Cory Crowe marks his 300th consecutive game as public announcer for home games and radio engineer for away games for the University of Louisiana Monroe Warhawk Football team. He hasn't missed a game since the year of 2000 season for the Warhawks.

Crowe works as the football, baseball, and men's and women's basketball announcer. He also works as a play-by-play television announcer for ESPN+ covering ULM softball, volleyball, and soccer.

Crowe has been a consistent and persistent person when it comes to his career. On a typical game day Crowe arrives 10 hours before the game and away games he arrives 5 hours before. Through his career covering ULM he has traveled more than 160,000 miles, 6 1/2 times around the Earth.

The streak has been running for 26 years and will hit 300 games on Saturday when the Warhawks host Arkansas State at 2 p.m. for homecoming.
