The voice of Husker hoops

This month, Kent Pavelka begins his 32nd season of broadcasting University of Nebraska men’s basketball on the radio. A Lincoln native and a University of Nebraska graduate, Kent was a radio color analyst on Big Red football games from 1974 to 1983 and the play-by-play announcer for Husker football from 1984 to 1996. Since 2006, he’s run his own advertising and marketing firm, and in September, Kent became the 158th Face on the Barroom Floor at the Omaha Press Club. Nick Schinker chronicles Pavelka’s life and career beginning on page 10.
