Could Jackson Stratton Actually Be The Guy? | WUW 556 Nov 21, 2024

To start todays episode we have a conversation that tries to dissect the Iowa QB situation and why Stratton is set to likely get the start over Cade McNamara against the Terps. Is there something deeper going on here considering that Cade is medically cleared but not back in front and still no longer a captain..? We discuss how this could even be the case going up against a walk on 4th string and dive into NIL deals for Stratton's future. WE discuss the latest CFP bracket and the new playoff system at large, the good, the bad, and the greedy SEC. Ponder games where Bama and Georgia could travel to play opening round matchups in the snow, and if the Big 12 is even going to get in? With a whole lot more packed in between, we finish with world famous Ward's Winners.

Change Looming For The Hawks? | KF Press Review Nov 20, 2024

KF stepped to the podium with a higher energy that you may expect, after having to lead this team out of a 2 week down period, coming off of a game that the Hawks should have won. Coupled with his answers around Cade McNamara and Jackson Stratton and who will be playing QB for the Hawks this week, this press conference became more interesting than anyone anticipated. We discuss the future of the QB position knowing what will be left on the roster heading into the spring, and who should play QB the last 3 games. At the back of show we go big picture on KF's tenure and how the Iowa job will be looked at nationally when KF moves on.

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.

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.

BYE Week Needed More Than Ever | WUW 554 Nov 11, 2024

The Hawks fell to UCLA on Friday night in a game that they 'should have won'. We discuss why its hard to win football games, regardless of the opponent, with fresh examples from all around the country this weekend. We discuss the acute depth issue at QB and how impressive Stratton was given the lack of prep time, and we talk Sullivan's performance before leaving the game and how he could have been smarter in this specific situation. 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. We break down why a bye week came at the right time, and what the mindset will be facing these last 2 games of the year.

Does George Barnett Deserve More Credit!? | KF Press Review Nov 06, 2024

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.

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.

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 Oct 30, 2024

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 Oct 28, 2024

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.

The Reason Iowa Can't Compete Against Top Teams Right Now | WUW 544 Oct 07, 2024

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.

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.

Lester, Parker, and Woods Gave Us TREATS | Coordinator Press Review Show Sep 26, 2024

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.

How Iowa Pummeled Minnesota For The Pig | WUW 541 Sep 23, 2024

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.

Thank You, Iowa Women's Basketball | WUW 510 Apr 08, 2024

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 Apr 04, 2024

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.

Jon Budmayr- Guilty Until Proven Innocent | WUW 495 Feb 15, 2024

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..

Minnesota Preview - BACON | WUW 464 Oct 19, 2023

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.

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 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.

Western Michigan Recap - STABLE | WUW 455 Sep 18, 2023

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.

Iowa Depth Chart Revealed | WUW 441 Jul 31, 2023

Iowa Football Media Days/Depth Chart talk starts at 42:25
Fat episode on deck as the guys get together after 10 days since our last recording. Jim Leonhard got hired by the Illini, and we speculate on what seems like a lateral move at best.. We discuss some updated comments on the northwestern situation. We talk about the story breaking out of Minneapolis around the Minnesota Football team and PJ Fleck. That opens the bigger conversation about how close any College sports program always is to a 'scandal' story of discrimination or unfair treatment, and why social media is too powerful when it comes to giving some kids voices. We eventually get around to the B1G Media Days in Indy where Coop, Higgins, and Lachey represented the Hawks along with Coach Ferentz. We ponder over some of the things they said there, and take a look at the 1st Depth Chart of the year for the Hawkeyes. We break down what each position looks like heading in to Fall Camp, and much more.

Dorian is quite possibly the most interesting guest we have ever had on our show. Drake met Dorian in Nashville while training MMA and immediately knew he needed to be a Walkon guest. He got into MMA at an early age of 18 after playing basketball growing up, and tells a wild story about how when an opportunity to go to Thailand presented itself, he never looked back, and didn't really have a choice. He would end up coming back to the US after 7 months but then spent an entire decade back in Thailand from 2009 to 2020. He talks about the crazy training hours and sessions they would put in at the Thai camps, his living conditions, the culture of fighting over there, and a whole lot more. Every word that came out of Dorian's mouth was captivating, a true gem to have on the show.

Ladell is from Kansas City, Missouri and attended Blue Springs High School.

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.

Zach Kluver | WUW 422 May 18, 2023

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.

Seth Benson | WUW 410 Apr 06, 2023

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!

Brad was on the show just 4 months ago in early August, and returns for an update on the SWARM Collective. With the Hawks recent pick up of Cade McNamara in the transfer portal, people are starting to realize the effect that the collective can have. Brad dives into details about Cade, how much the Swarm had made, how far they have to go to be competitive, and where they rank in the Big 10. He also discusses some of the bigger struggles they have run into like hang ups within the Athletic Department, behind the scenes logistics, and more. We also talk in general about the landscape of NIL, what the rules are if any at all, who is enforcing those rules, and what the current crazy 'free agency' landscape of the transfer portal could do to college sports.

We begin the episode as the news came across twitter that Mickey Joseph, the interim Head Coach for the Cornhuskers this season, had been arrested on charges of strangulation and domestic assault.. and you can imagine where that conversation lead us to. We talk about our Spotify wrapped, how much it would take to buy us out of the WUW, and other dumb stuff. Then we mesh the discussion into Rhule taking over at Nebraska, and Fickell taking over at Wisconsin, and the the outlook for the West with those coaches over the next few years. We also get into an exciting conversation about how many wins Kevin Ward would muster as a D1 Coach, and what is most important to that job.

Black Friday Upset - Nebraska Recap | WUW 372 Nov 28, 2022

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 Nov 24, 2022

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 Nov 21, 2022

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.

Northwestern Recap | WUW 364 Oct 31, 2022

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? How much has this Offense truly struggled because of the lack of time to throw the ball? Will this momentum keep building this week vs Purdue? Many new questions to ponder as the Hawks go to 4-4. We recap the weekend bets, and an all new Walkon Top 5, Halloween Candy.

KF Dunks On Reporter, Burner Accounts, And What Do We Deserve? The Northwestern Preview | WUW 363 Oct 27, 2022

A lengthy episode that dives deeper than we anticipated. The episode starts light with 15 minutes of casual catching up, an opportunity to win 250 bucks by signing up for Pikkit using code: WALKON, and some weight lifting talk.. Then we get into the meat of this weeks drama. We talk about KF's now viral quote about a reporter from Cleveland and his article, what we thought of the the comments, and some deeper discussion about KF. We discuss the fan base, the negative bubble around Iowa, who the team belongs too, and being patient for change. We talk about the possibility of NIL changing the sentiment amongst fans towards players, and a whole lot more. Plus we do our Ward's Winners and finish with some QB thoughts.

Ohio State Recap | WUW 362 Oct 24, 2022

The guys discuss the 54-10 loss from the weekend. Thoughts on how well the Defense actually played despite the OSU score being so high. Discussion about Padilla being brought in at half, if we think he got a fair shot, and how that position battle should be handled moving forward. Thoughts on the some outside ideas about the locker room being split, and players having bad blood with each other. What we saw with the special teams that was unlike the standard Iowa usually produces, and why Tory Taylor took off on that punt.

Rocky Top(s) Bama | WUW 360 Oct 17, 2022

An amazing weekend of college football is in the books, one that the Iowa Hawkeyes did not participate in. The boys recap their picks from last episode after hearing about Kevin's weekend away at a Fall wedding. They discuss the big game of the weekend where Alabama fell to Tennessee on a last second field goal that was actually a total shank. Then a conversation about the Big Ten West ensues where the league is completely flipped on its head from just 6 years ago. Purdue holds off Nebby to stay tied for the lead in the division with the Fighting Illini. We talk about what the back half of the season could look like for the Hawks starting with this week against Ohio St, and a whole more.

Bye Week Roundtable | WUW 359 Oct 13, 2022

The Bye week is here and should provide a little relief from both Hawkeye players and fans.

We discuss our leading thoughts on the game, the Defense, the Special Teams, and of course the Offense. We share insight into how we are processing the lack of production on the field, and what the Bye week might look like practice wise for the Hawks. The mindset moving forward, the difficulties of being former players and having to call a spade a spade, and more. There's a Krispy Kreme story, a beautiful cover of 69 points, and Kevin in a plain white Tee.

Illinois Preview | WUW 357 Oct 06, 2022

In this episode we talk about what comes to mind when we think Illinois football, memories from our games against the Illini, thoughts about their stadium and locker room and what Bielema has done so far in Champaign. We get a brief aural cameo from Ryan Ward and ponder why he hasn't been on the show yet.

Michigan Recap + Chryst Gets Axed | WUW 356 Oct 03, 2022

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. We also discuss how the Big Ten West is completely up for grabs this year and how Iowa could still make a run.

Michigan Preview | WUW 355 Sep 29, 2022

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 Sep 26, 2022

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?".

Rutgers Preview | WUW 353 Sep 22, 2022

We dive into the Hawkeyes first Away game of the season and what the keys for an Iowa victory will be this weekend in Piscataway, NJ.

Why is SP more comfortable with Nico on the field, and will Iowa continue to take shots in the passing game to help open up their entire Offense. We recap the bets from last week and debut the Week 4 edition of Wards Winners complete with the DRF Boost of the week!

Nevada Recap | WUW 352 Sep 19, 2022

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.

Nevada Preview(Fun, Positive Vibes Only) | WUW 351 Sep 15, 2022

Iowa State Recap + Frost Gets Fired | WUW 350 Sep 12, 2022

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.

Iowa State Preview | WUW 349 Sep 08, 2022

Its Cy-Hawk week. The in-state rivalry is renewed once more and Iowa State could be going into this game as confident as they have since their last win in 2014. The Hawks look to find their footing on Offense while the D and Special Teams will continue to carry the squad. 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. We also speculate on why the O line is in such a dire spot, and if coaching could have something to do with that. We drop a brand new 'Walkon Top 5' and Ward's Winners returns!

Cy-Hawk Week | Walkon LIVE Show Sep 07, 2022

The first full edition of our new Walkon LIVE Show. This is going to be a LIVE-stream that happens on Tuesdays around 4pm Central time, where listeners and fans can call into the show and interact with the boys!

South Dakota State Recap | WUW 348 Sep 05, 2022

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 Sep 01, 2022

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.

The Seat Isn't Frosty | WUW 346 Aug 29, 2022

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.

Gary Dolphin | WUW 345 Aug 25, 2022

The Voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Gary Dolphin, makes his second appearance on the show. Listening to Gary talk Hawks, Iowa City, Kinnick, or really ANY topic is simply mesmerizing. His voice is synonymous with football season, the black and gold, happiness for many. In this episode we dive deep into a discussion about his recent trip across the world to Europe, some fun history on Kinnick Stadium, His bar in Dubuque, The Field of Dreams, Coach Parker, His thoughts on the team this coming fall, and a dozen little legendary stories that he works in between all of these conversations. 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 Aug 22, 2022

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.

Kinnick: The Documentary w/Scott Siepker | WUW 343 Aug 18, 2022

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.

Ross Peterson Of Sports Fanatics | WUW 342 Aug 15, 2022

Ross is a Des Moines native, and after graduating from East High school in the metro, wasn't exactly sure what was next. He talks about how he found his way into the radio business and got behind the mic, which has now led him to his own show called Sports Fanatics during the 3-6 hours on KXNO in Des Moines, Iowa. We discuss plenty more of his background, some similarities of the podcast/radio fields of entertainment, we talk Iowa football and some expectations surrounding this season, and of course touch on some of our Iowa State Fair highlights, as this episode was recorded in person at the Crystal Studios on the fairgrounds.

Bill Perkins | WUW 341 Aug 11, 2022

Bill was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1969. His Father played football for the Hawks, eventually earning his degree and moving on to Seton Hall Law. Bill followed in his dads footsteps as he didn't quite have a plan until after college. We talk about what those year were like, how Bill felt he was wasting his potential and never really giving a full effort, and how all of that eventually drove the change to chase big dreams. After earning his own degree is electrical engineering he moved to New York, got into oil trading, energy markets, and eventually started his own hedge fund. A belief in himself that he was capable of stepping up to the plate and hitting home runs with his work ethic allowed him to do the required jobs that would provide him the lifestyle he wanted to live. We discuss what he learned after becoming 'rich' and what he would go back and change. We talk about his memories of conditioning at Iowa, what he thinks of Kinnick stadium and the current day Game Day environment, playing poker with the best in the world, being friends with Dan Bilzerian, and a whole lot more!

Brad Heinrichs - The Swarm Collective | WUW 340 Aug 08, 2022

On the show today is Brad Heinrichs. He is a 1997 graduate of the University of Iowa and former Hawkeye Golfer. After graduating and leaving Iowa City to pursue being an Actuary, and eventually starting his own Actuarial Firm in Fort Myers, Florida, He has now set his sights on being the head man for what hopefully becomes the Iowa Hawkeyes thriving, annual NIL source. Brad formed The Swarm Collective recently which seeks to approach the new world of college athletes making money by doing the right way. Hear how he has structed the Collective and how the Hawks will be able to profit off of their name, image, and likeness. We also dive deep into the general discussion of NIL, big money, projections, and his best ever round of Golf.

Kennington Lloyd Smith III | WUW 339 Aug 04, 2022

Known also as Skinny Kenny, DJ Octane, and several other nicknames from friends, Kennington as you will soon find out is an absolute grinder in the world of Sports media/journalism. A guy with the passion, dedication, desire, AND though he's only 27, the experience you would ask for when looking for someone to cover your team. Listen to his story from 12 yrs old in middle school to now 15 years later as one of the newer beat writers in the Iowa sports scene, and you will hear the love he has for the game of journalism and the work ethic bleed through his answers.

Back From Vacation | WUW 338 Aug 01, 2022

After a rare 2 week break Drake and Tyler sit down to catch up and gather themselves and the show as we round our way to 1 month our from college football. We talk a little bit about the escapades of our recent trips across the country, discuss some small bits from Big Ten media days in Indy, brush over NFL starting camp and Wirfs housing Krispy Kremes mid practice, and some other topics. We also break down what is to come in the next month including some potential for new and expanded content under the Walkon umbrella.

David Eickholt Part 2 | WUW 337 Jul 28, 2022

In part 2 of the David Eickholt sit down we get into actual Iowa Football specific Talk. What are David's biggest questions for the Hawkeyes as we get closer to the 2022 season. Some more details about the departure of Charlie Jones, and who could help fill that spot on special teams. What is our best lineup at Receiver and who fits where, and who is going to play the Cash position that has become so meaningful to the last couple renditions of Phil Parkers defense? How warm is Brian's seat as OC and how does moving to QB coach change things for this year? And finally, where are we with QB potential with Petras/Padilla/Labas but also the 2 commits' Carson May and Marco Lainez.

David Eickholt Part 1 | WUW 336 Jul 25, 2022

In Part 1 of the Eickholt sit-down we dive deeper into the world of Journalism, and specifically the Iowa landscape that David has worked himself into.

In Todays recap episode some larger looming conversations really start to come to a head as the Big Ten Championship, one the Hawks still have a chance at competing in, is less than 2 weeks away. Would we actually choose to not play in the title game if it means we had to most likely get womped by OSU? Padilla now has almost 3 full games under his belt as the starter, we discuss the WR drops, and his performance and who we would go with at QB moving forward assuming Spencer is back to full health. We break down the Illinois game of course and how the Illini completely switched up the game plan against the Hawkeyes, why they were able to find success on a long first scoring drive, and how we faired with several key defenders out with injury. We talk the Good and the Bad from Special Teams on Saturday. We also talk the emotions of senior day, as we look back and remember what it was like for us to walk the tunnel one final time, and what it's like now to watch guys play their last game.

Illinois Preview | WUW 268 Nov 18, 2021

In Drakes first half of this episode we discuss the lull of Illinois, some opposing locker room and environment details that make a game easier or harder to play, and why Illinois sucks. We talk about kicking our Maryland Illinois and Rutgers from the Big Ten, and we briefly touch on some optics for Saturday and how Iowa should win this game. Most of the breakdown is left to Kevin. We discuss Ohio St and their game against MSU this weekend, we ponder the question, can Nebraska pull off the miracle with no coaches and beat Wisconsin? We discuss Matt Campbells comments from his media this week about his teams goals and if he will eventually sneak out of Ames. We finish with Drakes picks of the week.
In Kevin's half of the podcast we start by discussing porta-pottys at a chili festival, working out, and how Pre-workouts use to have the chemical makeup very close to meth. We get into some deeper Illinois break down and how they have been able to find small success this year, especially defensively over the last month against teams like PSU and Minnesota. We discuss their running attack, how they mix up their looks, and how Iowa will likely defend those looks. I bring up the same Nebraska, and Matt Campbell topics to Kevin to get his thoughts. And Riley Moss doesn't have a PCL which just so happens to be the case for Kevin, he explains how that injury affected him and what Riley will have to do to return to 100%. We finish with Ward's Winners.

Get your holiday gear. Then we get to the important stuff like what were we thinking at the end of the game trying to let those Gophers back in? Well, maybe what happened on the field was actually our best option. We dissect the whole thing plus, Alex Padilla was officially the guy this past week front to back and how did he fair? Is he the answer moving forward with now almost 2 games of data?

We finish the episode trying to decipher the punt that was blocked.

Northwestern Preview | WUW 264 Nov 04, 2021

This episode is debuting as the episode right before the game in Evanston, but the previewing of Northwestern really doesn't go much further than that. We do talk about how Iowa should be able to regain some confidence in the running game and potentially get back on track with the Defensive domination that we saw the first 5 weeks. The meat of this episode includes many other topics such as Mel Kiper's latest draft rankings and where our Hawks fall by position.

Wisconsin Recap | WUW 263 Nov 01, 2021

You probably don't want to listen, but in an odd way you may enjoy this episode more than others, as the guys have to get REAL. Honest, authentic, no holding back conversation about the state of Iowa Football right now, and how this ship can possibly, if at all, get back on track. We talk about the disappointment of the Offensive struggles and how to potentially make things better. Who do we believe should be playing QB for the hawks, what grade do we give Brian Ferentz, and what is wrong with this line? Does this start to cause friction on the locker room on opposing sides of the ball? And if so who steps up to do something about it? What does that do for the culture of the team. We also discuss how a successful season still is reach for the Hawks, and a whole lot more.

Wisconsin Preview | WUW 262 Oct 28, 2021

In part one Drake and Tyler discuss the ins and outs of playing Wisconsin. Camp Randall, the 3-4 defense, why they give Iowa fits, the physicality of the game and more. They also talk about why this game is the perfect one coming out of the Bye week and the key stats to Saturdays matchup, which hinge on how well the defenses have done with turnovers this year.

Then we quickly cover his time in Pro Wrestling from start to finish and the crazy things he has experienced in the last 12 years.

Purdue Preview | WUW 257 Oct 14, 2021

We sit down to preview Purdue, but it really isn't heavily Boilermaker focused in this one. We have a cool discussion into the X's and O's of the Matt Hankins 4th down stop from Saturday and how that could have potentially gone very bad for the Hawks. We also offer our opinions on the Ferentz/Franklin media comments about the injuries being real or fake.. Its like that one dress optical illusion, is it blue or pink? We also talk about some of the mindset of knowing you are 'supposed to win' and what that feels like week in and week out. Kevin was in a heated HOA meeting, we need to make Franklin the Turtle shirts, and Drake seeks Phil Parkers approval.. Plus as always we have Wards Winners. All of that and more!

Penn State Recap | WUW 256 Oct 11, 2021

90+ minutes of Hawkeye content. Those Hawkeyes, your Hawkeyes, are ranked #2 in the nation right now and we break down the ENTIRE game from Saturday where Iowa overcame Penn State 23-20. It was a week that felt like a month and it culminated in the best game Kinnick has seen in decades. The boys sit down to discuss every part of Saturday from Ettore 'Big E' Ewen giving the nation a "Hawks By A Million' and basting our brand into outer space, to the Injury issues that seemed to plague Penn State at the perfect, most opportune times. We talk Offensive struggles especially early in the game, Iowa getting 4 more interceptions, Clifford getting hurt, Nico's big catch, and everything in between. What a weekend it was, now sit back and debrief it all with us, the Walkons.

Penn State Preview | WUW 255 Oct 07, 2021

They talk managing the emotion and Drake gives his keys to the game. We also give some updates on flags, sleepers for the NICU, and merchandise coming down the line. In the second half of this episode Kevin joins the show and talks us through what it was like for him in weeks where the game was just 'bigger'. Kevin describes what the time at the hotel was like before a game, and we talk about the 'business trip' mindset. We discuss if we think that this era of Hawkeye Football is pushing to take over the West Division and become the team to beat for good. We also discuss Iowa's upcoming 'biggest recruiting weekend' ever, and if this Saturday alone could actually play a vital role in shaping the future of Iowa football. We finish with Wards Winners and our final thoughts on the matchup.

Maryland Recap | WUW 254 Oct 04, 2021

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.

Maryland Preview | WUW 253 Sep 30, 2021

Drake rejoins the show after his mysterious absence on Mondays episode and he actually brings some really good analysis on what he thinks is best for the Iowa Offense right now, the O-line specifically. We do some funny current event stuff, the Niemanns jersey swapped, an OSU player quit mid game, and you could walk on at Arizona this year! We also read some more podcast reviews. We talk about the vertical passing game opening up and if we think that has something to do with practice progression from Spencer Petras. Then, Dylan Spilko joins us from out East, he is the Top Deputy Editor or the Testudo Times, the Maryland school publication, and offers his insight on Terrapin personnel, and helps us better understand the matchup ahead on Friday night. We finish with Ward's Winners and an in the dumps Kevin, who just wants to win some bets.

Colorado State Recap | WUW 252 Sep 27, 2021

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.

Colorado State Preview | WUW 251 Sep 23, 2021

The guys discuss what the Hawks face as challenges moving in to week 4, which includes but is not limited to the Rams from CSU. They talk vertical passing game progression, run game, the Hawkeyes scoring defense, and what this game 'should' look like. They also talk Spencer Lee on Bussin with the Boys, Charlie Jones and Lou Malnatis pizza, and Josey Jewell's season ending injury. They recall the night of the Penn St game 2016 from Kickoff through falling asleep at 2:30 am, Walmart guy story is retold, and Ward's Winners is back for Week 4. They also answer some questions from the fans, and what is the better brownie, the middle or the edge?

Kent State Recap | WUW 250 Sep 20, 2021

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.

Kent State Preview | WUW 249 Sep 16, 2021

Kevin and Tyler give their final thoughts on ISU as Kevin makes his return to the pod back from vacation on Monday. The focus eventually shifts to Kent St and what challenges the Flashes pose for the Hawkeyes this upcoming Saturday. We read a couple podcast reviews that are very entertaining, we talk NIL deals and why Caseys needs to hand Riley Moss the keys to their brand, and we briefly touch on what COULD BE with Penn St coming to Iowa City is a months time. How does the Kent St up tempo offense really affect a defense? What does the offense do to find rhythm in this game? Should Iowa actually be worried about a trap game? These questions and more PLUS the segment everyone hates to love, Wards Winners Week 3.

Iowa State Recap | WUW 248 Sep 13, 2021

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!

Iowa State Preview | WUW 247 Sep 09, 2021

A THICK Cy-Hawk preview. This episode has a lot going down as we react on the fly to something serious that happens minutes before recording the episode.

Indiana Recap | WUW 246 Sep 06, 2021

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 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.

What is Chauncey's ceiling in Dallas? What kind of impact will ISM have in Minnesota? Could we be looking back in a few years saying Daviyon was the BIGGEST steal of the 2021 draft? Will Nick carve out a career that mirrors what Ben has been able to do with the Chiefs?

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.

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.

WUW 120 | Colin Fisher May 28, 2020

Colin joined the Iowa program as a manager in the fall of 2015. Colin comes to the show to provide an interesting perspective on Iowa football that this podcast hasn't seen before.

They set up and tear down practice, they prepare the locker room and equipment for game days. They transport equipment to the stadium, they drive guys back and forth from the hotel during camp, they assist with meals, and so much more. Colin is one of the truly good dudes that spent time as a manager at Iowa and it was a joy to talk about all of this on the podcast.
