Mike Keith is excited about what's next for him – he's returning to his alma mater to call football and basketball games for the University of Tennessee.
But Keith is leaving a job he's devoted much of his life to for the past 27 years, so it's hard for him to even put it all into words.
Since 1998, he's called 535 games for the franchise.
"It's the most complicated set of feelings I've ever had, based on the fact that I am very excited on one hand, and I'm extremely sad on another. I've never been through anything like this," Keith said. "The (University of) Tennessee opportunity is just fantastic. To be involved in college athletics, at my alma mater, and everything that goes with it is incredibly exciting.
"But I leave the Titans with nothing but wonderful memories on so many different events, on and off the field. I've made so many friends. So, it is really, really complicated, and I don't know how to describe it well because I've never been through anything like it in my life."
Few individuals have had as profound an impact on the Tennessee Titans as Mike Keith. From the moment we announced our relocation to Tennessee, Mike became more than just a broadcaster; he became the voice that welcomed an entire state to our team. pic.twitter.com/2sp99LBNmp

Keith, who graduated from Tennessee-Knoxville in 1991, is returning to his roots. He was hired by legendary UT broadcaster John Ward while he was in school, and he worked at the Vol Radio Network from 1987-98.
