Matt Park

[Dinkyspond]

I think Matt and Adam do an excellent job on the radio. I synch their broadcast to the TV for every game. Their inside knowledge and insight from being close to the program can't be matched by the TV guys who come and go week by week. Matt and Adam are well-prepared, do their homework and know all things Orange inside and out.

I had to listen to the second half on the radio and I was sorely disappointed with Park. I know he bleeds Orange and I want him to do well but:
1.) down and distance is not something he seems to realize is important to the listener
2.) he doesn't seem to care about updating the listeners regarding how much time is left in the game, which was especially maddening when we were trying to upset Clemson on the road
3.) he inexplicably seems determined to tell you where opposing players are from instead of telling you what is happening on the field
4.) listen to his call on the Collins td pass, there was no way a listener would know whether JRS caught the ball or not
5.) late in the game Clemson had a big catch and run and it was not until the next play when he decided to mention they were goal to go, the listener had no idea a big play had just been made of 20-30 yards
I never want someone to lose their job but I'm incredulous that we can't/refuse to find a better announcer given Newhouse is such a dominant part of the university.

I listened to the game and don't remember any of your 5 points to be

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but I listened to the whole game and disagree with you on all 5 points.

But you said you're watching on TV while listening, it's a little different to just listening to the game on the radio

Might be fine synched with the TV. Listening to him without a TV is the problem people are pointing out.

I was rushing home after golf and listening and the first TD he was just saying wow and I had no idea if it was a catch or that it was even in the end zone

I don't know how anyone can say "Park isn't good" and also "Doug Logan was great."

If you liked unintelligible screaming, Logan was your guy!

 

[JRHEETER]

where is JeremyCuse when you need him. I'll never forget the night we were having a conversation with Matt Park and Jeremy told him straight to his face how awful he is on calls, specifically in bball

Would you prefer Tim Leonard take over the duties from Matt Park?

I listen alot too just on the radio and I don’t have a problem with him. I listen alot to radio pbp on many sports and I find him no better or worse than most pbp broadcasters. IMHO.

I am basing my opinion solely on the last quarter of the Clemson game so could be wrong.

That right there sums up my issue when I'm stuck in the car during a game.

Sometimes he's cheering like a fan, but doesn't actually say what happened. And I'll be, of course, screaming what just happened as I'm trying to drive.

It's not always, but definitely notice it from time to time.

But was better than the Clemson broadcast which kept referring to our QB as Steve ANJ-eli instead of Steve An-JELL-ee.
