Keith Jackson always loved when the team entered the stadium. One great one was in 1977. #5 Texas A&M at #3 Michigan." When the Wolves come onto the field you will here a roar that will knock pinecones of trees 50 miles away"

My 1st semester at Marquette.  10th floor McCormick.  Sox fans on the north wing.  Yanks on the south.  A great Marquette memory.

Those college football games back in the pre cable pre internet era were always something special. Keith really captured the essence of the sport.
