Hawkeye Nation podcast Hawkeye Nation.com, Andrew Downs and Rob, how with you once again on a rainy Monday here in Des Moines?

Rob, how you doing, ma'am?

You guys got rain, huh? It's just cloudy here so far. I think it's coming our way, though. Pretty steady? It's, you know, it's steady but light, yeah. Yeah, not a ton of rain. You know, it was funny. over the weekend, my son is playing T-ball, and here in Urbondow, they've opened up the league.

And so where there's like four players on a team. They're doing things the right way, so we appreciate that. But the only hour it rained all week was the hour where he was supposed to have his T-ball game on Saturday. And so that got canceled, and that was kind of a bummer. But other than that, I had a pretty good weekend.

And we're getting closer to state baseball and softball.

And that usually coincides with rain, right?

Yes, yes. We start getting rain when those events come and just, you know, it creates anarchy with the schedule.

Yes, yes, that's exactly right.

I think it was dated in 2019.

But I think as they went through this, football was kind of the main focus.

I guess first, just how did this all come about?

How did this reporting go?

And how did you acquire this report?

Just walk us through a little bit of that stuff.

Yeah, so I agree with you.

I mean, I think it's important to point out that this was a department,

athletic department-wide report and not just focused on football.
