Jim would last throughout 8 tiger coaches, 400 football games, and an astounding 2,000 athletic events. His favorite broadcasting moment is when he commentated Jerry Butler's amazing catch to defeat South Carolina and end Clemson's 17-year bowl skid. His only regret is missing a chance to broadcast Clemson's 1982 Orange Bowl national Championship vs. Nebraska. Jim was introduced into the Clemson Hall of Fame in 1992.
