When Central Michigan takes the field Friday afternoon for its bowl game, it will pay tribute to one of its most famous alums.
For its game against Wyoming in the Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho, Central Michigan will wear yellow, “OH MY!” stickers on the back of its helmets, an homage to Dick Enberg, the legendary broadcaster who died Tuesday of a heart attack. He was 82.
Enberg grew up in Armada before heading to Central Michigan, where he studied broadcasting, earned a bachelor’s degree and eventually moved on to a small station in Saginaw.
That kicked off a six-decade career in the broadcast booth, a run that took him to World Series, Super Bowls and an assortment of other high-profile sporting events.
