could this old fossil be any more obvious in pulling for southern cal?
 
Similar to Dicky V and Duke, but not as obnoxious. Keith Jackson has a warm, grand daddy voice. Dicky V sounds like an loud mouthed yankee. I do think he's a good guy though.
 
probably right, but biased commentators on national tv converage really irks me
 
He lives in California so he is always biased towards the west coast teams in these type games. Funny thing is that he's from GA..

I may be wrong, but I think Keith Jackson is a UGA grad.

I am wrong.

However, from http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/tdgh-oct/oct28.htm:

1928 Sportscaster Hall of Famer Keith Jackson was born on a dirt road eight miles from Carrollton, Ga. He attended elementary school in a one-classroom building in Tallapoosa, junior high in Tyus, and in 1946 graduated from high school in Roopville, where he played on a championship basketball team. Jackson wanted to attend Georgia Tech, but when he could not qualify, he entered the military for four years. At Washington State University, Jackson began doing the radio broadcast of school football games. After working at an ABC television station in Seattle, he was invited to join ABC Sports in 1968. During his 31 years with ABC, Jackson was a broadcast announcer for about every sport but hockey. But it was college football and Jackson's distinctive voice and announcing style that led some to call him the "national voice of college football." During his career, Jackson, who has been inducted into two sportscaster hall of fames and is the only sports announcer to win the "Sportscaster of the Year" award five years in a row.

With regard to KJ, is it 2 "times-out" or "time-outs" remaining? He kept saying "times-out" and it just sounded wrong.
 
I guess I'm not the only one.

I thought he was going to start crying. LOL.

On another note, after the other guy gushed endlessly about Bush and when he finally compared Bush to Walter Payton my wife said WTTE 'can he get your nose any further up Bush's rear? You'd think he wants to have his baby'.
 
Yes, he loves SoCal, but how about Brad Nessler loving the bulldawgs at the Sugar Bowl. His voice would reach a high pitch when UGAg did something good, but he would almost groan when WVU made plays. I believe he lives in Atlanta.
 
I think you're right about Nessler living in ATL. But didn't he used to broadcast the GT basketball games (after Big Al, and before Wes). I had the impression that he was a pretty big Tech fan at the time.
 
What I thought was funny is how irritated Brad Nessler was early in the Sugar Bowl when they had all of the penalties that stopped the clock. It seems that someone wanted to get home early. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hugelaugh.gif
 
Nessler LOVES GT

He may have seem biased in the Sugah Bowl towards ugag although I didn't notice.

He always works in a GT reference when doing other games, and more often than not in a postive manner.

He is the guy who tabbed AMC "The Thrilladome"...
 
Re: Nessler LOVES GT

I wasn't really seeing any love for GT when we played the mutts. Seems like he loves the mutts much more. He even mentioned how many times that he has called play by play at Tech games that have ended up as losses for Tech. He said that Gailey told him that maybe he shouldn't call any more Tech games. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif That may be one of the few things that CG has been right about. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hugelaugh.gif
 
FYI...not being argumentative, but this just kept nagging at me. This is from ramblinwreck.com: "Game engineer and producer Miller Pope returns for his 11th season. Pope is a veteran of the Tech broadcasts, having engineered games in the 1980s with announcers Al Ciraldo and Brad Nessler."
 
Well, he\'s not going to openly

root against the mutts!!

If we would ever WIN a game against ugag when Nessler was broadcasting, I guarantee you he'd show us the love!

Nessler is a class act -
