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.

Re: Whoa Nellie
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.Shirley wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 11:54 amI think Madden and football is even more so.Brontoburglar wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:27 pmbeen thinking about this all weekend -- is Keith's relationship with football the most synonymous of any announcer and sport in television history?

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.
