Jason Jackson on BCSN!

I watched some of the replay on BCSN this morning of the BG game last night. Did any notice Jason Jackson (former BG alum) was doing commentary for the game on BCSN. This guy was an ESPNews or Sportscenter anchor, and also hosted the NBA2Night show for a few years on ESPN. He did awesome I thought. I'm wondering how he landed at BCSN at all places from ESPN. I think that's awesome though he came back to BG from ESPN!!!!!

there's another thread about that here somewhere, it doesn't sound like he had much of a choice in leaving ESPN, and his wife just took a high profile job at the University, so he's back in town, I guess.

As a wise man once said, thank you for having cable.

I used to have a blast with Jason in Athletic Band!! The "official" accounts I read upon his leaving ESPN said something about using company email for personal reasons (you can read into that whatever you'd like).

In any event, he's a TRUE talent on the air and I'm happy to have him aboard in any way, shape or form!
