670 The Score morning host Mike Mulligan is being awarded the Father Finnegan Memorial Award from Loyola University Chicago this weekend, and some of his colleagues congratulated him on the air Friday morning.
The award is given “in recognition of outstanding humanitarianism and service to youth through athletics”. Mulligan — a 1984 graduate of Loyola University Chicago — will receive the award Saturday during the Loyola Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony during a game against George Mason.
“Tremendous award,” co-host David Haugh said. “Proud moment for the show. Proud moment for you family.”
“They’re giving me an award for correctly picking the Super Bowl on September 8th,” Mulligan joked.
“That is fantastic,” Laurence Holmes said, while his co-host, Dan Bernstein, continued to say “wow”. “Congratulations. You shouldn’t be embarrassed. You should be proud.”
“I’m being celebrated for being old,” Mully joked.
“That’s not what that award says,” countered Holmes. “It says something completely different.”
The Mully & Haugh host eventually admitted he was appreciative of the award bestowed upon him by his alma mater.
“It’s a good thing. I’m very moved by it. Sister Jean will be there,” Mully said. “She has a book coming out with — I think — Seth Davis.”
