Episode 2.2: Meet the new Hawks. Same as the old Hawks?

Week 1 is done, and the guys break down the most recent heartbreak at Kinnick.  Tory’s spouse shares her expertise, and makes us both feel fat.  Confident predictions are made for Missouri State.

12 Saturdays Podcast #14: That’s a Wrap.

All bad things must also come to an end, and so we bid adieu to the 2012 edition of Iowa Football. The guys discuss some of the recent coaching changes, describe an encounter with a Nebraska fan, and share their wishlist to Santa for 2013.

Somehow 12 Saturdays meant 14 Episodes, but each one was a blast, and we hope our small & growing audience enjoyed them as well.

12 Saturdays Podcast #13: Groundhog Day

Did anyone see that coming? Yeah, pretty much everybody predicted a blowout in the Big House.  The guys discuss a new definition of “successful program.”  Maryland and Rutgers are (grudgingly) welcomed to the family.  And our Michigan guest skips the gloating to hope for an upset against Nebraska.

 

 

 

(Here are the states that James presented in the second segment).

Select Teams vs. Bottom Dwellers

12 Saturdays Podcast #12: Yes, we are still doing this….

Another week, another loss, and another podcast where the guys discuss what has gone wrong (spoiler: Everything) and right (Not Much) with the 2012 Hawkeyes.  Also, Nebraska: Yeah or Nay?  The long-term value of halftime speeches is examined, and a Friendly Wolverine drops by….

12 Saturdays Podcast #11: Hoosier Friend in Indiana?

The guys try to muster up some emotions for the remainder of the season.  James reopens the 2010 argument (again).  Tory’s article is a hit, but even he is in a dark place.  We reconnect with a Hawkeye in Indianapolis who provides intel on Purdue and a “special evening” at Illinois in 1990.

12 Saturdays Podcast #10: This Seems Familiar

The guys break down the loss to Northwestern and what it means for the Iowa program.  James is still angry, but Tory has moved on.  (To Basketball?)  Our NW guest returns to talk smack and wax political.  And two pervasive Internet arguments are tested.

12 Saturdays Podcast #9: The Meltdown–Part Deux

Can Iowa ever win again?  We discuss the disaster at Kinnick, and what it means for the 2012 and the program.  Our Penn State guest returns, but actually seems to pity us.  We interview a Northwestern Grad, who appears to offer us a 100 point spread.

12 Saturdays Podcast #8: Like a regular Lion, but more Nittany

The guys break down the improbable victory at Michigan State, and discuss the merits of beer and Poutine.  Our Penn State guest provides a confessional of his own.

12 Saturdays Podcast #7: Beer Week

It’s Intermission this week, which gives the guys time to watch other games and enjoy some beers.  We consult with Kurt, the beer snob’s Beer Snob. Also on tap:  the sensitivities of the ICPD, Seven Got Six, and why it’s a good thing to get James out of the country for big games.   Brands that should sponsor this show (but don’t) include:  Rookies, RIBCO, Hy-Vee, Bell’s, Founders, 3Floyds, New Glarus and Goose Island.
