The Hawkeyes are on a bye this week, but there’s plenty to talk about on the podcast. Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo look back at Iowa’s convincing win over Illinois that didn’t feel like a convincing win. Then we dive into the Hawkeyes at the halfway point in the season and look at what’s went right, what’s went wrong, and the outlook for the final six games of the 2017 season. Then we dive into the recruiting trail with a look at where things stand in football and basketball recruiting, plus we preview Iowa Basketball media day, which comes up on Monday.
