Tom Roberts' last home game tomorrow

[Hooks4bama]

Alabama broadcasting legend to retire, Iron Bowl will be final home game

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

Just read this. Sad to see him go!

 

[CoolBreeze]

No, no, nooooooo! Man, I just love Tom. I am happy for him but selfishly wish he would stay on a few more years. He really is great at what he does and really a class act. I will miss him for sure.

 

[TideMom2Boys]

Sad to see him go. But Happy Retirement to him! I am sure he will enjoy it.

In the article published earlier, he recalled his first game as a reporter for the CW at the 1966 UT game. My mom was pregnant with me at the time and says she thought that game was going to send her into early labor. I attribute that to my extreme dislike for all things orange.

 

[CrimSonami]

Aw man! Really? Great for him but I'll definitely miss his sideline wit and passion for Bama football.

 

[Rush]

Wow, I had no idea...

As a longtime Bama fan from Canada - but a relative noob to local coverage, due to the internet - I'm saddened to hear this...

Luv the guy, but wish him all the absolute very best as he begins the next chapter in his life...

 

[BamaRevT]

Hate to hear this !!

 

[bamacon]

Well DANG IT we better send him out as a WINNER tomorrow night! Roll Tom Roll!!!

 

[crimson fan man]

The Coaches radio show on Thursday night will not be the same either. Great Guy and will miss him very much. Good Luck Tom.

Met him a couple of times. Didn't know me from Adam, but was one of the nicest gentlemen I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. And there are few, if any, that love the Crimson Tide as much as him. Hopefully he has a fruitful and relaxed retirement

 

[dadleyblane5]

Man, I wish it wasn't for him, loved the guy!

 

[TrueCrimson7]

Maybe someone who has contact with him can get him to join TideFans? His passion, experience, and knowledge of Alabama football would be awesome in our discussions.

 

[SeattleBama]

It has been a pleasure listening to him over the years.

Yeah I heard this on the Radio a couple of days ago. I wish Tom all the best, but the broadcasts are surely going to be different without him.
