Wolfgang from 1700 passes away

[spierceisu]

Wolfgang from 1700am passed away after an accident on interstate 80 where he was hit by a semi after getting out of his car on the shoulder. I know he was a hawkeye fan, but I always kind of liked him on the radio. I usually listened to the Fanatics on KXNO, but I would flip over to 1700 and give his show with Steen a listen. I thought their show was pretty good. I will miss him on the radio. He died too young!

Wow. Sorry to hear

Oh man that sucks. Was that just today or yesterday? I noticed last week his show wasn't on the air.

I really enjoyed his enthusiasm. He was a die hard hawk fan, but I enjoyed a lot of his rants where he wish something Iowa or Barta did was run like how Pollard does it. Hate to see this. First Cotlar last summer, now this. RIP.

That's terrible. Was it today? I noticed 7 or 8 cop cars flying both directions on I-80 this morning.

That was just today. This morning I believe.

Don't know him but sad to hear. Never get out of your car on the interstate, stay inside the steel box designed to keep you safe, someone will come assist. If you do always keep your eye on traffic, don't ever be between traffic and your car.

Sad deal. I always enjoyed it when he called into the local sports stations.

Man, bad all around. Not only is it horrific for the family/friends of the deceased but also the poor man that hit him. Just awful.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I only interacted with him once or twice on twitter, but he seemed very reasonable and respectful. Just awful

Sucks to hear.

Only those who have been listening to local sports talk radio will get this; a tribute to Wolfgang:

Thats horrible to hear. These deaths are always the hardest, because it’s completely unexpected. Wish his family and friends condolences.

This is very sad news. I know he is a hawkeye, but I really really liked him on the radio and he seemed like a really good guy. It sucks, he was to young for sure.

I hope he didn't do what people are suggesting. RIP

Ludwig from 1800 is dead too.

 

[amishclone]

That Twitter header though?

I hope he didn't do what people are suggesting. RIP

Why does this even mean?

I have a couple questions that we probably will never know the answers to but...

Why did he stop? Why was he close enough to the road that a semi could hit him? How would the semi driver get without any charges against him?

What a heartless comment!! I don't wish Karma on someone, but your comment makes me want to. Take your so called comedy somewhere else.
