For nearly 30 years, Barry McAndrew’s booming voice was the soundtrack to Mercyhurst University’s biggest moments—his signature “That’s a ‘Hurst down!” still echoes in the memories of Lakers fans. More than just an announcer, Barry was a beloved teacher, mentor, and friend who made everyone feel seen, whether in the stadium or the classroom.
