That's how it goes for one of the most recognizable voices in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The longtime play-by-play radio announcer for Florida State athletics, Deckerhoff's epic road trip started last Thursday night when the Seminoles visited North Carolina. Then it was off to London for his other football job - calling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' game against the New England Patriots.

"A typical football weekend," Deckerhoff said. "But it covered a lot more distance, mileage-wise."

Deckerhoff flew with the Seminoles to North Carolina, then jetted over to London on Friday, taking time to be a tourist on Saturday and having the requisite fish-and-chips dinner. He came out of the whirlwind trip fine, except for a broken tooth, courtesy of a peanut M&M on the flight home.

"I did a lot of work on the way over, getting ready for the Bucs," Deckerhoff said. He spent Monday and Tuesday preparing to call the game with the Tar Heels, then shifted gears for his NFL responsibilities. He travels with reams of notes and anecdotes that he'll tap during broadcasts.

Deckerhoff has called Florida State football since 1979, Buccaneers games since 1989, and has seen those teams score 2,170 touchdowns - without ever missing a game, although there's been a fair share of close calls along the way. He also calls Seminoles basketball and baseball.

This will be a much-needed easy week for Deckerhoff: The Bucs are off, and the Seminoles stay home to face North Carolina State.
