“I would like to thank LSU and our fans for so many seasons of fond memories,” Borne’ said in a press release. “It’s been a great honor and I deeply appreciate it. I’m 79 years old and it’s time to retire and return the microphone. I’ll be spending more time with our family and we’ll always bleed purple and gold!”
He is credited with coining the phrase “chance of rain – never!” from the long-standing LSU mythical tradition of it never raining in Tiger Stadium.
“Dan’s legacy and his booming voice in Tiger Stadium will never be forgotten,” LSU Director of Athletics Scott Woodward said via press release. “Each Saturday night during the fall for 38 years, Dan’s voice was a big part of helping create the best atmosphere in college football.
“We are truly appreciative for Dan’s passion, his love of LSU football and helping create countless memories through the years for fans of all ages in Tiger Stadium.”
Borné will be honored during a football and basketball game in the upcoming LSU seasons.
