Face it. A Kirk Ferentz new wave album would be pretty awesome.
We're 18 days from kickoff, so it's time for our annual Iowa football preview special. This year, we were fortunate enough to be joined by both Marc Morehouse and Scott Dochterman of The Gazette (and the rival On Iowa Podcast) to analyze this weekend's open practice, fill the holes in the depth chart, and discuss a couple of late-breaking news items.
And then Jacobi had some microphone issues and a barking dog and fingers like anvils, and so parts of this sound like an Animal Collective track (and if you play it backwards, it will tell you to punt from your opponent's 30 yard line). We did our best to fix it, but there's not much we can do in editing. So enjoy, and our apologies for anything lost in the mix.

Black Heart Gold Podcast, now with side-boob
Battles are won with a hammer, wars are won with a scalpel
Defensive line
The defensive line sounds like it has a lot of questions with few answers, generously speaking. If there is an upside to this, it presents an opportunity to guys to show what they can do and grab playing time if they do well rather than being stuck behind upperclassmen. That is not an ideal situation, but I think in this case talent has the ability to beat out tenure or pseudo-nepotism. Darrian Cooper sounds like he might have an opportunity to play quickly and make an impact if he does well.
Thanks for having us!
Always a blast. We’ll get more cfb global next time.
There was one part where I’m sure I was conversing with Ellie.
"I always like it better when the clowns seem to try to be happy."
Your talk about the problem at the FB position didn't bother me
because I know that Iowa knows how to run a five receiver set.
Sorry if I took a simple quip that was meant as a rebuke for a single-minded poster and turned it into a completely uninteresting and inconsequential tangent.

Nicely done
I don’t think dumping the fullback is that big of a deal.
The position has had 12 carries the last five years. Activate that position. Why not?
Iowa is going to need to score points this year. I’d love to see something west coast-ish with a new wrinkle from an activated H-back spot. They certainly have the athletes at TE.

Sweep the leg Ray Hamilton, sweep the leg!!!

I'm proud to say
I own that album. Stole it from the Bettendorf Public Library back in ’87 or so.
Yes, I am that cool.
'87....my first year on the job. Bad year for libraries, bad year for America.
Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y’know that little stamp, the one that says “Bettendorf Public Library”? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I’ve seen your type before: Flashy, making the scene, flaunting petty theft. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. What’s this guy making such a big stink about an old Gary Numan record? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without New Wave, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we’re too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, playing a CD, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding a podcast with Vint and Jacobi and Morehouse and Dochterman with bad audio? Doesn’t HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about Hubbard’s homesickness, you’d better think again. This is about that kid’s right to listen to a podcast without having to go and re-listen to muffled parts! Or: maybe that turns you on, Roosevelt; maybe that’s how y’get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Offseason is over. Y’got seventeen days, Roosevelt. That is two-and-a-half weeks until kickoff!

Fail
I have to take offense to some of the Duluth talk. It may not be wrong on every front, but I have to make a good showing. I think A-Rob will enjoy his time up north. The winters can drive a person to drinking, luckily enforcement up there isn’t the same as in IC.
Best of luck to him and the Bulldogs. Here’s to hoping for a repeat!

You're Joe Mauer?

I think Duluth is beautiful
I’m not sure ARob will.
It’s pretty northy.

I've never been.
After spending the last few winters in MSP, I shudder to think of what a winter even further north is like.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Northy sounds like another white athlete type descriptor.
“He’s pretty northy” could be another “deceptively fast”. Karl Klug comes to mind as a “northy” player.

Coldest water I ever swam in
was Lake Superior in August. My brother rented an apartment, second building out on the strand, left side traveling out. Duluth was an interesting place then, industrial yet picturesque. I’m told it’s better now.
FOUR. THREE. COVER. TWO.
It's a gorgeous town, there's no doubt about it
But it’s summer for about a week and a half, and playing football there has to be pretty miserable.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

It's bitter-ass north
I’ve fished Superior a handful of times, but only in July, when I head up through Ashland (I am Sconnie).
I’ve been through Duluth a few times. The shipping industry stands out. There are some bluffs around the lake that are tremendous. It’s beautiful. I want to ice fish on Superior in the very near future.
But here’s the telling fact about Duluth: The news anchors are bald and fat. The reporters are fresh out of Delta Delta Delta. It’s TV 101. It’s a market where you start or go to die. It’s not a vibrant media center. That’s OK, for me, I’m only a visitor.

God this was depressing
I had managed to delude myself about this season. Then this podcast came. Now I’m curled up in a ball, weeping silently
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
