I have a friend looking for an audio link of Jules at Memorial Stadium. Can anyone help?
I was unaware of him working Memorial Stadium myself.
Thanks in advance.

OLBERDINGGGGGGGGGGGG
SHIKENJANSKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Final score from Iowa City. Iowa 28, (pause) Michigan State 31!
Favorite memory: "There's a squirrel on the field...he's to the 30, the 25, the 15, out of bounds at the threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
Thought it was funny that they showed that squirrel last week.
Every year their was High School Band day at Memorial Stadium. One year they started playing while Jules was reading an announcement.
"Will the Bands in the west end zone PLEASE SHUT UP!!!"

He was the best I ever heard.
That was Ray Christensen possibly?

Tuckerrrrrrrrrr for 3!![]()
That would have been great if Tucker had only played in the 3-point era of CBB.
Bingo Gophers7! I was wondering how long it would take before someone would notice this (hence my winking emoji). I was at those games in the late 70's and early 80's and yep, no 3-point line. You get the "atta boy" of the day award!

I tried without luck to find an Audio Link of Jules PA Announcing. If there isn’t one there definitely should be. I did find other interesting links about Jules though. Evidently you can hear Jules announcing a part of a Gopher Football game in the McNamara Alumni Center on the site of old Memorial Stadium.
Quote from the website below:
When visitors walk through the Memorial Arch, they’ll hear historical audio of Gopher announcer Julius Perlt, the University Marching Band, and fans singing the “Minnesota Rouser.”

Here is a good photo of Jules at Memorial Stadium 1955:

Here is Jules' bio in “M” Club Hall of Fame: Not sure I knew he was a Big Ten Champ in Gymnastics in the 20’s and also he is in the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame.

Here is an essay from the Alumni Association and it might indicate where Bob Casey might have picked up his celebrated warning about smoking in the Metrodome. - - - “No Smoking” in the Metrodome".
Quote from the Essay:
Fans of a certain age remember Perlt’s backward announcement of an upset: “Here is a score from South Bend, Notre Dame 7 . . . Purdue 21!” This was always greeted by hysterical applause, but the line that got the biggest howl, in the corners of the big horseshoe where students nipped at flasks, was his pregame warning about the “wrongful use and consumption of intoxicating beverages.”

I still would like to hear an audio clip of Jules though.
Any idea when that was? I seem to remember seeing it, but I could have just heard about it before.
Remember going to Mich/Gophs game at the brickhouse (80 or 81?) and hearing Jules growl "Haji-Sheikh" over and over. Between kick-offs, extra points and FGs, Mich kicker was on the field a lot.
