It’s a bittersweet morning for Notre Dame football fans as the legendary voice of Fighting Irish football Tony Roberts has died.  Roberts, who called Notre Dame football on the radio from 1980-2005, was 94-years old.

Any sports fan has a play-by-play voice they associate with their team.  For so many Notre Dame fans that voice belongs to Roberts because of the quarter-century he spent calling Fighting Irish football.
