What's this?

I agree that Mark's regular play by play is


Pretty good. But the sound of his yell grates on both my wife's and my ears. He takes it to a 10 on a routine Buff touchdown when Keith Jackson took it to a 5 when he yelled "Caught!
Touchdown! Caught by Westbrook for a Touchdown!" on easily the most famous play and the best call in the history of the program. To me Mark comes of as inauthentic excitement. But in his defense again his normal play by play is quite good. I just wish a trusted friend would advise him to dial it back to more of his natural voice on big plays.
