The Voice Box with John Cox
Each week veteran sportscaster John Cox, director of sports broadcasting in his 29th season at the University of Southern Mississippi, will teach Golden Eagle fans about the history of Southern Miss Athletics, conduct interviews with Golden Eagle coaches, staff members, student-athletes and former standouts, as well as give insight about subjects regarding Southern Miss athletics. Among his many duties at Southern Miss, Cox handles the play-by-play broadcasts of Golden Eagle football and basketball. He also hosts the Southern Miss Sports Today television shows with Head Football Coach Jeff Bower and Head Basketball Coach Larry Eustachy, pregame radio shows and Golden Eagle Hotline radio call-in shows on Tuesday nights. Prior to moving to the radio booth, Cox called the play-by-play on delayed telecasts of Southern Miss basketball from 1978 to 1981. In 1982, he handled the radio play-by-play duties for Golden Eagle football and switched back to the delayed television broadcasts of Southern Miss football for three years before assuming his current radio responsibilities. In 1982, Cox began broadcasting Southern Miss baseball games and has continued to handle this duty. Over the years, he also has handled broadcasts of Southern Miss women’s basketball and has worked on the Fox Sports Net South and Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) telecasts of Southern Miss baseball. Four times he has been selected as Mississippi’s Sportscaster of the Year, most recently in 1999. A native of Middletown, Ohio, Cox received his bachelor’s degree in radio, television and film from Southern Miss in 1978. He has two daughters, Joye, a recent graduate of Millsaps College and current graduate student at Florida State, and Erin. |
