Big congrats to Dolph! Couldn't imagine another voice for Iowa athletics. Happy to see him being honored like this.


Good for him. I've never been a fan of his work, and I don't know of any connection between Dolphin and baseball or Dyersville or anything, but nobody asked me about naming the press box. So again, good for him.

I've listened to enough of the Iowa opponents through recent years to know that Dolph is nowadays unlistenable by comparison.

I sometimes am forced to do the radio thing during the fall, and having some sort of gamecast pulled up is a must. Otherwise a good half the plays I wouldn't know what actually happened.

Dolph is a Dubuque guy,thru and thru.
Local banker, restauranteur ect.
Dyersville is a western burb of Dubuque.
Makes sense.

As for his work....a challenging listen.
