The Litecast is home from Sin City recapping a weekend in the desert and an absolute domination of UNLV by the Cyclones. Matt, Austin, and Dylan break down the game and try to find meaning for the rest of the season. Maybe we just needed to beat somebody really badly for the confidence boost. Up next is a trip to Waco to play Baylor. We've crunched the numbers and their schedule so far is terrible. But the Bears should not be taken lightly, and we know the players to look out for. The New Big 12 is continuing to win games and the Pac-12 decidedly is not so we are working to brand ourselves as better than the Alliance. Plus, a little conspiracy corner comes out as we ask the question: are we sure the Big 12 won't raid the Pac-12? Lastly, we make picks for the upcoming college football weekend. Shoutout to our sponsor Es Tas Bar & Grill and to all the Cyclones who took over Las Vegas!

The Litecast is back to recap an absolute dud of a CyHawk game. Matt, Dylan, and Austin break down when they knew things were going wrong, how badly the in-game experience was, and eventually segue into some bigger picture things for the rest of the season. Is there a QB controversy right now? Do we have concerns about Iowa State's ability to compete in the Big 12? And just what will it take to get the offense back on track?

Elsewhere, the Big 12 made the additions of Cincinnati, BYU, Houston, and UCF official. Who is the most exciting new additon? Iowa State is sure to create a rivalry with someone. And these new schools give us an opportunity to reminisce on some Big 12 legends (not leaders) like Taysom Hill, Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, Jimmer Fredette, and more. We finish with a visit to the Wide Right moneyline because the poor start to football season isn't limited to just Iowa State on the field. Thanks to Es Tas Bar & Grill for sponsoring. Stay safe and gamble responsibly if you'll be in Vegas this weekend.

This week, Levi, Marchie, and JD are back to preview the CyHawk game, and dig into the player perspective of what it means to be playing in a big game like this. What should Iowa State be looking to do to improve on their offensive output from the UNI game against an even better defense? What I can Iowa State's defense do to shut down a somewhat limited Iowa offense?

As part of a special podcast this week, we welcomed Josh Pate from 247Sports, and host of The Late Kick. We talked about his show, why he's become such a big Iowa State fan over the years, and why he's so excited to make his first trip to Iowa to watch the CyHawk matchup. This interview was a lot of fun, and we're thankful that Josh was able to come on to gush about our mutual love for Iowa State.

It's a loaded brand new episode of the Litecast for rivalry week! Matt, Austin, and Dylan start by breaking down what we saw on the field in Week 1 against UNI. There were a lot of things to improve, but some stuff we liked as well. Eventually we landed in a good place. From there, we did a little bit of breakdown on Iowa's win over Indiana and how we see this weekend's game playing out.

ESPN's Chris Fallica, aka The Bear, aka the Unofficial Mayor of Ames joins the show to talk all things College GameDay. We got a rating on Ames as a host, what it's like having Lee Corso back in person, how the host gets selected each weekend, and the casual fan's guide to why they should watch on Saturday. We also got to the bottom of Bear's affinity for Iowa State which goes surprisingly far back to the 90s. Of course we had to ask about Matt Campbell and how he's perceived, plus if Kirk Herbstreit is cool with our fans again. Lastly, we had to talk some gambling and get Bear's guide to surveying the board on a given weekend, plus a little preview for what he likes on Saturday.

Thanks to our sponsor Es Tas Bar & Grill for making this happen! Go Cyclones!
