From KUT:
Ruben Pizarro has been calling the Texas–Oklahoma game for a quarter century. It wasn’t a job he set out to do.
His sports broadcasting career began while he was in residency at a Monterrey medical school.
“They didn’t have scholarships,” Pizarro said. “So, I paid for my post-grad doing newspaper, TV and radio.”
