Yes agree. He was great and pretty unfiltered. He almost sounded more like a coach than an announcer.

I thought he was a little bit overboard with the tough guy rah rah stuff.

As I stated yesterday, Doc is good for a radio show but a bit much for game commentary. I use to actually like him on the 'noon Jefferson-Pilot/Raycom ACC football games from several years ago. He was the analyst on those games for quite a few years. Doc was even-keeled, although he was kinda funny as well on those games.

Now, on broadcasts, he's a bit over-the-top with the constant rah rah/tough guy talk and the hackneyed cliches. He's almost a caricature of himself. He's better suited for a radio show IMO, as his overzealousness eventually becomes boring.

This is coming from someone who really likes Doc Walker.

I personally felt the dynamic between him and Kenny Albert was almost comical yesterday. Almost as if Albert didn't feel totally comfortable working next to him. Walker sounded more like a critical, pissed fan than color commentator. Great stuff though. Theismann was pretty candid in this role previously. Walker was on a whole other level.
