As Mike Golic has his final day on the radio waves with ESPN on the final Wingo and Golic, fans, friends and family are delivering tributes to the legend who has been on ESPN Radio in the morning for over two decades.
They’re sharing their favorite moments on the air from his time with the Worldwide Leader, along with photos. That had #ThankYouGolic and Golic’s name trending on Twitter on Friday morning, while his final show with Trey Wingo was on the air.
Here’s a roundup of some of those tweets pouring in on what could be a very emotional day for Golic:

Thank you @espngolic for your incredible analysis, passion and being one of the most genuine people at ESPN for 22 years. And thank you for still one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen. #ThankYouGolic pic.twitter.com/Bv74GWi0PG

In this business, few things are more difficult than staying power. For 22 years on radio, @espngolic has been a standard inside and outside of ESPN. Proud to have joined the show to talk ball, (and will miss the food spread outside his studio every morning). #ThankyouGolic. https://t.co/RXMTm3b2W9

“To do it for 22 years at the level that you have done it is so hard to do. Few people have done it better and few people have done it classier than you have.”
