PrintFor those watching the BTN right now, they're playing another in their series of their "Greatest Games" featuring OSU and Michigan. This one's from November 23, 1974. I tuned in mid-game to hear a familiar voice calling the game alongside Keith Jackson. It sounded incredibly like Joe Paterno, and it is. Wikipedia confirms it. Apparently, Woody Hayes joined Jackson for the 1974 ND-USC matchup.
Maybe this isn't news to anyone but me, but I thought it was a pretty cool and unexpected gem to come across on a Friday afternoon.

This is surprising
I notice the wikipede link indicates ‘citation needed’. Think it could’ve been his brother George, who sounded very similar and called a lot of games himself?

I actually
watched that game yesterday and yes it was Joe. Keith refered to him as Joe and mentioned how he would coach a big game against Pitt the next week.
