I was in the car for the entire game today.  Matt Park is a terrible PxP guy for football.

Two times in the first half SU had a 2nd and 3rd of “very long”. How long you ask?  Who knows, because Park NEVER GAVE THE DISTANCE.  He literally just said “very long”.

That happened again early in the 2nd half.  Duke had a 3rd and “very long”. I snapped and shouted “HOW LONG?!”  Freaking maddening.

Park also loves to guess what the penalty is when he sees a flag. Surprise, he’s almost always wrong!  “Gotta be either pass interference or Roughing the passer on Duke”.  NOPE. Hold on SU. This happened three frigging times.

That Cook fumble, when it may have been targeting, or something. I don’t really know because Park never described what happened. Literally not at all.  Apparently he saw a replay 30 seconds after it happened, and his on air response was “oh”. That’s it!

He rarely says where the ball is. Matt, here’s a pro tip, before a play when you say “2nd and 6” just add “from the SU 36”.  It’s an extra 2 seconds and really helps the listener WHO CAN’T SEE WHERE THE BALL IS.

I’m sure he’s a super nice guy. I know he bleeds Orange.  He’s adequate for hoops.  But he is an atrocious football PxP announcer.  Awful. Terrible.
