From the time I was 10 years old and saw Jack Mildren during the ‘71 season he became a sports hero to me. Later as Lt. Governor he did not disappoint and I saw him as a good and honest man. And finally as a sports broadcaster again he did not disappoint. It was there while
listening to his broadcast that I felt like I knew Jack as he was such a personable man. And it was there I realized he was much more than a sports hero/legend. He was a well-rounded man that displayed all the qualities that a true role model should possess. God speed Jack, and my sincere condolences to your family.

My condolences to Jack and his family. He was a good man, and I always enjoyed listening to him with Al on the Animal. The spoofs the Morning Amimals made of his studdering were classic!

Not being an OU fan, I truly appreciated Jack. He loved OU (rightfully so) but he called it like he saw it, and always in a humorous and polite manner.

Jack was always a relief to listen to in that he actually talked about sports. He rarely gave an opinion that wasn’t thought out. He treated others with respect, which is a commodity in short supply these days.

Farewell, Godfather.

I loved listening to Jack on the radio. In fact, I enjoyed him quite a bit more than the usual morons on the radio. I would have liked to have met Jack.

My thoughts are with his family.

God bless you Jack.

RIP Mr. Mildren. I enjoyed listening to you on the radio and hearing about your playing days at OU. You were a great man from what I could judge and you will be missed.
