KEITH JACKSON

[@anilomd]

Miss this guy.......when Saturday afternoons were enjoyed in more normal times.

[@ReadingsbyDom]

I so dearly miss Keith.

[@lovethedogsNC]

I grew up with Keith Jackson calling football games, It was the best of times in college football bar none.

[@jasonraczkowski6001]

The greatest college football broadcaster ever

[@mr.jaborstudios1922]

Without a doubt!

[@artieboyd1257]

Saturday's arent the same without keiths voice calling saturday college football games

[@ryanc9888]

I'm my opinion the greatest sports broadcaster ever, but that's obviously up for debate

[@Lava1964]

I don't think anyone could seriously argue that. He was a special man with a special voice.

[@emodrmmr007]

and one of us...ONCE A COUG...ALWAYS A COUG!!

[@jims2987]

The GOAT. The voice of my childhood. Adore the guy.

[@gregorywright3012]

How lucky we were to have Keith Jackson describe college football games, especially big games, for decades.

[@theknowitall4090]

Growing up a Bama fan NOBODY will ever replace Keith Jackson and the literal hundreds of games he called for us. But the many, many time I listened to him call Ohio St., Mich, USC, Texas, Penn St, Oklahoma and Nebraska games. He is, was and will always be the voice of college football.

[@BrianLiberante1]

He is ‘The Voice’ An absolute Titan … Mr Jackson is the good Standard in broadcasting.

[@johnmanning4097]

I grew up watching Keith Jackson Saturdays would be just perfect. Sitting back in front of the TV and you it is a big game if Keith Jackson is broadcasting it.

[@richmotroni]

I was so lucky to attend the 2004 Rose Bowl that was broadcasted by Keith JAckson. He will forever be the voice of college football.

[@GM-MarkOfExcellence]

The voice of My fall Saturday afternoons. The greatest. He is the GOAT

[@AliAhmed-dh4pl]

I’m so lucky to have grown up watching and listening to this great man. RIP, Mr. Jackson!

[@Montuckz]

a poet with every calculated word he spoke or exclaimed with enthusiasm unknown to mankind! thank you forever Kieth from this 45 yr old man who grew up as a child listening to you call Michigan games and rose bowls. the GOAT. not sure i would be as big a fan if it wasn't for your voice painting the glorious battle you saw unfold . RIP

[@florancerudi]

They grow em as big as bookends down here in Oklahoma, 328 lb on each end big old..... Corn fed monsters, both from Sweetwater , Texas and there's going to be a whole lot of head cracking going on on the football field today and we'll have it for you next on ABC sports.........THE LEGEND!!!!!!!! Rest in peace Keith, part of my childhood past when you did!! God bless

[@stevensicherman4101]

Lots of great ones, he’s the best ever

[@joeday4293]

The absolute greatest college football announcer who will ever call a game. His will forever be THE voice of college football. God bless you, Keith Jackson, and thank you so very much.

[@Brent-qu3yk]

I 👍 agree one in a lifetime the best ever that wonderful magnified voice❤❤❤🎉🎉😂love the guy RIP brother

[@altfactor]

This tribute left out the fact that Keith Jackson was the original play-by-play voice of "NFL Monday Night Football" in 1970. He called that first season of "MNF" before being moved to college football (and replaced on "MNF" by another broadcasting legend, Frank Gifford).

[@rubbersole79]

Whoa Nellie! Let me tell ya 'bout KEITH JACK-SUNNNN.....

[@rickbeck586]

He was the best college football announcer ever. Definitely miss him

[@Anthony11qq]

This dude was the GOAT. Hello Heisman...!!! The voice of college football of my youth. R.I.P.

[@robjohnson8861]

Mine too till I said enuf of MI and said no more. Guess who was the QB when I quit watching.

[@larryrogalski4067]

What a true classic! If you didn’t like him there was something wrong with you!!!

[@pitbull64]

The best ever to call sporting events on ABC Sports

[@edwardyoung522]

Scully and Jackson-the best. RIP, Keith.

[@willtoll43]

Simply the best . College football's greatest announcer.

[@SidelerMN]

1:46 “You’ll hear a roar that will knock pine cones out of trees 50 miles away.” Love it. I don’t think any other play by play commentator could pull off saying something like this

[@johng.8601]

You always knew it was a big game when you heard Keith Jackson's voice....Whoa Nellie!!! RIP Keith Jackson G.O.A.T

[@ballthemblack]

My favorite line. Whoa Neilie

A VOICE OF EXCELLENCE THAT IS THANKFULLY PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK FOR MY LIFE .... THANKS KEITH

[@JeremiahDoctsonFitness]

Thank you for the memories sir RIP.

[@chriscoccagna5917]

This is so much more than WHOA NELLIE !!! This great man was just a pure story teller. He told us of a simpler time. A crisp fall afternoon with the leaves changing colors. As a young kid growing up on the east coast, I loved how the seasons changed in the Big 10, whether it was an early warm September day in Wisconsin or a cold and rainy day in Spartyland in December. While I never listened to him on the radio, I wish I did. I can't wait til the first crisp fall day and college football to begin again. Thank you Mr. Jackson, you were definitely a part of my childhood and adolescent years !!!

"When the last glow drips away from THE Big House at Michigan, its a good time to have a seat and listen......." i was listening to you Kieth. thank you

[@djthereplay]

College Football on television is not the same anymore let alone with ESPN doing the ABC Sports coverage now . Back in the days if you were looking for CBS Sports and did not see Brent Musburger , you're on the wrong station . If you were looking for ABC Sports and did not see Keith Jackson , you're on the wrong station . I miss Keith Jackson's phrases , etc . but somehow life goes on … even in College Football . - Dwight

[@niss2142]

All kids playing college football during his time wanted their name mentioned by this great man. Even if it were for one play. My goodness....

It reminds me of so many times watching a game that he called with my dad. "As the sun sets on the Arroyos"

There's going to be a whole lot of head cracking going on on the football field today, where they grown big down here in Lincoln we got a couple of bookends on both sides cornfed monsters if you will and will be back, with#1 Nebraska &#2 Oklahoma with Jamel Holloway whoa Nelly......... And we'll have it for you next on ABC sports.......rip Keith

[@willischalepah9488]

there are no flags behind him it's touchdown.

[@daveycrocket4873]

I think he was better than Howard cosell

[@robjohnson8861]

Sorry Folks, achievements will be broken. Brad Nessler has now tied him, if not surpassed him. 3 hours of both and Brad wins out in total entertainment value. Plus, looking back at all the pointless Bo Schembechler/Lloyd Carr games Keith called kinda ruins the memories too. Michigan should self impose the death penalty. What a waste. 2 NCs in 70 years (and the last was a tie) and a ton of shoulda, woulda, coulda seasons.
