 National championships and buzzer beaters. Ecstacy and agony. Everything in between. As two universities two blocks apart in the center of Sioux Falls went through a litany of change the last quarter century — presidents, athletic directors, coaches, players, conferences, logos — one thing remained the same for both. Jeff Fylling was the radio play-by-play voice for Augustana football and basketball. Tom Frederick's dulcet tones painted the picture for the University of Sioux Falls. While providing styles that are undeniably their own, they both earned respect from fans and casual listeners alike for their well-prepared, authoritative, even-keeled, descriptive-if-not-meticulous nature. And when the moment elevated to excitement, theirs was genuine. Sure, you knew who was that broadcast's home team, but they strayed from the ever-emerging bombastic trend of "homers" you hear throughout the industry in recent years. As the years went by, their voice became those shoes or gloves you want to keep slipping on because they are such a comfortbale fit. When you have described over 1,000 games spanning a couple generations, you've seen and described just about everything. And in both Fylling and Frederick's cases, they've experienced a whole lot of life — ecstacy and agony and everything in between. In separate late summer interviews from the Gateway Lounge sports bar — a venue in Sioux Falls almost as venerable as their voices — Fylling and Frederick looked back on their broadcasting careers, how they landed the gigs they'd hold for decades, colorful personalities they worked with, and the most iconic moments they brought to life on the airwaves. The two modest and mild-mannered men also opened up events that have changed their lives within the last half-decade — Fylling's battle with cancer and the death of Frederick's wife Mary. In each case, they fought through emotions and heartache and are living their best lives at an age when most people retire. Both have retired from their day jobs in the last decade — in each case, they gave up daily radio early in their careers — but still enjoy the thrill and fulfillment from calling games. But both have also decided to step away from calling basketball, enthused by the freedom that comes with being able to travel to warmer locales in the winter whenever they'd like, which also means not having to navigate the arduous arctic road trips throughout Upper Midwest that comes with being the home-and-away voice of both Northern Sun men's and women's hoops. As for football, neither are ready to step away from painting the pictures of autumn Saturdays. But they were both ready to paint the pictures of their lives and careers in conversations we think you'll find as compelling as them describing the Vikings or Cougars possessing the ball with a few seconds on the clock and a chance to finish with a flurry.
