Anybody know if there is a Keith Jackson Drinking Game?

If not, we have plenty of time to make one! :)

I say one shot for a "Nellie", two shots for a "Hoooooooooooooold everything", and one shot for every minute before 0:00 of the 4th quarter that Jackson calls the game "over".

I remember being 7-8 years old and watching him call Pac-8 games back in the 60s.

A great broadcaster who will undoubtedly die while calling a game...

[Philistone]

Be a good game, I think. I give the edge to experience (who better to handle media pressure than the guys who live it 5 miles from Hollywood every day?)

I'll quickly jump on the Longhorn bandwagon.

USC hasn't played anyone outside of a decent Notre Dame team. Notre Dame deserves great credit for their season, but don't have serious speed yet.

How does USC expect to shut down Texas given the yards they have allowed and Texas' proficient running and passing games. Texas can probably slow USC down with its solid, quick defense, while USC may have trouble doing the same. Also, Texas does not turn the ball over a lot. Young has grown up this year.

I love my buckeyes, but I'll be rooting for Texas in this one.

Good...that is TWO of us...LOL

[Loud Mime]

ABC's LIVE pre-game coverage of Super Bowl XL starts immediately following the Rose Bowl game.

groan....

[quantim]

Okay, I'll be the first---GO TEXAS!

I'll be second---GO TEXAS!

Good thing academics don't count, otherwise it would be a Longhorn/Wolverine match up!

[Cyclopean Squid]

On to Conquest, Trojans. UT has a massive inferiority complex, and for good reason. Great team, no doubt, but outclassed.

[stboz]

Hook 'em, Horns!

Any team that had John McKay as a coach must have problems, anyway! (Just ask the Buccaneers!)

[Txsleuth]

If Texas wins tomorrow night...I will donate an extra $50 to the Freepathon...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Reggie Bush carries the ball in the wrong arm a lot. I predict at least one perhaps two fumbles in critical sitations as the Longhorns D is fast enough to get to him and are always looking for the strip.

Cool Karl.

Of course in my opinion, it's only a great Rose Bowl if is playing.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Did you just have an overwhelming, burning desire to post a thread? ;-)

[scrabblehack]

You need one also for "FUMBLE!!!"

[texas01]

In your dreams, Texas took care of Ohio State earlier this year, so Dream On

HOOK'EM HORNS

Keith's an undisputed national treasure.

He well-deserves a drinking game!
