Faculty Scholar Spotlight: John McGuire, SMSC
|
Dr. John McGuire’s path to working as a sportscaster and becoming a professor at Oklahoma State began in Iowa in the early 1970s. Watching a radio announcer calling his brother’s basketball game, McGuire decided doing sports play-by-play would be a fun way to make a living. By the early 1980s, McGuire was already calling games for the public radio station at Northwest Missouri State University that he worked for as a student. |
