This week Marchie and Levi sit down to talk about the keys to the game for Iowa State to pull of another huge road upset in Norman over the Oklahoma Sooners. Can the defense contain Jalen Hurts and force him into mistakes? Will the offense rededicate itself to the running game?

After a disappointing loss to Oklahoma State, we sit down and take a look at what went wrong last week. How much responsibility falls on the defense, Brock Purdy, and the playcalling? Then, we give our midseason grades to each position group. Linebackers and tight ends get an A from both Levi and Marchie, but which position groups received poor grades?

After a week off, Levi, Cole, and Marchie are back to talk about Iowa State's three game winning streak, and preview this weekend's game against Oklahoma State with Phillip Slavin of Land Grant Gauntlet, Cowboys Ride for Free, and the Ten12 Podcast. However, before all of the football talk, the guys give their holiday power rankings, and let's just say Levi and Cole like different holidays.

This week, Levi, Cole, and Marchie sit down to discuss Iowa State's big win over TCU, and discuss how the Cyclones can use that momentum to power them to another win at West Virginia in this year's Riot Bowl. Will Johnnie Lang step up and cement himself as the primary running back? Will either of the freshman get touches?

To start the day, we talked about Twitter etiquette, and blocking people vs. muting them. Which do you prefer? Next we recap the Baylor game, and talk about why it makes us sad. We try to find some silver linings...or something. Then, Melissa Triebwasser from TCU's SBNation site Frogs O' War joined use to preview this weekend's matchup.

This Levi, Cole, and Marchie breakdown the UL-Monroe game and the 72 offensive explosion from the Cyclones. The win over the Warhawks showed a glimpse of what this offense can do at full capacity, and what the future may look like with the second team playing the entire fourth quarter. While the performance was impressive overall, the Cyclones certainly weren't perfect, so we take a look at a few of those weaknesses and talk about what those could mean for this weekend's matchup with Baylor, and the rest of the season going forward.

Then, we talk about this weekend's matchup with Baylor and how the Cyclone defense will look to stop the Baylor offense. Baylor's been impressive from a statistical standpoint against a slew of inferior teams, but did struggle last week in the second half of their win over Rice. Will the Cyclones' stout defense be enough to take down the Bears in Waco? Will the offense continue its hot streak?

Levi, Cole, and Marchie are back to discuss the disappointing end to this year's CyHawk game, and why there's a lot of hope left for the rest of the season despite the disappointing loss. Then, we talk about what our takeaways mean for the rest of the season, as well as in this weekend's matchup with UL-Monroe.

 Finally we talk a little about the new "development district" Jamie Pollard revealed earlier this week, and what the implications are for the athletic department as whole. Unsurprisingly, this conversation gave way to discussion about what restaurants, bars, and shops should occupy the new commercial space, which gave way to discussion about fast food and chicken after Cole proclaimed that Whataburger was "not that good."

Yikes.

After a closer than expected season opener against UNI, Levi, Cole, and Marchie are here to let everybody know that everything's gonna be okay. We break down the game against the Panthers and talk about a few things we saw that could be potential indicators for the rest of the season. 

We capped off the episode by taking a stab at picking this weekend's games, though Marchie is insistent that he will never try to pick an Iowa State game ever again.

This week, Marchie and Levi took a look at few of the major storylines around the football world, including our preview of Iowa State's first football game against Northern Iowa. 

First, we talk about last week's crazy, but ugly Florida-Miami game. It was interesting to watch, but how does the overall poor play of both teams affect perception of each team going forward? 

Next, we talk about Andrew Luck's shocking retirement this past weekend. With him and Rob Gronkowksi both retiring early due to injuries taking away their love of the game, could this be a part of a trend of players retiring early to prevent as much long term pain as possible? Could either of them eventually return to the NFL?

Finally, we give our preview of Iowa State's game against Northern Iowa this weekend. What can we expect from the running backs and wide receivers? What quantifies a successful first game? Is a win enough, or do the Cyclones to blow out the Panthers?
