Announcing my retirement – though not from blogging, for whatever would you do then?

Tonight I announce my retirement from annoyingly commenting about Keith Jackson's 1999 non-retirement. Upon noticing that Jackson and Dan Fouts were broadcasting another college football game on ABC, I would customarily remark to everyone within earshot: "Remember a few years ago when Keith Jackson announced his retirement with all this fanfare and then the very next year he was back calling games on ABC?" You could set a clock by these outbursts.

But now it's time for me to move on. It's time.

Seriously, I love listening to Keith Jackson and will miss him. For some reason, I have particularly fond memories of one FSU-Miami game in the early 1990s. Since Casey Weldon was the FSU quarterback (why I remember this is unclear), Google shows me it was 1991. Of more general interest, in the course of tracking down Casey Weldon's playing years, I found this unlikely information about Charlie Ward (emphasis mine):

"The most decorated player in the history of college football, Charlie Ward won literally every award he was eligible for as a senior signal caller."

I wonder if this is an accepted fact. A second check of Google suggests that Ward at least has a monopoly on the phrase "most decorated player in the history of college football." Eat your heart out, Tom Brady.
