Legend Passes

And yes, Keith Jackson is a legend. Being an old fogie, I grew up with Jackson calling all the big games. Before the ESPN's and teh cables, you normally got 2 college football games per weekend. Usually a regional game, where you hoped your team would be on, and the biggest national match up. Jackson seemingly always had the marquis game. He had several signature phrases or sometimes it was just his voice inflection when he called a fumble. He was 89.

I opened this really, seriously hoping you were referring to that redneck convict asshole that used to call in to Finebaum when I wasted time listening to that show.

Now, now.

Keith loved him some Pac10 and Allabammuhhh.

But for me, his voice was college football on TV for a while.

Maybe. But compared to the asshats of today like Gary? He was great. Tirico is one of the few left.

Believe it or not, was out on the Saturday morning pre-XMas and turned on WJOX. Apparently no "real" sports jocks were working and there was a pre -game Iron Bowl discussion hosted by Kip Keifer (Bham Racecourse honk) and special guest host LEGEND...yes...that redneck, criminal from Finebaum.

I liked Keith Jackson but his Bryant worship became sickening during our eleven year drought.

Didn't he get banned for life back in the fall or something?

If so he must be back in good graces. He actually spoke highly of Auburn and halfway attempted to be objective.
Yes...I couldn't help but listen a bit.

The way it is explained to me jmar is that once you are dead that you are permanently banned. But I have had numerous brain surgeries, so admittedly things are sketchy sometimes

I've read your posts. Just refer to it as numerous"head" surgeries!

If the swat team takes me out as Iâ€™m rightfully getting vengeance and people are asking why, there is a list in my nightstand. And in my glovebox.

There arenâ€™t a lot of details , I know. But as investigators are pissing away taxpayer money, trying to piece together why so many losers were taken out, just point them to posts like this.

WT does not have time for this.

It must be nostalgia more than anything.

I don't get the sense of loss with Jackson or Cronkite or any corporate shill passing.

I miss Jim Fyffe and mourned his passing because of his singular focus in broadcasting: love of Auburn University.

Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

Neighbors pit bull got ran over after the holidays. Recovered from surgery. Saw him chasing cars again yesterday.
Just saying because if you run out of heads I could probably find one for you that might last a while.
Might initially feel the urge to run for the street and sniff assholes but it could be an option.

For someone that is so sensitive about the feelings of the gays and colored peoples, you sure talk about stroke victims.

Keep it up big guy.

He grew up close by in Roopville, GA. To put it perspective Roopville today would make Slapout look cosmopolitan.
