Always loved the way he signed off for good
He was the best, I’ve only heard recording because I was too small when he was still on to remember. I really miss Mike Pratt, he was the voice of the Wildcats to me. Him and Tom Leach really took the mantle and did a great job.Cawood was not your typical homer. If UK was sucking, lack of effort or just not putting in the effort , he would be the first to call it out.
If UK got a call from the officials, he was quick to point out UK got a break.
He called it like he saw it, period.
He also called the Derby and put a great individual spin on a classic horse racing call. Instead of saying, "and DOWN the stretch they come," he said, "and NOW they come to me."He called more than just our games. He did the national radio call for the Final 4 and Title game. There will never be another Cawood Ledford.
This! “They’re just not gonna call a foul on duke.” Cawood during that 1992 game with duke. We were absolutely hosed. 😡 UK was the better team that night, by a decent margin.Cawood was not your typical homer.
