As long as ISU is winning, you guys might want to check out the Kings of the North podcast. It's done by a couple of Ohio State beat writers where they basically talk about the northern teams (hence the name). It probably wouldn't be very interesting to you if ISU loses a couple of games but as long as ISU is contending for a conference championship might be fun listen. They had some glowing things to say about ISU on the monday episode.

Find it funny how Hawk fans are trashing our schedule on the KXNO shows when they've basically been labeled "the fake ID of college football" the past few years because of their weak schedule. They went 10-2 last year before the postseason playing 1 ranked team which they got spanked 31-0. Then finished with 2 ranked teams and got spanked 26-0 and 35-0 so that's 3 shutout losses to ranked teams and barely squeaking by some other mediocre and crap Big 10 teams. 2022 they went 8-4 and lost 27-14 and 54-10 to the only 2 ranked teams on their schedule. 2021 they actually beat 3 ranked teams, 2 of those were non-conference then once again spanked in the Big 10 championship by Michigan 42-3 and lose by 3 in their bowl game.

I don't want to hear this crap from Hawk fans about our schedule when Iowa has had multiple years of cushy conference schedules that put them in the running for the Big 10 championship game where they get exposed for who they really are. We still have some tough games coming up on the back half of our schedule, I think this one Saturday is going to be tough as WVU has already beat KU and OSU who coming into the were picked 3rd and 4th while us and them were picked 6th and 7th. We still have Utah on the road who was picked to win the conference and K-State at the end of the year who were picked 2nd. Coming into the season we didn't have ASU BYU CU and TCU on our schedule that were 4 of the bottom 7 teams picked in the preseason. If we make if to the Big 12 championship game it will be earned because we had to play 6 of the teams picked to finish in the top 9 coming into this season. I'm not looking that far ahead, 1 game at a time we have a lot of FB to play but I don't want to hear Hawk fans crying about our schedule if that happens. It's not like we've won close games to the teams we have played, other than Iowa we won by 18 45 20 and 22 which is more than Iowa was doing last year against the bottom feeders in the Big 10 West.
Hassel did the math on 2GNC and it was 160+ given up to ranked teams before the garbage time TD vs tOSU.

This has already been shared in the Ireland trip thread, but deserves a spot here too. The trip that Sean and Heather are promoting (and going on) is linked below. Check out the agenda and see if you can spot the foul:

Expensive trip. Do like the premium padded seating though.

Has anybody listened? I'm curious if Keith was pussyfooting around or if Doyle was willing to trash Iowa. I'm not enough of a glutton for punishment to find out.

Is there a lot of demand for washed up, racist strength and condition coaches "where are they now?" pieces?
Ha I had the same reaction, Who was asking for this?

I guess I'll listen at some point but reaction online is that Murph actually asked good questions, but Doyle gave mostly non-answers
