I had the same thought for a second, then I assumed OP was going to say "fire Jeff Prohm," so I wasn't worried.
A lesson he obviously learned at the Tommy Tubberville School of Broadcasting Iowa State Games.
I just listened to the radio call so I missed the joys of Jeff Prohm, but I just got done watching the highlights on Cyclones.com. At the very end he mentions Steve Prom. Did he pronounce the head coach's last name like that all night in addition to getting the first name wrong?
It was basically an either-or situation. He either got the first name wrong (Jeff) and the last name right, or the first name right and the last name wrong (Prom). A real bang-up job, for sure.
That guy had weird pronunciations with a lot of words. It seems like a thick Boston accent, mixed with Jamaican or something.
Times like this make me want to pursue an easier way for me to overlay the Walters/Heft on top of the TV broadcast. A Radio DVR and some sort of easy way to sync it up. Doubly complicated since a lot of times end up delaying the TV broadcast as well.
I thought he had a thick Elmer Fudd accent.
Of course you mean the Tommy Tubberville School of Broadcasting Iowa State Hawkeyes Games.
Get tunein radio on your phone and search for the Cyclones stream. It is actually behind slightly of live TV so if you have dvr you can sync it perfectly. I do it for every football game.
Is that the same lady who measured naz's 3s last year? She always keeps a tape measurer in her purse apparently. Never know when you will want to measure something i suppose
I think Blum and CW are much better thatn Walters and Heft. Heft is just plain difficult to listen to at times, especially during football games. Loved Blum and CW's take last night calling the game!
I thought I was the only one who couldn't take Heft. Good guy but there are some things that get to me. I'd mention them but then they would be in your head also. That would be mean.
Except Bill actually says funny things that keep me engaged as a listener, to see what he says next. I've actually stayed up later than I should have to watch a meaningless Pac 12 game just to listen to Bill Walton.
Walters is one of the absolute best play by play announcers I've ever heard. Doesn't get distracted, I can usually picture exactly what is actually happening. Also, he's not afraid to show emotion yet gives credit to the other team when it's due. Heft is a good compliment to him, and it's interesting to listen to him given how long he's been around Cyclone athletics. He's seen it all...
