COUNCIL BLUFFS — Iowa play-by-play announcer Gary Dolphin got the party started with jabs at Nebraska almost immediately.
“Always good to come to Nebraska,” Dolphin said at the Mid-America Center Tuesday night. “Or I should say the Omaha area, after we’ve kicked their butt a couple times.”
Dolphin was in Council Bluffs with Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz and a few other Hawkeye coaches to speak to a contingent of Hawkeye fans. The group of coaches, including Ferentz and basketball coach Fran McCaffery, are touring the state in March and April.
Dolphin opened the program and within a few minutes was talking about Nebraska’s newly hired coach, Scott Frost.
