The Hawkeye Huddle

So much to cram into an hour long show. The boys do their best to touch on all of it while paying fair attention to football as the regular season is now in the past and Michigan awaits in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Pre-empted by Drake Basketball on the Radio, the boys put together a technology challenged but packed podcast to discuss Iowa's Big Ten West Championship and all other things in the Hawkeye sports world.

So much happening in so many sports! A packed show with football, basketball, women's basketball, soccer, field hockey, and women's wrestling all part of the discussion.

A show that could have used two hours with the football win over Northwestern and the Wrigley experience, both hoops teams kicking off the season, field hockey into the NCAAs and a Big Ten Championship for the Soccer team.

A bye week for football certainly isn't boring as news on the Iowa Coaching Staff takes center stage. It's time for hoops to crank up. And the other fall sports begin to wrap up with their conference tournaments.

So much to unpack after the frustrating and emotional loss of Floyd Of Rosedale to Minnesota. The boys don't hold back in their opinions of both the crushing inappropriately applied official's call that cost Cooper Dejean Hawkeye immortality AND the coaching situation that has reached critical mass.

The Hawks have moved to 5-1 on the gridiron but the fans feel mired in mediocrity. Is that fair and what will happen at Wisconsin next weekend?

Iowa wins another game with a sputtering offense and stellar special teams & defense. Purdue is ahead.

It seems the Hawkeye football team is becoming less competitive in big games and Saturday night's shut-out at the hands of Penn State was no different. Will Iowa rebound?

There is also some good news on the hoops recruiting front for both the men and the women on this abbreviated Hawkeye Huddle.

The Hawkeye offense is suddenly run heavy but Penn State looms on the horizon. The boys wrap up Western Michigan and get you set for the tilt at Beaver Stadium in University Park in State College in the Happy Valley in the Nittany Mountains of Pennsylvania.
