Chad & Erik recap the week two win over St. X and get you prepared for the clash against the Eagles. Erik talks with senior middle linebacker Brock Thomason but dropped the ball on interviewing WR Isaac Smith. You'll have to wait another week to get the dirt on Chad!

Shea Spencer ONLY threw for a little over 3,100 yards 🤫

Vance Sheppert is from outside CLEVELAND. 🫣

It's less than two weeks until the players report!! So Chad and Erik thought it was time to start talking Wildcat football. It's that time of year where nobody but the coaches really knows what the team has coming back and even the coaches may not have a full picture of what some of the newcomers will bring. Hopefully this episode gets you excited for the season which begins in just over five weeks!!! Let us know who you think will break out this fall for the Wildcats on X (Twitter) @IWUFootballPod.

Then there were eight. The Wildcats playoff déjà vu

The Battle for the Red Banner starts for the Wildcats this week. The guys give an in-depth breakdown of the Southwestern Moundbuilders and the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Association. Fred talks to LB coach Devin Bacchus who gives an interesting perspective having played for the 'Cats and now coaching. Then in the Senior Spotlight, Fred talks to De'Veontae Cunningham and Hayden Renier. Happing Thanksgiving and let's get that W.

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.
