For a game of this magnitude, only the GOAT CFB announcer is worthy of doing the play by play. LINK

The best ever.

By about 2005. Keith Jackson had even less of an idea of WTF was going on than Verne does now.

Way to link the only one of the six games where Bama managed to beat Notre Dame.

That was a bullshite call when Bennett hit that pussy QB. MB fumbled that ball and the refs gave it to ND.

You know after watching a bunch of old games I don't think kieth Jackson had been all their for a long time, him and dan fouts were terrible together, terrible. Even him and Grisese kind of suxed, him and Frank Broyles were great.. Tell you the truth bring back Ron Franklin for this game, I bet he can still call a better game then anyone else, alive today in college football...
I don't mind Verne really, the more I think of Brando replacing him, the more I like Verne, Verne may gets some names wrong and is a little hyper at times, at least he is not a complete blowhard... JMO...

Yeah, when he retired the first time -- several years before he actually retired.

Easily the greatest of all time. I'd love for him to even be a "special guest".

That man has witnessed and been a part of some colossal football games.

Ha Ha ... the game of this next millenium. BAMA BAMA BAMA vs. Notre Dame ... storyline everywhere ... 8 AP National Championships each a FACT ... the princes / kings / gods of football are about to play ...

Bama simply needs to destroy ... nothing much more from here ...

Catholics vs. Cousins ... Golden Domers vs. Mobile Homers ...

You'll be hoping for 1985 Keith Jackson but you'll get 2012 Keith Jackson. And that just won't be good for anybody.

Probably true but sad. Nobody was better than Keith in his prime,and I mean nobody.

Yet college football fans are still forced to watch Mushbergggger. Not much difference in my opinion.

Hands down the best CFB announcer of all time.

I personally like Gus Johnson. That dude gets so wound up that he could make a women's basketball game sound exciting.
