Ben & Harrison exalt all that is great about the current state of the Iowa/Minnesota rivalry. The pettiness on both sides! The offense clicked in only 53 plays of offense.

Ben and Harrison began by discussing Ben's cooking and this Alton Brown tweet. They move along to discuss the predictability of Iowa's loss to Northwestern (does the wind get too much credit in the Hawkeye loss?) and general grievances about the program. After the break, they discuss whether they expect Ihmir Smith-Marsette back - some of which doen't age well considering Kirk Ferentz's discussion of the topic - and if attrition is likely to occur over the remainder of the season. They close with an unnamed basketball minute. Sorry to the freshmen for not getting their countdown posts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After drowning our frustrations from the Iowa-Purdue game in various red meats, Ben and Harrison open with a discussion of beef and how Ben's cooking has improved over the last 7 months. They look back at some of their instant podcast takes and have some amendments to them after letting them stew for 3 rewatches between the two of them. There's some Micah Hyde love because of course there is. Their sights set on Northwestern and Pat Fitzgerald and whoa, did you know the Wildcats put up 352 rushing yards against Maryland? Wawaweewa. Harrison goes deep into his fear of Fitzgerald and revisit his least favorite stat about Kirk and close games. Never fun! They try and find some optimism, though! They end the pod with an unexpected conversation about stand-up comedy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hawkeyes lost 24-20, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the box score. Wait, turnovers and penalties are part of the box score? You would know it. Iowa shot themselves in the foot time and again yet the only topics Ben and Harrison had to discuss were in the event of a Hawkeye win so it turned into a bit of a vent session. Some notes: Ihmir Smith-Marsette had zero receptions; 24 points for Purdue should be enough to win; Robin-Williams-it's-not-your-fault.gif to Barrington Wade; wildcat!
