Brent Musburger has called his final college football game, as the legendary broadcaster just announced his plans to retire at the end of the month.

Currently serving as the lead broadcaster for the SEC Network, Musburger has called many of the game’s best moments since the late 90’s for ABC/ESPN.

Watching back some of these clips sure gave me chills.
