I get the impression that Murphy is one of those fans that doesnt really have a side between ISU\Iowa, but just pulls for both to do well.

Curt worked at WOI TV in 1988 for a moment as well. Went by Curtis Menefee at that time on air.
So maybe you shouldn’t try and tell me how I should feel about it?
This is true. However, Fales and Sears are both Hok lovers and can both EABOD
I am out of touch with today's slang, but what does the O stand for between the B & D?
Yeah I’ve seen him and his now wife over the last 5-6 years at Iowa state games all the time. They are in the sukup end zone .
By all means, keep up with your crazy rants. No one can deprive you of that.
My memory is fading but wasn't he also the host of Johnny Orrs weekly TV show back in the early 90s?
Wow great memory he sure did. And for some reason I remember Johnny’s at the old hotel there on duff and trying to have a restaurant back then but I don’t remember it being all that great. Did they maybe do some of the shows there …? Why is that popping up in my head ?
I'll take the other side of that, never forget and never forgive, he is always condescending and smarmy whenever he does a piece on the Cyclones. He should have been fired when he did it. Murphy is the only semi-decent one on 13 sports.
LOL most of the TV people talked about weren't even sports reporters.
The conversation sure has turned from former to current lately so let's get back on track. Really don't care what people think of Keith Murphy, Andy Fales, etc. who are still in this market. The intent I had with this thread was to find out what former local media or popular personalities of the past are up to these days that are no longer in the Des Moines/Central Iowa market.
I went to the first Grandview football game in school history back in 2008 I think. Andy Fales had some huge thing where he was brought in on Chopper 13 and landed on the 50 yard line, got out and waved to the crowd like he's some huge celebrity. I literally heard "Who the hell is this guy?" from 90% of people in the stands.
Most of the fans there were parents who weren't even from Iowa so they couldn't care less about him.
He very nearly did quit to work at the bank full time.
Travis and Heather are his work parents and despite all the crap they give him, he loves them.
Being on the radio and being a local celebrity will probably never make him a ton of money, but he probably loves it. So much that he does his radio job in the morning and works his second job at the bank, and does a podcast with friends, AND social time with his girlfriend and group of friends.
I can understand why he does it. By now being a dope is his shtick and he just runs with it.
