Washed Up Walkons

Riley McCarron joined the team one year before the walkons in the same class as CJ Beathard and George Kittle. He has a very similar story as we do , Iowa kid with very little interest as far as big time D1 colleges go. Iowa hopped on his radar late and he was on his way to Iowa City. Riley put his head down and grinded his way onto special teams where he became an integral part of our core in 2015. It was that year where he started to become a factor at receiver as well. After an injury allowed more playing time Riley took advantage and was crucial to the 2016 receiving core. Much of our conversation was a walk down memory lane talking about all the good times in the black and gold. We got into his time in the NFL and what his life looks like now as well. Enjoy!

Marc Morehouse is a well known reporter from Cedar Rapids and has been covering Hawkeye Football for the entire Kirk Ferentz Era. As players he was able to interview us on multiple occasions in the more formal setting and we finally got him in our house to chop it up Walkon style. We had an awesome wide ranging conversation that was super informational and holds an inside look feel from both parties. Enjoy.

Live interactive episode done with fans over Zoom. Hackers for the most part stayed away so once we got rolling we had some pretty funny content. We ended up talking mostly how COVID will affect Iowa football. The game experience for the players, the fans, the tailgates. We talked about conspiracy theories with comical twists to them. And we touched on a bunch of other stuff.
