"Whoa Nelly!"

Hands down, my favorite announcer in any sport...... ever.  

My whole life when a figure I grew up admiring, it was a case of them dying before their time.  Now, people I grew up admiring are dying because they are old.  That makes me feel old as well.  :(

Keith Jackson was on the call when Jay Edwards beat Michigan.  The only video I could find was for the aftermath.  Wish I could find his live call.

I think a lot of our younger guys don't realize how it was pre-1985.  Before cable or satellite TV got big.  To me loosing guys like Keith and Dick not only makes me feel old, but gives me the feeling that a generation is about to come to an end as much as I hate to say it.

When I heard news I immediately thought of the Edwards shot and call. That was the time when regular ABC was trying to transition into more college hoops and they called on Jackson/Vitale to deliver. I felt like Keith did about 7 or 8 IU games that year with Edwards doing his late game heroics all year long. 

RIP Keith Jackson.
