WUW 178 | Which NFL Hawk Gets A Ring? Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

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.

WUW 171 | The Bull Returns, Wisconsin Recap Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

Special Cohost Blake Gimbel, friend of the show, joins to talk all things Iowa v Wisconsin. The Hawks were able to best the Badgers for the first time in 5 years Saturday with commanding final score of 28-7. The defense played great again as they didn't have a bad game all season, and the offense found their stride in the second half, lead by Ihmir Smith-Marsette, to pull away for the victory. We talk all about the stalemate of the first half, How Iowa was able to pull away in the 2nd half, and why Petras still has great potential to be realized. We discuss where this Iowa team stands now, relative to the Big Ten and across the country, and of course we talk about the celebration flip, and punt goof as well.
