What this really makes me consider is what will the broadcast sound like when either John and/or Eric retire.Ed Podolak transitioning out of role as Iowa football radio color commentator

Curious who the successors will be. Noah Wolf seems like the obvious one for PxP? Who would be color?
High school boy Boxster used to listen to Hawks on the radio when Eddie was running back. I still think of him as Eddie and not Ed.
I always assumed Blum would backfill John.
I can't remember his exact words, but the sound of defeat in Ed's voice when Jake Knott intercepted that pass to seal the win for ISU is a sound I will never forget
EDIT: 2012 game in Iowa City

Dude was always sloshed. Should have been fired many years ago.
I enjoyed listening to Gary and Ed over the years. Their corny phrases and schtick made me smile at their biased calls on the field....but that is what you expect when listening to the home team radio network.
IMO he is a huge loss for hawkeye fans, and will be impossible to replace his passion.

I dread the day John and Eric retire.
But Noah has gotten sneakily good in the play by play role. He seems to be the right mix of good at the job and a homer (in the best way).
I don’t mind the homer crap.
But technically they are VERY BAD on calling games. You never know where the ball is. You can’t tell if the play was good or bad for Iowa.
The Big 10 Network’s entire call of the play was “oh crap” out of Chuck Long, I think.
The bar pictures just make me think of Podalak as creepy and that’s how I will remember him
Remember, this is the fan base that revered Jim Zabel.
"And he gets the ball and he's running and he's running hard and oh hug and kiss those radios and it'll be 2nd and 12'
And you guys thought Brian was out of the program? Stepping in for Eddie………..
You might figure it out 30 seconds to a minute after the play. Might.
