| 0:00.0 | Hey, y'all. Just a quick note on this summer school. We recorded this a couple weeks ago. |
| 0:05.2 | So before the tragic news of Ahmaud Hardy being shot at a concert, obviously continues to be in our prayers. |
| 0:13.3 | And we love to see last week that Coach Drinkwood said that he is walking, expected to be discharged from the hospital and start his rehab process. |
| 0:22.6 | Want to see him on the field again? I don't know if that'll be this year. But again, this was |
| 0:28.5 | recorded before the news of the Hardy shooting. So there will be some Hardy talk in the episode |
| 0:35.8 | and just wanted to let you guys know up front. |
| 0:43.9 | Yeah, we are aware of that incident and didn't want this to be tone deaf without a little note to y'all. |
| 0:47.5 | So continued prayers and thoughts to Matt Hardy. |
| 0:48.9 | And with that, let's get into the episode. |
| 0:56.5 | Indiana can sort of cement itself as we are no longer this team that's going to be fighting for six wins anymore. |

| 1:36.3 | So we've got quite a bit to discuss when it comes to the Tigers because we did our spring availability. |
| 1:36.8 | We know all that we know, at least at this point of the offseason. |
| 1:40.4 | So in summer school, we learn a lot about the team. |
| 1:43.5 | I'm guessing you learned a lot about this team in spring because there is a lot of change over here for a Missouri program that, you know, Eli Drinkwitz entering year six. |
| 1:51.8 | I think he's just done a tremendous job with overall, like, you know, a super competitive SEC landscape and, you know, he's been innovative in a lot of ways and certainly got i think you know pretty highly of |
| 2:02.4 | i guess first was they had to try to keep in this off season right like you know last off season |
