Mythical

[edit]

Yes, "mythical" would qualify as an opinion, but one can also opine that any "championship" which is largely the result of voting and polls is some what less of a championship than one won on the field, as are championships in other sports, although I would suppose that this BCS could be an instance of an arguable improvement over the previous almost entirely mythical system.

Whoa, Nellie

[edit]

Keith actually didn't start using "Whoa, Nellie!" until after Roy Firestone started coining it in comedy routines impersonating him. That's also where "Fum-BLLLLLLLLLLLE!" really got going. "Whoa, Nellie!" actually was a phrase pioneered by a TV broadcaster in L.A. named Dick Lane who used to call professional wrestling on KTLA back in the '50s or '60s. Jackson once scolded his color man (I believe it was Dick Vitale) on the air once over the Firestone-"Whoa, Nellie!" thing before finally adopting it in the '80s or '90s. Also, I note on the list the Cal-Stanford game of '82. Keith did not call that game. In fact, that game was not telecast live anywhere. It was packaged by Golden Gate Productions (maybe Golden Gator Productions) for telecast on KPIX TV the following day and was called on TV by Pete Liebengood.

Keith Jackson, the article returns

[edit]

I have returned this article's dignity. The only one that's a bit problematic is the 1974 USC-ND game. I've heard the game on ESPN Classic and they are both on it, problem is I can't find it corroborated on the internet. Anyone able to find something I can't? --Bobak 03:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't read it all super-closely, but I think the article reads very nicely now. Great job! Jbening 02:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Evel/Wembley "Oh My God"

[edit]

I know that there is an ABC/ESPN article properly referenced, but I'm 100% sure the article is wrong. Frank Gifford actually said "Oh My God". This is also on Gifford's Wiki entry. Wanting somebody to back me up though, before it is changed please... thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.25.155.15 (talk) 22:40, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its certainly possible, if anyone can find a competing cite please let us know --Bobak 00:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
