Question: Favorite "Keith Jackson" broadcast quote from a Bama game.

[BigBama76]

What is Coach Bryant saying at the 5:17 mark on the video.

When Patti Rawlinson was cheerleading I think one or more of the cameramen had a crush on her cause she kept showing up during every break in the game. Keith Jackson made a remark about the camera spending a little too much time on a cheerleader.

He said OPP?!?? Wow! He does know a lot!

Nobody said, "Touchdowwwn Alllaaabama" like Mr. Jackson! I think "Whoa Nellie" went without saying.

I think that Keith Jackson is one of the very few media personalities that no one dislikes.

"Whoa Nellie!" - Yankee here, and absolutely loved KJ! Man, I wish he was still doing Bama games!

One that tickled my funny bone was in the 78 Nebraska game. A Bama player (I forget who) had torn his jersey and because of a new rule that year had to come out of the game to get a new one. KJ noted that CPB used to plan for such things "by sticking extra jerseys in the offensive linemens' britches." He had a way with words!

"Well these offensive linemen for the Hurricanes are not used to be treated this way."
