In His Own Words: An Interview With Larry Zimmer

Larry Zimmer recently announced the 2015 season would be his last as the voice of Colorado Buffaloes football. His undeniable presence in the broadcast booth has become a staple for Buffs athletics over the past five decades. Zimmer, 79, is tied for fourth in most consecutive years announcing in major college football. He's called over 1,000 games in his entire career and has only missed 12 games at CU. In 2009, Zim was given the prestigious honor of receiving the Chris Schenkel Award for lifetime achievements. To date, only 20 broadcasters have ever received the award. It's an honor and a pleasure to interview such an outstanding person, who's meant so much to CU.
