(36) Memories of "The Drag" and going around Rays
I remember on away games for the Mustangs, finding a radio either in the house or in the car, and listening to Jack Stein call the Mustang games on the radio. He was a clasic and effective announcer. I always remember the great reporting he did. Through his descriptions of the game I could "see" what was going on. KXOX Radio did a professional job of presenting Mustang football, and was always a good friend to the folks in Sweetwater. Listening to the way he desribed Charlie Burnett "kicking and scratching his way through the line" or "That offensive line made a hole big enough for Benji Kemp to drive a truck through" was timeless. Or "it's a loooooong pass from McCain to Redwine..............COMPLETE". What a super radio station and what a super guy was Mr. Stein. By the way, I'm not sure now if his name was Jack....that name just popped into my memory.
