Dolph and Eddie

They’ve had people stand in for them, I’m thinking Rob Brooks is one and does a good job. I love Bobby Hansen and could listen to him any day of the week about basketball.
Cool Dolph story. I went up to the Minnesota basketball game last winter and after Iowa won, The Barn cleared out pretty quickly. I walked around the arena a bit with the kids showing them the upper deck. Broadcasters sit in the upper deck corner there and Dolph and Brooks (I believe) were doing the post game. Assuming Bobby wasn’t there or in the locker room for the Fran post game. Dolph sees me taking a picture from about 50 feet away. Gives me a wave and motions me over. I assumed he was on the air so I didn’t want to get close. Dolph asked me my name and where I was from. Then told me I came a long way to get there (5 hours ish). Dolph said he’d give me a shout out on the air lol. Dolph seems like a great man and true Hawkeye fan which you can hear in voice when he calls the game.
Side note for anyone wanting to go to the Minn / Iowa ball game. Williams Arena is pretty fan friendly. Things you get to see at an older arena that has since past with newer arenas. The players will come out to the concourse after the game and meet with family. Got to see both Murray brothers, Rebraca, Sandfort, and a few others. The team bus pulls up the arena on the SW side and you can watch the players, coaches, and even a few parents walk in. Pretty good time there.
RIGHT!!!!
Besides, who else could do better announcing the crap we put out there disguised as Offense?
I’ve said this before, Dolph and Eddie should be ambassadors for the athletic department. Send them out on the I-club tour or whatever they do these days. Have them tell stories or such…but keep them away from the booth on gamedays.
I've always been a Dolph and Eddie supporter, but I do have to say that when I listened to the last game, Dolph spent 70% of his time talking about various fans from various cities in Iowa and I really thought he was recruiting folks to come to his popular bar in Dubuque. Stick to the game and pay attention, Dolph! And Eddie is starting to mumble.
You all are missing the main point, HE DROVE FROM OHIO TO WATCH THIS OFFENSE! You are a way better fan than I am!
Bullshit, Kirk could outwork you any day of the week. I'm sure Grassley and Dolph could too.
I used to think that but watch the student broadcasts on BTN. It's not good.
I love Dolph. He is a great guy that I met a long time ago. Seems genuine and legit when talking to Hawk fans. He has an iconic voice that is great to hear...
But it is beyond time. He is so bad on this stuff. I never have to listen to games for football but I did the last two weeks and was lost. Basketball, as others have eluded to, is way way way worse. You miss scores, fouls, turnovers, you name it.
Eddie sounds really out of it. Bobby is fantastic.
A lot of the time Dolph's correct, but then the defense fills the hole before the ball gets there.
listened to dolph while watching the game on tv, hadnt done this for quite some time, and couldnt believe how many times he got the player wrong. if he corrected himself, it usually took quite some time. does he have a spotter? anyone sitting in front could have been his spotter
