Best Sportscaster in Iowa

[SplitIdentity]

Walters started it IIRC

He's certainly better than Joe Buck.

Call out the national guard. isu has the corner on backyard broadcasts and will not stand for anyone else doing it. Clearly this a national emergency that CyTwins wants solved immediately.

Violators will be shot on site at once as CyTwins serves the roles of judge, jury and executioner.

Go get em CyTwins, isu and clone fans worldwide support you.

Do less.

Could be wrong, but wasn't Joe buck one of the first to hop on this bandwagon?

I don't follow the national guys. I had to look this dude up - and it looks like his invitation went out on the 22nd.

ISU sent out their invitation on the 29th of March.

Iowa issued their invitation on May 1st.

Oh little bro. Just had to copy the Godfather

I was just responding to "TheBear" suggesting that we quit imitating Iowa...
aaaaaand shamelessly plugging MY thread.

He may be a nice guy. But he’s terrible at play by play. You can never tell what has happened in a game. Big iowa play? No idea.

100% agree with this-he drives me nuts

 

[CyTwins]

Whoa

You’re also forgetting how brutally bad the football was when he was here.

basketball had Johnny to at least give some relief. He also was there for the elite 8 run, and he deserved the hell out of that.

I'm fully aware of how bad football was in the 80s and 90s. I had decent seats with room to stretch out.

My point is that for most of Pete's tenure, the only option for live coverage of ISU sports for a large percentage of fans was via radio. TV games were a rarity. John has now been in that seat roughly half as long as Pete was, but having almost every game on TV (compared to basically none back then) naturally siphons off radio listeners.

There is a sensationalist aspect to his reporting style that can only come from years of having to try to make Iowa football sound interesting to listeners.

I can only imagine what the cyclone announcers go through

So, when exactly was Larry a sportscaster for ISU?

Meh. Perhaps you just need new material.

Dolphin is a good one. I personally think Walters it better, but whatever. Is this award an FU to Fran and Barta for the way they treated Dolph?

Is was definitely a message of support
