Go to 31:55 to hear him call a touchdown. Not bad.

Sort of interesting: He only started in sports media in 2015. Prior to that, he spent 15 years in IT. He started doing play by play for SHSU in 2019, and was named sports director of his radio station in 2020. This will be the first time he's lived anywhere outside of his corner of Texas. He grew up and lived in Georgetown, TX(50 miles north of Houston), and then relocated to Huntsville in 2020(125 miles west and part of the Austin metro).

From 2020 announcing his hiring as sports director:

Much like the Football and Basketball teams for pro opportunities (players) and advancement for coaches. NDSU sports media allows for professionals to advance. But not only that the job is obviously good enough that a person will move to ND and leave roots.

This is not only for NDSU and its athletics program but the state in general. Opportunity, safety, good schools still exit.

Welcome.

NDSU should add the play by play box video to the game broadcast. In was interesting how "active" Rob was in his broadcast of the SHSU SDSU game.

Didn’t have to listen to that very long before realizing he will be great to have up in Fargo! Love the excitement. I also like how he has the respect for the players to pronounce their names correctly, Gronowski and Yanke are not the easiest names and he nailed them while his color guy butchered them. Good hire from the FBS!

scoop in hipp sounds promising, he likens north dakota to Texas with rural roots and family first. Sounds like he is really excited to have a rowdy fanbase at ndsu!! seems like a solid hire and that 11am-1pm spot should continue, I hope andy stays off the mix more now and focuses on program stuff. him and Jeff sounded forced on air.

best of luck

Have they publicly said he’s going to be doing the 11-1 show? I think they were silent on it in the hiring press release, so it makes me curious.

I do like Andy, he works his ass off. I love his early bird stuff on 1660 game day mornings. But yeah you could tell he and Culhane probably didn’t hang out after hours haha

Bison03
08-08-2022, 08:22 PM
Saw somewhere, think it was a Kolpack article, that he sees NDSU as a career move, not a stepping stone. Now, I would never blame anyone for going to a great opportunity like Jeff did; but I liked hearing that.

CAS would be a great choice for this job.

TAB would be entertaining but somehow has gleaned absolutely zero football knowledge over the past several decades. Obviously just here for the party bro.

Scottie would be like Alex Jones on KVLY which would be epic.

Tjamz would never show up for work and instead would send a 12 year old to do it for him (for no pay of course).

ECE8HE might work out okay except everyone hates him because he's actually Mike McFuckboy.

I can't keep Hammersmith and Hammerhead straight but whichever one I like would be good at it too. The one I hate would not. He should fuck off.

Heffy is actually my first choice but the f-bomb violations would be an issue.

Anyone else?

People in other parts of the Midwest think they have cold winters and don't realize how much colder Fargo is. And people in Fargo think places like Chicago and Boston are similarly cold and snowy. Not even close. For someone from Texas, they know they are getting cold weather. But nobody can be prepared for a normal cold winter up there. Friends of mine moved from Indiana to Crookston a couple years ago, and they LOVE the cold and snow. They are a little crazy.

I preferred Hipp over Culhane honestly - at least in the play-by-play role (the daily radio show was infinitely better with Culhane). Just seemed like he has a voice more suited for radio and had more of the "growl" during big plays versus Culhane whose voice pitch rose on all the big plays which irritates me (SDSU's radio guy makes Culhane sound like a bass with the way he calls big plays).

Hipp left a team that just moved up to the FBS to come to NDSU.

Sam Houston is neither a state or a real program. Put whatever initials behind it you want bro that’s objective facts.

I preferred Hipp over Culhane honestly - at least in the play-by-play role (the daily radio show was infinitely better with Culhane). Just seemed like he has a voice more suited for radio and had more of the "growl" during big plays versus Culhane whose voice pitch rose on all the big plays which irritates me (SDSU's radio guy makes Culhane sound like a bass with the way he calls big plays).

In my opinion, Culhane was way more polished. Seemed like Culhane had genuine enthusiasm for NDSU, and it was very forced with Hipp. While Hipp had a good voice, that’s where it ended. Maybe he would hav grown on me, we’ll never know. Heck I’ll pull-up an fsu game to hear a Culhane call.

I was not a fan of Hipp trying to wedge his southern sayings into his play by play all the time. He has a good voice but it never seemed natural.

You want bass?
You want an NDSU alumnus to boot?

I will have Bubba, not some subordinate, drive The Helmet Car to Fargo, stop on 25th Street, pick up and then deliver to the SHAC one Jack (Todd Clark) Michaels. He's all yours. And so is Marge.

Best of all, I'll have all this done gratis.

What time is the presser? Bubba will have him there an hour before.

Culhane did his homework and really knew the program(at least when I listened to him). Rob Hipp several times I heard him say things that were not accurate at all and that was a turnoff for me.

My favorite Rob Hipp bits were when Phil would be complaining about a bad call/non-call that ended up benefiting the Bison, and Rob was so used to homerism that he didn't understand what was going on. Anyway, I hope he lands a good gig in Texas - awesome voice and a lot of knowledge about Texas football.

The former players they have on Bison1660 call it like they see it, as far as I can tell.

My favorite was early in the season he shared a story about losing or breaking his glasses a few years back and how he never got new ones. He then proceeded to get 7 jersey numbers/players names wrong in a row.
Side note, I hope they do an eye test before the next hire

Hipp got hired a month before the season started and some people expected him to know what color underwear Bentrim wore. His first season was a stopgap and he did about as good as anyone could’ve done in his position.

I think he really hamstrung himself being afraid to misspeak or not live up to the culture.

Meh I don't love listening to him honestly and the number of times I cringe when he speaks is too high for my taste. I find that if he's the only one on or is taking over the conversation I stop listening. That's just my opinion.

Andy probably drove Rob crazy so that’s why he quit. Andy talks too much and that’s my main gripe, he needs to let the experts talk and him to shut up and listen. Andy is no expert so we don’t need to hear him act like one. Kyle is great and makes the show actually entertaining, he has the experience and bison legacy. Exactly what we need in a be pxp

He’s the type of bad radio personality that somehow manages to tell the guest how they should answer his question while asking his stupidly long question.

I know you didn’t just call Hipp an expert…..when it comes to bison Football Andy knew way more than Hipp

A former player won’t be pxp. That’s not a skill set you can just do. Former players do color or sideline. If former players could just do pxp then we would see it at the pro level and I can’t think of one former player that does pxp

Never said Rob was an expert just that he was probably annoyed by Andy talking the entire 2 hour show. Kyle is the expert and is the one I enjoy listening to. Didn’t say Kyle needs to be the next play by play but I sure hope it is someone familiar with the Bison before getting the job….

And my may know the Bison better than Rob but he is far from an expert in college football …..

Andy did have a strong tendency to talk over people, but he seems to be getting a bit better. He did this to Culhane all the time, but Andy is a NDSU product so I want him to keep getting better and ultimately succeed.

Speaking of Culhane, anyone know how it’s going for him out there in Tallahassee? Never hear a peep about him on 1660.

I liked that guy KVLY had who would just say "talk about that" after everything.

"Tough game out there a lot of turnovers talk about that."

"Big win today and another valley championship talk about that."

"Lakes is stalking your grandmother talk about that."

I think Andy got that from Brake. I do feel like Jeff and Brake talked down to Andy all the time whether it was deserved or not. Andy unfortunately has learned from that and this product is the result

The only former player I've ever seen do play by play was Dan Fouts. And he was decades into his broadcasting career when he switched to do that. And, he wasn't doing NFL anymore, he was doing college football.
