Description

Jack Cristil (1925-2014) was once a Southeastern Conference icon and the Voice of Bulldog athletics for more than five decades. In this biography, Cristil’s remarkable life and career is shared with all Bulldog fans. Authored by Mississippi journalist Sid Salter with a foreword by distinguished Mississippi State University alum John Grisham, the book at the start sold over 10,000 copies and raised over $170,000 for the Jacob S. “Jack” Cristil Scholarship in Journalism at MSU.

With a fifty-eight-year association with MSU, Cristil was once the second one-longest tenured college radio play-by-play announcer in the nation on the time of his 2011 retirement. All over his legendary career as the Voice of the Bulldogs, Cristil referred to as 636 football games since 1953. That’s more or less 60 percent of all of the football games played in school history. He was once in his 54th season as the men’s basketball play-by-play voice, having described the action of almost 55 percent of all of the men’s basketball games. In all, Cristil shared with Bulldog fans across the Magnolia State and world wide more than 1,500 collegiate contests. Central to Cristil’s inspiring story was once his upbringing in Memphis as the son of first-generation Russian-Jewish immigrants. This paperback edition is up to date with new material covering Cristil’s death and memorial service, with additional post-retirement and memorial photos.
