Kirkwood and Dunn

Trent is officially back from his Mexican vacation, and yes, he has officially declared that limousines are an overrated experience! We kick things off with a massive Mother's Day shoutout to all the moms in Hoosier Nation and break down the ultimate boss move by former IU QB Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza just donated $500,000 to MS research at the University of Miami—which is cool, but still hilarious considering they are the hometown team that didn't recruit him.Then, we dive into the latest Indiana football news. The Big Ten moved IU's first conference game against Northwestern to a Friday night. Tim goes on an absolute rant against the "Friday night ruins high school football" crowd, and we discuss why this prime-time TV slot proves the Hoosiers are a certified ratings draw. We also hit the recruiting trail to unpack the toxic online reactions to 4-star EDGE committing to Michigan and debate why the national media insists on dropping Indiana to 6th in the post-spring polls. (Spoiler: Tim is officially the internet's #1 Dante Moore hater) .On the basketball side, we assess the addition of 7-foot German center Sokolov and why Tim wants absolutely zero part of the rumored "Myles Rice experience". We also discuss head coach Darian DeVries' press struggles and the heavy lifting being done by Ryan Carr in roster construction.Finally, we catch up on our Hoosiers in the NFL! We analyze the intense pressure on Kaelon Black to prove Kyle Shanahan right in San Francisco, preview the new jerseys for Omar Cooper Jr. and D'Angelo Ponds with the Jets, and laugh at the Arizona Cardinals for giving Jeremiah Love a massive $53 million guaranteed contract.
