    voice of college football

    Here's a sample of Keith in his "prime" in 1980. Just have to listen to the pre-game to remember how great his voice was.

    My brothers and I used to impersonate this call all the time. "It went out of here at abooout threeee hundred and ninety-nine feet."




    I can't forget his call of Billy Hatcher's home run too.




    And of course the 2005 NCAA championship game. "4th and 5, the national championship on the line right here..."

    I've got nothing to say. He was the voice of not just college football, but sports of all kind for a ton of my life. You can youtube "Keith Jackson" and listen to a ton of him calling various sports.
