Treasure is so appropriate. We are glad you enjoyed it. I hope everyone has the opportunity to listen or better yet meet her in person. We were fortunate enought to sit by her at the MVC Tournament last year and is humble, approachable, and an Iconic Redbird.

This is awesome, great job guys. My family can't thank Jill enough for everything she has done. My grandfather worked at Horton and knew Jill. They hadn't seen each other in 30yrs or so yet she still showed up to his funeral. What a remarkable women and pioneer for isu and women's athletics.

Another great episode guys. Agreed that Dr. Jill is a treasure. Had the pleasure of meeting her several times as a student, always enjoyable to have a chat with. Incredible hoops knowledge but just an overall awesome person.
