Ep. 47: Interview with Doug and Jeff Buch - Gallery and Hurley Unfiltered: Iowa Football Rewind

Brion and Nick interview former Iowa defensive back brothers, Doug Buch and Jeff Buch. Doug played from 1988-1992, and Jeff played from 1996-2000. This is the first time we've had two guests at the same time, and we think you'll enjoy hearing their perspectives on each other's recruiting and playing days at Iowa, along with their shared memories about Coach Fry and Dan McCarney.
