BHGP Podcast Number 65 Retirement Age Look At Our 65-Year-Old Wrinkly Balls Of Retirement is finally uploaded and ready to do the rocking. We're joined by @frankthetank111 of Frank The Tank's Slant, and do not let the "random internet bro" nature of either of those names fool you -- Frank is and has been for the last 18 months the single best source of information on conference realignment. Realignment is special, because it's essentially big business being conducted by homer fans with way too much influence, and if that sounds like a terrible idea, it is, so as with all terrible ideas, it's best to have a lawyer around to talk you through all the different scenarios in play.

It doesn't feel like Pitt week. Sure, it's been four years since we faced the Panthers, so it hasn't felt like Pitt week for quite some time, but this one feels especially hollow. Without the grizzled visage of Dave Wannstedt on the opposing sideline, it just isn't the same. It's like Pitt is bringing their JV team to Kinnick Saturday morning.

In any case, we talked about all things Pitt with Chas Rich, the proprietor of Pitt Blather and an overall good, honorable Pitt fan. His team barely beat Maine last week. Our team lost to Iowa State. And Dave Wannstedt is still gone. There is much sighing. So much sighing.

For this week's podcast, we talk with one of the few men to see Iowa State's one-point victory over Northern Iowa that we can actually tolerate, John Bohnenkamp of the Burlington Hawk-Eye. Bohnenkamp, whose Twitter feed is a wonderful mix of sports information, inside sports reporter jokes, and weather warnings, tells us his thoughts on Steele Jantz, the ISU offensive and defensive lines, and the current wave of Vandenbergmania sweeping through southeast Iowa. This is a very dangerous storm.
