The hot topics of the episode are of course, the addition of former Iowa linebacker, now TE coach for his alma mater, Abdul Hodge, and his former teammate Brian Ferentz moving from TE to QB and retaining the OC duties. What does Abdul's presence do for the Iowa Football team, the culture, and how can he make the Hawks better? We also discuss the addition of a TE in the transfer portal, and Drake poses a question that takes us on an all time 20 min detour. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
