A Conversation with Dave Nitz – May 28, 2024

On this bonus episode, I share my interview with West Virginia native Dave Nitz, recorded on May 28, 2024—just as he announced his retirement after nearly 50 years as the “Voice of the Bulldogs” at Louisiana Tech. Over a broadcasting career spanning almost 60 years, Dave called more than 4,500 Louisiana Tech games—including football, basketball (both men’s and Lady Techsters), and baseball—and 36 summers of minor league baseball, culminating in his 2019 induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. He shares candid stories from the booth, his enduring love for the game, and reflections on what’s next after an extraordinary run.
