Happy Tuesday. Welcome in to the O'Ian Inquirer podcast. It's Jeremy Warner, Joey Wagner today talking some Illinois and I

footballs. We had the spring football game

7.30 p.m. Central time on Thursday that is live on the Big Ten Network. The good news, Mr.

Wagner. Temperatures in the 70s. That's pretty nice for spring and Champaign-Urbana.

The bad news, of course, scattered thunderstorms, 28 mile an hour

wins, 70% chance of precipitation. Let's do this, Joey. Today we'll break it all down. What we're

of fans and you're on live TV. Yeah, a week ago, I'm pretty sure we talked about how we thought

it was going to be a

beautiful spring day.

And since that moment, it's been like 35 degrees and it's going to rain.

So not exactly.

Welcome to the spring in the Midwest.

But yeah, man, this is, the rain makes me fearful that we're going to leave the spring

and not have seen a real fair evaluation of the quarterbacks. We can get into that later, but it is, man. This is not just the starters. I think to me, I guess we can start a broad theme of this spring game. I think to me the theme is depth. Like the theme early on was, okay, they don't like that and brett be on his first 10 your first
