The Game Plan: Is It Carolina’s Time?

College football regular seasons are usually over by now. Teams have finished their seasons and league champions are decided while everyone prepares for whatever named bowl has invited them to their place or the offseason for the less fortunates. But 2020 is different, and Saturday’s matchup in Miami against the 10th ranked Hurricanes has provided Mack Brown and his 17th ranked Tar Heels a golden opportunity to seize the moment and the year despite watching a visitor steal a place in the ACC Cha...

The Postgame Podcast: Heels Shelled From Deep By Iowa

Carolina's trip to Iowa was going to be tough. Led by Luka Garza, the Hawkeyes have put up ridiculous offensive numbers on the back of the senior big man's 34 points a night. What the Heels couldn't have expected? Iowa pulling the trigger 40 times from three point range, drilling 17 of those attempts and pulling away late on the strength of their veteran guard play in the end. Dewey Burke joins host Tommy Ashley to break it down on the InsideCarolina.com Postgame Podcast. To learn more about lis...

The Day After: Mission Accomplished Ahead of The Big One

Carolina’s game against Western Carolina was not in doubt. What was in doubt was if Carolina could play to the standard that Mack Brown expects. Postgame, Brown stated Saturday was ‘perfect’ in that regard with the starters handling business early providing the guys down the depth chart time to perform with the bright lights on and another college team across the line of scrimmage. Jason Staples, Buck Sanders and Tommy Ashley bring it all into view with The Day After Podcast on InsideCarolina.co...

Postgame Podcast: Heels Fall Short Against Longhorns

Roy Williams’s Carolina team is a work in progress and many times this season, it has not been a pretty sight to see. Turnovers and poor shooting has been offset by a toughness to grind out ugly wins for a program used to pretty wins. Against an athletic Shaka Smart Texas squad, the Heels tried the same formula that got them to the Maui finals, but in the end, the seniority of the Longhorns came up big in the end.

The Day After: Irish Earn Win At Carolina

A big opportunity walked into Kenan Stadium on Friday afternoon. Number two ranked Notre Dame was in town bringing the most complete Irish team coach Brian Kelly has had in his 11 years in South Bend.

The Day After: All About The Carolina Defense

When a Big 12 game breaks out in Kenan Stadium, you do not normally spend a show discussing how the defensive performance helped win the game. When a football game’s final score of 59-53 looks more like a poor shooting basketball game outcome, the defense doesn’t get much credit. But on the InsideCarolina.com Day After Podcast, with Jason Staples, Buck Sanders and host Tommy Ashley, Carolina’s defensive performance in the second half of the historic comeback win over Wake Forest gets a large maj...

The Game Plan: Rivalry Month Closes With Wake

Saturday marks the end of rivalry month for the North Carolina Tar Heels. NC State, VIrginia, Duke and now Wake Forest have filled Carolina’s schedule in and odd but frankly, enjoyable stretch of games that we’ve not seen in sequence in decades, if not ever. Wake Forest comes to Kenan Stadium for only the third time in nearly ten years on Saturday at noon in a big game for both programs. Carolina seeks to remain in the ACC title hunt while the Deacons look to build on their four game winning str...

On The Beat: Doubling Up Coverages

While the events of this year have created chaos across the board, covering college athletics has been unlike anything beat writers have experienced. Zoom press conferences, social distanced press boxes and every other lack of usual access aspect you can think of in 2020. And it only gets tougher this time of year as college football still rambles on while the college basketball season is (hopefully) just around the corner.
