Best ever.  The last time I saw him was when he did the coin toss at the Rose Bowl for the Texas game.

"He never intruded on the game. It was always about the kids on the field. Never, never shining the light on himself. And that was one of the things that I most admired about him."

This is the primary difference I see between him and a lot of the idiots they have on TV now.

Exactly SC.  Kieth knew how to add to game coverage without getting in the way of the game itself.  Too many announcers these days think they get paid by the word!

I kept trying to find the date on that. I thought he had died earlier. Oh well, its good to bring up the accolades again.
