Matt Park

I was on a road trip during the UConn game. I could follow the game better with the UConn pbp guy but couldn't take their homerism. I do really like Terry though.

I like Matt Park. His commentary style might leave out some specifics but as someone who drives for work a lot and listens to a lot of sports radio I don't think that's unusual.

I guess it depends on how and why you're listening. If you're expecting the radio to make up for not being in front of a TV that's a hard bargain, I don't know that Matt even tries to do that. if you're expecting to be entertained and kept up to speed at a high level while otherwise occupied with something, he delivers.

There's also something of a learning curve to it. Kind of...building out a situational awareness for what's going on in your head, and taking queues from the crowds and whistles and such. The work thing has been going on about a decade and I definitely understand more of any particular broadcast now than when I started. Especially true for baseball. The crack of the bat has *so* much information in it.

I have been an SU fan since the early 70s. During that time, I have heard whiners complain about every game announcer we had.

Give it rest. They all are good though imperfect. Matt seems like a nice guy too. I enjoy his work and devotion to the SU teams.

No, I don’t know Matt personally or have any connection to him.

I’m gonna watch the game on mute while listening to Matt Park. I want to hear if he’s as bad as some folks say.

You won’t realize how bad he is unless you turn the tv off.

I could have sworn he just said it was 2nd and goal when in fact it is 4th and 1.

He butchered the first Syracuse drive. Down and distance he was making it up

Just make sure to keep him to a two drink minimum

I listened to him on the ACC network radio today and I get some of the critiques of him I’ve heard on this board. But he calls a fine game, I got a lot of info from crowd noise and then details from him. It was fine. His affection for Syracuse shines through.
