I did not know that. I knew there had to be a connection.

I like listening to Chuck. He doesn’t homer for Iowa, which would get old. And he knows a shitload about the game. Former coaches are always best in the booth, IMO. I don’t need humor and punchlines. I want meat and potatoes.

What's also nice is that he also really knows Iowa ... so can talk about particular players doing well or poorly in a game ... and he actually knows what he's talking about. He could likely point out that Hockaday is a SR LB who doesn't have much prior experience .... whereas, he'd also know that Colbert is a young guy (just a RS FR).

I like Chuck Long, just not as an announcer.

He doesn't homer for Iowa too much, but it's there. It's actually kind of amusing. Watched the Eastern Michigan - Purdue game and got a laugh at how many times he referred to "Iowa transfer Tyler Wiegers". Nice.

this made me laugh but then again I watched the last game with a dozen or so young people that probably would not know this. A reminder of how old I am.
