  • 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
