FARGO, ND (KDLM) – The North Dakota State University athletic department has announced Rob Hipp will replace Jeff Culhane as the radio play-by-play voice of NDSU Football and Men’s Basketball. Hipp has been called Sam Houston Bearkat football, basketball, and baseball since 2019.
Culhane departed NDSU last month to take over play-by-play duties at Florida State University.
“The Voice of the Bison position goes well beyond calling football and basketball games. It is about conveying the NDSU Athletics story to our passionate fanbase across the nation,” said NDSU Director of Athletics Matt Larsen. “In addition to his strong play by play call, Rob Hipp’s ability to connect with the community and fanbase truly separated him from other talented candidates. We are excited to have him join the Bison Family.”
“It’s an incredible opportunity and blessing to be here. The word that comes to mind with everything associated with NDSU is excellence,” said Hipp. “I am looking forward to plugging into the community, getting to know Bison Nation, and helping to carry on the legacy of Bison Pride,”
Hipp will relocate to Fargo from Texas and begin work at the Bison radio flagship Bison 1660, where he will also serve as sports director, on August 15th. Hipp’s NDSU radio debut will be on Saturday, Sept. 3, when Bison football opens the season at home against Drake at 2:30 p.m.
