Irish Cat Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 And so has a piece of my childhood. I used to love listening to Keith Jackson call a game.
tcjkbt Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 He was great. When he was doing a game , he always made it seem like it was a big game. Some of his descriptions I remember: "big uglies", "between the tackles...that's where they sing the hymns", a low punt was a "tail dragger." RIP, Mr. Jackson. You done good.
Jumper_Dad Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I loved listening to him call a game...R.I.P. Sir.
Irish Cat Posted January 13, 2018 Author Posted January 13, 2018 Quite of career. Was watching some vidoes about him and just learned that he coined the terms "Grandaddy of the All" for the Rose Bowl, and "Big House" for Michigan Stadium. Outside of Notre Dame games, I would often choose which game to watch based upon whether he was doing the play-by-play or not.
k'd looking Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 "FUM-BLLLLLLEEEEE" !!!!!! What a voice!!!! Such a professional. R.I.P. Mr. Jackson.
nkypete Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Wow...he and Dick Enberg passing so close together.
The Professor Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 He always drew out the word Alabama when he said it. “Al....la...Bama!” With emphasis on the Bama part.
Bengal Maniac Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I just think he is "Mr. College Football" RIP
