ATHENS - University of Georgia sports radio broadcaster Jeff Dantzler has been relieved of some duties after asking female students what color underwear they were wearing during an interview. <br>
<br>
The general manager of Southern Broadcasting Companies Incorporated, Traci Long, said Dantzler will no longer host a weekday show on WRFC-AM in Athens, or the ``Fifth Quarter'' post-game call-in show after football games. <br>
<br>
Dantzler was relieved of those duties March fifth. <br>
<br>
He will still broadcast baseball and men's and women's basketball games on the station because he is an employee of the university, which selects the announcers. <br>
<br>
Dantzler made the remarks during his afternoon show before a Georgia baseball game February 14. He was speaking with three ``Diamond Darlings,'' female students who serve as ushers and work at souvenir stands. <br>
<br>
During the interview, one student told Dantzler she was wearing only red and black -- the school's colors. He then asked her what color underwear she and the other two were wearing.
