We get back to talk about the holiday weekend, digestive health, Santa delivering a ton of merch, a 'Walkon Weekend', the Pro Bowl Hawks, and how the NFL is played at a speed that is impossible to eliminate injuries.. and some other random items. The podcast basically falls apart when we learn mid episode that our guy Ike gets injured and carted off the field.

Zach was born in Iowa City, and grew up in Cedar Rapids before attending Drake University on scholarship to play Golf. He has since turned pro, won 12 PGA tour events, including 2 Majors, and is one of the most steady in the sport. He embodies the walk on mentality and is the perfect guest on our show. We talk about his underdog mindset, tiger chasing him down in the 2007 Masters, growing up a Hawkeye, the physical side of the being a professional golfer, the top end moments of his career and much, much more.

This episode is one of the more comical in recent memory. We start with discussion of starting our own bar, and birthday of Josey and Jesus our two saviors before announcing the specifics of our Walk On Donation to UI Children's Hospital for 2021. Then we highlight Lindys donation as well where Kevin spurs an all time idea that involves a wrestling ring. Riley Moss is going to the senior bowl and we discuss how important those all star games can be and their relevance in comparison to the combine, and how we would make the combine better. We discuss the #1 HS commit flipping to Jackson St, his NIL deal for 1.5 million, Deion Sanders, and that whole situation as well as the newest member of the Cornhusker- De'Coldest ToEvaDoIt Crawford.. real person. Then Kluver confesses to being a fan of Nebraska.. kind of. Urban Meyers time in Jacksonville has come to an end and we give our opinion on that news as well. We give an update on the Walk On Army Fantasy football league and then bounce into a couple more Q&A topics from our Discord. Will we see Petras or Padilla transfer? What Recruits are we most excited about? And what does media training look like inside of the Iowa program?

We open the podcast with an incredible business idea based on last episode, then talk signing day which is something neither of us experienced.

We have a brilliant merch idea, and create a plan for Tesla to sponsor the show, then we talk about Marco Lainez who the Hawks just recently landed as their QB in the class of 2023, who happens to be a 4 star. Then we move on to some Q&A from the Patreon, which we haven't gotten to do in a while, with a few questions that center around Bowl prep.

We discuss possible landing spots for Tyrone Tracy, mainly Purdue. Tyler Linderbaum won the Rimington trophy and we discuss our thoughts on if the Bowl game will be his last time in Black and Gold. Then we move to the topic of the night which is Tyler Goodson's decision to declare for the draft AND forgo the Citrus Bowl.

We open the pod talking about Drake's continued tummy trouble, Kevin has started slacking at work, and we provide a betting recap from Championship weekend. We get into some CFP final rankings and then discuss the possibility of ANOTHER Walkon meetup in Orlando? Stay tuned because you do not want to miss those details. We dive into some details about the Charity golf tournament that we are trying to cook up and then we get into the juicy stuff. Deuce Hogan's mom is not on the podcast but she is on Facebook and we talk all about parents on social media, the comment made from Coach Ferentz that was described as 'Slander', as well as the implications on Deuce's career moving forward. Tyrone Tracy is in the portal and we talk about his contribution as a Hawk and what he did for the program, and we react LIVE as Xavier Nwankpa, the nations top high school safety from South East Polk, made his decision while we were recording. All of this and more.

Thank you to every single one of you who came out to the meetup in Indianapolis this past weekend. It truly amazed us at what it turned into. We recap the entire day Saturday, starting with lunch, a surprise conversation with one of the coaches before the game, the meetup details, and more. We get into talking game and the hot topic of this season, Brian Ferentz. We give our thoughts on his performance Saturday as well as the 11 players who play for him, and break down why and how things went wrong. We talk about using both QBs again, the special teams down day, and how well the defense played to start the game outside of 2 big plays. All of that and more.

We start by talking about Drakes move to Nashville which he finally made, and what it took to get there. Details of our meetup in Indy are official and we make sure everyone knows where to find us, the we move into discussion the wild coaching carousel going on around the country, what it would take to turn down the Offers that Riley and Kelly are getting, Living in LA and more. This sparks conversation about KF and the stability that Iowa provides. We read some lovely podcast reviews.

In the middle we bring on Steve Deace of Bigger Ten and Michigan Podcast. He joins the show to breakdown how the Wolverines found themselves in the title game, what makes this team tick, and what the game against Iowa may look like.

In the back half we shift over to the new CFP rankings, the longest of shots at Iowa in the playoff, and some Bowl destination talk, and finish with Wards Winners.

We catch up with Tevaun about his time since graduating from Iowa in 2015. Playing professionally in Canada, and bouncing around the NFL before that. We get his thoughts on why that 2015 team was able to find so much success, and of course we discuss the catch he made in Lucas Oil and the secret tidbit that makes that play even more crazy, as we prep for the Hawks return to the Title game in Indy this weekend.

The boys sit down to recap a wild weekend that saw incredible football across the country. A great game in Bedlam, an incredible Iron Bowl, and of course 'The Game' did not disappoint, but more than the rest the battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe changed the landscape of the Big Ten West in 2021. Oh, and the Hawks made an all time comeback in Lincoln the beat the Huskers!! We are here to talk about it all, walking you back through the good, bad, and ugly of the Nebraska game from Black Friday. Special Teams continue to be Special, the offense is getting better and improving visibly, and the defense continues to get it done when it's necessary.
