Deep Dive Podcast

Deep Dive

Every week, Brad, John, and Tab take a Deep Dive into a wide range of topics—from dive bars and humorous guest interviews to the reflections of three Gen-X guys trying to navigate a world where you now have ten flavors of Gatorade to choose from… but no Concorde supersonic jet. The show is a light-hearted, spontaneous conversation between three longtime friends, and it should feel like you’re sitting right at the table with them—talking about 1980s television, flammable pajamas, and how to keep a Christmas carp alive in your bathtub. New episodes usually drop later in the week, and the show is completely ad-free. Join us wherever you get your podcasts, or jump into the conversation in the Deep Dive Podcast Facebook group.

    Deep Dive Pod 30 ( Mike Haight & Hap Peterson ) 1985 Iowa Hawkeyes & NFL Draft

    Send us Fan Mail  There are seasons that are etched themselves into the identity of college football programs and serve as a vantage point where historians can say before this team and after this team, and every fan would agree. For the Iowa Hawkeyes, the 1985 Hawkeyes were just that season. Ten wins, a Big Ten championship, five weeks ranked as number one in the nation, a Rose Bowl berth, and a win over the second ranked Michigan that still echoes through the Kinnick Stadium like it happened just yesterday. But the story of the team goes deeper than rankings and records. It was a team built in the trenches, anchored by leaders who established the culture of what it meant to be a Hawkeye even today. On one side of the ball, an offensive lineman who helped pave the way for stars like Chuck Long and Ronnie Harmon, and himself earning a Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year award along the way. On the other side of the line, a dominant nose guard, first team all Big Ten selection, and the cornerstone of a defense that made misery for opposing teams all over the Midwest. Together, they led one of the greatest teams in Hawkeye history. A team shaped by the vision of Hayden Fry, a team that was physically dominant, unselfish, and accountable to each other, and possibly produced some of the funniest off-field stories of the entire program history. So today we're stepping back in history to an unforgettable era, the wins, the cultures, and yes, maybe even a few stories that help earn Iowa a reputation as one of the most legendary college football programs in the country. Joining us today are co-captains of the iconic 1985 team, Mike Hate and Hap Peterson. #Hawkeyes #NFL #Draft  You can communicate with us at deepdivepod2025@gmail.com or be part of the Deep Dive Community in our Facebook Group Deep Dive Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1JGiMUC7bq/
