Awful announcing (not the website)

    This is really my point (not that you are a dick, I'm sure you are a good guy) why is this on national TV? It is on TV so the cool, big timers can make fun of this guy. I find that to be in poor taste. Guess what...A small town announcer sucks...film at 11:00.

    If you do something on newspaper, television or radio that deserves to be criticized or critiqued, then it should be criticized or critiqued. Good, bad, or indifferent.

    Boom guy was a kid thrust into his first time in college TV. This guy (which is a big dude, check his twitter: @BigSnowman40) has done it before, this wasn't his first time.
    Sorry, if you are announcing a game, act like you've been there before...even if it's your first time.

    I've gotten excited calling games, but I didn't have a freak-out moment.

    The sheer awfulness and embarrassment aside, the fact is that if you're listening to this clown on the radio, you can't understand a word he is saying because he's screaming into his microphone like a lunatic.

    Even if the rest of the broadcast was OK, which I highly doubt, he completely lost his cool at the most important moment of the game. If I'm at home listening to this, I have to wonder if there's a game being played, or if someone is giving this guy a purple nurple.
