BTW, a lot of you guys are down on Patrick for doing for on ACC telecasts EXACTLY what Billy Raf and Sean McDonough did for the Big East over the last decade...
That is, get excited for the games and teams that they call.
There's a reason why he rose up the ranks to the ESPN's big ACC games... He loved the teams, cared about the games and called each one enthusiastically.
Sorry he wasn't blowing smoke up Boeheim's a$$ while calling UNC vs. Maryland, but Raf, Sean McD, and Bilas did plenty of that during each Big Monday game - regardless of whether Cuse was playing or not.
