Cristil was one of a kind. I'd tune in to listen to him even though I didn't care about the game. He was classic.

I'd give anything to be able to hear Jack call one of our games this year

This is really upsetting me to think about.

take condolence from the fact that your sec brethren are, unfortunately for your brethren, experiencing it for them ...
but i'm sure they're watching it somewhere together ...

When I was a kid down at our farm I remember listening to the Egg Bowl on a hand held radio out on the deer stand. I could only get the State broadcast so I tuned into Cristil for the first time. I was maybe 11 or 12. I will never forget this exact quote that somehow burned into my brain. Just a mundane event in the game, but Cristil turned it into poetry:
"And two youngsters are down on the field needing attention. A testimony to the hard hitting that is going on in the game, and a nod to the heat, that is beginning to take its toll as this contest moves late into the afternoon."
He made you see it.
ETA: this was 30 years or more ago

Great post. I thought this earlier last week. But there are other gentlemen and ladies who are similarly dedicated to MSU and Ole Miss and I'm happy for them.

And
He
Can
Not
Gooooo
I heard Jack kind of get choked up in only one game. I think it was the Florida game when Spurrier played 3 QB's in the same game because we were killing them on defense. I always dreamed of listening to him calling a season like we are having.
