Oh Baby

[oldcat]

There is a thread on SalukiTalk about Rima. It's called Kaboom and they don't like him very much............what else would you think. I'm glad he dies Purple and Gold..............who cares what they think. He's the man and PantherNation loves the "Sports Guy".............keep up the great work, Gary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I would limit it to schools in Iowa.

Re: Oh Baby

Nothing I like better than listening to Gary and KB do UNI basketball games.

I enjoy that duo as much as I enjoy listening to ron and pat broadcast the cubbies. (I love those guys)

UNI is very very lucky to be affiliated with a guy like Gary Rima.

Gary I really respect and admire what you do.

thanks from a panther fan

Re: Oh Baby

I listened to their feed for free online the other night because it was free, I kept waiting for their announcers to say "Bueller?" "Bueller?" "Ferris, Bueller?"

When somone scored, you couldn't even tell what team just scored until they said the name.

Re: Oh Baby

How many people cant say that they havnt watched a UNI game on T.V. and shut the volume off and turned up the radio to have Gary's call instead of the announcer on the T.V. ? I dont know how many times I have seen people sitting in the dome at a football game and seen people listening to Gary's call while watching the game ! Bottom line is I have never heard anyone that makes it feel like your at the game even if your not better then Gary ! SIU fans just need something to cry about and the easiest is to say hey lets pick on their radio guy

Re: Oh Baby

I'm gonna guess that Gary won't be shedding any tears over being unliked by Saluki fans.

Re: Oh Baby

I love Gary! How many times was up for the "Homer Call Play of the Week" when Dan Patrick was still on ESPN Radio? I know of at least once.

In a way I do not mind when the announcers hold back their emotions. Gary and Scott used to be much more reserved than they are now. Even so, they are easily my favorite announcers.

Sadookie fans hate enthusiasm and entertaining radio broadcasts.

Re: Oh Baby

Gary may be a "homer", but as one who now has to rely on him 100% of the time, that's just what I want to hear. He's the best!

Re: Oh Baby

One of the greatest attributes of a Rima broadcast is his ability to verbally paint the picture for you of the action. As you listen you are able to get a mental image of the ball movement, know who has the ball, where on the court it is, and what is going on throughout the play. Nobody provides that detail better than Gary. Dolph doesn't even come close....or really try. It is VERY frustrating listening to Dolph because you really don't know what is going on. On TV games, I have turned off the volume in both cases and listened to the respective radio broadcast of the game. Gary is real. It matches vividly the action on the TV. With Dolph, I sometimes wonder what game he is watching because what I see doesn't match what is coming out of his mouth.

Gary, YOU'RE THE BEST MAN. Also, ON PRESS ROW ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one thing that might be better than Gary and KB do a basketball game is Gary and Petey do a football game.
