Max Falkenstien Steps Down

Okay, there are some people and some stories, towards which my bias shows completely through. Sitting at mid court with members of his family, Max Falkenstien beamed as his commemorative jersey No. 60 was unfurled high in the southwest rafters of Allen Fieldhouse at halftime of the Kansas University-Colorado game Wednesday night. Max is the greatest guy I’ve ever had the honor to meet. His name will forever hang next to 27 of the basketball players he covered in his 60 seasons broadcasting KU athletics.

“I thought it was fabulous,” Falkenstien said of the jersey-retirement honor; the 60, of course, signifies his number of years in the business. He originated the “Jayhawk Radio Network”

The 81-year-old Falkenstien, who is stepping down after this season, worked his final home game Wednesday. Kansas sports will not be the same without you Max, we will miss you.
