RIP Jack Cristil (voice of MS State Bulldogs)

[cigarfan]

Jack Cristil, voice of the Miss State Bulldogs, has died at 88. I realize many of you might not know who he was

Whether you were a MSU fan or not, this man was a great announcer, with a unique voice. I grew up an Ole Miss fan, but really enjoyed listening to Cristil, and he was very honest.

After one particularly bad game by the MSU Bulldogs, it was time for the "Sonic Drive of the Game."

Cristil said…Sonic drive of the game, well the only drive worth mentioning today is my drive home."

He would be very honest, and give fair credit to the other team when they made good plays or outplayed MSU..(which was often)
