With him, and Van Dyke passing I have 2 hits on the death pool halfway through January.
RIP Keith Jackson.
RIP Keith Jackson.
loved listening to him but when he did Husker games he seemed bias toward the other team, but either way he was the greatest off all time in the booth.
Really? I always thought he appreciated our 'bloody your nose' approach. Definetely my fave to listen to
I respectfully disagree with your first sentence.

Is there any announcers where you DON'T think they are the boogeyman out to get Nebraska?
One of my favorite Keith Jackson lines, was before the 95 CU game. Shortly after they ran Ralphie on to the field, he had a wry smile and quipped: "From one buffalo to another." He chuckled and it was gametime. RIP, to a true legend.
Interesting - I thought he was just the opposite and had respect for the Husker program.
So did I. If you think Keith Jackson was biased against us, you think everybody is biased against us.
The voice of college football. RIP.
A friend of mine used to be campus police during school there. He always bragged that he would feel like royalty when he would go in there and take a dump.
Wow first Dick emberg now Keith Jackson two of the greatest gone in a month
Very sad, diffidently two of the voices that just shouts out College Football.
He was my favorite as well. So sad to hear of his passing.
Haven't seen it mentioned but, FUMBLE!!
God speed RIP MARINE

Keith Jackson replaced Chris Schenkel as ABC lead play by play man announcing College football in 1974.
Schenkel was known for announcing the 1969 Texas and Arkansas and the 1971 Nebraska Oklahoma Game of the Century.

One of the greatest upgrades in the history of the world, regardless of industry.
Schenkel seemed like a nice guy, but he could make any sporting event seem as exciting as that week's stop on the Pro Bowlers' Tour.
Very shocked and saddened, Keith Jackson and Lindsey Nelson were my favorite College Football announcers...
RIP Keith.
I enjoyed Lindsey Nelson as part of a threesome doing NY Mets television broadcasts for many years. With Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy.

very few 'voices' left. the new ones sound the same to me, now. maybe my hearing is bad.

He also did 1971 Orange bowl against LSU... and plenty more OB after that.
I always looked forward to Keith Jackson calling college games on Saturday's. He was the greatest and I have missed him for years. Never thought he was biased against Nebraska or any team. After he retired I had always hoped that he would write a book about his experiences broadcasting college football, but it never happened. I suspect Keith Jackson probably forgot more about college football than most people ever knew.
Absolutely zero question or debate ... G O A T !!!!!!
He's busy hanging with Dandy Don and Cosell as well. RIP Mr. Gifford.
