Tyler Kluver and David Eickholt kick off the first Kluver & Eickholt Power Hour of the 2026 season, announcing another year of their weekly KF Press Review show and reacting to fall camp and the open practice. They break down the QB1 race, noting Jeremy Hecklinski’s rough early camp before a near-perfect open practice while Hank Brown struggled, and they also highlight freshman four-star Tate Bessinger’s natural talent and processing. The conversation turns to Iowa’s “three-three-six” schedule structure and the brutal three-game stretch vs Michigan, Ohio State, and at Washington, debating which is most winnable and the need to name a starter by Week 2. They discuss defensive concerns (especially defensive tackle, corner depth, and possible NFL-to-college return chatter), special teams turnover, and growing optimism about Tim Lester’s offense, improved receiver depth, a deep RB room, and DJV’s ceiling at tight end.

On the Washed Up Hawkeyes podcast, the hosts discuss Iowa football camp and the Kids Day practice, focusing on the quarterback competition after Jeremy Hecklinski went OFF for 200+ yards and five touchdowns while Hank Brown struggled, and they debate Kirk Ferentz’s refusal to name a starter and why a clear QB leader matters. They also touch on Phil Parker’s surprising comments about facing Iowa’s offense, buzz around WR Tony Diaz and receiver standouts like Evan James and DJV, and optimism tied to the offensive line, tight end usage, and a deep running back room including Kamari Moulton and South Dakota transfer LJ Phillips Jr.’s 1,921-yard season. The episode includes sponsor reads, notes on Iowa’s ranking, Hawkeyes in NFL camps (including Drew Stevens winning a kicking job), and ends with an extended Pokémon collecting and gaming conversation.

On this episode of the show, Tyler welcomes Jeff Buch ("Jeffrey the Greek") from the Eyes on B1G podcast to discuss Big Ten offseason chatter, social media drama sparked by Jeff’s position rankings, and how expanded 18-team perceptions affect fan expectations. They dive into Iowa’s approach to the transfer portal, noting savings from not buying a portal quarterback, confidence in Tim Lester’s offensive development, and the value of retaining and replacing starters with in-program depth—especially on the offensive line and linebacker. Key Iowa questions include the defensive line’s run-stopping and pass-rush potential, with mentions of Hubert, Gaffney, and edge options. They break down Iowa’s schedule as “3-3-6,” focusing on Iowa State, a tough Michigan/Washington/Ohio State stretch, and the back-half run through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, Illinois, and Nebraska. Jeff projects on what this season could be record wise as well as what success would be for this team.

It's a Benton Boys reunion as we welcome former Hawkeye Ike Boettger to talk family life (three kids with a fourth due in January), retirement from the NFL, and feeling healthier after finding a concierge health approach. The group discusses the WNBA attention around Caitlin Clark, then shifts to Iowa football, including optimism around the offensive line, questions at quarterback, and the team’s 7.5 win total. Ike explains the growth of the Cedar Falls “Big Cat” linemen camp, now drawing 200+ kids and multiple pro players, and praises local standouts like Jack Campbell. He details how fluoroquinolone antibiotics and prednisone increased his Achilles rupture risk and contributed to back-to-back Achilles issues. Ike also outlines his premium Midwest-priced apparel brand Stally, its faith-driven mission, and plans for quarterly campaigns including building a tiny home for a homeless veteran.

We announce we’re returning to live seasonal recaps and previews, sponsored by FanDuel, and riff on poker, including Drake’s recent two-three win rate and past home games, plus the endurance required for the WSOP. They discuss NFL topics like Riley Moss’s mindset and officiating, pass interference rules, Broncos and Super Bowl odds, and a hypothetical Rams defensive front featuring Myles Garrett and a returning Aaron Donald. The episode’s main focus is Iowa’s biggest questions for 2026: whether an FCS-heavy transfer strategy pays off, the unsettled quarterback situation and its floor, whether hyped WR Tony Diaz and TE DJV deliver, replacing key special teams pieces (returner, kicker, punter), D-line production and depth, and how Iowa handles a conference stretch at Michigan, home vs Ohio State, then a Friday night at Washington.

Today we are joined by Hawkeye Insider/247Sports reporter Elliot Clough, who shares his path from running track (including walking on at Iowa Central and UNI) and doing campus media to a grind through freelance writing, play-by-play, radio DJ work, and multiple layoffs before landing full-time at 247. They discuss balancing fandom and objectivity in sports media, then shift to Iowa football as fall camp begins: quarterback play, wide receiver improvements (including Tony Diaz), offensive line configuration questions (especially at center), portal impact players like Diaz, LJ Phillips, and Tyler Brown, and a hot take that Cam Buffington could become Iowa’s second-best defensive player. Elliot predicts Iowa's record relative to the 7.5 win total thrown out by sportsbooks with most of the prediction revolving around a brutal early Big Ten stretch (Michigan, Ohio State, Washington).

We open with summer banter before shifting to early-August football season buildup, including high school teams practicing in summer, Big Ten camp vibes, and betting futures on FanDuel. The hosts discuss how football training and athlete development have changed over decades, plus Iowa-related nostalgia and jokes about Nile Kinnick. They cover the Cy-Hawk rivalry being extended through 2031 while predicting its format may change as college football and media rights evolve, and they debate preserving traditions amid playoff expansion.

The episode also hits sponsors, the Iowa State Fair, the new “five-for-five” eligibility rule and its fallout, and the growing trend of corporate jersey patches and potential fits for Iowa.
