I covered one of derek wieskopf’s game this past season against solon. He started on defense and offense and was the team’s starting punter. His team’s starting qb got hurt and then he played qb. I think he sat for a total of 5 snaps that whole game

Go hawks

This was great: thank you for taking the time to bring so much to the discussion, appreciate your passion and dedication!

Absolutely the smartest and most insightful commentary out there

I'm so pumped these guys are back! Keep up the great work. 👍

Would love to see a breakdown on the Iowa offense from the spring game Btw best Iowa podcast, guys know ball

I am gonna call this right now. Godfrey is going to be a Cash, and will make the league.

My question for the talk about Anderson would be this. How does he compare to a Matt Roth?

My ass is still chapped from the way we treated Fant.

Grew up in Iowa, retired to Texas, thanks boys for a GREAT podcast and great content keeping me connected to our Hawks. I look forward to each and every show! 5 STARS!

We so back😈

Weisskopfs track numbers CANNOT be overstated. He could go ANYWHERE he wanted as a decathlete. Not hyperbolic. You don’t see that variation of athleticism anywhere else in the country amongst high school tracksters. It’s genuinely difficult to explain just how impressive those marks are. Great listen!

Excellent guys! And your first guest, too!

Buffington ran a 4.48 and 4.50 forty at Iowa's camp.

The fellas are back

Glad we’re back boys good pod👍

We are doing a Q&A segment for every pod going forward. If you have a question you’d like answered related to recruiting or the upcoming season, please comment. Also, if you have a favorite player in this class, we’d love to hear who it is and why.

THEY ARE BACK! Best Iowa pod out there

This is by far my favorite Iowa show. So much insight from these fellas.

Hell yeah, Welcome back boys 🦅😎👍

Welcome back Brothers!!!

You guy's retired?

Other team fan's thoughts on Brian Ferentz departure: sucks, now Iowa might actually score on us. Would say tho, BF was not the right hire even back then. IMHO, head coaches shouldn't hire their kids as coordinators or even position coaches unless and until that kid has been well-established in the league, ON OTHER TEAMS with no daddy connection, for years. It's a disservice to all involved. This would have been like Jim Harbaugh making Jay Harbaugh OC......would have been a similar embarrassment for UM as it was for Ferentz and IA.

I've watched this twice now that's not normal, big congrats on all the future success guys clearly you were meant for this. Day 1 listener

Hi man, You know someone who is a Podcaster? You see... I`m taking my skills in a new direction and planning to help someone fascinate their Reels/Shorts videos and retain audience up to the end of the videos. So I was wondering if you know someone who could use my help just like I did to Café Con Podcast and Fast Break Podcast. Thank you have a good day! 0:17

been watching the podcast all year. love it. off topic but that’s wild you guys are from Alburnett. i went to North Linn and dated a girl from Alburnett who woulda been a couple grades below you guys😂😂 i didn’t play the year you guys went to the semis though. but i’m sure my buddy who played middle linebacker and RB would probably remember you two

Fucking Trader! We built you up and let you become great and you leave. Have fun winning nothing!!!!

You guys do a great job and as a football junkie I love your perspective and insight

Congrats on the great year of podcasts, I've really enjoyed listening every show. I work in TV/Film in nyc and have been a die hard Iowa fan my whole life. If you guys need any extra help in terms of production, graphics, etc. let me know because I'd love to be involved!

Great job, guys! I’ve been loving your show all season and always look forward to your insights.

Great work gentlemen. I love your podcast - has become my favorite. Great passion, level-headed analysis based on what happens on the field and not your typical "Brian sucks" commentary. One thing I heard that I wasn't a fan of though. You are planning less Hawkeye content and more Big Ten talk? That's no bueno. Less Hawkeye discussion is never better than more Hawkeye discussion. If anything, add a B1G podcast but don't cut down to what made this great. :)

By far and away the best Iowa Football podcast out there. Love the football knowledge and analysis you guys bring! I will continue to share with others.

I love this show. Sky is the limit for what you both produce; keep it up, I’ll watch, like and share every single thing you all produce

These guys are awesome, but Im pretty sure its just one dude changing shirts and flip flopping camera angles. Lindsey Lohan Parent Trap vibes.

I had the same thought as you two about Proctor getting the year with Saban and playing against some top defensive fronts in the country. To be thrown in that early and build success and improve through out the year, I'm excited for this upcoming year.

best Iowa football podcast out there no doubt

Loved the show guys. Thanks for the breakdown

You should ranking every football season since 2013

Lastly, I appreciated your Tim Lester conversation. I was one of those that first said ho no!!! I feel better about TL as OC now. It appeared to me that Brian's coaching style was we are running it until we get it right type -- arrogant thinking (usually this style of coaching just destroys a player's confidence if it does not work especially when Iowa did not have superior offensive line talent). The announcers would summarize an opponent's weaknesses and it appeared to me that the offense did not try to exploit those weaknesses (example, go after a freshman corner). We would simply run our plays regardless of the what the opponent's defense was doing. (NO IMAGINATION) I hope Lester will game plan to exploit the opposition's weaknesses like all other teams do. I was sick of hearing Brian saying the we lining up showing run and we are letting the opposition know that we are running the ball and challenge the opposition to stop us (total BS). The Big Ten has good players and that thinking is STUPID! (It may have validity late 4th quarter and the opposition's defensive line is tired.) I also hope Lester's offense can put pressure on the opposition's offense and defense. What I am saying is the opposition knows Iowa is going to score points today you need to stop them on defense and the opposition's offense needs to take risks to compete on the scoreboard. Hopefully, Iowa has a balanced attack (Keep KF happy).

One of the biggest things to me with RPO is that it streamlines decision making. I really think Iowa coaches QBs to make the absolute best decision. But that is not always the best way to make decisions particularly when there is time pressure. A lot of offenses aren't looking for the best decision you want the QB to take the first satisfactory option.

Another question: Last season announcers do not say much about Nwankpa. While watching games, he is in on the tackle or close almost every time (he appeared to be charging hard to support the run). He made some big big hits (an advantage he has with his size). It did not appear from watching on TV (which is a limited view regarding a passing attack) teams threw the ball in his area (not challenged much). It was obvious last season teams avoided throwing at Cooper and if they did it was mostly come back routes. How did you guys view Nwankpa first full season on the field? Also, what would you expect seeing from him with a full season of experience (2024)?

Great podcast and hope you get the recognition you deserve!

I have noticed that over past few seasons that Phil Parker has put a faster defense on the field and it appears that speed has made the defense better. Years ago it seemed Iowa's defense could not stop late 4th quarter opponent offensive drives or second half come backs and Parker was the DC. What do you think? Unfortunately, the offense appears to have not increased its speed?

I appreciate you guys recognizing the KF philosophy and suggesting innovation or scheme that fits that philosophy in your analysis. Other podcasts dont exhibit that rational intelligence. Great work men, looking forward to your next podcast.

I have a strong feeling we’re getting another year of Kirk Ball in 2024. He has so much hubris. It is obvious to everyone that it’s laughably bad, but he can’t see it. Good pod.

Love the job you do. Best Hawkeye show out there.

Keep kayden. He's not worth the hype.

You requested some feedback, so I wanted to share a few thoughts. Firstly, I really enjoyed the podcast and appreciated the in-depth exploration of game strategies, as opposed to just quick reaction videos. Kudos on that front. I got a good chuckle when you mentioned Albernett-I actually hail from Center Point over 40 years ago and have spent quite a bit of time in Albernett myself. Regarding the podcast's audio quality, it's decent but could be improved. There's a slight hollow sound to it. Have you considered hanging some sound-deadening blankets just off-camera? Additionally, placing something on the back wall could help. Many KZbinrs opt for bookshelves, not just for aesthetics but also to diffuse sound. This prevents a straight reflective line for the sound to travel. This can also be achieved with various items like plants, knick-knacks, or anything to break the line.

We need a head coach more than anything. Anyway to unload Kirk’s bs salary so we can get a real head offensive coordinator.

Great podcast, very insightful.
