So I'm confused... You're saying there's a Pennsylvania guy with a weak voice spending a lot of time in Central Iowa... and he's letting down a lot of Cyclone Fanatics when he speaks to the crowd. This guy?

My ONLY fan experience change I want is concession management. Has to be a better/quicker way to move through lines than we are doing with the volunteer groups that do it.
I think the point here is that the PA guy is just OK. Why not strive to have better? I typically only go to one game every year so it's not a big deal but I was just surprised he wasn't better. A good PA guy (along with music as the other poster mentioned) can really fire up the crowd.
Pass. Great guy, average announcer. Too much erroneous information.
My only problem with the PA announcer is I can only hear his 1st down call and rise up call.
Can not hear who did what on the play.

@ChrisMWilliams, how much do I have to donate to be able to rate an entire thread dumb? Asking for a friend...
I'm in the older crowd (1987 grad) and for at least the past decade I've wondered why a lot of the music at Jack Trice sounds like the 1987 playlist from KGGO.
Also, **** you for this little jibe. Gymnastics takes incredible strength and determination. Our ladies have accomplished more than you ever will.
I don't mind the PA guy, but I have nearly nothing to compare him to.
I did think it was funny after a big defensive stop against ULM he said "That's another Cyclone F..." and stopped himself. Got a chuckle out of me.

what happened to the last guy? is this guy new this season? i thought it sounded different than normal even over the radio.
I get the concession thing, but that's a choice. Listening to PA Guy is not.
And how much revenue is gymnastics raking in?
I believe that the last one that did football and women's basketball moved to Arizona or something
I guess I must have taken his comment differently than you did, which following his second statement I guess I should have seen it more as you did, but I saw it as there is less for an announcer to deal with as far a gymnastics goes. Keeping up with who is what number and the pace of play would be different than keeping up with a gymnastic event. Though his revenue comment shows that you were probably correct in your assumption that it was a jab.
It's the same guy. I knew he "retired" after WBB last year, so I thought there would be a new voice at Jack Trice, but no it's still Carl. He must be planning on spending his winters down in Arizona is my guess.
The "older crowd" (1987 grad) made me LOL. I'm 72 years old and started coming to games with my dad in 1955. I've had season tickets since '73 and I don't care what kind of music they play, what unis they wear or who's on the PA, just play good competitive football and win more then we lose. Hawks suck! Go Cyclones!
Just gonna drop this here:
Campbell said when he first got to Ames, "...fans wanted to talk about the color of uniforms and the entrance music. You know. The stuff that doesn’t matter. Now we're talking about a football team, we're asking football questions and we're concerned about what's really important.” Campbell said. “
It only took four years, but we're finally here.
