This week we had the pleasure of bringing on writer Rodger Sherman of the Road Rodge series to help preview the CyHawk game. Rodger will be in attendance in Ames so we covered all the most important things about how to pander to Iowa State fans, how a non-Iowan looks at the game, the origins of "El Assico", how the rivalry survives with both schools in different conferences, making fun of Iowa's offense, NIL beer wars, and so much more!You can find Rodger's work on Twitter @rodger and if you want to support his trip across the country you can become a patron for as little as $5/month on Patreon at Road Rodge.
Editor's Note: Oops! Keelin is 22 minutes in the future on this episode. We will be posting a new one, so you can actually hear the episode and not feel like you're having a stroke, but a time traveling kind of goof… kind of fits?Three hundred years have passed since the El Assico point-shaving scandal, an incident which started a series of revelations that Iowa-Iowa State may not have been disaster football simply because of its nature, but because players like Arland Bruce IV were allegedly betting the under and then falling down, tackled by nobody, a few yards short of touchdowns. Already, college football has been realigned into conferences based on teams' nicknames (see below), and now it's up to Keelin, Britt, and Commish from our friends the Sickos Committee to step up, as requested by President Yeshaha Hayes, and pick one team from each of those conferences to make their own leagues, the only surviving FBS football for the 24th century.Or something like that. We had fun. Here are the conferences that Jesse made for the podcasters to draft from.And here are the conferences that will move forward, for 2332 and beyond: This is a public episode.

Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, son of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, and frequent Willets Pod punching bag, has a challenge to keep his job beyond 2023: score 25 points per game. Can he do it?Let's take another angle on this, and check out how Iowa did the last time they faced each of these opponents…Utah State — 48-7 (h), 2002: Nate Kaeding was Iowa's leading scorer with two field goals and six extra points, of which four were actually scored by the offense (all by different players), plus a blocked punt and a fumble return. This Iowa team had Dallas Clark, and he did not score in this game. @ Iowa State — 7-10 (h), 2022: Leshon Williams ran 14 times for 34 yards and the Hawkeyes' only score of last year's El Assico.Western Michigan — 59-3 (h), 2013: Sure, seems like a cupcake. This was Iowa's only win, ever, against the Broncos, who came to Kinnick Stadium and scored victories in 2000 and 2007.@ Penn State — 23-20 (h), 2021: Caleb Shudak hit two field goals and PATs after two (2) Spencer Petra's passing TDs to pace Iowa with eight points. Michigan State – 49-7 (h), 2020: The pandemic year sure was weird, as Iowa scored nothing but touchdowns, including two apiece by co-leading scorers Tyler Goodson and Mekhi Sargent, each with a pair of single-digit yard scoring runs. There were also return touchdowns by Charlie Jones on a punt and Riley Moss on an interception. It's still Iowa.Purdue – 24-3 (a), 2022: Iowa scored three offensive touchdowns against the Boilermakers last year, but this would still be below target for Brian Ferentz. You have to ask if that's really fair, and then ask, who cares?@ Wisconsin – 24-10 (h), 2022: Another game in which the Hawkeyes' victorious performance of a year ago would be below Brian's standards. Sure, Iowa only had 146 yards of total offense and 11 first downs against Wisconsin last year, and capitalized on three turnovers, but… uh…Minnesota – 13-10 (a), 2022: All Brian Ferentz does is lead winning offenses, and all Iowa asks for is more… than one touchdown (on a one-yard QB sneak) and two field goals. The Hawkeyes had 280 yards of offense and fumbled three times in Minneapolis in November, but didn't lose any of them, and collected two Gophers turnovers.@ Northwestern – 33-13 (h), 2022: Kicker Drew Stevens was responsible for 15 of those points (four field goals, three extra points)... at home… against 2022 Northwestern.Rutgers – 27-20 (a), 2022: How did Iowa get its 27 points in New Jersey last year? Interception return, fumble return, field goal, two-yard touchdown run, field goal. A fat 277 yards of offense… and a 3-0 turnover margin.Illinois – 6-9 (a), 2022: This game had no touchdowns. How did Iowa lose a game with no touchdowns in it?@ Nebraska – 17-24 (h), 2022: Iowa was down 24-0 in the third quarter before getting on the scoreboard. The Hawkeyes had 274 yards of offense in this game.That's a total of 330 points — 27.5 per game. All Iowa has to do is match what it did against each of its 2023 opponents the last time they faced them, and Brian keeps his job. And that's with a six-point game against Illinois allowed in there. And, for some reason, Iowa-Northwestern this year will be at Wrigley Field, it was announced this morning. This is a public episode.

Please go subscribe and like their podcast and leave your hot takes about this game in the reviews. 1. Offense vs Hawaii starts at 1:00 Big Ten relegation! Let's talk about JJ. 11/12 on passing and the one miss hit Ronnie in the facemask. Harbaugh announces JJ as the starter for UConn without even checking the tape. JJ made some opponent invariant throws that we're excited about. Cade had every opportunity to keep his job and he just didn't execute. How can you explain his dip in performance as anything but him looking over his shoulder? CJ Stokes looks like a Karan Higdon type runner. Max Bredeson had a nice catch and started to outrun the entire defense! Donovan Edwards vs Blake Corum. Offensive line performance after shuffling people around - there is some room for improvement. Did the offensive line have a revolt against Cade when they gave up those sacks?? (No, no they did not). [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense vs Hawaii starts at 35:20 *slaps Seth on the wrist* Not a whole lot to say here. The 3rd string defense was... maybe not great? Rayshaun Benny looked pretty good. Michael Barrett was an insider linebacker which you probably don't want to do against Wisconsin (who Michigan doesn't play anyways). RJ Moten just needs to catch one. Amorion Walker on offense and defense? Did Rayshaun Benny bring back the belly rub?? 3. Hot Takes, Special Teams, and Game Theory starts at 51:43 Takes hotter than JJ McCarthy on Saturday night (there it is). Dave vs The Voice, find out what happens. Is it a sad field goal if you're Hawaii? Shouldn't Hawaii be getting a lot of great transfers? Because how awesome would it be to just live in Hawaii for four years (like their kicker/punter). AJ Henning punt return discussion - has some good returns, might've made a couple iffy decisions. No field goals but Jake Moody had a kickoff field goal. Brad Robbins punts it to the moon. Michigan scored touchdowns from within the red zone! 4. Around the Big Ten With Jamie Mac starts at 1:13:39 10-7 is the perfect ¡El Assico! score. Kirk Ferentz, why have you not fired your son? Iowa blocked two punts and scored seven points?? Could this maybe be the beginning of the end of Kirk Ferentz? Georgia Southern put up 642(!!!) yards against Nebraska!? Both of these teams went 3-9 last season. Scott Frost was fired just after the recording of this podcast so that is not discussed. Coming into this game, Nebraska was 214-0 when scoring 35 or more points at home. Now they are 214-1. Wisconsin outgains Wazzu 401-253 but loses... This is not good Washington State either. Northwestern can't complete a 21-0 deficit in a 31-23 loss to Duke. Is Illinois... the best looking team in the West right now? Every other Big Ten game was a blowout.

Katie (@KatesOfHeaven) and Victoria (@dirtbagqueer) dive headfirst into their first doubleheader recap episode! Katie leads us through the weekend in college football before the baton is passed to Victoria for the NFL segment. - Katie is introduced as the new interim head coach of the USC Trojans - Victoria waxes poetic about Joe Milton, her new favorite football player - El Assico outdid itself this year, huh - Victoria and Katie both panic about the state of their NFL teams - [frantic gesturing in the direction of Ravens at Raiders] Thanks for listening!

Week 3 is in the books, we invite Corwin from the Juicing the Numbers podcast on to discuss what was El Assico, Narduzzi's great coaching, Stanford getting dunked on, and the state of the Pac-12. We also make predictions on which currently undefeated team will finish with the worst record, how far TCU can go, and make our Week 4 Picks! Additional Topics – Les Miles, Mack Brown, and Herm Edwards common thread, the Penn State experience, Kyle Trask's big game against Kentucky, Hugh Freeze's Seat of the Week ™
Week 3 brought us some upsets across the nation as well as some exciting finishes for teams close to our heart. El Assico lived up to its name, USC has a lot of questions to answer, and ACC schools are making panicky hires of ‘special assistants’ to salvage their respective seasons.
We didn't necessarily learn a lot in Week 3, but what we did was important: just because Iowa-Iowa State is El Assico doesn't mean several other games aren't also El Assico. Looking at you, Florida-Kentucky. And Pitt-Penn State. And Michigan State-Arizona State. BONUS: stay to the end and learn about the dumbest midgame crowd entertainment plan ever, courtesy of Indiana!
It's the bye week, and that means hoops preview edition. Except we have to laugh about MSU first, duh. The Sponsors We can do this because people support us. You should support them! The show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan we’d be all be very sad ex-Vox employees with “real” jobs. Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, The Phil Klein Insurance Group, FuegoBox, and Perrin Brewing -------------------------------------------- [After THE JUMP: A dozen done dirty] 1. Backcourt & Sparty No! starts at 1:00 The Sparty No!ment: give up a Vinny Testaverde Techmo Bowl first down, get a gift PI call, unnecessary fire drill field goal they make but there's a 12th guy on the field, misses the second by lots, complains about officiating: CALL 9-1-2! Shape of the program could change radically. Up-tempo? Turnovers? Posting? Auto-benching no more? Who are we? X's team, obviously. X should learn a left hook. The two is a ???? but we're guessing it's Teske despite being huge for the two because that seems the most promising lineup. DDJ and Nunez had disappointing starts for guys with supposedly great shots. Bajema is a Caris-ian X factor. 2. Frontcourt starts at 32:45 What's Livers, and what happens when he tries to basketball more because he seems to be a pretty good basketball player. His pull-up is a good bad shot. His defense is statistically Matthews-like but not Matthews-like. Michigan needs him on the court as much as possible. The four is Brandon Johns or Livers, pending a big leap from Brandon Johns that could mean a lot for this team. Certainly he's an athlete, numbers shot up, is jacked, decent shooter in high school, what does Juwan want to do with a GRIII type? If it's rebounding and athleticism Johns is in business. Colin Castleton: Reuvers-style four? Certainly a Wagner-style five when Teske is off the floor, which is like never. Second to Bol Bol in high school at swatting. What do you want Teske's foul rate to be? They also have a 6'10" guy from Columbia (not THAT Columbia). 3. Big Ten Hoops Outlook starts at 59:46 Hot takes of the week. The conference looks weird: big one and everyone else. Michigan State gets back Winston and Tillman, the end. Aaron Henry looks like he's going to be a player too. Torvik has a mess after that: Purdue (#7 nationally), return Haarms, no Carsen Edwards, Eastern as a PG..this is way overrating Purdue? Turgeon's coaching is now underrated; time to take the Terps seriously. Illinois: if Dosunmu isn't one of the best players in the conf it's an upset. OSU has a point guard. Torvik has PSU #19 in the country but uh… Wisconsin's scorer is…oh we're going to hate this team. Michigan shouldn't be behind a team replacing its entire offense and a team that's like How do you offense? Next team on this list is Rutgers after a disaster of an offseason—Torvik loves Geo Baker maybe? Indiana bad but they added Joey Brunk. His Hoop-Lens on/off splits are incredible: 4. Around the Big Ten wsg Jamie Mac starts at 1:36:15 The John L. Smith special. El Assico ends in the most El Assico way possible after they build weird scores with 2's and 3's. Minnesota lucky to to be 0-3 against three cupcakes. OSU murderates Indiana, who loses Penix, OSU looks complete. Penn State plays an MSU game with Pitt, as Pitt does. Narduzzi went for a field goal down 7, 4th and goal from the one, burned a timeout….WTF!?! Missed it of course. Pitt also outgained them. Maryland's offense fizzles out behind a bad OL. Purdue bloops out to TCU.

The rivalry game fondly known as "El Assico" on the internet will actually feature two good teams this weekend as Iowa/Iowa State play. Ames is the College Gameday for the first time ever. Fans will be going nuts in Iowa, but will the game be any good? Well, typically it isn't, but maybe this time it will be. I break down the teams, but, if I'm honest you should tune in only for an amazing song about Ames.
USC, come here and have some tea. Texas, we brought you epsom salts. Florida, you look like - oh, you're dead? Apparently you're dead. That's fun. Week 2 had plenty of pain and suffering for the shuffling crusty former titans of college football, as well as fun performances from Clemson-Texas A&M, USF-Georgia Tech, and Michigan State-Arizona State. Also, Jason was the only non Iowa or Iowa State fan who watched all of El Assico and in doing so he discovered a MASSIVE ESPN MEDIA LIESPIRACY.
Memphis-Navy, UCLA-Oklahoma, Clemson-aTm, Georgia-Cocks, ¡El Assico! Editor's note: Sparty QB Brian Lewerke; not Mike Mularkey or whatever it was I said
SB Nation's Charles McDonald talks about the Falcons, the 2018 NFL season, and bridging together the worlds of college and pro football. Also: WEEK 2 PREVIEW! Mississippi State-Kansas State, Penn State-Pitt, a varied tasting menu, and a non-sarcastic appreciation for Iowa-Iowa State. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Colton and Matt preview Ohio State's week 2 game versus Oklahoma, and whether they're confident that the Buckeyes will beat the Sooners for the second time in two seasons. The guys break down why the middle of Ohio State's defense will be tested more than it was against Indiana, getting a push from the offensive line, and other keys to the game. They also look at a loaded slate of games on Saturday, why they think Auburn can beat Clemson, and of course, EL ASSICO. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

--Week two is so bad Spencer stumbles over the intro before the show even starts --Oh, we get to discuss Texas/ND and Ole Miss/FSU! Which were both pleasing to the hater in different and yet still equally satisfying parts --A review of Iowa v. Iowa State, aka ¡El Assico!, the game some Iowa fans get mad at us for even noticing. "It's like you're pooping in the woods and someone looks." ---Jason Kirk, football genius, giving us the perfect analogy for this. --A discussion of relevant airplane drinking --Okay we're done discussing Iowa --NOPE. Ryan goes off on Iowa extending Kirk Ferentz to a contract that none of us understand, but that Ryan REALLY doesn't understand. --Okay Ryan goes on for a while longer about this, and we point out other coaches who did what Ferentz did and got fired. Hi, Mark Richt! --A lengthy discussion of how having a child will not make Ryan a better, more mature person, and also that one time Spencer yelled at a pair of FSU fans in front of his children. Also calling Florida State fans "headcrab-ass people", which is to be expected here.
FARMERS ONLY THIS WEEK. The Shutdown Fullcast this week covers the agriculturingest slate of teams we've covered yet, including: --Nebraska, a team that on further examination reveals itself to have absolutely no predictability whatsoever for 2016. None. Look at that schedule and find more than two sure wins or two sure losses in either direction. Do it and die. --Virginia, an outlier here because a.) Virginia has not farmed since the 1800s and b.) all three of us admit that we will not watch more than three combined quarters of UVA football this year even with a new coach, because we never watch more than three combined quarters of Virginia football in any calendar year --Clemson! The thinkin' farmer's school, which happens to be good enough at scoring points to realistically outpace anyone trying to keep up with them this year. Deshaun Watson ran for a thousand yards and threw for over 4,000 last year and gets his best receiver back. Do not stare directly at the Clemson offense; do not handle it without protective goggles and lead aprons. --Oklahoma! Watch how much we don't talk about Bob Stoops having Joe Mixon as someone who somehow gets to play football this year. --It would be a shame to demean the sucecss of Iowa football in 2015 and their promise for 2016 by just talking about ¡EL ASSICO! and how badly Iowa got trashed in the Rose Bowl by Stanford. This, however, is a podcast built on shame. This is pretty much what we do.
