| 0:00.0 | This is Radio Row. |
| 0:11.5 | This is Super Bowl Week. |
| 0:13.0 | This is what it's all about. |
| 0:14.7 | Cam Hayward, to my left, on the same stage as us, |
| 0:18.6 | doing an interview, not with us, with Colin Cowherd. And we have Biggie on the set right now. Biggie, how are you, buddy? I'm good. It's good to be here. Yep. Are you enjoying Radio Row, Super Bowl Week, San Francisco, all that good stuff? Yeah, it's been kind of nuts. I actually live in Oakland, so I'm just across the bridge, so it's supposed to be home for this. Biggie, you played football at the University of Iowa. I did. Big Hawkeye guy. Their brand of football, do you ever get tired of watching? I personally don't think I could watch college football. It was run, run, run, punt, punt. Okay, wait, wait. So are used to that that, okay, all right. So that was the Iowa offense as of, let's say, what, 2023. I'll give you that. All right. I also watch that offense sometimes not the most enjoyable. But, but I will say since Tim Lester, the last couple seasons, he's come in as OC. this team, if you watched Iowa this past season, it was a lot more fun than Iowa teams of the past. So I think people are thinking of, okay, that was Iowa from a few years ago when Tori Taylor was around, and it was three yards in a cloud of dust and a lot of punting. And look, I go to Iowa, you go to the bookstores, and the punting is winning shirts. |
| 1:28.2 | We're very, very popular. |
| 1:29.8 | Look, but Grinowski, we had Mark Grinowski this past season, a lot more fun, mobile quarterback. |
| 1:34.4 | So people have to get used to this new, evolved Iowa offense that, look, we might have been ranked 134th. |
| 1:40.2 | Right. |
| 1:40.4 | In the country, now we're at like a hundredth, you know? |
| 1:43.4 | And that's a big leap. |
| 1:44.6 | The new Iowa offense that scores occasionally in the 20s. |
| 1:48.1 | That's right. |
| 1:48.7 | Get used to it. |
| 1:49.8 | Taking the world by storm. |
| 1:51.0 | Taylor, how dare you? |
| 1:52.0 | How much money I made on the Iowa under for years? |
| 1:56.1 | It was a running joke on this show was always take the Iowa under. |
| 2:00.1 | I'm not a betting guy, but I too thought, thought of taking the Iowa under every single week. No way, we're getting six this week. But you play defense in Iowa, right? It's a defensive line, man, yes, yeah. All right. So you never out there like, hey, offense, fucking score. Let's go. Look, look, when I played, look, we had a good offense. It's a good, like, I play with Drew Tade. I play with Marshall Yonda as well. |
| 2:34.8 | Look, despite that, even when people are griping and complaining about the offense, Iowa was still winning 10 games. When I was there, we won the Big Ten, we split it with Michigan. We still have a lot of great teams, so let's not be too hard on my guys. Biggie, you mentioned you're not a gambling guy. |
| 2:37.3 | I haven't been a gambling guy, and this story connects back to you. |
| 2:41.1 | Since 2016, I was in college. |
