247Sports | CougFan.com: Bob Robertson, the iconic and beloved voice of Washington State football for five decades and Cougar basketball for more than two decades, passed away peacefully at home in University Place on Sunday surrounded by family, his long-time broadcast partner, Paul Sorensen, tells Cougfan.com. He was 92.
Robertson’s mellifluous delivery, coupled with an uncanny ability to paint a picture out of words, created a near-cult following among generations of Cougar fans whose Saturdays weren’t complete until Bob advised them at each broadcast’s end to “Always be a good sport, be a good sport all ways.”
