Can This Hawkeye O-Line Be 'Great' ? | WUW 448

The clock ticks down to 9 days away from Hawkeye Football and the guys sit down to discuss a variety of topics. We get Library Gary as he has settled back into Iowa City after a summer back in Denver. We talk throwing up during/before football games. We preview the Backpocket LIVE podcast event that we are doing on Friday, September 1st. We announce the Walkon Army Fantasy Football leagues, make sure to join if you are a Patreon member and interested in winning some merch packages. We talk about the new AD, a discord members thoughts on Beth Goetz, and potentially getting her or Gary Barta on the show. Kids Day happened, and we talk Cade McNamara's lower body muscle injury. We talk some betting from the past weekend in the UFC, and tout our sponsor BetFred. Then we get into the football talk. Some Ward tailgate discussion, a few comments on the Utah State Aggies, the 25 point average, the hottest fall camp practices we ever endured, turf versus grass fields. The meat of our conversation ends up centering around the Offensive Line and how much improvement they can actually have made since December. How good will they be this year, and can they get to Great at all. We finish the episode by watching a practice clip from 2015, where Drake takes his self proclaimed hardest hit ever by Anthony Gair, a hit that separated his helmet from his head. And we cap everything with a Walkon Top 5 Dog Breeds.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome in. You just found yourselfthe most entertaining iowall podcast in the market.
It's the washtap block ons. Ontoday's episode, we really dove in.
Gary pose the question how good canthis offensive line be? How significant
is it that we have all fivestarters back and how much progress can they
have made from last season to now. That's all after a thirty minute introductory
conversation where we talk about fantasy footballleagues, our Patreon, some other stuff.

(00:22):
Let's have a day, let's go, and we're back. This is

(00:54):
still the Friendship podcast until the seasonstarts, So for another couple of weeks,
still no washable walk on the podcast. Friendship Podcasts And I'm here with
two of my friends, Cluve andLibrary Gary checking in from the orange room.
It looks like in the bottom floorof the library. So I'm he
literally to you without dosing you,but you know here we are. I

(01:18):
mean this comes out after That's that'swhy from the library. So I'm fine
if you're saying that. That's ifwe were alive, though someone could have
rolled up on you hard, definitelycould have pulled up I wouldn't have done
that if we were alive. Iwouldn't. I'm kind of surprised there's not
more people ere. Honestly, thisis like the most air conditioned building I've
been in a long time. Andhow hot it is out I think it
used to not be actually our firstyear, and then when they redid the

(01:41):
bottom, they actually got ac inthere. Oh yeah, no, it's
like instantly cool. I should getin here. If there was a time
where I wanted to just feel whatbeing an old scholar was like. So
I went up to the silent floorof the library. It went into the
stacks and at homework, and shit, I was just in there being old.

(02:02):
Yeah you thought you were a goodwill hunting Yeah whatever that means?
Yeah, were you? Were youmore productive? Though? No, I
always did good studying wherever I wasat. I could be in my room
and it didn't really matter. Iwould say I was actually more distracted by
my environment and there than I wasanywhere else, especially because there was this
other person who came in and Ijust was sitting there daydreaming about like who

(02:28):
is this person? Like I wonderwhat this person's doing, and thinking like
why are you up here? BecauseI know I'm doing it ironically, but
why are you here, like,I just didn't understand what they were doing
on the fucking top floor of thelibrary where it feels like death. Yeah.
I went to a different floor otherthan the first floor of the library,

(02:51):
I think, one time, andit was just to see what it
looked like. And I'm pretty surethat you could get away with murdering someone
up there in the back corner.Are you for shure cut? You could
kill someone easily. Yeah, ifyou if you're silent, I mean,
if you're gonna kill somebody, you'reprobably gonna try to be quiet about it.

(03:12):
Yeah. Well, I mean yeah, so you have a whole a
whole room down there on the firstfloor now gery Yeah, no, I'm
in just one of the study roomsrolling. I love how that idea actually
played out and worked. It's thesecond podcast in a row. Yeah,
because you guys did a Drake andGary Friday on Friday? Who did Yeah?
If it's super echoy, I'm sorry, I probably should check that you're
good started recording, But you're you'reall good. How half the Drake and

(05:11):
about the library after after that one. But Drake gave me shit yesterday about
trying to turn everything that comes outof our mouths into a T shirt.
And I'm just like dude, Ionly seek to do one thing, and
it is to monetize everything that werecord, and it is what it is.
But Drake and Gary Friday is goingwell, though it is going well.
To answer your question, I thinkit's going well. I had a

(05:32):
little bit of an audio issue thatI wasn't aware about, but I'll be
looking into that more into the future. But we have tonight a couple of
things, not as this is notas segmented as Drake and Gary Friday,
but we got a couple things we'regonna talk about. We're gonna be a
top five later one that we haven'tdone we've pushed it back like two or

(05:53):
three times. We're gonna do topfive breeds of dogs. I think one
that we're all excited about here.I know Kevin loves dogs. Kevin is
going to be joining us. Bythe way, he was saving some nine
year old hip or something. Uh, we're gonna talk a little bit about
For the record, I don't thinkthere's saving. There's any saving of ninety
year old him. I think you'rereplaced. Yeah, you're just okay,

(06:13):
that's what I meant. Uh,Yeah, they're just becoming bionics. We're
gonna talk a little bit about football, because football is it's it's coming up,
it's very soon. It's it's onthe horizon. Can you feel it?
Gary and Iowa City? Can youfeel it? Can I feel it?
Well? I will say there isa signature moment, and usually you

(06:35):
can't really feel it. Week zero, but you can't really feel it.
Sometimes you can feel a week one, depending on what part of the country
in But you step outside for thateleven am game, maybe it's like nine
thirty in the morning. You stepoutside one fall fall morning and it actually
smells like football in the year.I don't know what it is. I
don't know if that's a candle scent, but everyone knows what it is.
Like you step outside and it's theyear, like it's football time. Do

(06:58):
you think uh, Bath and Bodyworkscould sell make a lot of money on
a on a football candle. Wehave to be specific because like you sell
football candle, it's gonna smell likea it's probably like the the actual like
the ball itself. It's gonna spellsmell like a jack strap. That's just
like football air. Yeah, yeah, foot fall football air. I can

(07:23):
tell you that real football air,the air that gets uh swapped in the
between the lines, doesn't smell thatgood. It's bad. Did I ever
tell you about the time this justswarked a memory of mine from eighth grade
football where I threw up in themiddle of the game on a bunch of
people. I threw up after ajiu jitsu around on the mat the other

(07:46):
day. Really, yeah, welltell me about that and then I'll tell
you about the football game. Dude. I was. I was grappling against
this big ass dude and it tookeverything I had to triangle him and I
find triangle them, and as Iguess, I had just been squeezing with
everything inside my entire human self androlled over and just puked on the mat.

(08:13):
Max's contraction. All the blood wasin your muscles, rushed away from
your vital organs, and your bodysaid, well guess what, buddy,
Yeah, now we're throwing up.And it was just it was mostly water,
but sure still puked, almost pukedon his head, which is crazy.
It would be the first time youpuked on somebody. Whoops. Anyways,

(08:33):
I won't tell that story. Buteighth grade, the Fork Dodge Dodgers
came to Franklin Field and it wasa hot game. It was the first
or second game of a six gameschedule in middle school, and I was
the workhorse back then. I wasnot just the long snapper at this point

(08:54):
in eighth grade, I was actuallythe stud believe it or not. I
was bigger than ever everybody and Iactually I could run. So I was
the running back and we were inthe third quarter, you know, we
were I think we were winning,but had I was carrying a heavy workload
that day. I'm sure I wasin the range of twenty five to thirty
carries and I ran into a youknow, we ran a basic dive play

(09:20):
up the middle got stopped by alarge group. It's like, you know
when you see the whole pile cometogether. And I was so tired and
so overheated on that day in twothousand and eight that I threw up all
the water I had just drank onthe sideline during the time out, through
my face mask, out my mouthpiece, through my face mask, onto the

(09:45):
pile of defenders that were standing meup. None of them knew what was
happening, but I threw up onfour or five defensive linemen and a linebacker
on that play. And it's stillto this day grosses me out. It's
it's a I remember it vividly.Felt great, You're a scum bag.
You puked on him, couldn't doanything about it, couldn't do anything about

(10:07):
it. Yeah, Gary, yougot any puking stories like that? Or
no? Yeah, no. I'vethrown up on the on the field a
couple of times in my career,for sure. I used to. I
mean, from like I go thirdgrade to my freshman year of college like
then and my playing care I threwup every single game that I played.
Oh you're one of those guys,Yeah, every single game, like it

(10:28):
like go run out on the fieldthe first time, run back off the
field, throw up and then likejust that's that's just life. Recent guest
of the show, Mark Weisman wasone of those guys. Uh. People
may not may not think that ormay not guess that that Weiss was one
of those dudes. Weiss would gointo the bathroom in that twenty minute period
that we would walk in, maybeit's even less before we would come out

(10:48):
for the actual swarm, and hewould go back to the bathroom and he
would throw up his guts and thenhe'd be good. It's like it would
knock him into full gear. Thatmight be the you ever wanted that guy
in full gear dude, Like Ihad full gears at Nightmare. He That's
probably the only athletic thing the MarkWiseman share in common, is that that

(11:09):
that might be the sole thing beforeMichelle Obama ruined our lives in high school
with her with her food restrictions.Yeah. Marshalltown Cafeteria used to have this
all a cart line that would selltornadoes, and what tornadoes were was just
what the what the the food linewas basically calling a hot fudge Sunday And

(11:31):
I had study hall, freshman year, seventh period and and freshman football games
were at four thirty. So Iate a hot fudge Sunday at about three
o'clock and then went and played afootball game. Yeah, but it was
freshman year, so who cares.I threw up an entire hot fudge Sunday
on the sideline. Wait, youcouldn't digest a hot fudge Sunday in ninety

(11:54):
minutes? It was digested, Imean it was fully liquid. Well,
yeah, it was liquid. Itmelted, No shit, it was liquid
is ice creams? Certainly wasn't absorbedyet because I threw up a lot of
it ran back in next play.I don't understand. We need to look
into your digestive system. Why youwouldn't have a hot foot Sunday absorbed in

(12:16):
ninety minutes? Dude, I guessI don't know. I got a hot
foot Sunday waiting for me after this, a little culver Sunday. But before
that, I got an idea,Gary, the people can come out and
see the boys soon. Yes theycan yet at back Pocket Brewery. Correct,
we're gonna be doing a live showme, Gary Kevin from I'm hearing

(12:39):
some echo, is there some echo. I'm hearing it. Well, it
wouldn't be from Gary because he nowI don't hear it. You're good,
Okay, maybe it is from Gary. I don't know how that would be
happening. It's the goddamn library.The people can come out, come out
see us at back Pocket. We'regonna be selling merchandise. We are going
to have some of Hawkadelic as wetalked about on the previous podcast. We

(13:03):
are now on Hawkadelic dot Com iswhere our merch in dice is located.
We're housed. It's still through Adcraft. It's Adcraft's brand. We're gonna have
some Hawkadelic merch as well as Hawksby a million, washed up walk Ons
merch to sell. We're gonna behanding out some of it as for freebees.
We're gonna have some some Patreon activationthere. For those that do come

I'm gonna be toating from Walkee overto the Coralva area and every single person
that drive that comes on buy isgoing to get one of these and come
out, have a good time,drink some beer, eat some food,
spend your opening football weekend opening Fryfestweekend at Backpocket Brewery with the Boys.

(13:50):
That's all I gonna say. Now, I'm really looking forward to it.
I think it'll be really fun ifyou come, like, it'll be much
more fun if there's other people there. We gotta of like some some ways
that to make it where like wedon't we don't do live all the time.
We got to think of ways thatto take advantage of the live the
live show, especially if there's peoplethat come, say hi, they can

(14:11):
below you if they want to Garyevery single I will respectfully decline. But
no, Like I think we gotto think of some some good ways,
Like if there's people there, wegotta get them involved. I agree.
Maybe maybe we have them jump onfor a quick little segment. Hey,
how you doing, who are you? How do you know us? Where
do you start listening? Something likethat. But also if you come by,

(14:31):
bring something, Gary will sign it. Gary will be signing autographs.
Yeah, you have the one oneperson in the world who wants that.
Sure you are going to get moreautograph asks than you know after we just
said that. I want to cheepon autograph. Same Fantasy football, it's

(14:52):
coming up. Football's coming fantasy footballis coming. I believe the Drake Fantasy
Football League within the Patreon disc chordis full, right, No, I
think there's four people left to fillit. Oh, you still got some
spots. Ten people are in,four people left to go. So Drake,
Me, Kevin, and Gary willall be running our own fantasy football

(15:13):
league this year. It's part ofthe walk On Patreon perks. And listen,
here's the deal. If you wantto be a part of my league,
you have to either not lose ortake a blow up doll on a
date to the winner's choice of restaurant, and you have to post that picture
to the discord, or else youare kicked off of our Patreon for life.

(15:33):
So those are the rules of Andthere's a member that was kicked off
for life last year because they didnot they did not obey. Yeah,
punishment punishment rules. Punishment Punishment isbanishment. Yeah. And I, in
fact, just right before this didmy hometown Fantasy football Draft. I've won

(15:54):
that league two in the last threeyears, and this will be the final
year of that league. It isshutting down after this, so gonna try
and go out on top three outof four times the walk On league happens
every year. Now that we haveGary, we have another person to man
a league full of thirteen other people, So fourteen in every league. You
do the math on that, that'sfifty six people who get to play fantasy

(16:14):
football because one of them as ourmanager or one of us. Sure,
and we will be giving out merchandise, not massive, but small merchandise packages
to the winners and maybe some otherfun things for people. And it's one
of the things that you get aspart of a pork for being on the
Patreon some more housekeeping stuff. Whatelse do we have? I did see

(16:41):
did you guys see that the postin I think it was dht from Goose
who at three forty in the morningon Patreon was talking about how hot our
new ad is. I mean,somebody got horny. Some guys Goose in
the discord got horny. We've gota hot ideas facts. I mean,
she's a woman that's like your averagelooking woman. But I don't know Gary

(17:07):
pull better than Barter. Yeah,she's certainly more attractive than Gary bartera low
bar pull up Beth gets for usgrant. I don't know if i'd call
her a hot ass ad like goosted. But he it was three forty am
when he posted that to the discord. I think he was absolutely toasted and
got himself got himself into I mean, I get what he's saying, you

(17:33):
know, I get what you're sayingto Clover, But you know, if
you're if you're hammered. Sure,if we're going on, if we're going
on the A D scale, She'sprobably one of the better looking ads out
there, you know, probably,So shout out to Beth. I think
she's gonna take us in the rightdirection. I don't know, would love
to have Beth on the podcast,would love to talk about the future of

(17:56):
Iowa sports. In fact, weshould go We should try and get Gary
Barter on the podcast to be honestas well. He's got free time.
Now, oh now that you oh, we could do that. What are
you gonna ask him? What areyou gonna get in trouble for asking a
retired eighty question? People? Doyou know the numbies that would do the

(18:17):
walk Ons get an hour with GaryBarda, you'd be trying to sell merchandise.
I'm sure there'd be a couple opportunitiesthat I wrote. She actually had
her first press conference in front ofthe media this past week, and I
think people like what she had tosay. I'm not going to go over
it, but lots of highly toutedreviews on her from the previous spots that

(18:42):
she was at, and look atwho it is. Oh my goodness,
let's bring the man in now thygreat, Let's shift this around and now
we're in the right positions, KevinWard Kate tell mes amigos. Oh,
we're just talking about how attractive thenew ideas. I've not seen a picture.

(19:03):
Oh, you don't even know whatshe looks like. Now we're talking.
We're making fun of one of ourdiscord members who got a little horny
this weekend and was posting about ourad at three forty and our discord in
the morning. Weird. Yeah,it is certainly, Oh shit, that's
great. H Yeah. So shewas in front of the media other day,

(19:29):
as she said some things. Idon't know. She'll probably be doing
a few more press conferences as theseason moves along. Here a couple other
things that happened since we last talked. Kids Day happened, and uh,
I don't know if they really everreveal anything too shocking at Kids Day.
U KF and the boys. ButKay got a little nicked up, took

(19:49):
a little scramble, got a littlesoft tissue injury that he's now dealing with
in the from the kids Day scrimmage. So we don't love that, right,
saving grace quarterback on Kid's Day aboutHey, he took off, Okay,
but stay in the pocket, throwthe ball a little bit, take

(20:12):
your shoulder pads off, go takea shower. All right, Stop with
this fucking scrambled eggs bullshit. Allright, you're our saving Grace. Do
not fuck us. Can you imagineall the hype, all of the build
up, and then Kade gets hurtand I don't know what sneak and Deacon

(20:33):
has behind him or I think Labishas been dealing with. We do have
the skid loader, Yeah, wedou. I heard though that he should
be practicing by the end of thisweek. That's what the that's what the
word is. Hopefully that's true.So that makes me think it's a meniscus.
Yeah, I thought it. Ithought, yeah, maybe I believe

(20:55):
it was the knee. Need himhealthy. You think it's like a a
plant. They're just trying to lullthe rest of the big ten into a
false sense of security if we didn'tstart with three out of conference teams.
Maybe okay, but uh, Imean maybe maybe maybe we're confident. Maybe
we throw the skid loader out therefor you know, for Utah State,

(21:18):
Iowa State, and Western Michigan,and you know, we we we bank
three wins and then they're like,oh, it's just Kaye McNamara's not playing
this year. He's just hurt.And then out he comes for the Penn
State game. Not sure that's howyou'd want to, you know, get
Kate's first game action of the yearin the in the Happy Valley in whiteout
conditions. But kids probably a baller, I think you do. Just find

(21:41):
Yeah, who knows sugar Sean.By the way, Drake, I've meant
to I forgot to say something aboutthat at the beginning of the podcast.
First of all, I needed tobe fucking known right now that I'm nine
for nine on the last nine picksI've given in the UFC. That's another
perk of the Patreon if you're in, if you're trum re member, you
get to see Drake's UFC picks.You're not making money off of my UFC

(22:03):
picks right now, you are justmaking a heinous mistake, like I am,
because I don't bet. But sodid that guy that you said had
some broken ribs end up winning anyway? Not broken ribs, he had like
a rib cartilage issue that happens alot, and he did. He ended
up winning, And then in hispost fight press conference, he was like,
haven't grappled in six weeks hurt myribs? No chance I was pulling

(22:27):
out of this fight. So Iliterally just thought of it as life and
death. You can't let him takeyou down or else you lose. Well,
I'm upset that you told me abouthis rib issue because you know,
the four leg parlay you sent usat plus two sixty five didn't really you
know, I didn't really get myblood going, but cash it cashed,

(22:49):
right. But the five leg parlay, that dude who he was like plus
two hundred, yeah, that Iwould have made it like a you know,
plus seven hundred parlay, ish oneof my I made one of my
buddies down here close to a thousanddollars because he took all of my picks
and he arranged them in different parlays. He had the five man, he

(23:11):
had the four man, he hadsugar by knockout because that's kind of what
we discussed as the highest potential outcomeif if he was gonna win, he
had like eight bets eight for eightand he cashed for like, you know,
eight hundred bucks or something like that. You know, if you wanted
to make some bets, right,should probably do it through Betfriend. Shout

(23:37):

(25:52):
is Jepon effect. All right.I don't know if you guys have covered
this yet, but jeep On,are you in the library right now?
Yeah? Yeah, no, wehave some internet. We just got got
a new place fresh we moved in. Have a little internet issues, but
that should be uh figured out soon. His introduction was library Gary. I
was about to say, it's theSunday before school stars, what the fuck

(26:14):
you is studying? Is anybody Garystudying football? No, it's uh,
it's out Gary studying football. Yeah, Hey, could you get a jts
jan going in there in the library? I mean, I don't think I
don't even know if there's one otherperson to engage in the champ try.

(26:36):
We got kind it's the kind ofthing we could in my sea right now.
I do not see a nut likethere's the lights are off like that,
there's not even motion in the library. That's because no one wants to
be in the library when school isgoing on. They certainly don't want to
be there when there isn't school insessions. So imagine they cut the lights
off on Gary. I was itwas dark. There's like a knive cent

(26:56):
chance that if someone's working here,they have no idea I'm here and they're
like, I'm gonna go home earlybecause it's a Sunday. Does the library
ever close the close at one?Mmm? Interesting? If we didn't have
that one class, I think itwas like a sports psychology. I don't
think I ever would have gone becauseit was in that back room. It

(27:18):
was in the lecture hall in thelibrary. Now, so was that film
class that we all took that moviea sport movie class or whatever it was.
I did not take that. Idid not tell oh. I thought
every football dude took. This soundedlike an awesome class. I inserted yoga
twice in that spot. Say yeah, shout up, shout out, Fanny

(27:41):
keV. How are we doing gettingclose to football season? Here? You
you feel the rumble in Coralville,Ia City area. I'm getting jacked up,
man, I'm getting jacked up.Start watching. I feel the juice
is flowing. Oh yeah, whatis it? Season football is? Okay?
Man? Just if something to watch, if you're really need something to
watch, it's just knowing that there'sno weight behind the game whatsoever. It's

(28:06):
just not that entertaining. What uhwhat is the situation for the Kevin Ward
game day experience this year? Iyou know, obviously the trailer went up
for sale. At this point,it had to have sold, right,
someone sold. It has been sold. Yeah, it's been sold, right,
so that you know, the trailerfull on tailgate experience is not going

(28:26):
to be what it always has.Do you guys still have that spot or
are you completely gone from that?Yeah? We we we still the spot
still. You know, we justset up tents and a grill and TVs.
You're gonna have more more or lessthe same. Okay, So it's
gonna be so the family tailgate stilllives on, but it lives on trailer

(28:48):
just without the trailer. Okay,okay, okay, that sounds cold on
but I thought I just thought hedidn't want to come down anymore all the
time. Yeah, well, youknow what they're They're still gonna make their
way out for some game here.I'm not understanding. Why did you get
rid of the trailer? I don'tknow, man, Guys, I was
in South Down, Florida, neededa little action, cash in the bank.

(29:10):
I don't know that was. Thatwas a Ward family relic. It
was. It was. You couldhave been buried in that trailer. I
would have. I'll let Beef buryme in there. Yeah. Well,
I'm glad to hear that you stillhave the You're still gonna have the tailgating
experience, especially for week one.I don't know what it's gonna look like

(29:33):
week one, but I do knowthat me, Gary and Kevin are going
to be sitting on the fifty yardline pretty pretty pumped about it. Is
a lady come along with us,Lady will come along with us? Yeah,
oh nice. So it's us four. Drake's not going to be there,
and we do wish hands off.Yeah, Gary's watching Netflix like I

(29:56):
thought you said. I thought yousaid, Drake, Sorry, I was
gonna my hands will be way off. His hands will be on some dude
on a sweaty mat. Uh.Yeah, it's gonna be a good first
experience. I mean, what arethey the Utah State Aggies? They are
the Aggies, And we got toscore sixty on these guys, right because
we've got a twenty five point barrierhere to pump in the beginning, I

(30:18):
would think that that would be like, I feel like that's something that it's
like Kirk might go up there andbe like, that's not a part of
our game plan. But like Ifeel like in the back of your head
maybe like a little bit, yougotta be like, well, it would
be a lot easier to juice itup now than it would be in week
eight. If they're listen, ifthey're not out for blood at all times,

(30:40):
then I'm disappointed in these these finegentlemen. They it better be playing
for blood. Well, I mean, you always played win, right,
you always played no no, no, no, no. We're not playing
for Wayne Kevin. We're playing tomake ugly. We're playing to give Kevin
clients. If you're up forty atthe start of the fourth quarter and the

(31:03):
starters are still playing run it,then you're no wrong, wrong, You're
wrong, no mercy, you putthe backups in, you still call the
good plays to get yourself first downs, touchdowns, all that fun stuff.
But I don't need to be gettingpeople hurt. Man, right, You're

(31:25):
right, Uh, I don't know. I want to see him score one
hundred one day and Brian to takehis pants off at the fifty yard line.
Hey, you want to know somethingI saw And this is nothing against
Brian, And maybe it was justbad lighting or the hat made him look

(31:45):
a little funny, but I sawan interview with him the other day.
It looks like the last couple ofyears have aged him a little bit and
and with an offensive line production likewe've had the last couple of years,
I understand, But he looks helooks like he's gotten a little bit older.
Used to have that beautiful, almostwet hair comb over, young luscious

(32:07):
locks. He's great a little bithe's now. Yeah, you know,
like when they will sometimes do likethe before and after of like a presidency,
like what they looked like before.What I'm saying, That's what I'm
saying, like the last four yearson Brian of yeah, yeah, I

(32:28):
don't know if it's because Clover's bald. I wanted to show you a picture
of me in eleventh grade that Ifound today where my hairline was the exact
same as it was if I grewout hair right now, to just approve
that it wasn't aging that got mebald, It was just horrible hair genetics
from the jump. We also dohave a clip to play on today's podcast.

(32:52):
I just forgot about that. Whendid Drake start? When you start
growing out your hair, what didyou look like four years ago? You
still the buzzcut buzzy? He did, because I just saw a podcast clip
that somebody sent me where Drake wasjust buzz shaved head, and I was
like, WHOA, that's weird.When when they made you put a when

(33:13):
they made you put a mask onto go to the barbershop, I'd never
went again. Dad, there yougo, So so COVID little over three
years now, speaking of some milestoneshere, as we enter this this fall,
the Washup walk Ons are about thirtyfive days away from their five year

(33:34):
anniversary. The the initial h whatwould we call it, Earth of the
Idea happened on September twenty sixth oftwenty and eighteen, So about thirty six
thirty seven days away from five yearanniversary this show and brand. We are

(33:58):
officially a day decade out from thefirst fall that we were walked into a
camp in Iowa City, and theboys are experiencing that right now. I
think they should. They should havebroken camp by now, right, Yeah,
but they're still in camp mode.Yes, they are words you've ever

(34:22):
heard of a player your life.You might have been worse. Now listen
up. Okay, you see onthe itinerary on the schedule. I know
you've been looking at it already.At the end of the end, technically
you're back Thursday. Okay, youguys are gonna move out of the fucking
hotel, all right, but we'restill in camp mode. All right,
we need to get better. Okay, we got a lot of work to

(34:43):
do. Tell you what, thenineteen eighty six team, by this time
of camp, they were way aheadof you guys. All right, can
get our ship together. Okay,yeah, they would always say that we're
breaking camp, but until game weekwe're in camp mode. But guess what
practices are still gonna be about threehours this Yeah, and you're going to

(35:06):
school now. So that script,that script is a strong one sixty two.
It's a one sixty two, onesixty three with devo afterwards, one
sixty two. That the thought ofthat just made me quiver for those For
those wondering, there's always a numberat the bottom of the script or was
it at the top, and itwas just a total minute account for Yeah,

(35:29):
it was this just total minuteccount ofthe practice. Obviously, one eighty
is three hours, and there wasa there were several one sixties in there
that I remember. Uh, gofind a manager. Hey, hey,
flood, can I get the scriptreal quick? Oh my god, one
sixty two? How many fucking specialteams periods are there? All right?
Kill myself still on staff man,I know that guy. He's a g.

(35:52):
He it really is a G.I meant a legend I got.
Yeah, yeah, what do youguys remember what the hottest practice you guys
ever had during full campus? No, but it was hot. This is
a little look at the weather comingup this week. This week is gonna
arrival at that. I don't Idon't remember digits on Wednesday Thursday right there.

(36:14):
I don't know if we ever gotsignificantly above one hundred. I know
it touched one hundred, so atleast one actually, actually, Gary,
I know I know for a fact, I remember it. It was.
It was a one oh one practicewith a one eleven heat index. I
remember it specifically because I talked tothe to the athletic trainers about it when

(36:34):
we walked out for warm ups.It was what about how unfair? It
was about how yeah, I meanhow I was considering just walking off the
field and never returning. Now Idon't know about how you guys thought about
this, but it as soon aswe got a practice turf field bad.
That made life like ten times worsein the summer worse, dude. Yeah,

(36:59):
it was horror because turf turf probablyhas what a fifteen degree field difference
than grass, maybe twenty at least. Like they always have those guns that
you know, you can like shootthe laser into the turf and it sends
back. A rubber just holds somuch of that heat in there. I
remember one time it was like itwas hot, all right, We're practicing

(37:23):
in the middle of the day,holy seven degrees hotter. And I remember,
like we're in the middle of individualand I'm just like dancing around because
my feet are burning. Yeah.I might sprain them with water like every
five minutes or so, but Ican't stand still because my feet are just
too damn hot. Yeah, Iwas in the indoor. I bet you

(37:44):
were that guy. You know,we were hanging out in the indoor.
You know, do you guys rememberthe first time we ran conditioning on that
newly turf field and the rubber wasn'teven down in the in the grass yet.
Yeah, it was like running insand. And do you remember that?
I believe it was the same conditioningsession where we ran, for some
reason, the entire semigroup, butthey wouldn't let us extend it across the

(38:07):
outside of the field. So wewhen we would turn on sixties and cut
eighty fives, your head would gointo some dude's ass. That's my favorite
part, stick in your head intosome guys. Love that love that is
taking to the all who is disgusting. So yeah, there's some there's some

(38:30):
ten year old camp memories and footballmemories for you. It feels like where
I was going before all that was. I don't know if it's with each
year I become more and more ofa more and more of what I hate,
and that is the person who justlike has unrealistic expectations because you start
to see the video. We justtalked about this the other day, But

(38:52):
for some reason, this year feelsjust slightly different to me. And I
don't know if it's because of kand we have all this expectation. I
think you guys will remember when Peatriststepped in at quarterback. I was actually
hype on Peatris as well the summergoing into when Nate left and Petris became
the guy. And maybe I justget excited when there's a new quarterback,

(39:15):
a new sheriff in town. Butsomething about this year tells me, like
you know, we talked about iton the last episode, that we all
kind of have them in that tenand two range. I think we all
know that each game on the scheduleis winnable, extremely winnable. Depends the
game probably the least, you know, if you ran at ten or twenty
times, but it's still a gamethat they could go in and get a

(39:36):
dub. And I don't know,it just feels like this year something special
might cook, you know, likelet them cook, right, I agree,
Let Kade cook, Let let Kadecook, Let kf cook. Yeah.
Man, uh, we've we've talkedabout it already, but the schedule
looks extremely favorable. They they've gota lot of good guys coming back.

(40:00):
We hope to see a lot ofimprovement in the offensive lineman. It's gonna
be good years, good year man. And the Big ten tour, the
bus tour that comes around all thecampuses rolled through I A city a couple
days ago, I think, anduh, you know, they interview KF
and and all the things, andonce again KF said his his his most

(40:22):
excited, most excited that he was, or most improved in camp or most
whatever was the the experience of theoffensive line and the and the I think
the question actually might have been,what was the what's something that you will
see most different from last year squad? And it's offensive line play. Offensive

(40:42):
line play so awesome. KFF doesn'tlie answer, KFF doesn't lie, right,
So that gives me, Man,if we just get competent play,
because last year is just bad,right, And I don't you could have
had the actual rough Wilson back there. Nothing good would have happened. Excuse
me, I think it could havebeen worked. Excuse me. You would

(41:08):
love to have Russ. No,I don't know. I mean last year's
RUSS was It's gonna be different thisyear. It's gonna be different. That
weirdo in my fucking locker room limitedthat's my guy. I will I will
support him till the end. Yeah, if you actually know him, if
you heard the stories, you wouldn'tthink that. I don't. I don't

(41:30):
need I don't need to know him. See her is pregnant again, by
the way, so he's uh,he's future's kid. Maybe who knows.
I can't imagine Russ would really givea shit. But on the lines of
Wilson football, Yeah, you gotit, so it does. I'm my
little sheet here. It looks likethey return every single position. Uh,

(41:52):
they return every position of offensive lineat least it's like someone coming back.
Yeah, so so how how howmuch does that really matter? Because I
know people talk about all the time, Like I feel like people don't really
actually talk about all the time howimportant it is to have a returning offensive
line at every position. Like howbig of a jump do you think we'll
see just from like just getting everysingle person back. I would make the

(42:13):
argument that outside of quarterback, experienceis most valuable in an offensive line.
Drake Clue, would you agree.I would argue that an experienced offensive line
is going to make an inexperienced quarterbacklook a whole lot better than he is.
True. Yeah, but as faras just like decision making all that

(42:36):
stuff in in fact, I wouldrather have an experienced quarterback than I would
say. Yeah, I'm in agreeancewith both of them. I think it's
priority importance. Obviously we're placing abigger emphasis on it as a Hawkeye fan
base and nation right now because ofhow lackluster it's been the last couple of

(42:57):
years, especially when you graduate guyslike I guess they didn't graduate, but
Worth's and Lyndy and then you andthen you go to a bunch of guys
who you know, who seemed tobe working hard, but there's just not
a lot clicking when you return fiveof those guys, every single one.
And we got two guys coming inwho have played a lot of ball right

(43:19):
well, and that's the thing.We actually have a little bit of depth
and that and that competition within theoffensive line room. Like last year they
couldn't find five guys to start,like, there's no competition. If you
can't even find the guys that mighthave been the problem. Hopefully you can
do it now. These guys havebeen having competition and the whole year of

(43:40):
growing getting stronger, just putting inway more reps. I mean, and
they were also young last year too, right, so like another full year
of development the way room is goingto be huge for room too, hopefully
all development and mentality. I sawthe clip of you Guys ask ask co
Tray about guys who have been doingreally well in the weight room. He

(44:02):
mentioned Logan Jones, Dunker Jenny ThisJennings Dunker kid fourteen protein shakes a day.
This numbers. Yeah, this guysquats six eighty okay, and that's
three thousand calories of protein shakes.But yeah, might even be closer to

(44:22):
four thousand. I can't wait tohave this guy in the podcast. But
he's got like three years left proctologistson the podcast, Yeah, Bubba,
could he could his heart make itfive? I hope so man, I
hope so God. He sounds likehe's running at absolute max Thrusters bro.

(44:45):
He's got afterburners on it all times. His uh, his frame and his
arteries have seen better days and theywill see better days hopefully. But for
the next three years, it's justgonna be talk about a skid loader.
That's a goddamn combine. He's gonnahave muscle milk at Testostero just blazing through

(45:07):
his veins for the next three years. To answer your question, Grant,
I think the I think that youcould see for people who know what they're
looking at, and they go backand watch these plays, and it's gonna
be tough to tell, not thatUtah State is some chump team or Iowa
State something, you know, thesefirst three games. But what do we

(45:29):
get when we get better? Webetter stack bodies against Utah State, if
that's what I'm saying. Anything inthe run game in the Big Ten,
we better stack bodies, right,That's what I'm getting. Yeah, it's
gonna take a few weeks, amonth maybe to get into that Penn State
game, into the I think wegot Michigan State and Purdue and early on
the Big Ten schedule. When wecome back from Penn State, we'll see

(45:51):
what they've got. I think it'sgoing to be markedly improved. And other
outside of just the assumption of like, hey, they had they all had
another year in the weight room,they all had another year watching film,
they all had another they all hadanother spring ball, skills and drills camp,
all of that unbelievable for improvement anddevelopment. But when you hear and

(46:12):
this is just a thing when youhear KF say multiple times to multiple news
outlets, Yeah, the offensive lineis going to be vastly improved. KF
doesn't open his mouth without without somepretty solid ground to stand on. So
I do have I got kind ofa fallow up to the offensive line stuff

(46:32):
though, so it's still looking atit. There's only one senior on OFFICI
line, like Kevin was talking about, guys were young. There are like
sophomores and juniors going out there,like we do have like a nineteen year
old out there. How much ofit is a big difference of like you
said, it's like another year envelopment, do you need it to be like,
yes, it's another year and it'simproved or does it need to be
like three to four years for itto be like truly great? Depends on

(46:53):
each individual man like Tristan worse Byyear two was an All American right same
time or Linderbaumb you know, andthen you know you got some guys who
don't really peak until year four orfive, but they have great, great
seasons in those years. Right.It's like like think about guys that moved
to that position. It's like,uh, like like Likeke and Boone Myers,

(47:15):
right, they both moved to offensiveline. I think towards the end
of Boone was always gonna be anoffensive lineman, but he was a tight
end originally. I started at tightend. I think he moved an offensive
line by the end of freshman year, and but it took a lot time
for them to grow into the position, right, So, yeah, they

(47:37):
weren't ready year two three, Ithink three they started, but they were
still very much in the developmental phase. But by the time they were seniors,
they were really damn good football players. I would say, grant with
this specific offensive line, we don'thave any of those killers, right,
we don't have a Lindia or Worthson this line. We'll find out.

(47:59):
Yeah, I was gonna say,don't don't put a ceiling on them yet,
and maybe we do, but atleast to be expected, we don't.
And I would say this line isgoing to go from very below average
to above average maybe good, great. You know, I don't think that
this offensive line is going to becompeting for a Joe Moore Award this year,

(48:20):
doubtful, But I think they canbe better than satisfactory. I think
they can be good sometimes flash right, and there was just no flat I
mean the camera was dead off,no batteries in it. Last year,
I mean yeah, and you know, it was a multiple different things.
He had blown assignments, right,you guys getting beat across their face,
you know, pass protection, pickingup blitz is. They just didn't do

(48:43):
anything in particular very well, right, And you know what the this isn't
a word. The incongruity congruency ofthe line. We had so many different
Oh this guy's at right tackle,now he's at left guard, who's here,
who's there? We're shifting guys aroundeverybody, but Logan Jones basically was
like moving around last year. We'retrying to find the right combination. We

(49:06):
need to find the combo and justgo with it and hopefully it clicks and
we're feeling it and we just findsomething early that works, because when you're
moving guys around, that's it's justnot a good sign. So hopefully,
hopefully we got a five that wecan stick with and go. But yeah,
season's getting closer, and uh,this is going to come out on

(49:30):
Thursday. So we got DeMarco linedup for Wednesday, by the way,
what yeah, fifteen Wednesday night.He will be our Monday episode of Game
Week number one eight days from now, and then it'll be this podcast DeMarco
and then our first game preview ofthe year against Utah State. So we're

(49:52):
basically their boys. But to endtonight, I'm basically hard. Right now,
I'm basically irrect. We've been doinga lot of strength coaches. It
seems like we might have a meatheadpodcast. We look at me. Uh,
let's do let's talk dogs. Huh. You guys like dogs? We

(50:13):
need some dogs. We need someThat's honestly. One of my favorite clips
is the man oh speaking clips hopefullyCarolina guy talking about talking about dogs.
We don't need no kiddikats, nomeal. Yeah, yeah, that's a
good Are you talking about the Areyou talking about the guy who like calls
all his teammates a dog individent talkingabout coaches from Coastal Carolina maybe eight years

(50:36):
ago or something like that, talkingabout the type of players that he needs.
Oh. Yes, we do havea clip of practice here. And
this may be a foreshadowing because ifwe can get an inside guy to maybe
share with us a couple of clips. Kevin Ward has stepped up to the
plate and said, ah, maybewe do some walk on film room this
year. We're gonna see what wecan do about that. Could be a
Patreon thing, who knows, butwe did get a clip sent to us.

(50:59):
And now you're gonna want to lookat number forty five. He's lined
up in the fullback position. Here, he's got his hand in the ground.
He looks lean and mean. Andup here is this Anthony ger that's
Anthony. You're gonna want to watchhim, right. We're just gonna play
it through running a little outside here. Oh my god, god, someone

(51:20):
got decapitated. Someone called the police. And that's Drake's helmet right there in
practice. And that's Drake sideways.And then if we just play it one
second, there's Drake. Now,Now can I say something here, Yeah,
please defend yourself. In the morning, we ran that play to the

(51:45):
right, and something semi similar happenedin the way that I actually flattened him,
all right. He came back withabsolute hate and vengeance in his heart.
And he caught me like absolutely perfect. Yeah, you can see you're

(52:08):
on your your right foot when youget hit from the right. That's just
a recipe for disaster. Recipe fordisaster. Yeah, and I'm also going
towards the sideline, which is awesome. Yeah, you have to make a
quick adjudgment. Yeah, yeah,that's just a bad situation for This was
a horrible situation for me to bein, and it just turns out that

(52:30):
it makes a great clip to watchabout eight years later. Who the fuck
is number forty nine? I don'tknow, but he's getting humped by tea
pain. Dude. Watch this back. I saw the exact same thing.
What year is this? This istwenty fifteen? This is fifteen? Who
was forty nine? It wasn't wasit? Bud? Oh? That was

(52:51):
okay? So I want you guysto watch from the back, and if
you're listening, you're just gonna haveto go to the YouTube. At fifty
four minutes in here, thirty nineis Travis Perry. Thirty one I'm pretty
sure is Yeah, that's Aaron.Travis gets caught up here on the end,
which I believe is Bud Spears,and just I mean, this is
Dick Tabutt. This is Dicktabut actionright. Oh, and oh there is

(53:16):
Melvin Spears from that Spears. That'sa bad rap. He stands right up.
Pads are too high, gets reachedand then gets gets pushed into those
linebackers. Day we watch it onemore time. You got Steve Ferren's fifty
four polling uh and uh. AndDrake COOLi just absolutely gets you know,
like the the what's it called theenergy sword in in Halo Gare had that

(53:40):
on this play and he absolutely justshout out to Ike Bugger for responding in
our group chat and just saying,Drake, you got the job done,
King So and it's sure, yeah, yeah, it's debates not not really
the strong safety is not supposed tomake that play he did. You just

(54:00):
supposed to force it back inside andyeah, all right, now we can
talk about and we tried to bythe way, Drake reached out to that
that man Anthony Garrett to have himon. We will have him on at
some point. We didn't get aresponse in time for tonight's episode. A
shout out to Drake for being niceand vulnerable, let us letting letting us
kind of expose him there. Itwas a fun segment to sit through.

(54:22):
It was we need and we needmore film. Like I said, we're
gonna we're gonna try and work onthat. We're gonna talk dogs. Here,
Anthony Garret is a dog. We'regonna talk our top five breeds of
dogs and uh, I don't carewho wants to start, but I have
my five. Go ahead, Gary, Okay, Yeah, so, uh

(54:44):
my number five is the Sheba Innu. I don't think I would have had
this on there maybe ten years ago, but thanks to like memes from twenty
thirteen, I've added the for thosewho don't know, that's the doge dog
and uh, while we're while we'reat it, also would like to say
rest in peace to the original dogeChem's uh who actually died over the weekends.

(55:06):
So, rest of are you areyou? Are you dodge coin holder?
The doge coin hold again? Well, in back when I was in
a fraternity, I actually part ofone of my task was to educate people
on dodge coin, and I gotmore confused as to what is I really
don't understand crypto. I'm not sureit's I if if I was, if
it was revealed like the whole worldwas pranking me on crypto, that like

(55:30):
everyone was in on some joke tolike make make it confusing for me,
I would it would make sense thatwould check out this is for those again,
for those that are watching, youget to see all these dogs.
The shema u is beautiful. Imean that's a that's an pulled up the
actual just dodge because that's that's whatI want. That's that's that's the real
pick. So you basically you wantto sheep knu that you overfeed pretty much?

(55:52):
Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah,there there he is. Yeah,
rest in peace to the original.Oh I'm add now all right, somebody
else though, he will never die. You're right, you're right. What
is dead may never die. Kevin, what's your five? Uh? My
five? I'm going to go witha Belgian Malinois or I don't know,

(56:14):
Malonois. Yeah, there you go. This is basically the athlete version,
the more athletic version of a Germanshepherd. That's a war dog right there.
Yeah, exactly. These things arelethal. That's that's a cool dog.
That thing is, that thing isleaning me. I'll go, uh,
I'll go with my number five,my number five, and that is

(56:37):
just simply the the French bulldog.I'm a huge frenchy guy. Boys and
girls, you like the small ones, huh? I love dude, this
guy right here? Are you kiddingme? Look how cute. These little
fuckers are what's the what's the RonSwanson quote where he's like any dog under

(56:57):
forty pounds as a cat and catsuseless into that. You want to find
any under forty pounds on my list? You're right, you know they're not
gonna be out there with a witha vest on right taking bullets, are
going and hunting down bad guys.But I'll tell you what. They can
make you feel good. They they'llsnuggle up next to you and they make
you feel good. That would becool. If the canine unit rolled up
and it's a bunch of like pugs, I don't think that would be cool.

(57:22):
It's just a bunch of weener dogsjumped out of the cork. You
see the canine truck roll up,You're shoot, it's a bunch of a

I also, I have an updateon these Saint Bernard's as to why they
carry whiskey. Oh thank you weltthem up the rankings. Yes, so
Saint Bernard's were used to dig peopleout of the snow and accidents or avalanches.

(01:07:58):
One Saint Bernard would lay on topof the person to warm them up,
and then the other one holds thewhiskey, which is used for helping
warm people and freezing temperatures. Makessense. How how could you not love
that dog. He's a big oldblanket and he brings you a little it's
a little cocktail. Wire of lifeis in Japanese. That's an incredible anecdote

(01:08:21):
to the to the same Bernard,I will be I'll be honest. There,
so back when they're breeding these animalsand performing these rescues with they didn't
understand that alcohol doesn't actually make youwarmer, yeah, just it's a perception.
Yeah yeah. So Grant, you'regonna have a nice little graphic to
make here with the pups. AndI'm sure you'll have fun with that one.
