Just one man's humble homage to who, for me, will always be the voice of the Mountaineers. Miss ya' Jack!

I can remember many autumn Saturday afternoons in the early 1960's, squirrel hunting with my dad and brother. We always listened to WVU football games while we were driving from place to place. We always stopped in a little country store at Mill Point West Virginia and got a bottle of pop and a candy bar. Through teary eyes I write this. Thanks for putting it together. Good job. Is one picture about mid way Richwood? Thats my home town.

Thanks, indeed it is Richwood. I listened to most games on WVAR so I had to throw a pic of Richwood in there. I'm from Summersville...hopefully, you won't hold that against me. ;-)

If that doesn't give you chills, you aren't a Mountaineer. I think they should use this video on the big screen at all home game this coming year. Thank you so much for making this.

Jack was the best there ever was. Bar none. Watched this more than a dozen times, and every time the tears stream down my Mountaineer cheeks! God bless Jack Fleming.

DEFINITELY CHILLS! Thanks for making this! Let's Go-ohhhhh Mountaineers!!

[dcbandnerd]

Not even a Mountaineer fan, but this gives me chills. What a voice.

I cannot watch this enough! I cry EVERY time that I watch this. Man what memories! He was THE best. Period!

I actually called MSN about a year ago and inquired if there was any way they could release material that they had of games that Jack Fleming announced and of course they won't because of copyrights, so they just lie there collecting mold and dust and us fans just heve to reminesce about the old days. It's a shame because I know I;m not the only one who would LOVE to hear a game just as it was when Jack Fleming announced it! Is there anyone with more clout than I who can Help? PLEASE!!!

[don62snodgrass]

NO offense to Tony Caridi because he's a good announcer in his own right and Jack Fleming was his hero, BUT there is and was NO better play by play man than Jack Fleming! He could make a meaningless season ending game during the Mountaineers losing years sound as if they were playing for the national championship! I can still hear him during those great games like Florida 1981, Oklahome 1982, pitt 1975, and of course Penn State 1988. He was the greatest! Man I miss Jack Fleming!
