Gregg Harper (R-Miss) today released the following statement on news of the passing of the beloved former sports broadcaster of six decades of Mississippi State University athletics and who was known throughout the South as "the Voice of the Bulldogs," Jacob Sanford “Jack” Cristil: “For 58 years, Cristil had been at the microphone broadcasting across the radio airwaves for Mississippi State football and basketball games. As an Honorary Bulldog I know that I speak on behalf of all the Bulldog Family at Mississippi State University in expressing our sincere gratitude for Cristil’s leadership, his dedication, and steadfast confidence at MSU.” Cristil was known for his commitment to journalistic professionalism in his broadcasts as well as his unique trademark expressions such as, "You can wrap this game in maroon and white!'' “Jack Cristil will remain an icon for all who love the Maroon and White. To say thank you to Jack Cristil seems woefully inadequate, but I do take comfort in knowing that his legacy will live on through those of us he influenced. May Jack Cristil always be remembered for the excellence he inspired in all of us.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
