Another great listen, Matt. Jack was one of a kind. His daughter, Rebecca, was my High School English teacher & a great one to boot. (Humble brag?)

Bump, for this needs to be heard even if we are currently enjoying the Bears' pain.

I'm 49 years old and have exactly one autograph. I was lucky enough to catch Jack coming out of a hotel in Tuscaloosa just before the State/Bama game in 1996. The Bulldogs were on their run to the final four and my family caught a few games. I jumped out of a still moving car as we pulled up to the curb and got Jack to sign a napkin. I mean no disrespect to anyone and to this day still love listening to State on the radio, but Jack will always be the Voice of the Bulldogs to me.

I keep that napkin in a fireproof safe, but the memory of Jack's voice coming to me over the airwaves every fall for the vast majority of my life, I keep a little closer.

Had a chance to meet quite a few famous folks over the years, but jack stands out. I never was nervous around the famous but the time I met jack I clammed up and couldn't speak. I was fine when I saw him and I'm glad I spoke first but when I heard him speak that was it for me. So glad my wife was there and asked him to sign my cowbell. One of my most prized possessions.
