  • Great reporting and information.

    Strong information and reporting from all contributors.

    Some constructive feedback: Kyle tends to ramble and repeat himself, and speaks very quickly. If he slowed down and considered his answers/remarks more, he’d go from good contributor to great and not be so repetitive. What’s the rush, Kyle? Good reporting, still.

  • Iowa / Nebraska game

    Fun discussion! Appreciate all the player highlights for football and mbb teams!

    One quick note - since DJ Vonnahme is quickly rising - can you double check pronunciation of his last name? Noticed tv broadcasters yesterday as well as on this podcast.

    I grew up in Carroll county, IA - pretty sure an adjustment is needed. Ty so much and again - great coverage!

  • Iowa Hate Report

    Chuck Long couldn’t talk worse of Ferentz if he tried. Even when Iowa wins, he struggles to speak highly of Iowa. No idea why he chooses to be on an Iowa podcast when he clearly isn’t a fan. As for Tom - can you ever have your own thought. Everything you have to say is taken from other podcast/reports. You bring nothing new to the table.

  • weird labeling of women’s team

    why do you call the men’s game iowa basketball but call the women's game iowa women’s basketball? why not iowa men’s basketball and iowa women’s basketball? or if you have to choose you could just make iowa basketball the women’s team since they are all anyone cares about. so weird that even a school with caitlin clark has people who can’t help disrespect the women’s game. come on fellas. it’s 2024

    UPDATE: thanks for changing the way you describe the women’s and men’s teams in your pod and pod... more

    Host needs to stop interrupting, cutting off, and talking over his cohost. It’s become unbearable to listen to this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hawkeye Report Podcast 820
Q: What does the defense look like after three games, particularly the defensive line and pass rush?
The defense has been solid, with a bend-but-don't-break approach and limited high-damage plays; the defensive line has depth and versatility, and while sacks haven't been prolific, they are generating enough pressure to disrupt opposing quarterbacks and keep Iowa competitive in tougher games.
Hawkeye Report Podcast 820
Q: How comfortable should Iowa fans be at the quarterback position with Hank Brown, given his early-season performance?
The hosts note Hank Brown has not turned the ball over, has completed a high percentage of passes, and has shown poise and accuracy through three games, which should give Iowa fans confidence while also acknowledging that Jeremy still has potential to contribute if needed.
Hawkeye Report Podcast 806
Q: What do we want to learn this week?
The hosts discuss expectations for fall camp, noting the quiet period around quarterback competition and the possibility of emerging signals closer to Kids Day and Media Day.
Hawkeye Report Podcast 804
Q: If you could have dinner with anybody in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
I'd want to sit down with someone like Ram Dass to gain a different perspective on life; I'm curious about the way he viewed the world, which would be fascinating to discuss in depth.
Hawkeye Report Podcast 801
Q: Tell us about the sell-out and the demand for tickets.
Ticket sales exploded, with over 4,000 tickets sold within 24 hours, and organizers are working on adding more seats to accommodate growing demand.
