Justin is from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He was one of the 5 Asst. Strength Coaches during the Walkons time in Iowa City, from 2013 to 2017. As we graduated and left the program he did some of the same as he was hired as the Head Strength Coach at Towson University out East. He served in that role for 5 years until recently moving back to the Des Moines area. We go deep into the nerdy nitty gritty of strength and conditioning, what its like to be an assistant in the strength world, working your way up to higher roles, leading your own program, and all of the contrast between Iowa and Towson like resources, athletes, equipment, timing, schedules, and more. If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Danny is from New Lenox, Illinois and attended Providence Catholic High School, which is also Kevin's alma mater. He actually helped coach special teams for PC Kevin's senior year. Danny found his way on to the team by attending the Iowa Special teams summer camp, and having a self confidence like no other. He tells the story of his naïve assumptions about how easy it would be for him to play and start for the Hawks. In the line of Long Snappers, it was him, then Andy Schultz, the Kreiter, then Kluver. He discusses learning to snap, and eventually making his way on to the field, as well as his philosophy within the specialist meeting room and carrying on the tradition that Baker and Kaeding set before him. We talk about his favorite memories from wearing the black and gold, talking crap to punt returners, going back and forth with Coach Doyle, and more. Then on the back end we talk about his unique position in the Hawkeye community as he is married to Dan Gable's daughter.

What's the goal of the first 8 weeks back from the semester break and what does that look like daily in the weight room? We discuss friend of the show Nick DiMarco's modern approach to training, and how some of the implements in his weight room at Elon University can trickle down to your training/exercise as the average person. We talk about sprinting and where we think our 40 times would line up now at 29 years old, and we highlight Grant's intramural career. We talk about the Barstool Combine, what the Walkons are up to with Hops By A Million, a debrief of the Dallas Clark episode and his energy. Then we get into the Hawks odds to make the first ever playoff of 12 teams this upcoming fall, what it will take within the conference to do that, and the future of CFB post season and whether Bowl games mean anything anymore?If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Conversation on Budmayr starts at about 35 mins into the showOn tonight's show we discuss the shows brief attempt at getting Walkons the restaurant to sponsor the show, and the recent poll we ran on Twitter to help prod at Kevin to take over with more mic time on the show. We discuss the optics of the Kelce/Swift relationship and some of Kelce's sponsors in relation to drawing attention to the NFL and other causes. We break down the Super Bowl, talking about the punt return mishap, Kittle's lack of targets and usage, and the 9ers not running the ball in the second half. Leonhard was hired by the broncos and and some teams odds for '25. Then we mull over the idea of the Super Bowl happening in Vegas every single year. We discuss 5k sub ideas, and guessing Kevin's salary. We then get into the Budmayr hire for the Iowa WR coach position. The immediate negativity surrounding the hire on social media and why people aren't happy.. does a guy need to have played/coached a position to be credible? How easy is it as a football guy to adapt and learn to teach a position at a high level? Was this a lazy hire by simply elevating someone within the program? And does this guy deserve the negativity when he hasn't even gotten a chance to prove himself yet? We finish by touching on the scoring record that Caitlin will break the day this pod releases, and if we would sell our hypothetical floor tickets to this game..If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Mike is an incredible guy with a lot going on in his life. For the last 16 years he has been the drummer for the popular Iowa born cover band Pork Tornadoes. They do dozens of shows every year as a full time band where they have found their niche of putting their own twists on classic songs. When the pandemic happened, the band wasn't playing as many events and that was the genesis of The Confused Breakfast Podcast. A show where they review movies and go in depth on their nostalgic memories of seeing classic films for the first time. Both the band and podcast are extremely successful. Oh yea, he just happens to be a huge Hawkeye fan as well. We talk about everything above, his first time in Kinnick stadium, his years in college at UI, and give our Top 5 Best Sports Movie lists.Check out Mike's stuff below! @ConfusedBreakfast on Youtube and all podcast platforms! @PorkTornadoes on Youtube, social, and gigging around the midwest!If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

I have lived in Oregon for the last 7 years. A few years ago when Nebraska came out here to play the ducks in football I was having a cocktail at my local haunt. I look down the bar and on the Friday before the game there are roughly five Husker fans all in red shirts at the end of the bar enjoying drinks just as Hawk fans might do while they are out of town.one of them however was wearing a Idiots Out Wandering Around shirt all in red. I sent him what he was drinking from the bartender. As he looked around to see who sent it I approached and informed him that I bet on my Hawks the last five years during the "farmegeddon game" and that until Tom Osborne returns to Lincoln it'll always be a safe bet. His friends laughed, I gave him a hug and our discussion about our love for the Midwest started and was followed by many shots. In short I'm torn. They are the team we were before Hayden Fry. I hate and love their fan base simultaneously.
