The alumni association will also honor Jack Cristil during the banquet ceremonies for his nearly 60 years of service as our play-by-play radio announcer for football and men’s basketball.

Anyone?

In St. Louis there is a Jack Buck bust and you can go up and here some of his most famous calls with the press of a button. Might be a cool deal for our Jack.

I haven't gone in years but when it first opened - you could do voice over of great calls in MS history. They had State's final four and 1980 Bama I think. You could listen to Jack's call, then record yourself, and play it back.

Is anyone else thinking like I am that we may be getting close?

"Anthony Dixon had 6 yards on the ground, and all other offensive stats for Mississippi State were 0 or close to it."

....it helped toward the end that where we were sitting, I could look up and see Jack in his heavy overcoat standing in the press box conveying a look of general disgust.

The coach's show, filmed shortly after the game, was pretty incredible too. Jack was Jack, and Croom was staring off into space with that look only he could do.
