Brent Musburger wrote in his application to the Shattuck Military Academy, "I am not going to school for fun. I am going for an education, but I'd like to know about your athletic setup."

Shattuck-St. Mary's president Nick Stoneman reflected Tuesday on highlights from Musburger's file and retold memories of the esteemed alum. The famed TV sports broadcaster, who called his final game Tuesday night on ESPN after nearly 50 years in the business, graduated from Shattuck, located in Faribault, Minn., in 1957.

"That is probably a little foreshadowing," Stoneman said of Musburger's query about the school's athletics.

Musburger used to spend study hall "pretending to broadcast baseball games," former Shattuck athletic director Hudson "Hockey" Mealy often told others.

Musburger also refined his craft from the top of a utility shed next to the football and baseball fields.
