You probably don't want to listen, but in an odd way you may enjoy this episode more than others, as the guys have to get REAL. Honest, authentic, no holding back conversation about the state of Iowa Football right now, and how this ship can possibly, if at all, get back on track. We talk about the disappointment of the Offensive struggles and how to potentially make things better. Who do we believe should be playing QB for the hawks, what grade do we give Brian Ferentz, and what is wrong with this line? Does this start to cause friction on the locker room on opposing sides of the ball? And if so who steps up to do something about it? What does that do for the culture of the team. We also discuss how a successful season still is reach for the Hawks, and a whole lot more.

We sit down to preview Purdue, but it really isn't heavily Boilermaker focused in this one. We have a cool discussion into the X's and O's of the Matt Hankins 4th down stop from Saturday and how that could have potentially gone very bad for the Hawks. We also offer our opinions on the Ferentz/Franklin media comments about the injuries being real or fake.. Its like that one dress optical illusion, is it blue or pink? We also talk about some of the mindset of knowing you are 'supposed to win' and what that feels like week in and week out. Kevin was in a heated HOA meeting, we need to make Franklin the Turtle shirts, and Drake seeks Phil Parkers approval.. Plus as always we have Wards Winners. All of that and more!
