He looks like my grandfather who passed away a few years ago...I loved Keith Jackson’s calls. Such a great voice.

Legend. I loved when he referred to O-lineman as "big hog mollies".

One of his calls that always stuck with me was when Kevin Prentiss gave State a 4th qtr lead in the '98 SEC championship game on a punt return. Earlier that day, undefeated UCLA had lost at Miami and undefeated K-State had lost the Big XII title to A&M, so when Keith screamed "HE'S GONE!" he sounded like a fan, rooting for more chaos.

I’m still wondering the last LSU game he did. The last one I know of is LSU-Bama in 1985


I think it was Alabama at LSU in 1985.
