Whoa, Granny!
Turns out that Keith Jackson, the college-football icon who died at 89 on Jan. 12, cut his broadcasting teeth as a farm kid in western Georgia. As Jackson once recalled: "My grandmother said to my mother, 'You'd better go out there and talk to your kid. I think he's crazy 'cause he's running around in the cornfield, talking to himself.'
"And, I was not talking to myself _ I was sending Walter Mitty over the goal line at the Rose Bowl."
