re: Jack Cristil's Farewell Address

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.
