In 1993, Bob was introduced into the South Carolina Hall of Fame. In 1995, Columbia Mayor Bob Coble established "Bob Fulton Day" in Columbia, on January 18th. Not to mention, Fulton was honored the  "Order of the Palmetto", the highest award a South Carolinian can get, from former South Carolina Governor Carroll Campbell. He was honored at the Gamecocks' Jan. 2, 1995 Carquest Bowl win over West Virginia in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Fulton is a nine-time recipient of the sportscaster of the year in South Carolina.

Bob Fulton has been honored at many other banquets. His book "My Career My Life" describes Bob's life as a USC commentator and a vivid account of Gamecock Baseball, Basketball, and football during his 43 plus year career as the "Voice of the Gamecocks." You can buy it for $14.95 on his website, bobfultonthevoice.com.
