Sad to hear. The past year has been a kind of roller coaster for Mark Packer.

I listened to his show on Serius ever day. I still haven't heard why they took him off.
He was one of the few talking heads that had any sense.

I know he has the afternoon show now on ACC network. Don't know why he is no longer host of On Campus. He has been awesome in those time slots since before SXM when he was on air on multiple stations. The old Southern Fried Football days.

I remember there were some tweets and he talked about how down some things felt around then due to bad news, etc.

He was easily my favorite…always caught his show if I could. The current guys are…okay. But nothing like the Pac-Man!

Isn’t that Raferty’s schtick?

He will always be to me the guy who melted down on Selection Sunday in 2006 when George Mason got into the field...

He was always my favorite CBB analyst. Not much schtick but knew the game.

Had no idea that was his son.
