Tyler and Collin begin the episode by reflecting on the 2024 season, which had many highs and lows that defined the 8-5 campaign. The ups and downs, inconsistencies, and everything in between kept us from having a very successful season.

Beyond that, we’ll explore the state of the program: Is Iowa football in a healthy spot moving forward? With NIL, a shifting Big Ten landscape, and heightened competition, can the Hawkeyes remain contenders in this tougher conference, or will they settle as a mid-tier?

Carver-Hawkeye Arena was the epicenter of Women’s College Basketball on Sunday as Iowa upsets #4 USC and also retires Caitlin Clark’s jersey. The best to ever do it and all the memories of the last four years with Caitlin Clark came full circle on Sunday.

Tyler and Collin recap the game a little, instead, we discuss CC's impact and greatness at Iowa and now in the WNBA. We discuss what she meant—along with Lisa Bluder and other players like Kate Martin—for all of us Hawk fans.

Next, we discuss this current season and what it’s been like post-Clark and Bluder era.

Finally, we switch over to the men's side which feels like a complete 180 compared to the women’s program at this current moment. A program that feels sort of on life support - is the inevitable of a big change only a matter of time?

Collin begins discussing Iowa basketball and why the fanbase's apathy is at an all-time low. The question of whether this will be Fran's last year is starting to heat up.

Next, Collin reacts to the news from a few weeks back that MG will be out all spring for surgery to repair his shoulder. Also, get into our latest transfer portal commit, as Sam Phillips out of Chattanooga commits to the Hawks. This is a much-needed WR that Tim Lester can work with.

Finally, for a little fun, Collin looks back at all the quarterbacks who committed to Iowa since 2017 and eventually transferred out. We look at what schools they transferred to and their stats at the new school. It's a horrible, almost decade-long period of inept recruiting and development. Hopefully, Tim Lester can change that narrative!
