Agree with “Whoa, Nellie!” Could not beat his homespun calls. Losing a whole generation of great broadcasters... 🙁

If Pat Summerall was like listening to 18 year old single malt scotch Keith was like listening to 18 year old single barrel bourbon.
RIP legend.
What you guys said.....what a huge part of my life....one more---
"A Soph-a-more"
Always remember him doing the Rose Bowl in the ‘70’s when the Big Ten usually lost . “The granddaddy of them all”.

Wasn’t that a Brett Favre saying as well??? Or was he saying that in a Keith Jackson voice?? I know I heard Brett say that or something close to that one time.

Ha ha, thanks Goalline.....I knew Brett did it as well.
I remember when ABC Sports covered the Log Rolling Championships in Hayward, WI back in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Keith was the announcer who interviewed the winners. A far cry from him announcing the Rose Bowl game, but a professional at his job, none the less. R.I.P. Keith Jackson.
The best. Loved his call of the Rose Bowls and the UM-OSU games.
Log rolling championships. I forgot about those being on TV back in the day. LOL
RIP Mr. Jackson. You were one of the best.
