Brion and Nick interview former Hawkeye and backup NFL and CFL quarterback, Ricky Stanzi. We discuss his journey from Ohio to Iowa, and how he got his opportunity to play at Iowa. He discussed his mindset after a "pick six" and how he learned to fight back from his Dad. He wondered how "love it or leave it" would have been different with today's social media, and what he's doing these days to promote movement and reduce physical pain.
