Q: How deep can Fran go and should he go that deep?
A: That's between him and his wife. Please leave his private life out of this.

Q:Could this team compete with the 1986-87 team?
A: Probably, since those guys on the 86-87 team are like really old now.

Q: Where will Iowa size up in the Big Ten?
A: I don't have time to go through the average height of each B1G roster, but with Woodbury and Olesani, we have to be near the top.

Q: Who is overrated in the Big Ten?
A: Wisconsin - Just because I hate them.

Q: What is the ceiling for this team?
A: Uhm...this?

Peter Buckets.............I like it. I'm all in on that one!

Just finished listening. Wow. Wolfgang is out there.... seems almost angry at times. Perhaps that is just his schtick.

Certainly spices up the podcast, Jon. Adds a whole new dimension that it didn't have before. I mean, he really challenged you on a few things which made the show a bit more.........I don't want to say confrontational, but it seemed as if there was more to the show than just the usual back & forth of "you are right" "yes I agree with you."

Wolfgang really doesn't agree with you on some things, and you really don't agree with him on some things. Made me consider both points of view, especially on the whole '86 Hawks vs '13 Hawks debate.

Good addition to the show and I'm looking forward to where this can go with your next show.

Jon -

RE: Jok as a freshman, here is some of the buzz you were talking about.

"As talented as the trio of Hamilton, Parker and Foster are, Jok is better. And that's saying an awful lot."

Thanks Spank!

And yes, Wolfgang is like that and that is good. Spank and I are going to hook up for some podcasts as well. He knows he can take me to task if he disagrees.

I like the debate as long as it's not contrived. He told me we disagreed on some 86-87 things, I just didn't know what they were.

 

[CPHAWK82]

That was pretty good. Good contrast in personalities. I'll be looking forward to those throughout the season.

That was worth the listen. Wolfgang is a keeper.
