Scott Dochterman, who covers Iowa for the Athletic, will join me tonight and we will discuss the 2024 Iowa Hawkeyes football.

Brian Ferenz is gone as the offensive coordinator. Tim Lester has taken over the offense.

Will the offense get any better, or will it still be hamstrung by Captain Kirk?

Quarterback Cade McNamara returns. Iowa returns 18 returning starters, the most in the Power Four. But one player is missing, Cooper DeJean.

Will there be any drop off in the Iowa secondary because of Cooper DeJean?

Will there be any drop off in Iowa’s offense overall?

Can Iowa put an offense together that could get them into the college football playoff or win the Big Ten championship?

What about Scott?

Was Scott forced to cover Iowa as a young person and now he’s stuck there forever or did he make that by choice?

If by choice, what appealed to him about Iowa?

I know, I know. This isn’t a fun headline. It wasn’t a fun game.

Well, it certainly started fun. Going up 14-0 after the first quarter, only to be outscored 24-3 the rest of the game.

Hoss and Greg discuss the game and grass fields, Braelon Allen going to the NFL, Jaylen Lloyd, turnovers, and more.

I’d like this description to be better but this isn’t my day and I have to get this episode out in a few minutes.

Who can forget Walter Matthau taking a paid position as the manager of a gaggle of foul-mouthed losers whom the league didn’t want? Tanner, Engleberg, Kelly Leak and Amanda taught many of us some prime and proper cursing in the bicentennial year which we still employ to this day.

And some more we definitely don’t.

And remember - Buttermaker’s not dead, he’s just drunk.
