RIP Jack. The last of the Old School SEC radio men.
Used to keep a three-minute egg timer - the old "sands of time" hourglass type - in the booth with him when he was calling a game. Every time the sands ran out, he would give the score and the game time and flip it over, because he knew someone just tuning in would want to know what was happening and he thought they shouldnt ever have to wait more than three minutes to find out.
Class act, and like Larry Munson a real homer who still wouldn't hesitate to tell it like it is.
