Really sad to hear that the iconic Keith Jackson died last night. He was the soundtrack to so many of our Saturdays.

The voice of college football and so much more has left us. My mentor and dear friend, Keith Jackson passed last night surrounded by his family. Truly one of the greats in the broadcasting industry. I am grateful for my time with a true legend. Thank you for the lessons KJ.

The voice of college football. But so much more: First play-by-play man on MNF. Called Mark Spitz's seven gold medals in Munich and Eric Heiden's five golds in Lake Placid. Much more. A legend. Very sad day.

Of course, Keith Jackson was the voice of college football, but he called some big baseball games too, including Bucky Dent's homer and the Mets-Astros epic in 1986.
Great broadcaster - Mr. Keith Jackson.
RIP.
Best one in my book ! R.I.P.
And when he was paired with Bud Wilkenson, former Oklahoma coach, who did color commentary with him between 1969-77, it was the best team ever to cover college football.
RIP Mr. Jackson.

Another one from the era of exceptional sportscasters.
RIP
