Ole Miss Football: Grove Grinder, A College Football Broadcast Legend

The college football world said goodbye to a broadcast legend Keith Jackson this past weekend. As an older Ole Miss football fan and a fan of college football it struck me to the core. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s I can remember watching ABC on Saturday afternoons. This is when we only had three channels and ABC carried college football. If the Rebels were on the road then my butt was parked in front of the television.

Of course, Keith Jackson was one of the ABC college football broadcasters which covered the biggest game of the weekend.
