Has to be top 5 in the nation for college football announcers.
Whoa!!!  Nelly

Keith Jackson is a legend - does a great job. He is very clear and concise and is enjoyable to listen to.

Old school college football broadcaster , he brings back memories of Wishbone offenses and such.

I know what Lance is talking about when it comes to the errors in the Rose Bowl. He has generally become more prone to this type of thing since he came back from retirement. However, the man just has too much personality that is unique to be anything less than five stars.

Greatest College Football Announcer ever. So many unforgettable calls and so knowledgeable of the game. ABC will really miss Keith when he finally retires.

Jackson and Fouts were absolutely horrible last night during the Rose Bowl- I would like to think they were drunk because it was that bad. They repeatedly screwed up how much time was on the clock, said there were flags when no were thrown, said time outs were called when it was actually penalties, said the ball was fumbled when it wasn't, claimed White hadn't fumbled when he had, had no clue that the player needs to have possession of the ball when hitting the ground and the ball pops out to be an interception (if a player flies through the air, catches it and it pops out as he hits the ground that IS NOT an interception)... and the list goes on and on. Someone please tell me when this guy was any good... because I can't remember.

Keith Jackson sounds biased for teams from the West Coast because that is where he is from and those are the games he covers. Its only natural that he will come off speaking on them a lot more, considering he knows more about that team than the other. He still has a great voice that is one of the most recognizable in sports broadcasting. I would like to hear him calling games as long as he is able to.

Keith Jackson should be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame, but his time is over. Each and every game I have listened to his commentary the last couple of seasons exemplifies the fact his time has passed. Additionally, his commentary is usually biased toward teams on the west coast.

No one does college ball better. What a career Jackson has had. HOF big time.

I happened to listen to the broadcast of the ND/Stanford game and thought Keith Jackson did a terrible job. He really has lost his touch. Also the comment he made about the upcoming Colorado/Texas game was very unprofessional and deserves an apology. It is time for him to step down he has lost his grasp of broadcasting and what the game means.

He makes way too many mistakes, especially in the heat of the game and in particular on completions, interceptions, and incompletions. I feel sorry for Dan Fouts having to constantly correct him. He should have retired many years ago.

He is the voice of college football. I miss his work since he does all West Coast games.

the best in the business

As American as apple pie. Simply the best.

He is to College Football what Walter Cronkite was to evening news. Love his Whoa Nellies, and Rumbling Stumblins.

Keith Jackson was once the best. But Keith, RETIRE ALREADY!!!! He was supposed to retire 6 years ago. His last game was going to be the National Championship Game when Tennessee beat Florida State. Everyone was saying goodbye Keith, but good old Keith didn't go anywhere, and is still going 6 years later, and man does he stink. He makes so many mistakes every game, just retire already.

Whoa Nellie! this guy IS the Voice of College Football. THE BEST. He should be cloned and should move down South and do SEC games. Love him!

It's not college football season till I hear Jackson announcing. Period. Dot.

Past his prime. A legend in his time but that time has past. Listening to one of his current broadcasts is truly painful - constantly hunting for and stumbling over his words.

The voice of college football and of sports in America, Keith Jackson brought the raw, and pure broadcasting talent, to the American public in outstanding order. I don't care if a 25 year old knows the plays better, were lucky people like Keith, stick around and enjoy their career well into retirement years.

classic, but totally unneeded as an announcer, other than his voice, added nothing to the game.

Jackson is a legend, but I was never a big fan of his Jackson has bias towards the west coast and every chance he can cuts down teams especially the Big XII.

My Dad's generation had Lindsey Nelson....we had Jackson. To me, he'll always be THE VOICE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

Miserable. This is a guy who couldn't see Woody Hayes deck that player from Clemson in the face back in the 70s. Gee Frank, I'm not sure what happened down there. He should hang 'em up for good.

How long do we tolerate this BLIND cretin who should have retired already? He may have been good in his prime, but GET HIM OFF THE AIR!

Like a white oxford or Levi's jeans...Classic

No one can do a broadcast like Mr. Jackson. From my youth to present day, I hung on every word to come from his mouth. There will never be another like him. He is to college football what Edward R Morrow was to news coverage

Not only is his tone and delivery classic in and of itself, he also brings wit, knowledge, and excitement to every game he broadcasts. Keith Jackson IS NCAA football in our time. Wooooooah Nellllyyy!

The greatest...I MEAN GREATEST NCAA ANNOUNCER OF ALL TIME! Second to None! Wwwwwhhhhhhoooooaaaaa NNEEEEEELLLLYYYYY....he better hurry because there are big people coming. He is what every broadcast major strives to be, he brings class, respect, wit, savvy, knowledge and history in to our homes every Saturday. Who else could make Dan Fouts sound good? WHO?

Keith was horrible, back in '88, he called an incomplete pass only to find out that griese said, "Interception!" Keith didn't say a word til Notre Dame scored on the pickoff and muttered, "Rumblin tumblin touchdown Smgala Notre Dame, no flags!" No flags, I know he hates Notre Dame, but he shows it too much in his commentary

Simply put: The Voice of College Football.

Oh let me tell ya about Keeeith Jackson.

not that great

best their is

To use the term, "YOU the man!" when it comes to college football broadcasting. Kudos to ABC for keeping him on, if only regionally.

Best college football announcer ever!

"Oh Nelly"

Jackson's overrated. Totally lacked enthusiasm during the greatest college football game ever (that's Ohio State's win over Miami).

What can you say about someone with as much tenure and knowledge? Keith Jackson is to sports broadcasting what Walter Cronkite was to news broadcasting.

pure class

I can't stand Keith's cryptic comments during his coverage of his own almamater school. Does he really hate his old school, or is he just over compensating, so people won't think he's one sided. Anyway, as Cougar, I regret to admit that Jackson is an Alumn.

Best football announcer. Great voice, he doesn't overdo it. He will be missed when he finally goes. . .

WHOA NELLIE! The greatest voice in college football. Period.

Whats a college football game without Keith?

The only voice that ever mattered in college football.Although, I think I was in my early twenties before I knew what a "donnybrook" was.

Keith Jackson is a successful black man sho does a lot for our community and our children. His show is off the richter scale.

People have to learn to let go. The guys announcing days came and went years ago, but for traditions sake people keep this old joker miked. He knew it was time to retire and he did. Its too bad he couldn't find happiness in retirement and came back. Its time to get some new blood in there and stop holding onto the past.

College football has one sound to me: the voice of Keith Jackson rising with excitement: "FumBLLLLEE!!! The Sooners have it!"

Even though he is semi-retired, whoa Nellie, Keith is still among the best. His very aura exudes college football.

I will always associate his voice with college football.
