Episode 2.12: Going bowling…but where?

Iowa secures a post-season by beating up on a hapless Purdue squad, featuring Canzeri and Schumpert (yeah, really).  Our guest is an Iowa Wrestling Celebrity, who matriculated under an Iowa Wrestling Legend: Gable himself.  And we take a week off of our own…but not before looking ahead to Michigan and kNebraska.

Episode 2.11: Last Act

The Hawkeyes were out-physicalled in a home loss to Wisconsin, mostly due to an offense that has gone AWOL.  Our guest is a DC journalist who lives at the epicenter of the political landscape.  And we look ahead to the last three games for bowl eligibility, starting with Purdue.

Episode 2.10: No Bowl for You, Pat.

Iowa likely ended NW’s hopes for a post-season, and significantly raised their own.  The guys discuss the Overtime win over NW, and how it could be an inflection point for a turnaround season.  Our expert is part of a nationwide network to rescue and foster dogs in trouble.  We identify a few disturbing trends on offense, and look ahead to Saturday’s match-up against the Batchers.

Episode 2.9: That didn’t matter.

Iowa dropped its second game in a row last week, so why aren’t we angry about it?  A: Our guest.  Q: Who has first-hand expertise with a popular trivia game show? And will the NW game determine who goes bowling?

Episode 2.8: Intermission

With the Hawkeyes on a bye week, the guys take stock of the 2013 season so far, including the state of the Legends Division, which is the last year we will have to remember that name.  Our Expert guest shares his knowledge of conspiracies, including a brief mention of the 1986 Rose Bowl.  On to Columbus…..

Episode 2.6: Our Pig

Floyd stays home, and the guys examine the differences between this season and last.  Our Expert is a Hawkeye with a personal take on US/Iranian relations.  And we look ahead to a visit from Sparty.

Episode 2.4: The best thing about Ames is when you leave….

Hawkeyes take care of business in Ames, despite the best efforts of ISU’s passing game and Iowa’s secondary.  The guys discuss the identity of the 2013 Hawkeyes (so far), look forward to the last non-conference home game, and chat with an expert who knows how to enjoy a frigid Great Lake.

 

And here are are some pictures of Eric and others actually surfing Lake Michigan. We didn’t make it up!

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.

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….
