CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – After 29 years of calling UNI football, men's basketball, and baseball, Gary Rima announces his retirement as the voice of the Panthers following the 2021-22 men's basketball season.
Rima has been on the radio call for the biggest moments in UNI history the past 29 years, calling championship games and NCAA tournament victories. Fans heard his catchphrases like 'Oh baby, I love this team' and 'Kaboom' showing his excitement and dedication to UNI Athletics with every call.
"As the voice of the Panthers for nearly 30 years, Gary is synonymous with some of the greatest highlights in UNI Panther history," said Director of Athletics David Harris.
