Oregon State announcer's wild locker room antics are going viral

Mike Parker is in his 20th season as a radio announcer for Oregon State Sports, but he's never been more invested in Beavers football.

We can make this assumption based on a video that surfaced online on Saturday. Video taken in the press box during Oregon State's home game against San Jose State shows Parker making the call as the Beavers blocked a field goal at the end of the first half.

Parker bangs on the windows of the press box several times, shakes his fists, claps and more. Other reporters immediately took notice. KATU Portland athletic director Tyree Smith began chronicling Parker's antics. One can only wonder how busy there was before Smith began recording.

The video made the rounds on X, amusing local sports media members, but also garnering admiration.

I love Mike Parker's fire here! I don't want any other radio announcer

Mike Parker goes crazy in the radio booth when the field goal is blocked. Pounds on the window at least a dozen times while calling out.

Mike Parker is a sweetheart. We are lucky to have him in our Beaver family.
