Principled Man Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) The word "Legend" doesn't come close to accurately describing this man and how he made College Football games great. http://www.footballfoundation.org/portals/7/nff/picture_biography/jackson_keith_0001.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNeOEHGpYyc Edited January 13, 2018 by Principled Man 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 His voice was a part of the whole great football weekend experience - along with my Dad bringing wood in for a fire and the leaves gathering on the ground and the bands playing at the games - RIP Keith 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Keith Jackson gone. Brent Musberger still alive. Life's not fair. RIP Edited January 14, 2018 by HemiBeers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I got a kick out of hearing Keith call the 1979 World Series with Cosell on the dvs of the series. Cosell would always try to upstage him but Keith kept his cool the entire time. Great stuff. RIP a Legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
