Best college football announcer ever in my opinion. When Keith Jackson was doing a game you knew it was a BFD.

I named a kid after him. My ex thought it was for his cousin, but it was absolutely for Keith Jackson.

been thinking about this all weekend -- is Keith's relationship with football the most synonymous of any announcer and sport in television history?

Yeah, Madden is there for the NFL in the analyst role. Keith definitely for play-by-play.

Scully is probably it for baseball too, but I think his regionalism over the last 25 years doesn't make him the slam dunk that Jackson.

I assume you are being sarcastic on the latter, there. I'd use Mike "Doc" Emrich for hockey. Or maybe Don Cherry.
