WSU151 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/5545438Easily one of my favorite broadcasters. It's been a pleasure to listen to you, Keith. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logodawg Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Man, there goes the only guy that I actually like to listen do the play-by-play. What a sad day for college football. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wathcin' PTI today they also mentioned that he said" I don't want to die in the stadium parking lot."

There were a lot of reports after the Rose Bowl that he'd hang 'em up for good after that one.Great announcer, with ABC losing the big time games next year, that could've been a major factor.

winghaz Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I could listen to him describe paint dry. The best play-by-play in football. period.It won't be the same without him. And Keith Jackson could make paint drying sound interesting.We could all say, "Say it ain't so, Keith," but what the heck. All I can say is good luck in retirement, Keith. May you have many happy years ahead of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 It was a pleasure to have listened to him, especially with him mainly calling west coast games. To me, he ranks right up there with Vin Scully and Chick Hearn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmaker17 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Have to admit though, this year's Rose Bowl was a heck of a way to bow out. I wholeheartely agree, what a way to go out. The homer in me feels honored that his last broadcast saw the Longhorns win it all.Enjoy your golden years, Mr. Jackson, you've more than earned them.
