Hall of Fame
The long-time voice of Cougar football, Bob Robertson started his association with the Cougars in 1964 and with the exception of a three-year stint from 1969-71, he has been the voice of the Cougars. Robertson is the most recognized sports voice in the state of Washington and has been named the State’s Sportscaster of the Year a record 15 times. Robertson, who grew up in British Columbia and attended Western Washington, has broadcast Wenatchee Chief baseball, Notre Dame football and basketball, Pacific Coast League baseball, North American Soccer League matches, Spokane Indian baseball along with Cougar basketball. A master at re-creating broadcasts from the home radio station studios, Robertson is credited with being the last announcer to re-create a baseball road game from home. In 2004 he received the Chris Schenkel Award, given annually by The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. Robertson was named co-Dad of the Year at WSU in 1978 and is a member of the State of Washington, Pierce County and Inland Northwest Sports Halls of Fame. The voice of the Cougars is perhaps best known for his trademark signature at the close of every broadcast, “Always be a good sport, be a good sport all ways.”
