Williams & Blum: Questions from fans as football season approaches (July 19, 2026)

[JakeBrend]

Chris Williams & Brent Blum take questions from subscribers about the upcoming Iowa State football season. Which Cyclones do the guys think have an NFL future? More analysis on President David Cook’s search for a new athletics director. Post Malone wore an Iowa shirt in Jack Trice Stadium on Friday night. How does that happen? All this and more, courtesy of our friends at Mechdyne.

Singletary was a composite 5 star out of HS and started his career at Georgia. Agree that he could be a guy drafted if he reaches his potential.

Regarding farmageddon, honestly I don't think its you guys that are out of touch with regard to the rivalry, it seemed more like the AD is. Especially when Jamie used the low number of tickets sold by the AD to the road game as the justification for why they couldnt argue for it, when very few people buy road tickets through the AD anymore as those tickets are often more expensive and in worse locations than you can get on the resale market.

Said this when I interned there years ago, but the biggest missed opportunity of all time is Farm Bureau not sponsoring Farmageddon. The company’s largest offices are in WDM and Manhattan. I’d venture a guess that the alumni from both schools makes up a significant amount of the company’s employees. It’s so obvious that I can’t believe it hasn’t happened yet.

I have a feeling that the only reason why the two athletic departments refuse to acknowledge it as "Farmageddon" is because there is no title sponsor.
