‘Bang for your buck’ DBU
Long time listener, first time caller. Big fan of the show. Been listening since the Barton days. Listening to your debates about WRU and DBU the other day reminded me of a take that I have been workshopping. As a rational Iowa fan (at least I think I’m rational) I recognize that we are nowhere near the conversation for DBU. That being said I began thinking Iowa could be 'bang for your buck' DBU. The Big Ten defensive back of the year award has been around for 13 years, Iowa has won it 6 times. Desmond King won the Jim Thorpe award in 2015 and has had 2 other finalist since. Throw in a couple of all Americans with three of them being consensus all Americans in the last decade. They are near the top of the NCAA for interceptions for the same time frame. They've had a decent amount of success in the NFL and will likely add another first round pick this year in Cooper DeJean. Iowa's DBs are constant pillars of one of the best defenses in the country over the last decade and they do so without big time recruits. They turned Riley Moss and Josh Jackson, both 2 star recruits, into 2nd and 3rd round picks respectively, in addition to other recruiting/walk on success stories. Again, Iowa IS NOT close to the conversation for DBU but I think they have a strong claim for 'bang for your buck' DBU. What are your guys thoughts on this take? And can you think of other schools that could fit the bill for the 'bang for your buck' version of DBU or other positions? Trying to give some non-blue bloods some shine!Read full review »

From recruiting to overall conference news. Love that they just don’t focus on the blue blood schools.

THANK YOU for not trying to fire off hot takes. Do you know how sick I am of sports media trying to spout some hot take or let the audience know how smart they are? That's not the case here. I enjoy the casual discussion and you guys ask sincere questions, not just derogatory or rhetorical...Read full review »
