New Public Address Guy

[GoB1G]

“Paging Mr. Herman. Mr. P.W. Herman, you have a telephone call at the front desk.”

Iowa isn’t phony and we see right through phony BS. Stop throwing your voice and just talk naturally.
Hearing you throughout the game was as triggering as someone sucking their fingers when they eat, or NPR dry-mouth noises.

Thank you

I miss Father Bob Holzhammer.

Hope he isn’t as bad as the 2002 Orange Bowl guy,

I agree with you, NPR dry mouth noises are the absolute worst.

At least he doesn’t yell into the mic when the opposing team is on offense. How embarrassing a team in the B1G lets that happen.

 

[ClarindaA’s]

He was terrible

 

[WeBeHerkin]

The video board operators need a lot of work.

 

[jwgohawks]

He's trying too hard to portray some kind of persona and it doesn't sound natural, could tone it down a bit. He's still better than the women's basketball PA guy whose over-the-top screaming after any Iowa basket I've had enough of.

Also, the north video board and ribbon board need work. The north endzone video board has a bunch of off-color pixelated blocks, really stands out badly when watching. And the ribbon boards have the same things and half the time short out.

I liked the new PA guy. More energy.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

The new PA guy was awful week one. Not even about voice inflection, it was about messing up names, downs and distance, plays. He was better this week but a long ways to go.

Starting a new thread on the video and sound.

Was there and almost left that game… he was as annoying as hell

Way to loud in the South endzone. Bringing my noise cancelling headphone to OSU. My ears are still ringing.

Interesting walk over Saturday. A very attractive young lady was so hammered she staggered into me. I stopped to help her or she would have fallen over. My wife assisted. Asked her girlfriend if she was OK. She was pretty hammered also, we set them down on a wall. They said they would be fine.

My fatherly instincts were kicking in but we left them. Sad, two beautiful young ladies, absolutely bombed.

Yeah, ya rarely see that at a college football game...

 

[J.Hawkeye]

Interesting? Not really.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

What was the announcement he kept making about Iowa's punt formation? Couldn't make it out on TV,

And .... why?

 

[Hawkangler]

I generally have a few under my belt so maybe don't notice it as much. I had very little to drink so drunken behavior and swearing at the game in front of young children was more apparent. This will be our last year so I guess I'll have to drink more at the tailgate.

Our whole line was wearing alt. jersey numbers.

Also noticed Doll switched from #23 to #13.

It is so funny how everything works in the stadium. I am on about the 5 yard line on the Southeast side. I can never hear the music clearly. Nobody in our section can. The sound system funnels everything straight to you in the south.

I'll have to say that it was annoying as phuck,... If I were Kirk I'd change the formation to whatever was required to not have to ever hear again.

I Remember a very drunk young lady stumbling through A parking many years go. Stumbled over the curb and face planted into that same curb.
Got up and kept stumbling away. Really sad to see. IMO

He mentioned at the end of the game he has a spotter and thanked that person, lol.

They should have it blue tooth to your airpods

I think Saturdays stadium announcer vs ISU was different than week 1… he was a little better … but meh …

 

[IaHawks03]

Whoever is in charge of updating the large video board with down and distance needs fired.
Slow to update. Multiple times had the wrong down posted on the board.
Once it said 1st and 3 after a first down.

Was same guy.

 

[Rusty’s Dad]

Was same guy.

Thanks for letting me know… maybe just his cadence was different or something

Thought you were going to say you ended up marrying this girl

The video board operators need a lot of work.

They didn't update other game scores once during the Iowa State game. What a joke!

I miss Father Bob Holzhammer.

Amen, pun intended. Father Bob spoiled us as a fanbase.

It's Rod Lehnertz. VP at the U. IC Regina grad. I read an interview with him and he said his announcing inspiration is Alan Roach. Google him
