Probably not.The thought probably crossed his mind but I don't think he'd want to go out that way.

My beef with the whole thing is I think you have to consider intent. I think it's reasonable to assume his intent wasn't to disparage the kid racially....he meant it as a compliment. In hindsight the reference was inappropriate but a simple apology should have been sufficient.
The only saving grace on that one is he thought he was off air. Still a bad moment....I was moderately surprised that he wasn’t fired for ripping his own players. I mean the radio guys spend a lot of time with the coaches and team. That was pretty low.

Hey now, somebody has to draw penises on live TV to ~14 million people.Pretty low bar
This is true. Driving through states and listening to other team radio calls can be brutal.For a small population state, we're so damn lucky to have Dolphin, Walters and Rima.
All 3 are great and all 3 are very different. Any of them would have been deserving and I'm pretty sure they've all won it multiple times.
Eddie IS a guy they pulled out of a bar.
Had to listen to the PSU game on the radio coming back from vacation....I can't disagree.I like Dolph a ton but I can't tell what's going on when he does a game. Just being real.
Is anybody else annoyed with the way Rima says PAANthurs?For a small population state, we're so damn lucky to have Dolphin, Walters and Rima..
I hear Rima is a goood guy but I can't listen to him. It's his voice.Congrats to Dolph, I'm guessing this is an award of popularity and seniority.
I was lucky enough to meet Dolph and Ed when Zach Johnson held a flood relief event with Chris DiMarco after those bad floods in 2008. It was the Friday before the Iowa/ISU game. My buddy was the pro in the pro-am for a group that featured Cal Eldred, an Iowa baseball coach, and Cal's family members. So I rode along with my buddy while he played with these guys. Great day. Of course I had ISU gear on and Dolph and Ed gave me a little guff, but all-in-all were great to talk with.
That being said, woof it's laughable to try and understand what is going on in Iowa football and basketball.

Only thing that used to annoy me about Walters is his, "they needed 5 yards to get to the line to gain", comment. He was the first I had ever heard say that and I found it annoying. Now I hear it from others and it doesn't bother me. I guess I was just used to hearing "they needed 5 yards for a first down".
Someone should probably tell Barta about this...
Didn't get through the entire thread, but this. 100% this. I really like the guy, met him a few times at different events and couldn't have been more genuine and likable.He may be a nice guy. But he’s terrible at play by play. You can never tell what has happened in a game. Big iowa play? No idea.

You don't like the " oh baby" hahaRima is probably a good guy, but god he is terrible on the radio.
