it is keith jackson who, AFTER the 2002 season, said that he thought the 2 best teams in the country that year were USC and Oklahoma.
some classic keith moments from the fiesta:
on that now famous 3rd down play where gamble got held, then caught the ball near the sidelines (but it was ruled incomplete), with the next play being the big parrish punt return:
"Oh it was almost intercepted!!! (He looks at the replay) But...not...quite."
Keith: "When was the last time you saw a team where one of the fullbacks was named Branden Joe and the other was named Brandon Schnittker?"
Dan: "Uhh...never."
"Craig Trenzle....i mean...Krenzel."
Dan Fouts
"Krenzel has three completions. One for each quarter."
"The fourth quarter is Dorsey Time."
Last year during a game (i forget who was announcing, it wasn't keith or brent though) there was a brief moment of silence. Then out of nowhere the announcer says, "Molecular genetics."
During last year's michigan-oregon game, michigan was on its final drive. navarre's 4th down pass falls incomplete, oregon starts celebrating wildly, and michigan trudges off the field.
Keith: "And now it is 4th down."
(pause)
Dan: "Uhh, it's over, Keith."
Keith: "So it is."
Brent Musburger screams college football, ESPECIALLY Big Ten football on a cold, windy November day. Watching him, you can feel how excited he is, and you know that he'd rather be right there than at any other place in the world. When you hear his voice, you know it is going to be a great game. The funny thing is, whenever I hear him do a miami-florida state game the excitement just is not there. He is a Big Ten guy through and through, balls to bones. He is the Voice of the Buckeyes. I bought a highlight video of the 2002 season. IT SUCKED. For all the highlights, instead of having the TV announcers, it had the radio guys play-by-play as the voiceover. And whoever does the radio broadcasts for the buckeyes is physically uncapable of capturing the excitement.
If I am watching an OHio State football game, only Brent Musburger will do. Nobody else can measure up. He is King. He was MAGNIFICENT during the 2002 season, especially in the purdue, illinois, and michigan games, all of which I am thankful to own on tape. Can you imagine if he had done the Fiesta? He'd have creamed his pants!!! Instead we get to heir keith drone "The Buckeyes win. (there is a pause as dan nudges him awake) They are 14-0."
