The frenzy and excitement at the conclusion of a recent college football game nearly cost Bob Brooks his life.  Fans trampled the Cedar Rapids radio announcer after Iowa upset third-ranked Penn State in Iowa City after a last second field goal.

 

The 81-year-old Brooks has been in broadcasting for 67 years and says this is the first time something like this has happened to him.

 

After being helped back on his feet, he made his way to the locker room.  After all, he had some interviewing to do.
