A big thanks to all who have commented on the legend, Bob Barry. He will always be viewed as a true giant in Oklahoma sportscasting, as well as a great person.
A great, gentle, unassuming man. He treated everyone the same and had zero ego. My dad was an engineer at wky and kfor with Bob for decades and he took us golfing a couple of times...2 of the worst rounds of golf I ever played (CHOKE) and he truly suffered with me. We loved the man!! RIP Mr. Barry!!!
Some of my fondest memories as a kid were seeing my grandpa yelling in excitement at the tv while I heard bob yelling at the same time, "now at the 20, 15, 10, 5, touchdown Oklahoma!". Bobs voice will never be forgotten. RIP big bob. RIP Grandpa
sad day to hear of this ..... such an oklahoma icon in sports .....truly will be missed god bless you bob .... and to the barry family thoughts and prayers
never will forget hearing touchdown oklahoma!!!!!!
I'll miss Bob. He was the best. You could be halfway across the state listening to the game on AM radio & thanks to Bobs passion, it felt like you had a seat on the 50 yard line.
"He's at the 30 25 20 the 10 the 5 TOUCHDOWN OKLAHOMA"!
RIP to a legend. I think you and I know the feeling with the late Bill King (who once called Raiders games, and ended his career with Oakland A's games) and of course Chick Hearn.
@TheOusooner56 Haha np, I did. Really? Youve watched him for that long? That must have been amazing to see him commentate for this many years. He definetly was a treat to listen to. Whenever I hear a touchdown, I will always hear him and "Touchdown Oklahoma!" No one can replace him
@crimsoncreamforever when i was in high school, he was doing the play by play for OSU....John Brooks was doing the OU play by play. Talk about a long time ago!
Oklahoma State Cowboy fan here......Much love and condolences to Bob Sarry's family and friends! He seemed like a lovely guy.
