Number 1: Iowa Football is BACK w/ David Eickholt | WUW 708
Tyler Kluver and David Eickholt kick off the first Kluver & Eickholt Power Hour of the 2026 season, announcing another year of their weekly KF Press Review show and reacting to fall camp and the open practice. They break down the QB1 race, noting Jeremy Hecklinski’s rough early camp before a near-perfect open practice while Hank Brown struggled, and they also highlight freshman four-star Tate Bessinger’s natural talent and processing. The conversation turns to Iowa’s “three-three-six” schedule structure and the brutal three-game stretch vs Michigan, Ohio State, and at Washington, debating which is most winnable and the need to name a starter by Week 2. They discuss defensive concerns (especially defensive tackle, corner depth, and possible NFL-to-college return chatter), special teams turnover, and growing optimism about Tim Lester’s offense, improved receiver depth, a deep RB room, and DJV’s ceiling at tight end.

Number 2: Jeremiah Sirles Helps Us Preview Football Season | WUW 711
The episode opens with Sirles discussing the emotional toll of NFL cut day from an agent’s perspective, including clients making 53-man rosters, injuries, and players being cut after waiver claims, with specific frustration aimed at the Dolphins’ roster churn. He compares the old preseason/cut-day format to today’s and shares his own rookie cut-day experience. The conversation shifts to ideal fall football weekends, the best stretch of the season, and critiques of the college football calendar extending deep into January. They break down Nebraska’s win-total outlook, key games, Matt Rhule’s seat, and what “progress” should look like, plus Iowa’s schedule, offensive line, and QB competition going into the opener.

The group promotes an upcoming Fry Fest booth and merch, then dives into Iowa football: Kirk Ferentz says the QB competition between Hank Brown and Heklinski has swung back and forth, specialists are all new, and punter/kicker situations remain uncertain.

Number 4: Dissecting the QB 'Pitch Count' w/ David Eickholt | NIU Press Review
The Kluver and Eickholt Power Hour returns and we start by discussing Iowa basketball recruiting, including five-star point guard Daughtry’s official visit during the Cy-Hawk game and another 6’10" recruit visiting later in the month, plus brief WNBA/FIBA talk. They run through FanDuel Big Ten win totals (Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin at 6.5) and project Nebraska under with a tough schedule while leaning Minnesota and Wisconsin over. For Iowa football, they emphasize concerns about PAT/field goal consistency, optimism about punting and returns, and the ongoing QB competition between Jeremy Hacklinski and Hank Brown, with both expected to play and Hacklinski viewed as having an edge. They also cover Cael Winter winning the starting center job over Cade Peeper (who stays at guard), strong OL depth, RB room confidence, FCS transfer development, early-season goals, bold predictions (Lutmer punt return TD; Tony Diaz scoring first TD), and Brandon Scherff as the 2026 ANF honoree, before promoting HawkeyeInsider/Swarmcast’s live schedule.

Number 5: Alternate Uniform Tease? + Hawks We're Most Excited To Watch | WUW 710
We kick off this episode of the show discussing the emotional shift into “game week mode,” NIL money making college feel more professional, and a long detour into parenting (kids’ “zoomies,” sharing cookies, and hiding ice cream to protect bedtime). They rave about how fun high school football is after attending an Ankeny vs. Waukee Northwest game, joke about betting lines, and note Iowa as a 31.5-point favorite with a 45.5 over/under on FanDuel. They share optimism about Iowa’s offensive weapons but emphasize winning the line of scrimmage, finding a true starting quarterback, and playing clean, detailed football vs. Northern Illinois. They preview the season-defining Michigan/Ohio State/Washington stretch, react to a teased Hawkeye “Darkness Belongs to the Hunter” reveal, run through NFL roster/cut news for former Hawkeyes, and mention upcoming Fry Fest and Patreon perks. And- what can we really learn from this week 1 game? Who are we most excited to watch play for the Hawks this year? If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!
