Hell of an idea and it would ROCK.
Since I'm in my mid 50's, I realize there are younger folks here that only have memories of Jack towards the end when his age and health were getting the better of him. Let me tell you younger fans, there was NOBODY that came close to this guy behind the mic come game day. Not only did he patton those classic one liners like Gtown mentions above, his prior to the snap comments were uncanny. It took a very sharp mind to do what he did creating a visual for the listener. You literally knew where all 22 players were lined up before the play.
And even when we were getting our asses kicked, he could make you laugh. I don't think any radio guy ever enjoyed his job more than Jack did. You could tell by listening to him it was more than just a job. The first game I remember listening to was our egg bowl victory while Archie sat on the sidelines in a cast. think I was 6. Wish I had a nickel for every hour I sat by the radio listening to him.
