Holy #### - Keith Jackson Got Really Old ...Fast (1 Viewer)

[Binky The Doormat]

They are talking to him now on the Rose Bowl.  Wow ...

ETA:  One of my favorite announcers of all time.  I am just shocked at how he has gone downhill.  Has he been sick?

 

[The General]

He's pushing 90.

 

[Limp Ditka]

He was old 25 years ago

 

[avoiding injuries]

1. I wish I could make it to 90

2. I'd be happy to be in his condition. 

 

[NutterButter]

They should have him do the rest of the game with Herbie.  He'd be like 3 plays behind.

 

[Beef Ravioli]

He looks good but wow are they struggling to talk with him.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

:(

 

[Dedfin]

I bet he was nervous as #### on Dec 31st of 2016.

 

[belljr]

He was a pretty good eagle and dolphin

 

[Joe Summer]

What do you mean by "got old fast"? He's been retired since 2006. He's aged 11 years since most people saw him last.

 

[Ignoramus]

He was born in the ####### 1920s.  He got really old... at the typical pace.

Had no idea it was that long ago.  Not meant to be critical - it just shocked me.  

 

[Captain Cranks]

No reason he can't still call games.  Who cares if he's completely incoherent and fails to finish his thoughts.  His voice shouts, "you're watching college football right now." That's all we need to know.

I'd take a present day Keith Jackson over Brent Musberger any day.

Exactly. Wasn't the Texas/USC Rose Bowl his last game? What  a way to go out.

 

[The General]

Love Musberger.

 

[saintfool]

Love Musberger.

i can't listen to Musberger without thinking about the post that some FBG did. i wish i could find it because it cracks me up every time. something with him calling the game as he macks on the FSU cowgirls, peach cobbler, etc with Herb Kirkstreit.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Whoa Nell...what was I saying?

I love the dudes voice and the "you are looking live" thing. 

Still sounds great and has the best job. They'd have to pry that mic out of my hands if I was one of those guys.

Love Musberger.

Musberger has been imitating Keith Jackson's voice and style for the past 5 years.

Vince Young likes this.

Mix in some Vin Scully and it's all good.

 

[The General]

And if we are putting together the perfect announcer I'd like to add some Kevin Calabro. That guy doing Sonic games in the glory years was as good as it gets.

 

[NutterButter]

Musberger has been imitating Keith Jackson's voice and style for the past 5 years.

Doesn't seem like a bad thing

 

[mr. furley]

sounded like the same guy. just more... deliberate.

 

[sho nuff]

He was born in the ####### 1920s.  He got really old... at the typical pace.  

But the very end...was extremely sudden.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Time is unrelenting.

Guy looks incredible for 90. That is steel cut oats right there.

pic from his heyday

 

[Anthony Borbely]

His "Hello Heisman" call right before Desmond Howard's pose gives me chills to this day. 

 

[eoMMan]

I don't think he's a fan of Rush Limbaugh.

FumBUUUULLLLLLL!

Whoa, Nellie!
