We got to hear from the Coordinators during this Week 5 BYE for the Hawks and they did not disappoint! Lester was the highlight, as he spoke with nuance and explanation that Iowa fans haven't heard maybe ever.

Zach, brother of Tyler, is also from Marshalltown but ended up going to high school in Ankeny, playing for Jaguars of Centennial. He never planned on playing college football, until a coach recruiting Riley Moss, his high school teammate, mentioned something to Tyler in late 2017.

His career lasted 2 years before he decided to move on, but sits as an example of how many, maybe the majority of walk on careers actually play out. And highlights the effort and work put in regardless of shining in the spotlight of college football like the star players.

We talk about our Spotify wrapped, how much it would take to buy us out of the WUW, and other dumb stuff.

The Hawkeyes win streak continues as they found a way to battle and win in single digit temperatures in Minneapolis over the weekend. The trophy, Floyd of Rosedale stays in Iowa City, where it has resided for 8 straight years. The question.. how does a team give up 270 rushing yards to a single running back and win the game? How do 2 teams in frigid weather manage ZERO penalties, something that hasn't been done since 1986. How does this Defense continue to find ways of bending, and bending, and bending some more, but never breaking. We discuss it all in 370, including the Hawks improbable path back to INDY and the B1G Championship game which is 1 game away from their grasp. Join us for some fun.

How important is it to look at the defensive rankings of the teams on the front of Iowa's year? How much has this O line improved in the last 2 weeks? Has Brian been getting more aggressive and calling new plays? Lots to discuss in this episode, including conversation about Charlie Jones, and what we would buy if we won the Lottery.

We opened this episode with 20 minutes of sillyness, catching up, making jokes, our best advice for a successful podcast.. kind of, and telling stories of times we got stitches. Other topics in this podcast include the 2023 football schedule for Iowa, Hockenson trade to the Vikings, the first CFP rankings of the year, Charlie Jones discussion, the keys to beating Purdue, Ward's Winners.. and much much more.

The Hawks found life, and put out their best offensive performance of the year in a 33-13 victory of the Wildcats. How much of this weekend's success was due to progress from the O vs the Northwestern team being bad at football? How much has this Offense truly struggled because of the lack of time to throw the ball? Will this momentum keep building this week vs Purdue? Many new questions to ponder as the Hawks go to 4-4. We recap the weekend bets, and an all new Walkon Top 5, Halloween Candy.

A lengthy episode that dives deeper than we anticipated. The episode starts light with 15 minutes of casual catching up, an opportunity to win 250 bucks by signing up for Pikkit using code: WALKON, and some weight lifting talk.. Then we get into the meat of this weeks drama. We talk about KF's now viral quote about a reporter from Cleveland and his article, what we thought of the the comments, and some deeper discussion about KF. We discuss the fan base, the negative bubble around Iowa, who the team belongs too, and being patient for change. We talk about the possibility of NIL changing the sentiment amongst fans towards players, and a whole lot more. Plus we do our Ward's Winners and finish with some QB thoughts.

The guys discuss the 54-10 loss from the weekend. Thoughts on how well the Defense actually played despite the OSU score being so high. Discussion about Padilla being brought in at half, if we think he got a fair shot, and how that position battle should be handled moving forward. Thoughts on the some outside ideas about the locker room being split, and players having bad blood with each other. What we saw with the special teams that was unlike the standard Iowa usually produces, and why Tory Taylor took off on that punt. And some discussion to finish the episode on the state of the fanbase, being careful what we wish for on the outside, and trying to see all perspectives. We of course recap our betting picks of the weekend as well.

Take a journey with the boys, all 3 of them, as they take you back to November of 2017, and walk through the entirety of the day the Hawks shocked the world. Memories, thoughts, highlights and more on a drive by drive basis from that game. What was the turning point? When was it obvious that OSU had quit? What were the most important plays of that game and for what reason? An inside look front to back at the 'Polecat', Drake's touchdown, and more. Plus.. The Ward's Winners segment in FULL effect.

An amazing weekend of college football is in the books, one that the Iowa Hawkeyes did not participate in. The boys recap their picks from last episode after hearing about Kevin's weekend away at a Fall wedding. They discuss the big game of the weekend where Alabama fell to Tennessee on a last second field goal that was actually a total shank. Then a conversation about the Big Ten West ensues where the league is completely flipped on its head from just 6 years ago. Purdue holds off Nebby to stay tied for the lead in the division with the Fighting Illini. We talk about what the back half of the season could look like for the Hawks starting with this week against Ohio St, and a whole more.

The Bye week is here and should provide a little relief from both Hawkeye players and fans. A weekend for everyone to kick back enjoy football for a day without having to stress over the Black and Gold. Everyone except for Kevin, who will be attending his 2nd Fall Wedding of the year. On this episode we discuss Caitlin Clark's new NIL deal, Serial Killers, Crazy Patreon subscribers, Jake Gervase getting his number called in a big way, an all new Walkon Top 5, and Ward's Winners of the Week.

The boys recap an extremely frustrating loss for the Hawkeyes over the weekend as Iowa falls 9-6 to the Fighting Illini. We discuss our leading thoughts on the game, the Defense, the Special Teams, and of course the Offense. We share insight into how we are processing the lack of production on the field, and what the Bye week might look like practice wise for the Hawks. The mindset moving forward, the difficulties of being former players and having to call a spade a spade, and more. There's a Krispy Kreme story, a beautiful cover of 69 points, and Kevin in a plain white Tee.

In this episode we talk about what comes to mind when we think Illinois football, memories from our games against the Illini, thoughts about their stadium and locker room and what Bielema has done so far in Champaign. We get a brief aural cameo from Ryan Ward and ponder why he hasn't been on the show yet. Then we discuss in further detail the firing of Paul Chryst, the precedent this sets for other coaches and athletic departments across the country, which job is better? Nebraska vs Wisconsin, and who we think has the best chance in the West. We give our short opinions on how Iowa wins the game this weekend, and make our weekly picks in the Ward's Winners segment.

We sat down to record this episode just 30 mins after the news that Wisconsin Head Football coach Paul Chryst was being relieved of his duties. So we start the episode with a brief discussion on that news. We dive into breaking down the Iowa game, talk about how Spencer Petras had his best personal outing to date, how the Defense could have helped themselves out a little more, the difference in performance around the line of scrimmage on Saturday, and how Iowa even in defeat took a step forward as a team. We also discuss how the Big Ten West is completely up for grabs this year and how Iowa could still make a run.

This is a very Washed Up Walkons episode.. unfiltered, off subject, entertaining but not safe for work. We do an absolutely abysmal job at actually previewing the football game. But.. if you like to laugh then this could be for you. We touch on topics like how we prepared for Michigan in 2016, what it will take for this years team to pull off a similar upset, and why Kinnick is so special when it comes to big matchups. Most of the episode is about our top 5 breads, making fun of Brady Ross, coming up with ways to exploit the current players on the team, a new only fans account, and talking Ward's Winners for the week. We warned you.

The Hawkeyes took care of business in Piscataway on Saturday earning their way to Victory 27-10. While the Defense posted their 4th straight solid performance, highlighted by 2 trips to the endzone off of turnovers, it was the Offense who may have injected some more hope into Hawkeye faithful. We go back through our Wards Winners from week 4, and discuss the lopsided Minnesota vs Michigan St game. We recap the win, our initial thoughts on what we saw improve from the Hawks and what still needs work, and discuss Iowa's outlook in the Big Ten West. We talk O-line development through 4 games, receivers limited role in the game this weekend, Cooper Dejean being an All American in waiting, and answer the question, "Has Riley Moss fallen off?".

We dive into the Hawkeyes first Away game of the season and what the keys for an Iowa victory will be this weekend in Piscataway, NJ. We also finish up discussing what we learned, if anything, from the 7 hour Nevada game. Why is SP more comfortable with Nico on the field, and will Iowa continue to take shots in the passing game to help open up their entire Offense. We recap the bets from last week and debut the Week 4 edition of Wards Winners complete with the DRF Boost of the week!

A late night game, turns into an early morning recap. Iowa's Offense and Defense did as expected, controlling the field and blanking the Nevada Wolfpack for a their first shutout of the season. Iowa's Offense looked to be better, in multiple areas, but the question now is was the reason because Iowa actually figured some things out? Or was this a product of playing one of the worst teams in the country? Why did the playbook get bigger? Did Nico and Keagan really make a big difference? Who are the top 5-6 guys that the O-line should have out there, and will these improvements carry forward to the Rutgers game this week, and further into Big Ten play.

While this is the Nevada Preview, the only football talk you will hear is in the last 20 mins of the episode. We talk coaches getting trolled on Cameo, A potential Walkon meetup the night before the Wisconsin game, Drake opting for less work and more compensation, Our views on being more critical of the program the further out we get, Brett Favre doing illegal shady stuff to help his daughter, How well received the Top 5 segment has gone, Why Iowa should have their best week, and finish with Ward's Winners.

The streak comes to an end, as the Cyclones win the CyHawk game 10-7 on a day that saw much of the same out of Iowa's anemic offense. We open this 2 man show with discussion of Drake's involvement moving forward, and then dive into the game. Kevin was not in attendance and we discuss if that was actually better in hindsight not having to see the Hawks lose. We update the Ward's Winners picks from last week, We discuss how it is possible that Iowa sits firmly in dead last in the country in Offense, break down some key points of the game including the big special teams plays by the Hawks that kept them in it, but also the 99 yard drive by Iowa State. We speculate on if any personnel changes will be made moving forward and try to dissect how this is not even a 2 or 3 part problem, but much more than that. We finish with conversation about Nebraska finally parting ways with Scott Frost.

Its Cy-Hawk week. The in-state rivalry is renewed once more and Iowa State could be going into this game as confident as they have since their last win in 2014. The Hawks look to find their footing on Offense while the D and Special Teams will continue to carry the squad. We discuss what we would do if we were in charge of the team, where our focus would lie, and what is most important heading into Saturday. We also speculate on why the O line is in such a dire spot, and if coaching could have something to do with that. We drop a brand new 'Walkon Top 5' and Ward's Winners returns!

The first full edition of our new Walkon LIVE Show. This is going to be a LIVE-stream that happens on Tuesdays around 4pm Central time, where listeners and fans can call into the show and interact with the boys!

The Hawks kicked off their season inside Kinnick this past weekend with a very lackluster 7-3 victory over the jackrabbits. Sadly, an entire off season of waiting and hoping that the Hawkeye offense would be better looks to be a lost cause. Issues are still there, and potentially worse, spanning almost every offensive position group, and the problems are being exacerbated by a not fully healthy roster. Spencer Petras, one of the hot topic items for the last 3 years, appears to be much of the same, isn't getting help, and is leaving fans wanting basically anything else. We do get to discuss some good things like the almost perfect Iowa Defense, one of the best Punters in the nation, and more. Come along for our full game breakdown.

Brandon is from Larchwood, Iowa and played high school football for the West Lyon Wildcats. After walking on for the University of Iowa, Brandon quickly ascended special teams depth charts and became a vital component of the special teams in our 2015 undefeated regular season. He would eventually be named starting Safety in 2016 and start all 13 games that season, collecting 85 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles. After tearing his ACL in the Spring of 2017, he made an almost magical return to the field in under 6 months, in a game that many will remember his Pick-6 against Illinois. Unfortunately the knee was already reinjured at that point in the game, something that we dive into during our conversation, and his season would end. He transferred to SDSU for his final season of eligibility and finished his career with the Jackrabbits. We talk the upcoming matchup, the styles that each team play, and memories from his playing days.

Week Zero, whatever that means, has come and gone and that means college football teams across the country have started their quest for glory in 2022. 2 of those teams, Nebraska and Northwestern, have been waiting all off season to rectify poor campaigns from the 2021 seasons. They would do so in Ireland, thousands of miles away from Lincoln, Evanston, and the rest of B1G country to kick off the 2022 Big Ten slate. And while both teams seemed to have improved on a couple areas of the game, it appears Nebraska will be chasing some more of the same this year. We discuss the loss, What we thought of both outfits, some of the personnel on each side, the topic of Head coach for the Huskers, beer snakes, and a whole lot more.

The Voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Gary Dolphin, makes his second appearance on the show. Listening to Gary talk Hawks, Iowa City, Kinnick, or really ANY topic is simply mesmerizing. His voice is synonymous with football season, the black and gold, happiness for many. In this episode we dive deep into a discussion about his recent trip across the world to Europe, some fun history on Kinnick Stadium, His bar in Dubuque, The Field of Dreams, Coach Parker, His thoughts on the team this coming fall, and a dozen little legendary stories that he works in between all of these conversations. To be frank, if you are an Iowa fan, you will enjoy this next hour.

The boys are all back for a non guest episode for the first time in a long while. We discuss Drake 'running out' of internet, his phone not working, Usman getting kicked in the head, and the reason that 344 wasn't a Gary Dolphin interview like originally planned. Nebraska linemen are throwing up at alarming rates and while the quote that came directly from Scott Frost's mouth may have been hyperbolic, we discuss the implications of exerting yourself that hard, if football training and practices should ever induce vomiting, and we speculate on the state of the Husker program with this news coming 10 days out from their first game with NW in week 0. We also share a story from a listener who reached out who happens to be the nephew of a woman who was in a very serious relationship with Nile Kinnick. We talk a little bit about Charlie Jones and Tyrone Tracy over at Purdue, and finish with highlighting a Highschool football game happening in Kinnick stadium this Friday.

Scott is an Actor, Writer, Producer, and he's doing it all in the state of Iowa. His first big break, and what many today would recognize him for, was the viral 'Iowa Nice' video that he debuted a decade ago in 2012. That video was made to highlight the our state and some of the great things and people that Iowa has produced. Similarly with this new project, Scott sought out to deep dive, like never before, one of Iowa's true historical hero's, Iowa Football Player, and Heisman Winner, Nile Kinnick. Scott walks us through the motivation behind this upcoming Documentary, how his team went about gathering all the necessary, and in many instances newly found, information about Nile and his life, and helps us understand how truly great of a human Nile was.

Ross is a Des Moines native, and after graduating from East High school in the metro, wasn't exactly sure what was next. He talks about how he found his way into the radio business and got behind the mic, which has now led him to his own show called Sports Fanatics during the 3-6 hours on KXNO in Des Moines, Iowa. We discuss plenty more of his background, some similarities of the podcast/radio fields of entertainment, we talk Iowa football and some expectations surrounding this season, and of course touch on some of our Iowa State Fair highlights, as this episode was recorded in person at the Crystal Studios on the fairgrounds.

Bill was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1969. His Father played football for the Hawks, eventually earning his degree and moving on to Seton Hall Law. Bill followed in his dads footsteps as he didn't quite have a plan until after college. We talk about what those year were like, how Bill felt he was wasting his potential and never really giving a full effort, and how all of that eventually drove the change to chase big dreams. After earning his own degree is electrical engineering he moved to New York, got into oil trading, energy markets, and eventually started his own hedge fund. A belief in himself that he was capable of stepping up to the plate and hitting home runs with his work ethic allowed him to do the required jobs that would provide him the lifestyle he wanted to live. We discuss what he learned after becoming 'rich' and what he would go back and change. We talk about his memories of conditioning at Iowa, what he thinks of Kinnick stadium and the current day Game Day environment, playing poker with the best in the world, being friends with Dan Bilzerian, and a whole lot more!

On the show today is Brad Heinrichs. He is a 1997 graduate of the University of Iowa and former Hawkeye Golfer. After graduating and leaving Iowa City to pursue being an Actuary, and eventually starting his own Actuarial Firm in Fort Myers, Florida, He has now set his sights on being the head man for what hopefully becomes the Iowa Hawkeyes thriving, annual NIL source. Brad formed The Swarm Collective recently which seeks to approach the new world of college athletes making money by doing the right way. Hear how he has structed the Collective and how the Hawks will be able to profit off of their name, image, and likeness. We also dive deep into the general discussion of NIL, big money, projections, and his best ever round of Golf.

Known also as Skinny Kenny, DJ Octane, and several other nicknames from friends, Kennington as you will soon find out is an absolute grinder in the world of Sports media/journalism. A guy with the passion, dedication, desire, AND though he's only 27, the experience you would ask for when looking for someone to cover your team. Listen to his story from 12 yrs old in middle school to now 15 years later as one of the newer beat writers in the Iowa sports scene, and you will hear the love he has for the game of journalism and the work ethic bleed through his answers.

After a rare 2 week break Drake and Tyler sit down to catch up and gather themselves and the show as we round our way to 1 month our from college football. We talk a little bit about the escapades of our recent trips across the country, discuss some small bits from Big Ten media days in Indy, brush over NFL starting camp and Wirfs housing Krispy Kremes mid practice, and some other topics. We also break down what is to come in the next month including some potential for new and expanded content under the Walkon umbrella.

In part 2 of the David Eickholt sit down we get into actual Iowa Football specific Talk. What are David's biggest questions for the Hawkeyes as we get closer to the 2022 season. Some more details about the departure of Charlie Jones, and who could help fill that spot on special teams. What is our best lineup at Receiver and who fits where, and who is going to play the Cash position that has become so meaningful to the last couple renditions of Phil Parkers defense? How warm is Brian's seat as OC and how does moving to QB coach change things for this year? And finally, where are we with QB potential with Petras/Padilla/Labas but also the 2 commits' Carson May and Marco Lainez.

In Part 1 of the Eickholt sit-down we dive deeper into the world of Journalism, and specifically the Iowa landscape that David has worked himself into. What was it like his first time sitting down at a media availability to ask Fran and Kirk questions? What was his approach to build trust and rapport with coaches, staff, and players? Was it natural for him or were there struggles? What are his thoughts on the changing NIL landscape and players becoming more involved in content production and media, and does he see that as competition or a rising tide lifts all ships situation? We also get into the some of the 2020 Summer news cycle and how dicey it was as someone who produces content during that time, as well as a whole lot more.

The boys are on a short Summer break to recharge before we LOCK IN for a big upcoming season of college football. While we are away, many newer listeners have caught up on the growing back log of episodes, so we are throwing it back to one of the milestones, Episode 100 with Chad Greenway. Chad is a well known Iowa Football legend. He would make many people's Hawkeye Football Mt. Rushmore and is one of the greatest Linebackers in history to wear the black and gold. After being a crucial part of the 3 year domination period of Hawkeye football in 02' to 04' he was drafted in the first round by the Minnesota Vikings where he spent his entire NFL career. A perfect story if there ever was one. Chad talks about all of this and more including his recruitment story, Reese Morgan, stories from high school and Iowa city, and how being a Hawkeye shaped him into the man he is today post football life. Chad now lives in Minnesota with his wife and 4 daughters(future Olympians) and is an entrepreneur. His most recent venture is having a hand in a vodka company, Grey Duck Vodka. We hope you enjoy our chat with Chad.

A variety episode that includes topics of conversation such as DJK coming on the show as a guest, the Patreon heating up, 'Every Kick Counts' and how tory Taylor and other specialists around the area are using their performance on the field to help out a charitable cause, an event put on by Keith Duncan that Kluver attended, Estella's and their 5 star food, and Penn St players being extorted by some random chick, Drake's own 'What's in the golf bag', some discussion about his trip to Gatlinburg, Crumbl Flavors of the week, and a whole lot more.

Tonight we get into more thoughts on the NIL Club that is going on in Iowa City, most notably, why we aren't the ones back ending this for the Hawks, and how we plan to take over. Then we get into some Crumbl review, we discuss each of our Top 3 most influential people to our football careers, our favorite podcasts, and wrap the episode by revealing the Top 5 Shows all time for each Walkon.

In todays episode the boys recap the weekend full of events ranging from Kluver's first golf outing of the year in Grand Island, Nebraska all the way to Nashville where Drake attended the 3rd Annual KittleFest which is a backyard Summer celebration party that George throws at his compound, this year bigger and better than ever. Kevin was working this weekend. We discuss Recruiting and why the Hawks are trending upward as of the last 3-4 years. What could be the reason why the classes have been stacked a little heavier? Does Iowa have the best O-line class of '23? How will these last few classes translate to on field results? And how did Drake almost tear his ACL?

Today we get Turn Signal Kev on his way home from work to discuss the breaking news of Wednesday the "NIL Club" that the Iowa Football players have curated. We discuss the brief initial details of the what the club is about, how much it is to join, what you can expect as benefits, and our questions surrounding how the club will work from both sides of the coin. This conversation, what most people will care about, starts at the 34:30 mark and carries through the end of the episode. Before that Kev and Kluv talk the mindset of dealing with an injury, predicting the 2015 12-0 run, sleeping without AC in that summer prior, and some other random stuff.

In this episode we record on Kevin's favorite Holiday, America's Birthday, the 4th of July. However, this one isn't going like Kevin had probably hoped, Drake taps into to every Man who loves to golf dream, and the boys talk training, Kittle being Kittle, and the mindset of Drake when it comes to communication. Then we get to the meat that is the 2 new members of the Big Ten conference. USC and UCLA announced they will be joining the Big 10 in a couple years which opens an entire new can of worms for the boys to talk about. Logistics of travel, new rivalries, the odds of these teams playing well in the Midwest, does any of it even make sense? The episode concludes with discussion over PJ Fleck catching some heat recently, and an alleged arrangement that he had, that included a star player at Western Michigan.

In this episode we record late Wednesday evening, discuss the tiers of fast food burgers, Get into a discussion about Summer and Fall Camp, and eventually land on a tweet from the boys at DRF Sports that poses the question: Top 5 Greatest Hawkeye Football Players of All Time. This sends us into arguments over Nile Kinnick, comparing Eras, Why Wirfs isn't in the discussion with Scherff and Gallery, and a whole lot more. We finish with pondering where we would fall in the all time complete list of Iowa players ranked first to last.

The boys catch up after a long weekend that saw Drake and Kluver both attend weddings, and now has the podcast home basing out of Indianapolis for the week. Mullets are on the loose, multiple chicken coops are in play, Dallas Clark knows about the WUW, Drake was touching Josh Allen, Kevin got a personal letter from KF, Keegan Murray is the highest ever drafted Hawkeye, and a whole lot more

Kevin works late, and Drake ditches the podcast for something called Tight End University, so Kluver is left to fend for himself. Luckily friend of the Show David Eickholt hops on to save the day, and the 2 get into some relevant recruiting news, which young guys can play early, and the chances Iowa lands a big fish close to home.

One of the more odd vibes on a podcast that we have had in a while, Drake was late because he was selling his black market equipment, and he was in a bad mood. We talk about being rated the best podcast in the world, or something like that, and then we bring up a picture from the Rose Bowl of the 2015 season.. which takes us down what can only be described as a rabbit hole of despair. We bring up clips and commentate on some of the most sad moments of our career.

Tim grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and attended Millard North High School and is the 'baby' of a family of 3 brothers. While he stands at 6'8 275 present day, he graduated high school 100 lbs lighter at the same height which led to his recruitment for college football being delayed. He attended D2 Neb. Omaha before eventually ending up at Northern Illinois for 4 years, which later blossomed into a 5 year stint bouncing around the National Football League. He majored in organizational/corporate communication and later Kinesiology, and after retiring from football now has settled in as the Director of Strength & Performance at Nashville MMA East, which happens to be where Drake trains his Jiu jitsu.

Who's to blame, What can be done to fix it, does there need to be regulation, and where it does it stop?

Lots to talk about.. obviously.. as Jordan is one of the most common place names in Iowa Sports as of the last decade.

The 2 reminisce on memories from their 3 years together as well.

Ricky was born and raised in Mentor, Ohio and grew up a Big Ten Football guy.

Ricky was sold on the Black and Gold and joined the Hawkeyes in the 2006 recruiting class.After taking the reigns of the Offense early in 2008, he went on to have a 3 year career for the Hawkeyes that stands to this day as one of the best ever for a Hawkeye QB.

We talk about the disappointment of the Offensive struggles and how to potentially make things better. Who do we believe should be playing QB for the hawks, what grade do we give Brian Ferentz, and what is wrong with this line? Does this start to cause friction on the locker room on opposing sides of the ball? And if so who steps up to do something about it? What does that do for the culture of the team. We also discuss how a successful season still is reach for the Hawks, and a whole lot more.

In part one Drake and Tyler discuss the ins and outs of playing Wisconsin. Camp Randall, the 3-4 defense, why they give Iowa fits, the physicality of the game and more. They also talk about why this game is the perfect one coming out of the Bye week and the key stats to Saturdays matchup, which hinge on how well the defenses have done with turnovers this year. We talk a little bit about KFs Tuesday presser and finish with conversation about getting KF and other coaches on the podcast and us walking in on media days.Kevin hops on for part 2 to discuss his own thoughts on some of the same concepts covered with Drake. He gives his insight into the defensive mindset when facing Wisconsin and we talk Phil Parker vs the Badgers, as well as our 2 Thorpe award semi finalists in Hankins and Moss. We share a clip from Petras talking about what Pottebaum means to the Hawkeyes and then dive into more details. We finish with Kevin's final thoughts heading into Saturday and Wards winners of course.

We are back for some roundtable discussion. As the Hawks rested on Saturday the rest of country saw plenty of excitement as multiple top 10 teams were beaten including Penn St at home vs Illinois in 9, count them, 9 Over times. We discuss the new over time rule, if it was safe to put Clifford out there on the field, and the implications this has on the rest of the B1G race this year. We talk about Bielema and his comments on his players from earlier in the week and how its never a cake walk when you play a conference game. We discuss why a big time WR recruit ie. Kyler Kasper would want to come play for Iowa, as Drake was on site as part time recruiting coordinator for the Hawks this weekend in AZ. Some NIL discussion leaks in as well as Big E adopting us as his sons. All of that and more on 261

LeShun played running back for the Hawks in the '13 class through 2016. We catch up with LeShun to find out what has been going on in his life since retiring from playing in 2018. He tells us about his new ventures in coaching AND podcasting and speaks on dad life. We dive into the 2021 Iowa Hawkeyes, most specifically the offense and go deep into the struggles, why our offensive line isn't up to standard, and more. He tells us if 11th in the country is too high, too low, or fair... and we go over some Wards Winners betting thoughts for the weekend in the Big Ten.

Iowa dropped their first game of the season, and it hurts for all of Hawkeye nation. Come grieve with the Walkons and lets have some Hawk therapy trying to figure out how we turn this thing around. We identify what we believe the problem to be on Offense. Hint, it isn't the QB this time around, and try to pinpoint how they get better from here. We also talk Defense as Kevin tells us why its much easier said than done when it comes to defending Purdue and David Bell(he just scored again). We talk about plenty more as well before we finish with discussion of how this will sit in the minds and hearts of the players as they enter a much needed Bye week for themselves.

Hawkeye Alum, and current WWE Champion, Ettore 'Big E' Ewen joins the show. After an electric Saturday of appearances on Fox Big Noon Kickoff, A mid game promo, and finishing his night at Wilder V Fury in Vegas, E sits down to have a chat with the boys! He talks about how he found his way to Iowa City by pure chance, dealing with injuries that ended up derailing his football career, and experiencing the 'best and worst' of times. We talk his crazy feats of strength, winning national powerlifting competitions, and working out with John Cena and Roman Reigns. Then we quickly cover his time in Pro Wrestling from start to finish and the crazy things he has experienced in the last 12 years. Steve Manders gets a mention, we talk George Kittle and his love for the sport, and he lets us know his thoughts on The Swarm in Kinnick vs a WrestleMania entrance! All of this and more!

We sit down to preview Purdue, but it really isn't heavily Boilermaker focused in this one. We have a cool discussion into the X's and O's of the Matt Hankins 4th down stop from Saturday and how that could have potentially gone very bad for the Hawks. We also offer our opinions on the Ferentz/Franklin media comments about the injuries being real or fake.. Its like that one dress optical illusion, is it blue or pink? We also talk about some of the mindset of knowing you are 'supposed to win' and what that feels like week in and week out. Kevin was in a heated HOA meeting, we need to make Franklin the Turtle shirts, and Drake seeks Phil Parkers approval.. Plus as always we have Wards Winners. All of that and more!

90+ minutes of Hawkeye content. Those Hawkeyes, your Hawkeyes, are ranked #2 in the nation right now and we break down the ENTIRE game from Saturday where Iowa overcame Penn State 23-20. It was a week that felt like a month and it culminated in the best game Kinnick has seen in decades. The boys sit down to discuss every part of Saturday from Ettore 'Big E' Ewen giving the nation a "Hawks By A Million' and basting our brand into outer space, to the Injury issues that seemed to plague Penn State at the perfect, most opportune times. We talk Offensive struggles especially early in the game, Iowa getting 4 more interceptions, Clifford getting hurt, Nico's big catch, and everything in between. What a weekend it was, now sit back and debrief it all with us, the Walkons.

Drake and Tyler talk some Penn St jokes, and what it was like to play in big games, from the feeling of that week leading into Saturday to the Tunnel walk and everything in between. They talk managing the emotion and Drake gives his keys to the game. We also give some updates on flags, sleepers for the NICU, and merchandise coming down the line. In the second half of this episode Kevin joins the show and talks us through what it was like for him in weeks where the game was just 'bigger'. Kevin describes what the time at the hotel was like before a game, and we talk about the 'business trip' mindset. We discuss if we think that this era of Hawkeye Football is pushing to take over the West Division and become the team to beat for good. We also discuss Iowa's upcoming 'biggest recruiting weekend' ever, and if this Saturday alone could actually play a vital role in shaping the future of Iowa football. We finish with Wards Winners and our final thoughts on the matchup.

The Hawks dismantled the Terps last Friday 51-14. This team now sits at #3 in the country and has all the expectations in the world placed upon them. They control their destiny in the West by a wide margin, and much of the division has questions to answer before they can even think about the B1G title game. The Offense took many steps forward, highlighted by Arland Bruce, Progress by Petras, and some O-line stability. The Defense continued their run of dominance with the most impressive outing yet. 5 interceptions and a complete shut down of what was thought to be a top offense in the country. We talk about all of this and more along with some fun comparisons to the 2015 team as we try to limit ourselves from looking to far ahead. This is a big week, and that is an understatement.

Drake rejoins the show after his mysterious absence on Mondays episode and he actually brings some really good analysis on what he thinks is best for the Iowa Offense right now, the O-line specifically. We do some funny current event stuff, the Niemanns jersey swapped, an OSU player quit mid game, and you could walk on at Arizona this year! We also read some more podcast reviews. We talk about the vertical passing game opening up and if we think that has something to do with practice progression from Spencer Petras. Then, Dylan Spilko joins us from out East, he is the Top Deputy Editor or the Testudo Times, the Maryland school publication, and offers his insight on Terrapin personnel, and helps us better understand the matchup ahead on Friday night. We finish with Ward's Winners and an in the dumps Kevin, who just wants to win some bets.

What is wrong with the Hawks!?! Well, potentially nothing.. consider that? Or maybe there are some issues that need to be cleaned up. We talk about it all right here on 252 the CSU recap. After talking down the trap game concept, it looked like the Hawks overlooked the Rams, we discuss why we believe that is not the case, and give our reasons why it was such a slow start offensively against a 'lesser' team. We also break down why the Defense, who has looked like world beaters through this point in the season, looked to be lacking on Saturday... was that really the case? We discuss the state of the fanbase and why what we feel emotionally right now is being felt by PLENTY of teams that are ranked across the country and why we shouldn't let the number in front of our name fool us into unrealistic expectations.

The guys discuss what the Hawks face as challenges moving in to week 4, which includes but is not limited to the Rams from CSU. They talk vertical passing game progression, run game, the Hawkeyes scoring defense, and what this game 'should' look like. They also talk Spencer Lee on Bussin with the Boys, Charlie Jones and Lou Malnatis pizza, and Josey Jewell's season ending injury. They recall the night of the Penn St game 2016 from Kickoff through falling asleep at 2:30 am, Walmart guy story is retold, and Ward's Winners is back for Week 4. They also answer some questions from the fans, and what is the better brownie, the middle or the edge?

Today we recap the Kent State game. Lots of Petras talk. Is he really our best option? Why would we keep someone better on the bench? Is the play calling limiting his down field throws or is a lack of separation by our receivers? Is it both or neither? We try to figure it out. The run game got going finally and T good looked great behind an offensive line that finally caught some footing and consistency. We also discuss how games like this, CSU, and others are avoided as 'Trap Games' from the inside and why perspective as a fan compared to the inside on a weekly basis is vastly different. Pottebaum is the total package, the Defense saw a couple broken coverages, and plenty more.

Kevin and Tyler give their final thoughts on ISU as Kevin makes his return to the pod back from vacation on Monday. The focus eventually shifts to Kent St and what challenges the Flashes pose for the Hawkeyes this upcoming Saturday. We read a couple podcast reviews that are very entertaining, we talk NIL deals and why Caseys needs to hand Riley Moss the keys to their brand, and we briefly touch on what COULD BE with Penn St coming to Iowa City is a months time. How does the Kent St up tempo offense really affect a defense? What does the offense do to find rhythm in this game? Should Iowa actually be worried about a trap game? These questions and more PLUS the segment everyone hates to love, Wards Winners Week 3.

The streak extends to 6 for the Iowa in the CyHawk series. Saturday boasted the biggest game between ISU and Iowa in the history of the matchup and the it didn't disappoint if you were wearing black and gold. We all know that through 2 games the defense has played out of their mind, we discuss why that may be the case and why their confidence will only continue to grow. Special teams was huge on Saturday, even more than people think, and we talk about why Tory Taylor and Charlie Jones are literally changing the game for the Hawkeyes. Spencer Petras took another step or 2 in proving that he is the guy. We talk about the 3 throws that end the discussion on if he is a true gamer or not, however why is he taking sacks on 3rd down? We have a couple answers to that question and explain why we are optimistic. We address the teams glaring weakness in the offensive line and what we think Schott returning to the lineup could do for production. Ohio St. lost to Oregon and showed for the 2nd straight week that they are not the team that OSU usually puts on the field, and this of course leaves the top of the Big Ten more open than usual. We talk the Hawks resume, best in the country, and why this team could be special. Kevin makes an All-Time cameo from his Las Vegas hotel room, Drake rants of course, the F-bomb fund is fully loaded, and the Walkons have a HUGE bounce back week in betting picks for week 2!

A THICK Cy-Hawk preview. This episode has a lot going down as we react on the fly to something serious that happens minutes before recording the episode. We talk about Gameday coming to Ames, we talk about both teams being top 10 in the country, and talk about what Iowa will NEED to do if they want to be successful this weekend against the Clowns. We also discuss the 'Superbowl' concept and how this rivalry is viewed by every party involved. We cut to a guest appearance from Dan Pomeroy, lifelong Hawkeye, Walkon Army member, and all around great dude, who shares his perspective on the matchup which he has made for 43 straight meetings between the teams. He also shares some stories and gives his thoughts on the Iowa program. We finish with Wards Winners, stay tuned for the official picks on our social pages on release day.

In todays recap episode we discuss the big opening day win for the Hawks. Iowa completed a 34 to 6 victory in dominating fashion over the 17th ranked Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, but even in such triumph there remains many unanswered questions. Why are the specialists leading the swarm? What are our thoughts on how each unit played this weekend? Did Petras looked as if he has improved? Did he even get the chance to show real rhythm and flow? Does it look like the young offensive line will be enough to dominate this year? Did the D-line play sufficient football to compliment the back 7? Is there anyone in the country better than that back 7? haha All of these questions answered and more as well as tiny tidbits of speculation as we look forward to Week 2.

We made it! Hawkeye football is finally here, and we have a ton to talk about. We sit down to discuss Bishop Sycamore, the fake school that made it to ESPN, Pat McCaff striking a deal with Pancheros and taking full advantage of NIL. We talk about the NFL Hawkeyes who made the 53 man rosters, some surprises of who did and didn't make a squad. Then we cross over with Scott Caulfield of CrimsonCast, to learn more about the Indiana Hoosiers. Finally we knock out our first Ward's Winners segment of the year and make some betting picks for the weekend.

Its Game week baby! And B1G football has already begun with the showdown of average, Nebraska and Illinois. We go deep on the first big ten action of the year and discuss why Nebraska cant gain traction, why Illinois has a lot to be excited about, and where both of those programs could be heading. Plenty of Husker jokes fill this episode as well as some bookkeeping in the front that includes Patron Fantasy Football league, A big time announcement for WUW brand, and the details regarding our newest HBAM flags for sale. We debate breakfast as well, and end the pod discussing 'Good not being good enough' for this years Hawkeye team, and why Indianapolis could be seeing some black and gold real soon.

Hawkeye Football is just 10 days away and joining us on the show today is Micah Lee. Micah is our 2nd featured Walkon Army member to join the show after our episode with James in April was a hit earlier this year. We talk favorite Iowa moments all time, A fans perspective on who should take over the program after KF retires, what the new 'Alliance' means for conference realignment and more. Micah also brought some great questions like how a program manages building culture from the ground up, what truly matters most when it comes to winning games, and have we ruffled any feathers or burned bridges due to starting the podcast?

This episode starts with non football related conversation as we catch up with each other about our personal athletic endeavors and then turns to Hawkeye related content. A Jujitsu story from Drake, why Kevin won't be powerlifting for much longer, and the guys hype me up for my 20k race next weekend.

Drew is from Giltner Nebraska, and found his way to Iowa City after the Huskers overlooked him during recruiting. Drew, as you can hear in his voice, is pretty good at rolling with the punches and continuing to take life head on, sometimes too literally. Like the time he was sideswiped by someone while driving his moped and ended up on their windshield, an accident that totaled the moped but didn't kill it as Drew plans to turn it into a go-kart. That project and 70 more are sitting on the farm with Drew as he and his Wife Kali, a former Iowa Basketball player herself, are now back in Nebraska on the family farm. We talk about Drew seeing the field early, his earliest memories of him lifting weights, graduating HS with 10 other people, and being a "Winner". We also discuss the infamous part of Drew's college career where his senior season was cut short and he was denied another year by the NCAA. He craps all over CrossFit, tells us about his diet, what it was like training to be an NFL O-lineman post college, and a whole lot more.Learn more about your ad choices.

They set up and tear down practice, they prepare the locker room and equipment for game days. They transport equipment to the stadium, they drive guys back and forth from the hotel during camp, they assist with meals, and so much more. Colin is one of the truly good dudes that spent time as a manager at Iowa and it was a joy to talk about all of this on the podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.
