Have thoroughly enjoyed listening to JC over the years. Grew up in MS and listened to the State broadcast of many an LSU/State game. He is the class all the way and his years in broadcasting speak for themselves.
Thanks for the memories Mr. Cristil. You will be missed.

Damn, he was the last of the legendary old-school college football PBP guys from my long-ago youth: Forney at Bama, John Ward at UT, Ferguson at LSU, and of course Munson at UGa.
Cristil was never as polished as some of the above, but he ALWAYS told it like it was, frequently to devastatingly funny effect. And thanks to his trusty egg timer, you were never more than 3 minutes away from hearing the score.
So long Jack, take care of yourself, and thanks for the memories.

A true legend. I don't even like State but I know greatness when I hear it.
Best wishes...and farewell.

Jack Cristil If Mississippi State were a sound it would be his voice.

Always thought he did an excellent job.

It just feels like everything is changing in the SEC. No more Cristil and Munson on the radio, no more triple headed monster that was the 3 Daves for the early game, and now the chance of no rolling at Toomers.
If something happens to the marina in which the Vol Navy docks...I may just pull a Brooks from the Shawshank Redemption and say goodbye to this cruel world.

One of his alleged quotes I remember reading (unconfirmed): "Well, LSU has put in their 3rd string... that should about even the playing field."
