The Mississippi State University Bulldog family gathered in Humphrey Coliseum on Thursday [Sept. 11] to celebrate the life and play-by-play radio calls of Jack Cristil. For 58 years, from 1953 until 2011, Cristil was on the mic for the Mississippi State Radio Network’s broadcast of football and basketball games. Administrators, athletes, family and friends shared memories of Cristil’s six decades on the radio. Read what they said here, and for more photos from the memorial, click here.
