Some people like that, but I hate the over the top homerism when it comes out as constant ******** about calls. I like to know what's ACTUALLY happening in game, not what I would've thought when I was 5 years old throwing a tantrum.This is exactly how I see Ed and Dolph. I like Heft and Walters better, but those guys were dyed in the wool homers and it made for an entertaining product
Moving on to greener pastures you might say?Dude is going to be peddling weed.
Dolph sucks at describing the action, especially when it goes wrong for Iowa. Walters is hands down better at that.Some people like that, but I hate the over the top homerism when it comes out as constant ******** about calls.

That and, you have zero idea what the hell is actually going in a Gary Dolphin called game. The dude can go entire series with never actually saying a score, time, down and distance or result of a play.
Heft and Walters do a great job in my opinion. I wouldn't trade them for anybody. But even those guys it's hard to listen to a game and not think the officiating is heavily slanted against ISU.
And I hate to say it, but I was on a road trip during two of the womens Big 12 tourney games, and it was almost unlistenable. My impression from the analysis was that pretty much every trip on both ends of the court ISU was egregiously screwed, and they overcame at least 30 points in horrible, one-sided officiating.
Have to agree, I've literally turned them off before. The color gal is especially egregious . Someone has to get her some feedback to tone it down.And I hate to say it, but I was on a road trip during two of the womens Big 12 tourney games, and it was almost unlistenable.

Heft absolutely hates the officials. We can’t really criticize the Iowa guys on that front.
Same. Thought I was the only one. Can’t believe so many Cyclone fans listen to Hawk games on the radio. I would rather have root canalIn all honesty when I saw this thread I thought it was from like 8 years ago. I had no idea he was still calling games. I thought this thread might be that he passed away. Not even joking
This times a million.That and, you have zero idea what the hell is actually going in a Gary Dolphin called game. The dude can go entire series with never actually saying a score, time, down and distance or result of a play.
I agree. I love hearing the absolute disgust in Heft’s voice when a call goes against us.That’s what you want in a color person. I want homers calling games. That’s the whole point.
If the officials made the right call against Iowa State, Heft will say that's the right call. If it was a bad call, why would he not have some disgust in his voice. He never acts as if all the calls against Iowa State are bad calls, like Ed or DolphI agree. I love hearing the absolute disgust in Heft’s voice when a call goes against us.
Sounds like Twitter or a game thread on here.Some people like that, but I hate the over the top homerism when it comes out as constant ******** about calls. I like to know what's ACTUALLY happening in game, not what I would've thought when I was 5 years old throwing a tantrum.

I don’t mind the homer crap.
But technically they are VERY BAD on calling games. You never know where the ball is. You can’t tell if the play was good or bad for Iowa.
I think what I enjoy most about listening to Ed and Gary is you always wonder how the other team even survived the game.
Noah is very good. She is not, in my opinion.Have to agree, I've literally turned them off before. The color gal is especially egregious . Someone has to get her some feedback to tone it down.
Sure, he'll say a foul is correct, or just omit commentary insinuating it was a good call, but he's pretty much raising bad calls/non-calls that go against ISU frequently through every game, with a very rare "ISU got away with one" sprinkled in. If you didn't put your homer ears on and listened to Heft, you'd think officiating in most games is pretty egregiously going against ISU.If the officials made the right call against Iowa State, Heft will say that's the right call. If it was a bad call, why would he not have some disgust in his voice. He never acts as if all the calls against Iowa State are bad calls, like Ed or Dolph
Noah is getting very good at play by play.Noah is very good. She is not, in my opinion.
