You guys work very, very well together. Probably provided more food for thought about an upcoming season than anything I've ever read or heard.
Jon's latest podcast with Deace is a great piece of work

Careful with those wine coolers.
Who is Deace you say. Do you live in Iowa? Steve Deace is pretty good at analyzing football. He is originally from Michigan I think so is a big Mich or MSU fan and a big Iowa State fan and is well versed in the sport.
He had a non-sports radio show that I barely listened to as I dont care to listen to his ramblings on religion, politics, the nature of the US govt.
My first question or observation but was it the Penn St or Purdue game last year when N Stanley overthrew the wide open Hockensen for a sure TD pass unless Hock makes the catch and then trips over a blade of grass?
My second comment is Jon stating how he wishes and has wished for KF to develop or use some different running plays more often. Well Jon isn't saying anything new that many on this board havent said for at least 10-12 years and many other fans I have talked to havent been saying.
The hawks have used very little jet sweep, a very, very little counter play actions over the years, or used little of a non-zone blocking plays to try to catch the opponent of guard.
Just look at the TD run that wisky used last year to put that game out of reach where the run fake was hard pulling action to the right, with an H type back or fullback in motion to the right before the snap, then the H back or runner reverses and gets the ball on big time counter play action and rumbles for a td. That was almost old Evy single wing type inside reverse action running play.
Yes, I hope we either start getting the cutback runs we were used to seeing in the early 2000's or use more blocking schemes. There has been a little more emphasis on some pulling linemen type plays the last 5 years or so.

Deace is great source of NCAA football knowledge and insight. BTW, can't believe we haven't had the obligatory "I don't like his politics, therefore I refuse to listen to anything he has to say" post.
I already sort of/almost did a vague 'obligatory' about Deace's ideas in other realms a few posts earlier.

My biggest problem with Deace right here. Listening to him gush over the clowns makes me barf every time.

Top podcast.
That's exactly what their podcast could hope to achieve: agreement on the absolute truth.

I am replying to my own post because late in the podcast Jon asks himself the question about whether this missed pass was in the Penn St or Purdue game. Wow, my memory originally thought it was Penn St game but now Jon has me thinking Purdue so I am not sure. Anyway the hawks need to make all those plays this year..Stanley to Easley in the bowl game shows how they improved but also how big those plays are for points on the scoreboard but as momentum changers.

He seems to spend more time now bending over backwards to show he is the mature elder statesman of sports and sees all things without bias, while the rest of us rubes are wearing black & gold blinders. But the last time I checked, this is HAWKEYEnation.com I don't get why he is always reminding us that he used to talk smack about isu, but finds it crass and beneath him to do so now. I mean, what fun is it to be a fan if you refuse to be a fanatic now and then.

I wonder why so many have a difficult time separating the two.

Yet it isn’t beneath everyone’s favorite rockstar(Jaime Pollard) to take jabs at Iowa.

No doubt it all, it was Penn State.
Probably the old two liter bottles from way back.
I hope we execute and just kick ass and there is nothing anyone else can do about it.

Deace is really good at football analysis. He has a unique calculation that I’d advise listening to. His betting streak last year was red hot. Over a 60-65% clip. He’s a Vegas sharp or shark, whatever it’s called, isn’t he?
