In an unexpected twist, Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz joins the show to talk about the Hawkeyes' unexpected undefeated (and Big Ten division-winning) regular season run, the skeptics (ahem) along the way, Stanford all-everything RB Christian McCaffrey and the disappointing Rose Bowl, and the very healthy place the Iowa program appears to occupy at the moment. We also get to learn all about Kirk Ferentz, the man, as he explains his food, dancing, and entertainment preferences.

All in all, a great hang with a guy who had a great 2015.
