Best wishes to Jay and his family. I hope everything works out for them.
This is a big loss for Bobcat coverage - I think Jay has been a terrific broadcaster.

Wow. I hope all goes well for the Sanderson family. To say we were lucky to have him would be a vast understatement. Thoughts and prayers to your family Jay and as far as I'm concerned you'll be a Bobcat for life!

Wow, our thoughts and prayers go out to the Sanderson family. We have been blessed to have a long line of excellent play by play broadcasters and Jay is right there at the top. We are going to miss you Jay. Thanks for all that you have done!

Really going to miss Jay. He is a great announcer. Admire him though for thinking family first. Hope he comes back to MSU when things improve in Kansas.

We are going to miss you Jay! Incredible talent that MSU has been very blessed to have! Thoughts and prayers for your family in Wichita. And professionally, I hope you get an opportunity at one of the Kansas outlets. You are a true talent!

I figured we would lose him sooner rather than later, talent like this belongs with the big dogs. Bummer we are losing him for an unfortunate reason. Thoughts, prayers and well wishes are with the Sanderson family!

Can anyone give me a history lesson on the past announcers? I remember Attebury.

Love listening to Jay, you'll be missed at MSU. Family is more important than any sport.

It is sad to hear this, wish him and all his family the best. I am just glad that he will go out with calling the Miracle in Missoula. I have watched the fumble 100+ times and it just wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t Jay calling it.

I was so bummed to see this, but I understand his reason. He will be much missed! I hope whoever replaces him keeps up the podcast as well, I really enjoyed that.

Losing jay will be like losing Connor. Both guys did more for MSU than they get credit for. All the best Jay, you were truly the best.


If your left, you aren’t right.

Thanks Jay! While we were on the road, you brought the Bobcats to life for my wife and I. At Cat Chat you always had great interaction with the coaches and kids and had always done your homework....a true professional.

Our best wishes as you face the challenge ahead.

Having Jay as the voice of the Bobcats has been great. Going to miss his game calls, but wish him the best in his family situation and his career in the future. He has great talent, so imagine regardless what he wants to do in the future, he'll land on his feet.

Unbelievable talent. I so much enjoyed his play by play and interviews. Jay will not be forgotten.
