Sometimes the moments that change our lives begin when we least expect them.

In 2013, after visiting his daughter and going the entire night without sleep, Snowman made the walk to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. He was there to cover a women’s basketball game between the UIC Flames and the Butler Bulldogs.

Once inside, Snowman spotted Wayne Larrivee, the legendary longtime radio voice of the Green Bay Packers and former voice of the Chicago Bears and Chicago Bulls. Snowman gathered the courage to walk over, introduce himself, and have a wonderful conversation with one of the football voices who had inspired his own journey behind the microphone.

As Wayne prepared to leave, he gave Snowman a challenge:

“If UIC wins, you have to use my trademark line: ‘And there is your dagger!’”

Wayne gave him a fist bump and walked out of Hinkle Fieldhouse.

UIC won.

And Snowman put in the dagger.

What began as an unexpected meeting became a treasured broadcasting memory. Snowman could never have imagined what that moment would eventually become.

Now, more than a decade later, the story comes full circle as Snowman proudly welcomes the great Wayne Larrivee to Episode 7 of Mic 2 Mic.

Two broadcasters. Two journeys. One unforgettable conversation.

From that sleepless walk to Hinkle Fieldhouse, to the fist bump, to the dagger, and now to this moment behind the microphones, sometimes magic really does happen.
