haha.....not sure if you meant it to be sarcastic humor, but that is exactly how I took it.

Oh yes- most definitely sarcasm. Waaaay too many, "Caught for a touchdown.....Noooooooo, ....intercepted by Richmond" calls to count.

I still like the guy for his enthusiasm and loyalty. I just think he'd be a better color guy. When you're listening on the radio, he can be mega frustrating.

There are many JMU fans who love the guy. Perhaps it's his enthusiasm, or simply the comfort of a familiar voice. Yet you are exactly right, his play-by-play is incredibly frustrating because of his mistake-riddled calls.

Just as many have questioned whether MM is the right guy to lead JMU into the strange new land of FBS, I think a change in the JMU broadcast booth is also justified. Heck, I think it's justified now.
