"So from Osawatomie to Ottawa, from Leawood to Liberty – this may be a day the Kansas State faithful never forget"
The Keith Jackson opening, and closing, to this game will forever be burned in my memory, simply amazing.I still have my VHS recording of this game and a VCR to watch it on.
"And good night..from the happiest place on earth......Manhattan Kansas" Keith Jackson was the absolute best.
Benji, look, there’s no doubt Keith was an all-timer, but if we want to just be objective, he had a pretty sloppy call that day. Called us the Jayhawks not once but twice, got confused on the play call several times, mixed up a metaphor or two, and didn’t give us even one of his signature Whoa Nelly!’s
I will say for the pre-determined lines, like the Osawatamie to Ottawa one, he absolutely stuck the landing, no notes.
