I used to love listening to him.  Pretty impressive he made 90.  RIP

Damn didn’t realize he was that old. My dad used to record Sportsline on cassette tapes when I was a little kid when he wasn’t able to listen live. RIP. Barnhart is good.

He was such a great voice for the Illini and will be missed. RIP Jim Turpin
