For the past 28 years, Jim Nantz has essentially been the face of CBS Sports. He’s always been a consummate professional and I’m happy that he’s spending more time with his family so he could focus on Golf and the NFL at his age
Same here. He is the goat when it comes to sports broadcasting and to me he’s the equivalent of Tom Brady, taking time off to spend time with his kids.
“GIVES IT TO JENKINS, FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!”
That call will always give me shivers. An all timer. He’s one of the greatest, glad we will still have Jim Nantz on the NFL and Golf.
“VILLANOVA, PHENOMENAL, THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS”
It won’t be same without “Hello Friends”
True but at least we’ll still get to hear him on Sunday afternoons with Tony Romo.
@@Mrcharles.well fans have kind of completely turned on romo in recent years
@@Mrcharles. Tony Romo is God-awful.
@@RobMrSpaghetti Who would you choose? Romo or Troy Aikman?
“Can I tell ya one other thing? Not to try and play off ‘hello friends’- but to you, to everyone in the college game- the CBS family, my family, all the viewers- thank you for being my friend.” 🐐
as a tar heel fan the 2016 was with out a doubt the best and most heartbreaking 7 seconds of basketball ive ever watched
I torture myself by watching that at least once a week. Still.
Maybe the best basketball game I’ve ever seen. It also helped that I picked Villanova in my bracket lol
That shot that by Page was just incredible. Thought for sure we were getting OT.
@@berthenson9946 for me it was easily the all time greatest pure college basketball game
@@zachwhitlow4 up there with game 7 of the 2016 nba finals for me
“Folks you gotta believe because just when people say you can’t, you can. And UConn has won the national championship” Boy was SPITTIN’ 🔥🔥
I keep watching that UConn 99 winning moment, and I live by those words.
Chills everytime!
I will never forget “Oh, it almost went in!”
"Jerome gives it up. Far side, Hunter..." chills every time
Shock and Awe! In college basketball! UMBC MAKES HISTORY!!!
His voice won’t go away, he’s still with us even when he retires. 🐐
I wouldn’t give Nantz the goat icon but he’s definitely up there with Al Michaels and Verne.
Nantz spoke to my sports broadcasting class at UNC last year, before March madness. It was so surreal to talk to him (although it was virtual) and then hear him call one of our biggest games in history a month after that
he lived through pretty much all in the tournament... Even his Houston Cougars in the final four a couple years ago.
Even though the championship wasn't won, Carolina won the rivalry forever. Duke will never have the chance to retire Dean Smith with a win in Chapel Hill and a March Madness battle (as a Carolina fan, I assume you know the result of the final home game for the Dean in 97)
As a Connecticut fan since 95. Thank you Jim, you’ve been a staple every March for my whole adulthood.
Literally has been the voice of march madness since I was a kid. Will definitely miss hearing him in March of every year.
I’ll always remember his voice for March Madness. An absolute legend, hopefully this last tournament is memorable one!
As a UConn alum, the 1999 call will always give me chills.
El Ahmin just told the camera “we shocked the world!” And from that day on UCONN has always had a special place in every UNC fan’s heart ❤️
Same here. Proud Husky fan and UConn alum.
Thank you, Jim. You’ve been a classy broadcaster and a fine person.
“The Huskies once again are in basketball heaven!”
“Gives it Jenkins. for the championship!”
These moments live in my head rent free!
Only if Suggs game winner had fans. Hands down would have been CBBs greatest moment
& This just learned the loss of last night's passing of Billy Packer, R.I.P. to the legendary College Basketball broadcaster.
oof.
Verne Lundquist and Jim Nants and Billy Packer and Gary Danielson, and Dickie V, and Al Michaels, and Joe Buck, and Tim McCarver, Have made my time watching Sports an amazing experience💯❤️🇲🇽🫡
Nice of you to add Joe buck in there, everyone seems to hate that guy.
@@Mrcharles. A lot of people seem to hate Joe but he's not as bad as they say he is.
Still to this day every time I shoot a basketball I scream "Jenkins FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!"
So long, Jim Nantz. We'll never forget you after this March Madness. You were a legend in sports.
Is this his last one ?
@@jacob45415 Yep.
@@JonesDylan874 dang :( at least Kevin Harlan is a rlly good replacement
@@jacob45415 Ian Eagle will take over for Jim beginning next year.
@@Mrcharles. I’m not a big fan of him tbh
thank you for the great memories Jim and God bless
I will always remember the 2016 championship game where Kris Jenkins won the title for Villanova at the buzzer
Many’s is the voice of MM and the Masters, two great events in American sports. Pretty legendary
Jim Nantz is the best. He'll be missed calling games 👍🏾🏀
Well we will miss him calling basketball games but, we’ll still hear him do NFL matchups with Tony Romo Sunday afternoons.
I've grown up hearing his voice for March Madness. His final line for whoever wins the title was always the best part for One Shining Moment. Whoever wins next year's title, savor it, embrace it bc not only will you end up #1, but you're sending a legend out on top
UConn, Miami, FAU and San Diego State
For the final championship call by Jim Nantz
@@otaviofrn_adv And now we get to see San Diego State take on UCONN for the national championship.
@@Mrcharles. I will watch.
Not with the cbs feed though (I'm from Brazil), but march madness is broadcasted here.
I'll see the repercussion of Jim's farewell later
The absolute best. I’ve been fortunate to know him my whole life. Such a great guy!!!
For the UMBC win, he could've said, "16 is SWEET in Round ONE!"
Now thats a clever quote 😂😂
I think Andrew Catalon was inspired by you when he said "FDU believe it" in their win
It's very fortune to hear the voice of Jim Nantz in my life.
So long~
That Lehigh Duke game crazy
The absolute confidence to make a call like 3:04 "This is the point where he always hits it!"
Farewell Jim Nantz's greatest March Madness Calls (1991-2022)
Farewell Jim Nantz's greatest March Madness Calls (1991-2022)
* 2023 (his last season)
I am gonna miss Jim nantz after this years ncca tournament is over
We’ll still get to hear him and Tony Romo do NFL games every Sunday afternoon though.
I watched the Virginia-Texas Tech game at the South Point sports book with about 250 others. That's the most electric atmosphere for a game I've ever witnessed.
Nantz an all time great in football and basketball, golf what else I mean.. pure gold
Thank you for your announcing all these years!
THE VOICE OF BASKETBALL AND BASKETBALL IN MARCH
It's wild how many games involve Duke and Unc.
Regardless of the outcome of this year's tournament, the final game will certainly be bitter sweet. Jim Nantz's contribution to March madness will never be forgotten and sorely missed in the years to come.
Thank you Jim. You are an icon to CBS and the NCAA. Your legacy will never be forgotten!
I have been a big of Jim Nantz for a long time, I hate it is to his last year during the tournament for a long time, he will be missed….
This video has me hyped for March madness already
The final piece to the puzzle won’t be the same
The great Jim Nantz is GOLD! Always a professional, a great broadcaster and he has a lot of fans in the great city of Buffalo and ALL of WNY.
I LOVE JIM NANTZ SOOO MUCH
I started following college basketball in the mid-1980s and Nantz has always been a voice of it; first as the host and then the announcer. But it's time. For the better part of the past 20 years he has only done a game or two the entire regular season and swooped in at the very end for March Madness. He's done great work for 32 years but I absolutely agree with allowing an announcer like Eagle, who calls college hoops games for CBS all season, to become their main voice of the sport. Eagle has more than earned the opportunity.
I think he had no regular season assignmets between Kentucky-Carolina in 2011 and Memphis vs Houston last season. Only the Big 10 tournament and March Madness.
I understand, he calls pretty much everything on CBS.
But I also would love to see Ian Eagle calling the final four
I think that's mostly because he has to do so much work from September through January each week to prepare for the NFL games he calls.
@@otaviofrn_adv He did a few games in between but they were always the last Sunday of the regular season, just like last weekend when he did Memphis-Houston again. I know he did Indiana-Michigan one year and Purdue/Northwestern in another.
Just like Marv Albert for TNT, Nantz will step down from his basketball duties at CBS.
Jim Nantz one of the greatest announcers ever....still to this day...he makes the game incredible to watch...football and basketball
He’s definitely up there with Al Michaels.
@@Mrcharles. his broadcast partner BILL RAFFTERY needs to be in the hall of fame already #onions #withakiss
MSU is going to Minneapolis from the elite eight against Duke still gives me chills
Classic ❤
Don't retire Jim. You three are March Madness Magic!
He’s not retiring, he’s just stepping back as we will get to hear him with Tony Romo Sunday afternoons.
So who will take over for him in the next tournament?
@@martinmendoza1492Ian Eagle will be the lead PxP man.
This is kind of a thing Jim would say in a telecast that I'm going to say "Beginning in 1991 when Duke beat Kansas to 2022 when Kansas won the Championship it's been a pleasure watching and listening to you and we will miss you in March 🏀😀
Then tossed back to Greg for One Shining Moment whatever moment comes in Houston a month from now.
My dad went to Lehigh, he was so happy when that game against Duke happened
College Basketball, College Football,
Golf and Football
Jim Nantz - The Face Of CBS Sports
Marv Albert, Mike Breen, and Jim Nantz.
We will still get to hear him on the 18th Tower and Butler Cabin at Augusta plus various PGA Tour events and The Booth for SBXLVIII with Tony Romo
Jim is the GOAT
Jim nance is the GOAT. Will miss him this year in the nCAA tourney
The buzzer beaters are the best!
That '99 UConn call 🤙🏽
March Madness is so great they didn't even show my team and I'm in tears! GO CUSE!!!
As a bc fan, I think after we made history after a uva upset. WE WILL MAKE MARCH MADNESS 2024! FIRST IN 15 YEARS
Never will be the same
College basketball is special. The NCAA Tournament is 10x more entertaining and emotionally engaging, even when your favorite team isn't playing, than the NBA.
There were way too many great ones left out
Gives it to Jenkins. For the Championship. OOOOO Villanova! Phenomenal!! The National Champions!
as a duke fan i'd like to say i will really miss jim nantz, won't be the same without him.
He’s arguably the greatest to ever do it.
🐐
That Arkansas team was so good
Big Facts!!!
Absolutely
His final NCAA Tournament game is tomorrow
I remember when Musburger did his last NCAA title game for CBS, after he voiced the dramatic tournament matchups of the 1980s. Who could have expected then that the games, the moments, the drama would get exponentially better when Nantz took over.
true... the bad thing about Musburguer is that he was kicked out of CBS, and couldn't go on his own terms. Nantz had that chance.
What I really love about college hoops overall is that there is a balance that seems to be bigger than in other sports. Any day can be a day for upsets.
There are many smaller teams that we don't follow all that well during the regular season that have their shining moment when March comes. I mean, look at that Lehigh that defeated Duke, they had CJ McCollum. A lot of hidden talent
Man this is my goal in life is to put on that blazer and follow the footsteps of jim nantz
MAJOR ONIONSSSS
I have to put this out there. If Hayward made that shot for the chip against Duke , would that have been the best shot of all time? I think so
Yes
Fate played a prank on Butler fans.
6:00 I called that moment college basketball player coming through
He still call the shots for NFL and Golf as well
I'll miss his calls
Same but we’ll still hear him Sunday afternoons with Tony Romo.
The Arizona 1997 run needs to be on here. Nantz called the wins over Kansas, UNC and Kentucky. The greatest NCAA Tournament run ever.
“There are onions, Jim, and then there are major onions!”
Wow. I really wasn't paying attention to college sports last year. I had no idea Kansas won the title.
Terrific ending!
Jim Nantz amazing announcer
2008 and 2022 rock chalk championship
That’s right! I love Jim Nantz.
March Madness 🏀
VILLANOVA! PHENOMENAL!
"THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! WITH JENKINS HITTING THE WINNER AT THE BUZZER!"
really missing Jim this year. Harlan and Eagle are carrying rn
2015 vs Wisconsin was the most painful game of my entire life
To me it was the 2013 game vs Louisville.
They should remake this after the 2023 tournament because of the fau vs sdsu game
Where’s UNC’s redemption championship call in 2017 ?
Thank you Jim Nantz for all the memories of this tournament. And his final national championship will be on CBS. What a way to end this. Ian will have big shoes to fill
all true
But I think Ian can keep the same level, he is been great for a long time and deserves his shot as a lead broadcaster nationally for any of the events he calls
@@otaviofrn_adv If Kevin Harlan can take over for Marv Albert on TNT then I don’t see why Ian can do the same for CBS.
As a Carolina fan I can't watch the Villanova game or the Kansas game. Makes me sad
He will be missed
4:46 Jenkins Is The 🦸🏻♂️🦸🏼♂️🦸🏽♂️🦸🏾♂️🦸🏿♂️
RIP Billy Packer
That Butler shot... if he had put it one inch lower on the glass...
You know Jim has done this for a long time when he called the first championship for Duke and UConn
"Better than most"
Monday will be Jim's last National Championship he will be calling, but he will continue to do CBS' NFL and Golf Coverages
I sure hope that Horse Racing’s Triple Crown can come back to CBS Sports… it would be awesome If Sean McManus can get something his Father loved so dearly
Can’t wait for March! All the blue bloods get the best called games. Will miss Jim but Ian eagle is legit
If i was cbs sports, i would pay top dollar to get gus johnson back
