Desmond King | WUW 683

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:38:00 +0000

Desmond is from Detroit, Michigan. He joined the Hawks as an under recruited athlete in the class of 2013, and it didn't take long for him to have a massive impact in Iowa City. He joins the podcast to talk about fatherhood, his under-recruited path to Iowa, and how he went from being offered as an athlete to becoming a standout defensive back and returner. He recalls early program memories, being thrown into action as a freshman, calling his first interception, and the instincts and preparation behind key plays. King reflects on Iowa’s 2015 season, including the Wisconsin win, the Michigan State loss, and the Rose Bowl defeat to Stanford, plus games that still haunt him. He explains sliding to the fifth round, his NFL rise to All-Pro honors, how a trade changed his view of the league as a business, and why he retired in December despite feeling he could still play. He also discusses his recovery habits, wrestling background, and his new coaching role with Saline High School in Michigan.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 08:34:00 +0000

Today on the podcast, we welcome back Zach Schneider, a former Northwest Missouri State player and longtime assistant/associate head coach under Ben McCollum, to discuss McCollum’s first season at Iowa and the program’s rapid rise from regular-season inconsistency to an Elite Eight run highlighted by beating Florida and rival Nebraska. Schneider recaps his background, explains McCollum’s recruiting approach, emotional intelligence, culture-building, and practice consistency, and argues those factors drive winning more than Xs and Os. The group evaluates Iowa’s roster fit for McCollum’s system, emphasizing the need for an impact true center and a playmaking guard to replace Bennett Stirtz, while noting key returners and young wings like Tate Sage, and Cooper Koch. They also discuss NIL/“payroll,” rotation preferences, Big Ten size/physicality matchups, and realistic expectations going forward.

The conversation shifts to swim technique advice for an upcoming CrossFit event, brief Masters betting odds via FanDuel, an Iowa football big-hit clip, and the optics of the Diana Russini–Mike Vrabel pool photo. They then criticize NIL plus the transfer portal and note Iowa women’s losses and Iowa men’s surge under Ben McCollum, before ending with a story about a 6’9" Texas lefty throwing 100 mph and teasing a next episode with Zach Schneider.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 2 Apr 2026 08:26:00 +0000

On this episode Iowa Hawkeyes football player Jeremiah Pittman returns to discuss balancing football with academics, choosing finance over engineering, and what he gained from demanding coursework like valuation modeling. He reflects on growing up in a strict household with two older brothers, a church-centered upbringing with music, and how maturity shaped his approach to college. Pittman details committing to Iowa during the COVID recruiting era without an official visit, drawn by transparent coaching (especially Coach Bell), program stability under Kirk Ferentz, and faith connections through Jim Goodrich and Athletes in Action. He explains how NIL, transfers, and revenue sharing changed college football, raising concerns about young players’ money habits. Pittman shares a significant knee cartilage injury and rehab, faith-based identity beyond sport, leadership in Bible studies, and what he’ll carry forward—time management and the “Iowa Edge.” He previews his post-football plans: a corporate finance rotational program at Uline, marriage, and house hunting.

Beau is from Blue Springs, Missouri. He joined the Hawkeyes in the class of 2021 and became a massive contributor/starter for the Hawks over his final 3 seasons. On this episode Beau reacts to teammate Logan Jones calling him a “psychopath,” explaining his intense playing style and love of run-game dominance. He details how the offensive line senses opponents breaking, why the slow mesh didn’t fit Iowa’s identity, and what it was like blocking for QB Mark Gronowski, whose running ability changed the offense despite injury concerns. Bo reflects on moving from Iowa’s “dark years” to a Joe Moore Award-winning unit, crediting Coach Barnett’s culture rebuild, “person before player” emphasis, and Logan Jones’ leadership growth. He also covers NIL/revenue share benefits (including buying a house with his fiancée), camp routines and weigh-in/weight-loss stories, recruiting to Iowa because of its values, and his excitement for the NFL Combine with a goal of bringing “Iowa football” professionalism to the league.

Aaron Graves, Iowa D-Lineman | WUW 669

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 09:45:00 +0000

Aaron Graves is from Dayton, IA and prepped at Southeast Valley High school. He became the youngest player to ever commit to the Hawkeyes just after his Freshman year and completely shut down his recruiting after verbally agreeing to be a Hawkeye. He joins the show from Texas where he’s training for combine/pro day drills while living with his wife and newborn. Graves recounts the hectic 48 hours around the Nebraska game when his son was born on Thanksgiving Day, including a late-night charter flight to Lincoln, skipping meetings, playing, returning straight to the hospital, and receiving a game ball and framed display after Iowa’s 40–16 win. He reflects on committing to Iowa as a sophomore after his first offer from Kirk Ferentz, growing up in Dayton, Iowa and Southeast Valley (a small district spanning 13 towns), playing multiple sports, winning the school’s first state title, and finishing as the program’s all-time leading basketball scorer. Graves discusses arriving at Iowa with the goal to control effort and preparation, earning early snaps and his first sack, and the wake-up call of playing at Ohio State as a freshman. He explains leadership growth into a starting role, the impact of older teammates in a roster now filled with fifth- and sixth-year players, and how Iowa approached NIL and revenue sharing by avoiding pay talk to prevent locker-room friction. Graves details graduating quickly—earning an associate degree from Iowa Central before high school, completing his exercise science bachelor’s in four semesters, and finishing a sport and recreation management master’s in three. He also addresses disappointment over not being invited to the NFL Combine, argues both he and Gronowski are deserving, and shares how Mark earned trust through competitiveness and steady improvement. The episode closes with Graves’ plan for making a 53-man roster and his confidence heading into Iowa’s pro day reunion with teammates.

The Hawks notched their 7th win of the season on Saturday out east against Maryland. The running game got back to their ways as KJ went for another 150 supplemented by over 100 yards from Moulton. The Defense was what we have wanted them to be all year long looking like a traditional bend dont break Iowa.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 18:00:07 +0000

A coordinator themed press review show as we once again got to hear from Tim Lester, Levar Woods, and Phil Parker. It's BYE week for the Hawks, one they need, and the coaches provided some interesting answers to questions on Tuesday. Does Coach Parker and staff even know why this Defense that returned 8 starters hasn't performed up to potential this year? Is there a Cooper Dejean shaped presence that this years team doesn't have allowing opposing teams to have more confidence and take more chances? Where has Dakin settled in nationally and is there actually any concerns with the Special Teams at this point? Who is actually going to be our QB against Maryland, and beyond. Why should we be so excited about what Tim Lester brings to this off season, and a whole lot more.

We mull over another confusing game for the Defense, a D that just isn't top quality like Iowa City has seen the past few years, and how losing Jay Higgins impacted the game.

Does George Barnett Deserve More Credit!? | KF Press Review

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 6 Nov 2024 18:00:02 +0000

David joins us once again to discuss the press conference post game from Wisconsin as well as Tuesday's presser. One that David said saw 'the most relaxed and confident Kirk of the season'. We discuss Kaleb Johnson's continued success and if he is getting the national attention that he deserves, and one of the biggest factors to his success, the Offensive Line. Does Barnett need more credit for where this Line has gotten to, with a dominating performance against the badgers and great run game all year long. We take a deeper look at the O-line situation over the past 3 years. We discuss Ladell Betts and his time as RB coach in Iowa City, we talk TE depth and production, and of course we discuss QB and how Brendan Sullivan will perform moving forward with Cade as the clear? backup at this point.

The Reasons Iowa "Manhandled" Wisconsin | WUW 552

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 4 Nov 2024 08:35:02 +0000

Iowa v Wisco talk starts 31 mins into the show

Before that we talk games and teams around the B1G and try to decipher how which coaches are going to find their seat hot, and we answer how long a coach deserves before a University cuts them loose. We recap our bets of the weekend as all 3 hosts scored a positive win rate once again, and then we talk Hawks. Why you should never come to Kinnick as an opposing team at night, why Iowa was able to dominate the line of scrimmage and gain over 300 yards of rushing attack, why Brendan Sullivan HAS to be the guy for the remainder of this year, and why KJ is probably better than Jeanty and just doesn't get the same love. All of this and more.

Cade Concussion, Sullivan Swagger | KF Press Review

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 17:00:02 +0000

On today's show we have an in depth conversation based mostly in the IAFB press time on Tuesday. We start the episode with some basketball season talk as the season kicks off tonight with an exhibition. That turns into a conversation about how mid majors are similar to the MAC in football, and the state of the transfer portal and NIL. That filters into a conversation about coming after players because they are paid now, and we finally wrap around to the main topics of the press conference. Of biggest note, Cade is not available at all this weekend, along with a few other injury bits. James Resar has great potential, just not at Quarterback, Sullivan continues to impress coaches and teammates, and KJ could be lined up for another big day against the Badgers.

Did Sullivan Spark New Iowa Identity? | WUW 550

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 06:25:02 +0000

The Hawks chalk another in the Win column this past weekend with a successful Homecoming game against Northwestern. A slow start saw Brendan Sullivan, the hot topic of the past few weeks, come into the game to replace Cade after a hard hit, and bad interception. Sullivan would finish out a quiet 1st half and return as the starter for the 2nd where Iowa exploded for 4 total TDs in quarter 3 and a runaway victory. Sullivan was effective statistically, but maybe more importantly provided juice for the team. We discuss all of this and why Brendan needs to be the guy permanently this season, as well as the Defense getting back to their standard against the Wildcats, and the special teams coming up with some massive plays as well.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 17:00:02 +0000

Another press conference breakdown on tap today, we discuss the focal points of Coach's time at the podium which included questions about the poor defensive play, the tackling in particular, as well as the liability at the CB2 position and the cast of characters at that role trying to fill the void. We obviously talk about QB and more reasons why Cade isn't what we all hoped he might be, and the reason to use Brendan Sullivan more, including some verbiage from coach that may be forecasting an uptick in playing time for Sullivan. We also sprinkle in some Coach Doyle talk as well as a few solid minutes on Caitlin Clark to open the show.

Iowa got back on track Saturday with a huge win over new B1G opponent Washington, on the back of none other than KJ2 who continues to be amongst the top players in the country.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 9 Oct 2024 16:55:02 +0000

Kirk Ferentz is Jedd Fish's Wife's favorite coach, and many of ours, and he opened this press conference with a full appreciation for Washington and what they have recently done. KF praised Coach Fish for what he was able to do at Arizona, and now 6 games into this season at Washington, and spent time picking a part what makes this Husky team concerning as an opponent. We spend a good amount of time on Kaleb Brown and LeShon Williams departures and how the landscape of CFB has caught up to the Hawks, and talk about why guys like Gill and RVZ ascended over someone like Brown. Quarterbacks were a focus of the back half of KF's podium time and we break down his answer to why he may be more reluctant to change guys out at the QB spot versus others, and specifically address David's question as to what Cade is doing in practice to continue giving them confidence in games.. plus a whole lot more.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 7 Oct 2024 07:30:02 +0000

Hawks could not get it done on Saturday. Close at half time, and then the flood gates busted loose in the 3rd quarter sending the Buckeyes to an ol fashion routing of Iowa in the Shoe. We veer from our normal recap episode format where we outline and recap the major drives/plays from the game. We instead take a broader look at the disparity between these 2 teams and really Iowa and "Top 10 teams" over the last few seasons trying to decipher an answer as to why they haven't been able to compete. We look at the nuance, becauase there is a lot of it, to what role BF had on the previous 2 years, how all time bad the offense was and the hole that dug us that we could come back from, the reality of being in a first year Offense with Lester, the difference in NIL money spent on the 2 rosters in question, and much more.

Our biggest show yet, we start with some banter around a morning workout, pain, and why the echo bike should be used more in the collegiate setting. That conversation leaks into talking about what things we did at Iowa that in hindsight were really dumb, and did not transfer to the football field.

Then we discuss what the line is on tracking an athletes life away from the facility/field and how that affects the team and that players mindsight within the program. We finish on the topic of needing to do hard things, and be faced with challenges during the day to day so that when Games or Life are hard, you are prepared.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 2 Oct 2024 16:45:02 +0000

In todays show we start with an obscure look back at the 2020 season, the Northwestern game in particular, and why that game is a good example of ran/pass ratio that KF wants to avoid. We reference Lester's time at the podium from last week on several topics here including balancing the Offense, how he addresses areas to work on with detail vs KF's shield approach, and more. We get into a conversation about QB misses the last few years and how having Lester at OC/QB coach could turn the tide for recruiting and development. We touch again on how Iowa's offense will look different next season when they have more time to install, and we finish with what we have to see from Iowa this weekend if they want to win the game.

How do players best manage the week off of playing to fill their cups, rest their bodies, and get their minds right for the upcoming game?

Lester, Parker, and Woods Gave Us TREATS | Coordinator Press Review Show

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 07:35:01 +0000

We got to hear from the Coordinators during this Week 5 BYE for the Hawks and they did not disappoint! Lester was the highlight, as he spoke with nuance and explanation that Iowa fans haven't heard maybe ever. Parker came with some spitfire and some stats to back up the Defense which may have been unfairly judged at this point, and Levar brought detail from the special teams room that allowed some fun insight to Dakin, Stevens, and the coverage units. We talk about reframing how we think about this Offense as Coach Lester provided great perspective on how little they have had time wise to get this thing rolling, and about Lester developing QBs better moving forward to fix an all time soft spot in the Ferentz era. We discuss Parker's macro view of the Defense, the CB battle, and Castro, and finish with Woods and why the fans should feel great about special teams moving forward.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 08:30:02 +0000

Floyd is back in Iowa City! The Hawks came out a bit slow, following the tale of to halves blueprint that they happened to have followed each of the 4 games this season. We discuss why coming out of halftime the boys looked like a completely different team both Offensively and Defensively, which allowed them to seal the deal early in the 4th quarter. Is Kaleb Johnson a legitimate Heisman contender? Has the D fixed their issues? How are we continuing to run the ball without a vertical pass game? All of these questions plus more in this show.

Biggest Iowa/Minnesota Matchup In KF Era? | WUW 540

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 08:20:01 +0000

We break out our pre Minnesota episode with some fun talk of Kevin's training, memories from the Minnesota matchup specifically 2015 and the loudest I-O-W-A chant there's ever been, where Minnesota has stacked up nationally through 3 weeks and why Iowa could be a much different test. We talk GBone's top 25, if certain coverages would better suit Iowa's secondary to protect against some of the big plays that they have allowed, and some beefy five layer action. We brush over how big of a game this could be for the emotional swing of the fanbase for this season, and dive into Ward's Winners as well.

The Answer To Why Iowa's Giving Up Big Plays | WUW 539

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 08:30:01 +0000

We sit down to break down the game from Saturday as the Hawks come back from a halftime deficit to beat Troy 38-21. A game that many walked away from with a weird inconclusive feeling. We discuss why this win doesn't 'feel good' even though the stat sheets say differently. We talk about the blunders on the Defensive side of the ball, where we've seen big plays hurt the Hawks in back to back weeks, and a huge mishap on special teams which is usually the area that Iowa dominates in. We break down the Offense and how Kaleb Johnson is currently a Heisman contender, and how Cade actually played well despite a general feeling of lackluster-ness from his position. We talk passing game and how it needs to evolve moving forward, seeing Brendan Sullivan for the first time, and where things need to be heading in to Floyd week.

Listen Closely, KF Presents Subtle Answers | KF Press Review Week 3

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 16:26:32 +0000

In the Tuesday presser KF answered questions from the media about the loss from the weekend, he talked about dealing with setbacks and how to move forward from those, and the danger of dwelling on the past. The theme of the press conference was likening this past weekend to 2002 so we discuss how time, decades, provides a pretty good perspective on how great that season was and how much potential this season still has. We discuss how the RB room may only be a 3 man stable right now with JP outside looking in, and of course how scoring in the redzone was such a vital issue in week 1 and will be a focus moving forward. We also talk best timing to try out Brendan Sullivan and why KF may be more open to a QB switch right now than people think.. all of this and more!

Not the recap we wanted to do, but the recap that may be necessary- We break down the entirety of the Iowa loss to Iowa State over the weekend. What was it like to see the Hawks jump out to an early lead with promising play calling and scoring, and how did it flip in the 2nd half eventually to see the lead evaporate with seconds left on the clock. What sparked the big plays for both teams? Should Iowa be concerned with their punt game? How do we get 6 points from being 1st and goal at the 3 twice? And what is the implication on the season moving forward.. all of that and more.

Sirles joins the show once more to further his Title as most frequent Walkon guest. His appearances on the show are nearing double digits and this episode solidifies why that is, as he is not only a former guy in the locker room at Nebraska and in the NFL with vast knowledge and experience as a player, but also provides great insight into NIL, the draft process, and much more from his current venture as an NFL agent. We discuss what his draft class looks like, the 'recruiting' process that a player goes through as they near a career in the NFL, what kind of financial incentives are tossed at guys who are going to get drafted, and how the relationships between training facilities, agents, and athletes get complicated. We also discuss what the future of College Football's structure might look like as a whole, the issues that the developing scene is going to cause with Title IX, workers comp, pay to play etc., and what control the NCAA actually has. We get a short report on how the Huskers are looking in Spring as well and if they could be a .500 ball club this fall for the first time in ages.

Thank You, Iowa Women's Basketball | WUW 510

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 8 Apr 2024 07:50:02 +0000

The Hawks defeated UConn in dramatic fashion in the Final Four to advance and take on South Carolina in the National Title game. Their 2nd straight appearance to the championship game where no one thought they would ever go once, let alone twice. They fell short against the Gamecocks, but overdelivered in bunches when it comes to what this team has done for the Iowa brand, school, and fanbase over the last 2 seasons. We sit down to briefly break down the game, but more so celebrate and appreciate this run that we have all been on.

Back To The FINAL FOUR | WUW 509

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 4 Apr 2024 07:40:02 +0000

An instant reaction show of sorts as we sit down to record immediately after the clock struck zeroes on the historic Iowa v LSU rematch. We discuss our opinions on if we thought Iowa could get this done, why the better team isn't always the one with better individual players, and why Iowa can win it all if Caitlin plays like that 2 more times. We talk about O'grady giving huge minutes with Stuelke in foul trouble, Gabbie Marshall and Sydney Affolter putting on a conditioning clinic and how difficult that is to do why still being scoring threats, and more. More than anything we sit and enjoy the experience of following our Hawkeyes to the top of the WBB world over these last 2 seasons.

Brad makes his 3rd appearance on the show to give us some updates on the Swarm Collective. Brad was the spearhead for Iowa's primary NIL collective back in 2021 and the Swarm has continued to grow since then. With the recent Kadyn Proctor situation causing outrage and drama across not only the Iowa fanbase, but the country as well, we thought it would be a great time to sit down again with Brad to decipher the ins and outs of how the collective works, how much money Proctor got and from where, if he will keep that money, the issues at large with NIL as it stands today, and a whole lot more.

We discuss what he has to do to maintain his bodyweight, his favorite books, how his faith has guided his career, what he hopes to accomplish at the next level, and a whole host of other topics.

Danny is from New Lenox, Illinois and attended Providence Catholic High School, which is also Kevin's alma mater. He actually helped coach special teams for PC Kevin's senior year. Danny found his way on to the team by attending the Iowa Special teams summer camp, and having a self confidence like no other. He tells the story of his naïve assumptions about how easy it would be for him to play and start for the Hawks. In the line of Long Snappers, it was him, then Andy Schultz, the Kreiter, then Kluver. He discusses learning to snap, and eventually making his way on to the field, as well as his philosophy within the specialist meeting room and carrying on the tradition that Baker and Kaeding set before him. We talk about his favorite memories from wearing the black and gold, talking crap to punt returners, going back and forth with Coach Doyle, and more. Then on the back end we talk about his unique position in the Hawkeye community as he is married to Dan Gable's daughter. We talk about his time around Gable, the time he asked Dan to train him for a wrestling tournament, legendary Gable Tales, and more!

We talk about what the guys are going through right now in the off season as it relates to the specific weight training and conditioning. What's the goal of the first 8 weeks back from the semester break and what does that look like daily in the weight room? We discuss friend of the show Nick DiMarco's modern approach to training, and how some of the implements in his weight room at Elon University can trickle down to your training/exercise as the average person. We talk about sprinting and where we think our 40 times would line up now at 29 years old, and we highlight Grant's intramural career. We talk about the Barstool Combine, what the Walkons are up to with Hops By A Million, a debrief of the Dallas Clark episode and his energy. Then we get into the Hawks odds to make the first ever playoff of 12 teams this upcoming fall, what it will take within the conference to do that, and the future of CFB post season and whether Bowl games mean anything anymore?

We discuss his journey into collegiate athletics as a 2 sport guy, and why ultimately football had to be left behind last spring to focus on baseball. We talk about where his pitch speed is at today, how last fall he was able to add a pitch to his arsenal, how more free time has allowed his body to feel better and more prepared for the season, and what he sees in this years squad.

Jon Budmayr- Guilty Until Proven Innocent | WUW 495

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 08:55:01 +0000

Conversation on Budmayr starts at about 35 mins into the show

On tonight's show we discuss the shows brief attempt at getting Walkons the restaurant to sponsor the show, and the recent poll we ran on Twitter to help prod at Kevin to take over with more mic time on the show. We discuss the optics of the Kelce/Swift relationship and some of Kelce's sponsors in relation to drawing attention to the NFL and other causes. We break down the Super Bowl, talking about the punt return mishap, Kittle's lack of targets and usage, and the 9ers not running the ball in the second half. Leonhard was hired by the broncos and and some teams odds for '25. Then we mull over the idea of the Super Bowl happening in Vegas every single year. We discuss 5k sub ideas, and guessing Kevin's salary. We then get into the Budmayr hire for the Iowa WR coach position. The immediate negativity surrounding the hire on social media and why people aren't happy.. does a guy need to have played/coached a position to be credible? How easy is it as a football guy to adapt and learn to teach a position at a high level? Was this a lazy hire by simply elevating someone within the program? And does this guy deserve the negativity when he hasn't even gotten a chance to prove himself yet? We finish by touching on the scoring record that Caitlin will break the day this pod releases, and if we would sell our hypothetical floor tickets to this game..

Mike is an incredible guy with a lot going on in his life. For the last 16 years he has been the drummer for the popular Iowa born cover band Pork Tornadoes. They do dozens of shows every year as a full time band where they have found their niche of putting their own twists on classic songs. When the pandemic happened, the band wasn't playing as many events and that was the genesis of The Confused Breakfast Podcast. A show where they review movies and go in depth on their nostalgic memories of seeing classic films for the first time. Both the band and podcast are extremely successful. Oh yea, he just happens to be a huge Hawkeye fan as well. We talk about everything above, his first time in Kinnick stadium, his years in college at UI, and give our Top 5 Best Sports Movie lists.

Indy Recap - PROUD | WUW 477

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Tue, 5 Dec 2023 08:15:02 +0000

The boys sit down to recap the Big Ten Championship over the weekend. We start with some discussion over G-Bone's Indy experience, the Game Day vibe, the festivities at Tin Roof, and G meeting another Gary. We dive head first into the football game where everything the Hawks needed to have happen, didn't. In fact most of the 'luck' plays fell Michigan's way including some calls that don't make any sense. We talk about just how close this game could have been, and liken it to the 2016 game against Michigan in where a few things falling the other way tightens everything up and all of the sudden its a ball game. We talk about replay, we read a heartwarming DM to the walkons, as well as one from a college aged girl that listens to our show and wanted some football answers. We discuss why you can be proud of this entire team, and more. We briefly talk some playoff and bowl game banter, Gary's Top 25, and try to answer every other relevant question about this game along the way.

We compare the coaching landscape to the NFL draft weekend drama, and touch on the crazy ending of the Iron Bowl. We finally get into the game recap from Friday, what went right, what went wrong, and why Iowa was able to crawl out of lincoln with a tight W, in a game that went under the record low 24 point O/U. We dissect the kicking struggles from Drew Stevens, AND the drama with Marshall Meeder kicking the game winner.

The boys recap this past weekend's game against the Northwestern Wildcats. Brian takes on his first week as the fired but still coaching OC, and we see a twist that all of Hawkeye Nation has been asking for as Cooper Dejean gets in on O.

Minnesota Preview - BACON | WUW 464

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 07:35:02 +0000

Right on brand- we hardly preview any actual 'matchup' ahead of this weekend. We do at times discuss some Iowa/Minnesota relevant stats, fun facts about the matchup, and memories from our time in this rivalry. We provide absolutely zero hard hitting analysis of what could happen on the field Saturday. We do have a longer conversation about people jumping to conclusions with the rest of this schedule for Iowa and anointing them the Big West Champions with 5 games to play. We talk about the idea that some Iowa fans actually would rather have the Hawks miss out on an opportunity to play in the Championship just to avoid potential blowout. We make a massive announcement for the brand on a new collab we have coming soon, and we hit you with the Ward's Winners of the week.

Full game recap starts around the 27 minute mark with some other game thoughts sprinkled into the intro conversation that precedes it.

Iowa grinds out a MASSIVE win up in Wisconsin and takes control of the Big Ten West in its final season. We go over our sports bets for the weekend, have a look at the updated Gary Top 25, and talk college football from around the country to open up the podcast. To recap the game we start with some of the gritty statistics and game facts from Saturday, and talk about how big of a momentum victory this could be with 5 games to go. We discuss the huge running game improvement, Sebastian Castro's big day, how underrated Tory Taylor is when it comes to Iowa's winning formula, and our thoughts on the 4th down decisions that lead to points and no points. We talk about how Iowa wins games, and why they are so comfortable in these tight contests, and how that will factor into the remaining games on the schedule.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 07:40:02 +0000

The Hawks head into the annual "this game probably decides the West" matchup at Camp Randall in Wisconsin. What are the chances Iowa can win this game, and what key factors play a role in Iowa keeping the score close when they are 10 point dogs walking in. We also discuss the Iowa Offensive line issues with continued mediocrity in the run game, and what we think the potential source of struggle could be, and we ponder what Coach Doyle's affect was on the team and if some of the struggle can be traced back to him leaving. We dropped a new exclusive design for G-Bone the intern, and we try to convince him to hop on the juice. We finish with Ward's winners segment as always.

Most of the game breakdown starts at 35 min mark

The boys talk NFL games as the Broncos break Gary's heart again, more sandwich talk, if college or NFL football means more to certain people, and Kaleb Johnson coming back with a vengeance. We hit our betting recap where the boys had a 2-1 week across the board and are making money! We get a muscatine update which leads us each to a fun high school story before we get into the nitty gritty game recap.

Michigan State Recap - COOP | WUW 459

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 2 Oct 2023 07:15:02 +0000

The boys sit down to recap the Michigan State game. It was an ugly win in a blacked out Kinnick night time environment that saw more struggles on Offense, a good game from the Defense, and a well timed, familiar, elite Special Teams day. We discuss the Cade Mcnamara injury and what that means moving forward, how we thought Deacon Hill faired being thrust into that situation, and if a healthy Deacon is better than a hurt Cade. We talk about Coop being HIM and basically keeping us alive. We talk big picture looking forward to the rest of the season and why games like Saturday are likely going to be the result of almost every outing this year. Play calling comes up as always, and a whole lot more.

You will not find answers to Iowa's problems in this podcast, only speculations and opinions on what is going wrong for the Iowa, how we can fix whatever is still fixable, what the rest of the season will look like and more. We talk about the times we got beat the worst, the historic stats from the abyss that were spawned from this game, why the snowball effect took place and our Defense is still a bright spot, and some other topics.

Today the guys preview the big matchup of the season. Iowa heads into a matchup against the Nittany Lions where both teams are 3-0 and inside the Top 25. Iowa has taken the last 2 matchups against Penn St but down some starters, we discuss what it will take to keep this game close and have a chance in a game that features a 2 touchdown spread.

Western Michigan Recap - STABLE | WUW 455

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 07:25:01 +0000

The boys sit down to recap the game from Saturday as the Hawks took down the Broncos 41-10. This game left people with podcasts a lot to talk about as it was the first time this season that Iowa eclipsed 25 points and looked decent on Offense, the first time the line has opened up significant holes in the run game, and the first time the Defense has had uncharacteristic breakdowns in coverage as well. We discuss Cade Mac playing a bit erratic, missing open receivers, forcing throws that turned into interceptions, and holding on to the ball to long taking unnecessary shots. We talk the stable of RBs the Hawks are wielding, the injury to Lachey and what that means for the TE room, and more. Special Teams gave the Hawks a spark and we discuss the improvement week to week in that phase of the game, and Kev gives some Xs and Ox look into the Defensive side of the ball.

WE DO NOT PREVIEW THE WESTERN MICHIGAN GAME

Now that that's out of the way, there is some very brief intermixed discussion about this game on Saturday against the Broncos but we do no breaking down of what challenges or non-threat they will bring to the table. We do however talk about Nico's comments to the media, Cade's play on words from his time at the podium this week, Ben Kueter and the timeline escalation of his competitive career as a 2 sport Hawk. Kluver met AD Beth Goetz and made some connections that could elevate the brand in the future, Drake got another dog, Gary got internet, we discuss the betting slate in Ward's Winners, and much more!

Iowa State Recap - BETTER | WUW 453

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 07:55:01 +0000

Iowa Game breakdown starts at 31:00

We recap the Hawks victory over Iowa State from Ames over the weekend. Kluver attended in person, and talks about the Gameday experience as a fan versus a player and discusses the changes to Jack Trice that have shifted some fun from years past. The boys discuss best college football entrances, and recap the betting slate from the weekend.

Ladell is from Kansas City, Missouri and attended Blue Springs High School. By the end of his high school career he was a standout on the football field and that earned him a scholarship to the University of Iowa. He excelled early, was a significant part of the Iowa Rushing attack for his entire career, and is still the only player ever to lead the Hawkeyes in rushing in 4 straight years. His career was uniquely split between Coach Hayden Fry and standing head coach Kirk Ferentz, the man that he now coaches under. We discussed the transition of coaches and what that was like from the player perspective, what the team realized once Coach Ferentz took over, and other details from his career at the turn of the millennium. He went on to have a very successful career in the NFL as a running back for the Washington Redskins, playing in the league from 2002 through 2010. He got into coaching shortly after he retired and spent time at a handful of high schools, before a conversation with his wife sparked a path to thinking about elevating to the college level and beyond. He got the job with the Hawks as RB Coach in 2021.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 07:50:01 +0000

In this Q&A Episode we spend the first half discussing a recap of the Bo Bower wedding, Drake being broke and needing a job, as well as a Montana warrant in Drake's name. We talk about Riley Moss looking like Mathew McConaughey, Kevin finding his way into the Nashville trip to TEU, and then we get into the questions from the fans. What were our extensive thoughts on the Kittle X Chubbies ad video? What are the most listened to WUW ever? What was it like having Aaron Hernandez's brother DJ as a coach for 2 years? Which former teammates of ours would we hire as coaches for the Iowa staff? Over 5 years post football, have we found something to fill our competitive void, and on a larger scale does it feel like we have found purpose outside of football?

In this episode we catch up on each others lives and do some housekeeping items on the agenda. We open up with a bigger discussion about what sport requires the most skill?

We discuss Kasper's second son who is an 8th grader already scoring an offer from Oregon. A potential opportunity to collab with an Iowa brewery presents itself to the boys and we talk about the possibilities of partnering with them.

Zach Kluver | WUW 422

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 18 May 2023 07:15:01 +0000

Zach, brother of Tyler, is also from Marshalltown but ended up going to high school in Ankeny, playing for Jaguars of Centennial. He never planned on playing college football, until a coach recruiting Riley Moss, his high school teammate, mentioned something to Tyler in late 2017. That sparked a multi year process of scratching and clawing his way into the program. His career lasted 2 years before he decided to move on, but sits as an example of how many, maybe the majority of walk on careers actually play out. And highlights the effort and work put in regardless of shining in the spotlight of college football like the star players. Zach also talks about when the racial discrimination drama hit Iowa, and what it was like for him and several of his teammates who were 8 weeks fresh in the program- and what the team meeting was like that day it all went down.

Caleb is from Council Bluffs, IA. He recently in 2021 finished up his career in Iowa City as an Iowa Hawkeye, but that wasn't always the known ending in his story.

He talks about sitting behind guys like Miguel Recinos and Keith Duncan, and what it was like to battle them for the job. He discusses his major injury setback that could have very well ended his career. What it was like when the world shut down and how the D1 football life at Iowa looked when you couldn't go anywhere or do anything. He describes his eventual path to a scholarship, training for the NFL, and now his time in Tennessee where he looks to be the front runner for the job.

His career was unique, and saw him not only transfer out of Iowa after graduating in 3 years, but also try out multiple positions as a Hawkeye. He discusses the reasons for that, wanting to contribute and get playing time, and ultimately pursuing his full potential elsewhere. This conversation gets more serious or 'deep' than we often go on the Walkons, and shows some very real behind the scenes action of how a D1 football players journey is usually more than just roses.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 6 Apr 2023 07:30:01 +0000

Seth is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A product of Washington high school and one hell of an athlete bloodline. A typical under recruited kid relative to the D1 scene, he fielded offers from the Dakota schools and the like before the Hawks came knocking. After coming into the program with the head down work hard mindset, looking to get playing time on special teams, Seth found himself as a staple of those units already in year 2, and a starting Mike Linebacker in year 3. His career would blossom into 'one of the most underrated' of all time according to fellow LB Jack Campbell, and Seth was a vital part of the Hawkeye Defense for the last 3 seasons. We discuss his path to Iowa City, the crazy 2020 covid season, some of his favorite memories from the LB room, his plans after football and more!

A crazy trip to BestBuy in 2010, playing outside, building forts, what year we would like to go back to in our childhood.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 06:00:03 +0000

Nebraska plays spoiler and leaves Hawkeye Nation licking our wounds. With everything on the line, the Hawks were down starters, turned the ball over, played sloppy, and got behind by too many points to put together the kind of day that everyone in Black and Gold was hoping for. We discuss why our Defense struggled to deal with Trey Palmer in the passing game, and the options that the Hawkeye D had to try and survive Cooper Dejean's first quarter knock out hit. We talk about the hurt and disappointment that you feel from the inside when faced with a situation like this, and we discuss the Offense's attempt at a comeback, why we couldn't pull it off, and what made O tough against a lack luster Husker D. Cap the regular season with us here on 372.

Nebraska Preview w/Jeremiah Sirles | WUW 371

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 01:00:02 +0000

Friend of the show and now 4 time guest Jeremiah Sirles joins us to preview the Nebraska v Iowa Thanksgiving day matchup. Sirles played at Nebraska from 2009-2013 as an Offensive lineman, and eventually ascended to the NFL where he spent time with the Chargers, Vikings, Panthers, and Bills. After retiring from playing, he's ventured into the media side of the game, similar to ourselves, and has worked within the Husker Radio network the past several years as a sideline reporter and cohost of some of their in house productions. A year ago he dove into the world of being an NFL agent, signing college kids, and helping guide them into the league. We learn about all of his personal endeavors in the early part of the episode before diving into a Nebraska breakdown, state of the program, the mindset in Lincoln, and what this game Friday could look like on the field.

Floyd: 8 Straight - Minnesota Recap | WUW 370

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 06:00:03 +0000

The Hawkeyes win streak continues as they found a way to battle and win in single digit temperatures in Minneapolis over the weekend. The trophy, Floyd of Rosedale stays in Iowa City, where it has resided for 8 straight years. The question.. how does a team give up 270 rushing yards to a single running back and win the game? How do 2 teams in frigid weather manage ZERO penalties, something that hasn't been done since 1986. How does this Defense continue to find ways of bending, and bending, and bending some more, but never breaking. We discuss it all in 370, including the Hawks improbable path back to INDY and the B1G Championship game which is 1 game away from their grasp. Join us for some fun.

Discussion about Cooper Dejean doing everything for the Hawks and who we think he reminds us of, the single play break down that allowed Wisconsin back in the game before half, turnovers being a major factor as always, and how the Hawks were able to find success when they needed it late to kill clock and ice the game. We also recap the Tool box game where the managers brought home the rusty toolbox in a dominating 37-6 victory, and getting to meet and greet with listeners and fans of the show.

The Hawks found life, and put out their best offensive performance of the year in a 33-13 victory of the Wildcats. How much of this weekend's success was due to progress from the O vs the Northwestern team being bad at football?

We sat down to record this episode just 30 mins after the news that Wisconsin Head Football coach Paul Chryst was being relieved of his duties. So we start the episode with a brief discussion on that news. We dive into breaking down the Iowa game, talk about how Spencer Petras had his best personal outing to date, how the Defense could have helped themselves out a little more, the difference in performance around the line of scrimmage on Saturday, and how Iowa even in defeat took a step forward as a team.

This is a very Washed Up Walkons episode.. unfiltered, off subject, entertaining but not safe for work. We do an absolutely abysmal job at actually previewing the football game. But.. if you like to laugh then this could be for you. We touch on topics like how we prepared for Michigan in 2016, what it will take for this years team to pull off a similar upset, and why Kinnick is so special when it comes to big matchups. Most of the episode is about our top 5 breads, making fun of Brady Ross, coming up with ways to exploit the current players on the team, a new only fans account, and talking Ward's Winners for the week. We warned you.

Rutgers Recap | WUW 354

The Hawkeyes took care of business in Piscataway on Saturday earning their way to Victory 27-10. While the Defense posted their 4th straight solid performance, highlighted by 2 trips to the endzone off of turnovers, it was the Offense who may have injected some more hope into Hawkeye faithful. We go back through our Wards Winners from week 4, and discuss the lopsided Minnesota vs Michigan St game. We recap the win, our initial thoughts on what we saw improve from the Hawks and what still needs work, and discuss Iowa's outlook in the Big Ten West. We talk O-line development through 4 games, receivers limited role in the game this weekend, Cooper Dejean being an All American in waiting, and answer the question, "Has Riley Moss fallen off?".

Nevada Recap | WUW 352

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 05:00:02 +0000

A late night game, turns into an early morning recap. Iowa's Offense and Defense did as expected, controlling the field and blanking the Nevada Wolfpack for a their first shutout of the season. Iowa's Offense looked to be better, in multiple areas, but the question now is was the reason because Iowa actually figured some things out? Or was this a product of playing one of the worst teams in the country? Why did the playbook get bigger? Did Nico and Keagan really make a big difference? Who are the top 5-6 guys that the O-line should have out there, and will these improvements carry forward to the Rutgers game this week, and further into Big Ten play.

The streak comes to an end, as the Cyclones win the CyHawk game 10-7 on a day that saw much of the same out of Iowa's anemic offense. We open this 2 man show with discussion of Drake's involvement moving forward, and then dive into the game. Kevin was not in attendance and we discuss if that was actually better in hindsight not having to see the Hawks lose. We update the Ward's Winners picks from last week, We discuss how it is possible that Iowa sits firmly in dead last in the country in Offense, break down some key points of the game including the big special teams plays by the Hawks that kept them in it, but also the 99 yard drive by Iowa State. We speculate on if any personnel changes will be made moving forward and try to dissect how this is not even a 2 or 3 part problem, but much more than that. We finish with conversation about Nebraska finally parting ways with Scott Frost.

We discuss what we would do if we were in charge of the team, where our focus would lie, and what is most important heading into Saturday.

South Dakota State Recap | WUW 348

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 5 Sep 2022 05:00:04 +0000

The Hawks kicked off their season inside Kinnick this past weekend with a very lackluster 7-3 victory over the jackrabbits. Sadly, an entire off season of waiting and hoping that the Hawkeye offense would be better looks to be a lost cause. Issues are still there, and potentially worse, spanning almost every offensive position group, and the problems are being exacerbated by a not fully healthy roster. Spencer Petras, one of the hot topic items for the last 3 years, appears to be much of the same, isn't getting help, and is leaving fans wanting basically anything else. We do get to discuss some good things like the almost perfect Iowa Defense, one of the best Punters in the nation, and more. Come along for our full game breakdown.

Brandon Snyder + SDSU Preview | WUW 347

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 1 Sep 2022 05:00:02 +0000

Brandon is from Larchwood, Iowa and played high school football for the West Lyon Wildcats. After walking on for the University of Iowa, Brandon quickly ascended special teams depth charts and became a vital component of the special teams in our 2015 undefeated regular season. He would eventually be named starting Safety in 2016 and start all 13 games that season, collecting 85 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles. After tearing his ACL in the Spring of 2017, he made an almost magical return to the field in under 6 months, in a game that many will remember his Pick-6 against Illinois. Unfortunately the knee was already reinjured at that point in the game, something that we dive into during our conversation, and his season would end. He transferred to SDSU for his final season of eligibility and finished his career with the Jackrabbits. We talk the upcoming matchup, the styles that each team play, and memories from his playing days.

Week Zero, whatever that means, has come and gone and that means college football teams across the country have started their quest for glory in 2022. 2 of those teams, Nebraska and Northwestern, have been waiting all off season to rectify poor campaigns from the 2021 seasons. They would do so in Ireland, thousands of miles away from Lincoln, Evanston, and the rest of B1G country to kick off the 2022 Big Ten slate. And while both teams seemed to have improved on a couple areas of the game, it appears Nebraska will be chasing some more of the same this year. We discuss the loss, What we thought of both outfits, some of the personnel on each side, the topic of Head coach for the Huskers, beer snakes, and a whole lot more.

To be frank, if you are an Iowa fan, you will enjoy this next hour.

Nile's Girlfriend, Puking Huskers, HS Football In Kinnick | WUW 344

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 05:00:07 +0000

The boys are all back for a non guest episode for the first time in a long while. We discuss Drake 'running out' of internet, his phone not working, Usman getting kicked in the head, and the reason that 344 wasn't a Gary Dolphin interview like originally planned. Nebraska linemen are throwing up at alarming rates and while the quote that came directly from Scott Frost's mouth may have been hyperbolic, we discuss the implications of exerting yourself that hard, if football training and practices should ever induce vomiting, and we speculate on the state of the Husker program with this news coming 10 days out from their first game with NW in week 0. We also share a story from a listener who reached out who happens to be the nephew of a woman who was in a very serious relationship with Nile Kinnick. We talk a little bit about Charlie Jones and Tyrone Tracy over at Purdue, and finish with highlighting a Highschool football game happening in Kinnick stadium this Friday.

Scott is an Actor, Writer, Producer, and he's doing it all in the state of Iowa. His first big break, and what many today would recognize him for, was the viral 'Iowa Nice' video that he debuted a decade ago in 2012. That video was made to highlight the our state and some of the great things and people that Iowa has produced. Similarly with this new project, Scott sought out to deep dive, like never before, one of Iowa's true historical hero's, Iowa Football Player, and Heisman Winner, Nile Kinnick. Scott walks us through the motivation behind this upcoming Documentary, how his team went about gathering all the necessary, and in many instances newly found, information about Nile and his life, and helps us understand how truly great of a human Nile was.

Maryland Recap | WUW 254

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 4 Oct 2021 07:00:04 +0000

The Hawks dismantled the Terps last Friday 51-14. This team now sits at #3 in the country and has all the expectations in the world placed upon them. They control their destiny in the West by a wide margin, and much of the division has questions to answer before they can even think about the B1G title game. The Offense took many steps forward, highlighted by Arland Bruce, Progress by Petras, and some O-line stability. The Defense continued their run of dominance with the most impressive outing yet. 5 interceptions and a complete shut down of what was thought to be a top offense in the country. We talk about all of this and more along with some fun comparisons to the 2015 team as we try to limit ourselves from looking to far ahead. This is a big week, and that is an understatement.

Colorado State Recap | WUW 252

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 07:00:14 +0000

What is wrong with the Hawks!?! Well, potentially nothing.. consider that? Or maybe there are some issues that need to be cleaned up. We talk about it all right here on 252 the CSU recap. After talking down the trap game concept, it looked like the Hawks overlooked the Rams, we discuss why we believe that is not the case, and give our reasons why it was such a slow start offensively against a 'lesser' team. We also break down why the Defense, who has looked like world beaters through this point in the season, looked to be lacking on Saturday... was that really the case? We discuss the state of the fanbase and why what we feel emotionally right now is being felt by PLENTY of teams that are ranked across the country and why we shouldn't let the number in front of our name fool us into unrealistic expectations.

Kent State Recap | WUW 250

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 07:00:02 +0000

Today we recap the Kent State game. Lots of Petras talk. Is he really our best option? Why would we keep someone better on the bench? Is the play calling limiting his down field throws or is a lack of separation by our receivers? Is it both or neither? We try to figure it out. The run game got going finally and T good looked great behind an offensive line that finally caught some footing and consistency. We also discuss how games like this, CSU, and others are avoided as 'Trap Games' from the inside and why perspective as a fan compared to the inside on a weekly basis is vastly different. Pottebaum is the total package, the Defense saw a couple broken coverages, and plenty more.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 07:00:14 +0000

The streak extends to 6 for the Iowa in the CyHawk series. Saturday boasted the biggest game between ISU and Iowa in the history of the matchup and the it didn't disappoint if you were wearing black and gold. We all know that through 2 games the defense has played out of their mind, we discuss why that may be the case and why their confidence will only continue to grow. Special teams was huge on Saturday, even more than people think, and we talk about why Tory Taylor and Charlie Jones are literally changing the game for the Hawkeyes. Spencer Petras took another step or 2 in proving that he is the guy. We talk about the 3 throws that end the discussion on if he is a true gamer or not, however why is he taking sacks on 3rd down? We have a couple answers to that question and explain why we are optimistic. We address the teams glaring weakness in the offensive line and what we think Schott returning to the lineup could do for production. Ohio St. lost to Oregon and showed for the 2nd straight week that they are not the team that OSU usually puts on the field, and this of course leaves the top of the Big Ten more open than usual. We talk the Hawks resume, best in the country, and why this team could be special. Kevin makes an All-Time cameo from his Las Vegas hotel room, Drake rants of course, the F-bomb fund is fully loaded, and the Walkons have a HUGE bounce back week in betting picks for week 2!

Indiana Recap | WUW 246

In todays recap episode we discuss the big opening day win for the Hawks. Iowa completed a 34 to 6 victory in dominating fashion over the 17th ranked Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, but even in such triumph there remains many unanswered questions. Why are the specialists leading the swarm? What are our thoughts on how each unit played this weekend? Did Petras looked as if he has improved? Did he even get the chance to show real rhythm and flow? Does it look like the young offensive line will be enough to dominate this year? Did the D-line play sufficient football to compliment the back 7? Is there anyone in the country better than that back 7? haha All of these questions answered and more as well as tiny tidbits of speculation as we look forward to Week 2.

Drew Ott | WUW 241

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Drew is from Giltner Nebraska, and found his way to Iowa City after the Huskers overlooked him during recruiting. Drew, as you can hear in his voice, is pretty good at rolling with the punches and continuing to take life head on, sometimes too literally. Like the time he was sideswiped by someone while driving his moped and ended up on their windshield, an accident that totaled the moped but didn't kill it as Drew plans to turn it into a go-kart. That project and 70 more are sitting on the farm with Drew as he and his Wife Kali, a former Iowa Basketball player herself, are now back in Nebraska on the family farm. We talk about Drew seeing the field early, his earliest memories of him lifting weights, graduating HS with 10 other people, and being a "Winner". We also discuss the infamous part of Drew's college career where his senior season was cut short and he was denied another year by the NCAA. He craps all over CrossFit, tells us about his diet, what it was like training to be an NFL O-lineman post college, and a whole lot more.

Nick Dimarco | WUW 234

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Nick DiMarco is the Director of Strength & Conditioning for Elon University in North Carolina. He was named to that position in February 2018.

Prior to Elon, DiMarco spent three years with the Iowa Hawkeyes as the assistant strength and conditioning coach for the football program. He rejoined the Hawkeyes after spending the 2013 season with the program as a intern.

DiMarco rejoined the Iowa program after playing in the NFL as an outside linebacker in 2014. He spent time with the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens.

DiMarco earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education and strength and conditioning from William Penn in and a Master of Science in exercise science, performance enhancement and injury prevention, from California University of Pennsylvania. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Health and Human Performance from Concordia University-Chicago. He also holds damn near every Strength Coach certification in the book, which you will be able to syphon out of our interview with him.

We talk about how he started training his own peers while he was still in college and how that was the first example of how Nick is a trendsetter and pusher of boundaries in the field. We discuss much of his philosophy on training a college football team and draw many comparisons between what he does with his team, and how we use to do things at Iowa.

This is the ultimate nerd out episode so much of this will fly over the heads of our average listener that has no interest in strength and conditioning. However dispersed throughout the episode are plenty of comments and conversations about Nick's time at Iowa, Discussion on freak athletes like Wirfs and Scherff, what he learned being part of that staff, and his favorite memories of those 3 years.

Matt is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa and was part of the 2014 recruiting class for the Iowa Hawkeyes. With his 6'8 frame and exceptional mental ability to understand the game and schemes, Matt found his way on to the field early in Iowa City as a redshirt freshman D-lineman. After 4 years of playing time in the Black and Gold Matt now finds himself as part of the Detroit Lions in the NFL, but on the opposite side of the ball. Making a transition that is rarely made from college to pro has left Matt with quite the story to tell about learning Offensive Tackle, adding more weight to his already large frame, a custom training plan to morph his athleticism and movement to that of the O-line, and a fight to make the 53 man team. We talk about all of that including, what it was like to be excelling off the field as well as he was passing the MCATs, pursuing medical school, getting married, and a whole lot more. We also hear what its like to love trading cards and now have one of himself, what room is more fun to be a part of between the lions O-line and the Hawks D-line, How he approaches the off season, and more!

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Today we go Live with Shaun Beyer, product of Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School where he excelled in multiple sports. After arriving at Iowa Shaun was in a position purgatory where he could have played multiple positions, but eventually landed at receiver due to depth issues. After his freshman year Shaun's size allowed him to switch to Tight End, and follow the path of guys like Kittle, Fant, and Hockenson. We dive into why those guys are great and what he took away from playing behind them as well as why Iowa is so great at producing tight ends. We talk a little about how living the D1 lifestyle changed Shaun and developed him along with the intensity of the off season program. We talk about how Covid affected not only him but the 2020 Hawks as a whole and how that manifested itself early in the season, and we finish with how Shaun is now seeking an opportunity in the NFL and we get his pitch on why a pro team should take a chance.

admin@bleav.com (Tyler Kluver) — Mon, 1 Mar 2021 08:00:00 +0000

Dom's name started blowing up the internet in Week 17 of the NFL season this past year. A few short months after the Packers signed him to their practice squad in October, Dom found himself wide open, with a ball thrown by Aaron Rodgers coming his way. A few seconds later he was celebrating his first NFL touchdown, on his 2nd NFL catch, after one of the most unlikely paths into the League. Dom talks about that process, one that saw multiple college stops along the way, and one that was never easy but for him was the "only option". One of those collegiate pitstops was Iowa City, where Dom was a Hawkeye for more than 2 years. He talks about what he learned playing for Iowa and how it helped prepare him for the NFL. We also discuss staying in shape during COVID lockdown, gaining weight and switching positions, what his approach to diet is as a pro athlete, and what it felt like to sign his first contract.

After redshirting in his first year, Cole saw action on special teams in '12, '13, and '14 but could never breakthrough to a serious role on the Defense. That is, until his senior year which happened to be the magical 2015 perfect season run. A regular season that was capped off with a win in Lincoln, Nebraska, the team that Cole has family ties to, was an hour down the road, and grew up dreaming about playing for. We talk all about the 'Student Athlete' Dynamic and how he approached that, how it affected his effort on both ends, and how he processes that time in his life now.

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.

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.

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. We discuss who that will most likely be and the lines of every NFL game ahead.
