Can't believe he won't be at the Master's...."In your life have you ever seen anything like that." My all time favorite ....thanks Vern.
Prob top 10 all time. Wonder when Michaels will be forced out. They have Tirico doing more SNF
My favorite Lundquist call. Didn't see it at the time, since I was at the Spectrum. 
Was there as well...pretty cool. Almost as good as my man Kris Jenkins this past April...My favorite Lundquist call. Didn't see it at the time, since I was at the Spectrum.
He'll be working the 2017 NCAA tourney and will be on the 16th hole in the 2017 Masters. Sounds like semi-retirement for now. Agree that he was tremendous calling college football.

Correct... believe football is the only thing he is scaling back. Other sports he will still be involved especially with golf
My favorite Verne call is, "Yes sirrrr!" after Jack sank the putt.
Don't think that them pushing Michaels out at all. They are Tirico doing some Sunday night now because Collinsworth/Michaels team is doing both Thursday and Sunday nights, so they aren't making him do both.
Agree. Old Verne was last of the "old school" for college football. Will be missed. The new generation of play-by-play guys are simply a bunch of clone talking hair-dos. They have the trumped up wind pipes, and they are all the same. The guys like Vin Scully, Keith Jackson, Dick Enberg, Pat Summeral and Verne Lundquist had personality.
He did say that he was still going to be in the 16th tower at the Masters. He retired from doing college football games. "YES SIR!"
Other than his sickening Dallas Cowboys bias, he's a fine play by play guy. I recall him doing important Eagles-Cowboys games and he could hardly contain his enthusiasm when the Cowboys did well in the course of the game.
Vern goes all the way back to Cowboys/Steelers Super Bowl and his call on Jackie Smith's drop in the end zone..."He has to be the sickest man in America"
My other favorite was Tiger's roll in chip shot at the Masters..."In your Life!"
Congrats on a fabulous career!

Right before Jack makes that putt, as the ball is on its way to going in, "Maybe....yes sir!"

Interesting fact I did not know about him(assuming wikipedia page is correct)... he lives in Steamboat Springs. Doesn't quite have the body of a serious outdoor type. Must enjoy that scenery and ski town feel. Just assumed he lived in the southeast somewhere. He looked more the country club and golf type.
