Black Heart Gold Pants: For Iowa Hawkeyes Fans

The guys return from a hiatus to discuss Iowa's loss to Wisconsin and Harrison poses the question: was there any point during the game it felt like Iowa would win? The discussion turned towards Minnesota, as Ben is from there and Max lives there now because they're our new overlords. Before finishing off the podcast, Harrison poses another question after coming to the realization that 10 wins is still in play: is there any scenario where that would feel good? It's good to be back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Harrison wanted to do the pod with his wife but she left to play video games midway through the first half. So he decided to do it solo and give his assessment of where Iowa needs to go before the schedule heats up. Spoiler alert: Iowa plays last year's runner up in 17 days so there's not much time to make huge changes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Harrison went to the game and Ben went to the aquarium. Max was in Iowa City but is feeling under the weather. The pair on the pod share their different experiences from the weekend with one being much more freeing than the other. The conversation turns to the Northwestern game and to say they're pessimistic is an understatement! Could it be worse? Iowa could be 2-point dogs to Indiana at home so of course it could and the conversation closes out with some Nebraska talk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Harrison hops on the podcast with his wife to chat through Iowa's loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions. They talked about their frustration with the offense and borderline heroic effort from the defense (again and again) before discussing at length what feels like chemistry issues between Nate Stanley, the line, and skill guys (to say nothing of the play calling). Where does the fault end with the coaches and begin with the players? It was a fun pod despite the loss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ben was at a wedding so he couldn't join Max and Harrison as their air their frustrations about the Hawkeyes poor performance against Michigan. In addition to that, Harrison had a concert rain out on Saturday so rough day all around. The discussion begins with the playcalling before moving to Nate Stanley. How long can he have "potentially legacy defining drives" before that becomes his legacy? Then they talk about Kirk Ferentz's sneaky progressive take on athlete pay before they look forward to the Penn State game, which makes it sound much more optimistic than it actually is.
