0:00.0	Welcome into the Alaintecquire podcast.
0:15.0	It is Jeremy Werner, Joey Wagner with you.
0:18.0	And yes, we are very interested in what happens with the Illinois basketball offseason. But that's all we've talked about on the podcast so far during the last week. So today we're going to do a little bit of detour. We're going to talk some spring football. We're going to talk some Illinois football recruiting. A big happening happened there yesterday, which was not surprising we've talked about on the podcast. And we also get O'Lani Women's Basketball Coach.
0:39.5	Shauna Green on the pod for about a half hour of great talk about the O'Lani Women's
0:43.9	Basketball Program, the season they just had, the crew they could bring back, the addition
0:49.5	they've made, and Devine Burge, who's a very talented player that bring in from the
0:54.1	Quad Cities and from LSU. Just a great chat with Shauna Green. We'll bring you here in a little bit. But Joy Wagner, how are you, buddy? I'm good. It has been a long month. We've had a week to kind of get, well, as much as we can gather ourselves. We've not been flying for a week, so I think that's a big win.
1:11.9	I can pick up the kids from school.

1:21.3	Yeah.
1:23.8	Had to pick up some swag while we're out in Indy.
1:27.3	I just took my free, the free clear bags and the pins that I was able to get.
1:33.3	Yeah, the little, I don't know what you even call those, but yeah, we got some of that swag that
1:37.7	were given to us.
1:38.9	Joey was hoarding those bags, those clear bags.
1:41.2	I give them to my wife.
1:42.2	That was her biggest addition.
2:00.8	She also could use the mug. That's what she got. I was all in. I was kind of looking around the media room. I wonder if anyone forgot theirs. I'm the only one. Everyone else is probably like I don't want this. But I, free stuff. This stuff is good. Before we get to Shawna later, before we dive into Illinois football,
2:05.5	you got any Illinois basketball thoughts to supply the people with some basketball talk to that?
2:07.6	No.
