I'm pretty one-dimensional when it comes to sports these days, not much in to college anything, but you're right about Jackson and Lundquist. I always enjoyed hearing Jackson in particular because you could tell he loved what he was doing and had a passion for it.

I remember Marty; mainly for his spot on the Hollywood Squares whenever I was home sick from school.

So sorry to hear that ... I was watching an episode of M*A*S*H yesterday that featured him. I watched a (PBS or Smithsonian, I forget which) documentary a couple weeks ago, and at the end I was surprised to see he was the narrator. His voice when he wasn't playing Winchester was completely different. Rest his soul.
