As a kid I can remember listening to Jack Fleming broadcast WVU football and basketball games across the radio. Back then it was a rarity to watch them on the television. Everyone immediately knew it was Jack by his famous tone of his voice. He broadcast WVU games like NO OTHER sports reporter EVER!!! I can’t believe WVU hasn’t honored the greatest sports broadcaster to ever broadcast a WVU game!

Most definitely the press box should be named for Jack Fleming. His voice filled our fro as long as I can remember.

I listened to Jack on my little radio down in Greenbrier Co. when I was growing up, sometimes thru static, but I remember this game well.

If any play by play announcer ever deserves to have a press box named in his honor, it is Jack Fleming.

Growing up in Morgantown Jack was always on. Nobody called a game like him. CLASS ACT.

Jack Fleming IS WVU football to me. My dad and I never missed a broadcast when I was a kid. This really should have happened years ago.
