How Eli Gold went from a New York hockey announcer to the voice of Alabama football

By his own admission, Eli Gold came to Alabama as a New Yorker, a pro sports guy, a hockey announcer and had no connections to the University of Alabama and college football. So how did he become the voice of Alabama football for nearly four decades? And how did local audiences react when he was first announced as Alabama’s new play-by-play announcer?

Today, on Beat Everyone, Eli sits down with Ben Flanagan and Michael Casagrande to discuss his journey from Brooklyn to Tuscaloosa and everything in between.
