RIP Howard King, Voice of Michigan Stadium from 1972-2005
Sad news per Carl Grapentine's Facebook. Howard King passed away this morning in Traverse City at age 83. He was the Michigan Stadium PA announcer from 1972 to 2005.
Edit: Since there seems to be some confusion, Mr. King was never the Michigan Marching Band announcer. That has been Carl Grapentine since 1970, and Carl also took on the PA duties in 2006 after Howard King retired.
I do not know if others in this thread have commented on this, but the Howard King announcing style fro basketball is a kazillion times better than what we have @ Crisler right now

sorry tried to edit, not post twice
He was way, way, way, way, way, way better for basketball
along with Yost, Bo, Ufer, and the rest of the gang.
May they bring us power from the afterlife for some improbable victory sometime in the future.
I can imagine Ufer looking down on it and saying something like "Jim Harbaugh is looking up into footballs' Valhalla and sauing 'Thank you Howard King, thank you Howard King for that one.'"
