John is from Indiana was a part of our class that joined the Hawks in 2013. John was actually the first guy on campus for Spring semester that year after graduating high school early. He started at Linebacker and switched to fullback, where he saw several starts in 14', after some injuries at the FB position left us searching for someone to fill the role. Drake and John have a fun conversation about the life of a Fullback. After that year John found himself looking for an identity in the program and found his way to Arizona as a transfer. He talks about about the Iowa edge and what makes the Hawks different, and why Iowa prepared him for the business world, which we catch up on as well.

The GOAT, #3, Keith Duncan finally joins the show. After coming to Iowa City from the East Coast, Keith exploded into the Big Ten with a dagger 33 yard field goal to knock off Top 5 Michigan Wolverines in Kinnick Stadium in 2016. Yet, with an all time Iowa moment under his belt, he spent the next 2 seasons behind Miguel Recinos. He talks all about that journey and the ups and downs of his career. We talk about the specialist room, blowing kisses at Nebraska, his All American season, being snubbed by the Groza committee, and being in a leadership role as the Hawks faced the most tumultuous off season in school history.

Casey is from Dewitt, Iowa and joined the team in 2009 as a walkon linebacker. He spent his first year in the back of the room as Pat Angerer watched film before being asked to move to D-line in the spring when the defense needed bodies. After realizing he wasnt going to be a Big Ten lineman either, he made the transition to Long snapper. He played 3 full seasons as the starter and preceded Kluver at the position. We re-live many memories from our short time together in our overlapping season and he talks all about the specialist dynamic and how it take a while to earn respect. Tells an awesome Mike Daniels story, discusses his time in the NFL, and much more.

On a day where DC was swarmed with protestors, all 3 walkons make an effort to lighten the mood and talk football. We talk about how crazy of an athlete Devonta Smith from Alabama is, and why he broke the mold of beefing up to win himself a Heisman trophy, the first receiver to do it in 30 years. Then we discuss the possibility of the National Championship game being postponed so that Ohio St could fully recover from COVID concerns, And what it would be like playing a final in the back half of January. A massive weekend in the NFL hits Saturday as the playoffs start and there are 18 Hawks in the playoffs on 10 of the 14 rosters. This means a Hawkeye is probably bringing home a Super Bowl ring.
