he didnt make the billy cannon holloween punt return call for some reason. any one know why.


WJBO lost the contract as the flagship station for LSU football for two years in 1958 and 1959 to WAIL radio in Baton Rouge, thus the voice of J.C. Politz and not John Ferguson for Billy Cannon's Halloween night run.

John Ferguson, LSU Tigers From 1946–1987, LSU fans heard Louisiana native John Ferguson’s baritone pipes belting out the action live from Death Valley. An Army Air Corps pilot in World War II, Ferguson also served as a voice for the New Orleans Saints. In 2005, Ferguson died at the age of 86.
