Ben and Eric start by creating a shameless shtick which is little more than a ploy to generate comments before diving into the Week One action. They ponder what positives to take away for Minnesota from their 14-point loss to OSU and the impact of losing Mohamed Imbrahim for the season. 

Next up they revel in the beauty and majesty of Iowa's win over Indiana and acknowledge the splendor of Iowa's defense. Eric then tells Ben and Hawkeye fans writ large to chill out about Spencer Petras. 

Finally, after a brief acknowledgement of Minnesota's game against the Miami Redhawks, they discuss the recent history and localized weirdness and intensity of the Iowa-Iowa State matchup, closing with their predictions for perhaps the most epic Iowa-ISU game of all-time.
