Hey Alex here from Split Zone Duo. This is the full extended cut interview with Steve Baker, the longtime

play-by-play voice of the Miami University football program. It's a companion for our subscribers

to go with our recently released episode of Dead Letters that just came out on the Split Zone

Duo feed. I'll just note this is a rough format. Interviews are not really spruced up, polished

up, fact-checked in the same way that an actual

episode is.

So you'll notice one or two things that I might be off on or corrected on the course of the interview, but figured we kind of leave it as it is so that you can just see, you know, how the interview actually goes. I think the one that sticks in my mind is that I want to say I said in here that Randy Walker, former Miami coach, made a Rose Bowl at Northwestern, but I was misremembering.

It was Gary Barnett.

That's the kind of thing you catch. is that I want to say I said in here that Randy Walker, former Miami coach, made a rose bull at Northwestern, but I was misremembering.

It was Gary Barnett.

That's the kind of thing you catch before you release an actual episode edit.

But taking you behind the curtain a bit to see the way that a split zone duo interview comes together that goes into Dead Letters.

So thank you for your support of Dead Letters and this project.

And we'll roll the interview. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. We're coming, and we ain't backing down. We don't need a bunch of cats in here looking in the mirror. Everybody just do your job. You understand that? Hey, will you shut up? I'm bitterly disappointed with the officiating today. Guys being dudes. And they run through our like a through a ten horn, man.

Ah, fuck it.

Welcome to this interview with Steve Baker,

the longtime voice of the Miami Red Hawks football program

and a bunch of sports.

Steve, you are an inductee class of 2024

to the Miami University Sports Hall of Fame. That's great honor.

Congratulations. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. And you earned it because you were there for a

very, very long time. And still there, as a matter of fact. Yeah, I'm, I retired from Miami University
