Note: Fouts has good insight into the game, and in my humble opinion is a very good analyst.

Fouts is excellent. Jackson lost his edge years ago. Sorry, I use to like the guy, but listening to him reminds me of watching Willie Mays when he played for the Mets.

As I recall Price had a big game for the Vols.

Yup. Did well playing along with Eric Moulds and got a good pay day from Atlanta.

Pat did some ESPN games(first 5 I believe)last season while Mike Patrick was recovering from heart surgery. The voice is STILL unmatched.

Keith Jackson will be missed!!!!

Jackson was even willing to parody himself in a beer commercial. When two guys bored at a wedding wished for a different environment it was Keith Jackson introducing the wedding party "a 110 pound coed from A-la-bama!"

"He's running like a three-legged mule in a Kentucky horse race."

One of Keith Jackson's observations on an injurred running back that I heard 30 or so years ago. That one always stuck with me for some reason.
