Editorial reviews

Tom Kelly, winner of five Golden Mike Awards and three-time California Sportscaster of the Year, gets together with journalist Tom Hoffarth to share previously untold anecdotes from many of the legendary figures in USC football history. Michael Scherer's unique voice is knowing and upbeat, making listeners feel as though Kelly himself is behind the microphone. This is no mean feat as Kelly was the signature voice of USC sports for nearly 50 years. Kelly's insider status means that fans will get to find out the inspiring stories behind the Trojans' five Heisman Trophies and five national championships, as well as the drama behind their losses.

Publisher's Summary

Bringing the Trojans to life - newly updated!

Tom Kelly, the legendary signature voice of USC sports for nearly five decades, combines with co-author Tom Hoffarth of the Daily News of Los Angeles to take Trojan fans on a journey of memories and previously untold anecdotes from and about many of the great coaches, players, teams, and games in USC football history, as well as other sports. His story in Southern California starts with the recommendation of Jack Buck that he be hired as Chick Hearn’s color man on USC football and basketball games in 1961. During Kelly’s 40-plus year run, the Trojans boasted five Heisman Trophy winners, won five national championships, and played in 14 Rose Bowls and 24 overall bowl games. Kelly, who won five Golden Mike Awards and was named California’s Sportscaster of the Year three times, was inducted into USC’s Hall of Fame. His stories and anecdotes will become a must-listen for all Trojan fans.
