R.I.P. Mr. Cristil

[mparkerfd20]

Sad sad day for Bulldogs everywhere. Mr. Cristil is finally resting in the land of milk and honey.

[CadaverDawg]

Wrap him in Maroon and White. What a sad sad day. You will be missed, Mr. Cristil

[State82]

Well put. Greatest Bulldog ever.

[MarketingBully01]

Wow, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. We lost a legend today. Very sad.

[ShotgunDawg]

Team should wear a patch that says "Jack" for the remainder of the season.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Damn

Definitely

[Pollodawg]

We have to honor him in some way.

[CadaverDawg]

Maybe we could do something similar to when we had people create the EliteDawgs logo, but instead submit ideas for a banner of something memorializing Jack at the top of the page. Best one gets placed up there until the end of the season, or longer. Just a thought

[DawgPoundRock]

My Thoughts and Prayers are with the Cristil Family. RIP Jack. The best to ever do it #WrapItInMaroonAndWhite

[Bully Dee Williams]

I feel like I just lost a family member. My best childhood memories were listening to Mr. Cristil on the radio. That man suffered through so much terrible football with us, but he always had complete zeal for the Dawgs. There was and never will be a finer representative of our university than Jack Cristil.

My thoughts, prayers, and love to his family.

There are plans for a public memorial service to be held on campus in the near future.

[FlabLoser]

That brick I posted is on the northeast corner section of bricks if anybody wants to see it or leave something there.

[Dawg61]

Love you Jack, you will be missed. Rest In Peace Mr. Cristil you are one of the greatest Bulldogs and Mississippians ever. We need a Jack statue out front of DWS.

[CJDAWG85]

Very sad day for the Bulldog Family. RIP Jack

[Bothrops]

Jack was one of a kind, and needs to be revered in celebrity style. Jack Cristil is MSU's Elite Dawg, and I hope to see something really special done in honor of him.

[Todd4State]

My prayers go out to the Cristal family.

I have so many memories of listening to Jack in my room as a teenager during football games. Now we have every game on TV, but he was able to paint the picture of the game with just his words.

One of my personal favorites was during the 1993 Egg Bowl. Todd Jordan threw a flea flicker to Eric Moulds for a 50 yard TD.

[mstatefan91]

Rest in peace Jack Cristil. I grew up listening to him. MSU sports and Jack Cristil are synonymous in my mind.

[TheRef]

Suddenly, that game on Saturday doesn't seem nearly as important anymore. God Bless you Jack Cristil. May the pearly gates be wrapped in maroon and white forever.

[Westdawg]

There are truly no words to express this loss. My prayers to the Cristil family. I know Jack is now wrapped in the arms of Jesus.
Thank you, Jack. We are all better people and Bulldogs for having had you in our lives.

Mr. Cristil is a MSU legend and was a great ambassador for MSU. Nobody will ever have the unique method of broadcasting that he had. I also grew up listening to Mr. Cristil on the radio. Nobody could make you feel like you were at a MSU game, if you couldn't attend, than he could. I remember the "You can wrap this one up in Maroon and White" and how happy he was. when he could say that, as well as us hearing those words. Prayers go out to to his family during this sad time, and may the Lord be with them and comfort them in their time of need.

[JDog13]

sad to hear. His voice was the one I'd listen for when searching my radio for games. Thanks for the memories Jack.

[War Machine Dawg]

Team should wear a patch that says "Jack" for the remainder of the season.

Amen. Get on it, Stricklin!

[ScottH]

Team should wear a patch that says "Jack" for the remainder of the season.

Great idea.

Wonder if the SEC or NCAA would deny the request?

Among many fond memories, the memory that makes me smile the most is the "Sonic Drive of the Game will be my drive home to Tupelo today."

[bluelightstar]

Very cool seeing our former student athletes posting about Jack too. Already have seen Riley Benock and Ravern Johnson make posts.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Yeah. Wrap it in Maroon and White.

Not crazy about the patch idea because he predates our current players, but I have no doubt that the university will honor him well. I wouldn't be against a statue, but that's just me, the art lover.

I love Jack. What a treat his broadcasts were. That alone makes me thankful to be a Bulldog. I'd hate to have missed it.

[LC Dawg]

Love you Jack, you will be missed. Rest In Peace Mr. Cristil you are one of the greatest Bulldogs and Mississippians ever. We need a Jack statue out front of DWS.

There definitely needs to be a statue or something permanent. Jack never needs to be forgotten.

[Gen. Grant]

There definitely needs to be a statue or something permanent. Jack never needs to be forgotten.

Making him our first statue at the stadium or junction would be very nice and appropriate. He has earned his place as one of the greatest Mississippians and bulldogs ever. Make it happen MSU.

[TheRef]

For those of you in the Starkville area, or next time you come visit campus, his brick is located in Section I-2 of Mississippi Plaza. It is the most Northeastern brick in that section.

[War Machine Dawg]

Making him our first statue at the stadium or junction would be very nice and appropriate. He has earned his place as one of the greatest Mississippians and bulldogs ever. Make it happen MSU.

Couldn't agree more. Jack needs a statue. And something named after him. Make it so.

[starkvegasdawg]

Great idea.

Wonder if the SEC or NCAA would deny the request?"

Screw them if they did. He deserves it.

[Political Hack]

He's left an untouchable legacy. He'll forever be the voice of MSU.

[SheltonChoked]

It has to be him sitting with a headset, cigarette in hand. Half full double old fashioned glass on the table. And the cigarette should be always smoking.

[godlluB]

I know Jack is now wrapped in the arms of Jesus.

#WrapItInMaroon&White

He probably hopes not. (Jack was not only a Jew, but a lay Rabbi)

[Dawgface]

Damn. I did not see this last night. This truly brings a tear to my eyes.

God bless you Jack.

[shannondawg]

I don't listen to games on radio as they are all on tv now, but during the Southern game when we got dumped, I turned the radio on to the game, and it came home to me, just how much I missed Jack. He was an artist with words, could paint a perfect picture of a game. God Bless you Mr Jack!

[TXDawg]

Great idea.

Wonder if the SEC or NCAA would deny the request?



I say take the 15-yard penalty if we have to.

[BrunswickDawg]

Being from GA, I never got to really hear Jack in his prime. When at school in the 90s, I only really heard the post game show, and didn't really start to appreciate Jack until internet radio became my primary source of games. I grew up on a steady dose of Larry Munson (GA) and "Hunker Down one more time", Al Ciraldo (GA Tech) and "toe touches leather.... good", and the Braves holy trinity (Skip, Pete, and Ernie). There is nothing more reassuring than a familiar voice describing the action on the field. The one thing all of these greats had in common is their unabashed love of the game, love of the team, love of the fans, and the ability to let you know the mood of the game with just a tone or a phrase. Jack was the last great voice of southern sports and will truly be missed.

[Boston]

R.I.P. Jack.

[Maroonthirteen]

I wasn't physical there in 1980 for 6-3. But I certainly was in mind because of Jack. I will always remember where I was when he shouted "Bulldos recover! Bulldogs recover!" I spent many Saturdays after that hanging on his every word. Basketball nights too. He called a great in the early 80s when we upset Kentucky at home.

He was one of the best! Thank you Jack!

[Bucky Dog]

How about at minimum painting his name on the field with a microphone this year? I'm all for renaming Scott Field to Scott-Cristil Field!!

[Dawg496]

I've always liked the sound of Jack Cristil Court at Humphrey Coliseum.

[Todd4State]

One cool thing that the Cardinals have done for Jack Buck is they have a statue that also plays some Buck's famous calls.

It would be really cool if we could do something like that and put it at Davis-Wade Stadium.

[fishwater99]

RIP Jack...

You will be missed....

[Saltydog]

sat and listened to Jack over the years, especially when I was a youth and continued to do so up until the last few years when virtually all games began to be televised. I am truly saddened.

[TheRef]

You know what would be a cool tribute? If at the next home game, no one set up TVs...only radios. And everyone didn't watch the game, just listened if you couldn't go in the stadium.

[Hunkaburningdawg]

I'd like to see a statue of Jack at the entrance to the stadium. There is no one more deserving.

[CadaverDawg]

You know what would be a cool tribute? If at the next home game, no one set up TVs...only radios. And everyone didn't watch the game, just listened if you couldn't go in the stadium.

If Jack was calling it, I would. But not with Jim.
