Tommy in Des Moines on the radio
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
There was an article about him in the Rag a few years ago. If I remember right, he cares for his brother who has some kind of disability.
He's been calling in a long time. I remember when Soundoff started in 1979 or 1980 with cotlar and he was a regular caller even then.
Sometimes it takes this to get "juiced up" for new Cyclone fans, like Chizik. He will learn the passion he is asking us for.
I don't think "Tommy from Des Moines" has anything on the ******** guy from Newton (also a big hawkfan) who calls in and talks about his paper route. When I lived in Newton, I remember seeing him peddling his bike around with the hawk flags all over.
These guys are the true face of hawkfan(tm)

He's made his last call I guess: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/s...ity-tommy-from-des-moines-dies-73/2618979001/
Every fanbase needs their delusional diehards, and Iowa lost one of theirs today. My condolences to his family and Hawk nation.
Kxno morning shows addressed his passing. Even though he was a Hawkeye the passion he showed in his calls was something that I think we all can appreciate. Condolences to his family and all Hawk fans.
Nice article.
I grew up listening to the call in shows with my dad and can remember “Tommy from Des Moines” going back to a very young age.
RIP Tommy you did it right here on earth!
