IWU Wildcat Roundup

Two GREAT interviews to help you through a Saturday with no Wildcat game. First up, Chad goes deep with senior QB Austin Meyers. the two have a unique relationship as Austin grew playing football for coach Smith. Then Fred talks with coach John Dutton about the lessons football taught him about the game of life. Enjoy and remember the Wildcats week two opponent will be known by the end of today.

The Wildcats have clinched the MSFA Mideast Championship and don't have to "share it" with anyone. Listen as the guys break down the title clinching win over Lawrence Tech. Then get ready for the Quest for the Red Banner as the guys discuss our rankings and records. Fred talks to 3 of the 4 senior captains and Jacob Lopez lands in the Senior Spotlight. Also, for the second time this week we will have "bonus" material in Wildcat Overtime. Two long form interviews that would have stretched the length of the episode to well over two hours. Look for Overtime sometime this weekend.

It's the regular season finale and senior day as the Wildcats host the Lawrence Tech Blue Devils. Listen in for the guys thoughts on last week's win at Siena Heights and then hear a trio of interviews from Fred. Erik, Chad, and Fred also get you ready for this week's game against LTU.

Are you ready for some football?!??!!?! We are coming back off the bye to face a program that has given us fits. Concordia University Ann Arbor is the only team we have played more than once with a winning record against us. We are 1-4 against them all time but 1-0 at Wildcat Stadium. They are the only Mid-States program to beat us on the field since the 2020-21 spring season. To get you ready, Erik talks to senior offensive lineman Grant Foes and Fred talks to senior wideout and special teams stud Carter Huffman. Safeties coach Koby Orris also joins Fred to talk about his time as a player and coach. Join Fred, Chad, and Erik as they get you ready for the stretch run.

Fred & Erik wrap another dominant performance against that school out east while Chad travels to volleyball. Then it's bye week so the players have the week off from talking to us also. Fred sits down for a great conversation with the coaching staff. Each coach shares a little about the program. No game this Saturday so no game to review next week, We will get more interviews than normal next week. Enjoy the weekend.

There is just so many great things happening that they don't all fit in one podcast. So for the BIG Homecoming showdown with that team from out east, Wildcat Roundup has gone into overtime. If you like this format let us know on "X". @IWUfootballpod is where you can give us your opinion.

Two teams that score a LOT of points take the field in Wildcat Stadium this weekend as the team from across the county comes to town. Join Fred & Erik as they break down the weekly record-breaking offensive explosion at Marian last weekend. DE Micah Roberts and OG Ethan Stewart talk to us in the Senior Spotlight. Finally, Erik and Fred get you ready for the Trojans. No Position Group on this pod, but come back for Wildcat Overtime as Fred speaks to the QBs.

Last season, they tied for a conference title. This weekend they meet as non-conference opponents, but the result is still important to both programs. The Wildcats travel to Indy to take on perennial MSFA power Marian in a inter-division match up. This one is for bragging rights and playoff seeding. Fred, Chad, and Erik recap last weekend's dominating victory over St. X. Fred talks to the three relative newcomers in the running backs room. Fred talks to senior WR Nick Shirley and Chad jumps in to interview the "other" Bays in the program senior LB Luke Bays. We'll also get you ready for Marian with history and records on this week's roundup.

For just the 2nd time this season, the Cats have a home game this weekend!! Before heading back to the road, the team hosts perennial playoff participant St. Xavier. Chad is enjoying "the Road" so much he didn't make it in this week so Erik and Fred take on previewing the Cougars by themselves. Fred talks to a room full of corners before speaking with seniors Tristen Hayes and Jaylen Brown. Hope everyone is headed to Wildcat Stadium this weekend as we will get you ready for this Battle of the Cats!
