In Episode 90 of the Talking Grammer podcast, I talk with Jack Nixon, who after 45 years of calling New Mexico State University sporting events on the radio will be retiring after this season.

The "Voice of the Aggies" will call his final Aggie/Lobo football game this weekend.

Sportscasting wasn't always his dream. We also talk about "The Shades", the sunglasses-wearing rock band he and friends formed in high school in Omaha and, of course, walk down memory lane through his career.
