Mitch King
To this point I’ve had a lot of guys on the podcast. The funny thing about it is that the majority of the Legends I’ve had on had made a change in position from whatever they were recruited to Iowa to do. I have one of Iowa football’s true hidden gems. If it weren’t for injuries and lack of depth along the defensive line, Mitch Kkng may not have become the household name that he is. Ironically tho, the accolades really didn’t seem to motivate this defensive juggernaut but like all my former guests, the Pride he had within himself pushed him to sore like a Hawkeye in opponents backfield’s .....

John Niland
1 of the most decorated Hawkeyes that ever wore the Black & Gold is a man that few people even know about. Mr. John Niland played for the Hawks in a time before coaches Ferentz & Frye, before much Hawkeye success and before it was even called Kinnick Stadium ..... Kinnick was named “Iowa Stadium” until 1972. His All-Conference, All-American, Pro Bowl & All-Pro career will at some point get him to Canton Ohio as an NFL Hall of Famer but in the mean time I’m happy to have him as a guest on Legends of Kinnick ......

Kyle Schlicher
The next guest I have the pleasure of welcoming to the show only had to fill the shoes of the program’s most decorated kicker of all-time and Kyle Schlicher was able to do just that. In his 3 years as a starter, he was tops in the Big Ten in kicking and left Iowa tied with Rob Houghtlin for the most in a single season. This all-big ten performer left his mark on the Iowa program and his life after football has been one made for legends.

Clinton Solomon
World renowned Inspirational Auhor, Israelmore Ayivor quotes:
“Leaders believe that falling is not failing, but refusal to rise up after falling is the real form of failure!”
This quote best speaks to today’s guest. Struggles are apart of ALL of our lives but Clinton Solomon didn’t let his struggles defeat him....

Pat Angerer
With a Nose for Football, Pat Angerer made play after play on his way to being named All-Conference & All-American. Another Hawkeye product out of the same Bettendorf High School that produced Hawk Legend Tavoan Banks, this gifted defensive Ball Hawk managed to always be present. His 2009 season performance still puts him amongst the top 5 all-time single season tacklers with 145....
