    That’s legendary Iowa broadcaster Jim Zabel, by the way. In my humble opinion, Dolphin still hasn’t filled his shoes.

    I love it, I love it, I love it. The Z man is the best Hawkeye ambassador there has ever been. It is a shame that he does not have a more prominent role in our broadcasting team. As for Kinnick stadium, it is going to be the classiest stadium around for many years. I have grown to love it more than many of the new, classless NFL stadiums.

    As a Hawkeye today I wish the UNI Panthers all the luck in their championship game tonight.

    Zabel’s ouster by Learfield was similar to Bowlsby’s unceremonious firing of Tom Davis – both deserved better.

    I can still remember watching Zabel doing his bowling show from some dank alley in Des Moines back in the day. He was able to make a ‘sport’ I couldn’t have given a flying flip about oddly compelling. Sure would be nice if they’d bring him back for halftime interviews or some such thing.
