Ep. 1: 2024 UNC Season Preview, State of Carolina Football
Salute Fellas 🫡 love the show. Would like to collab and feature each other on each other's show if you guys are interested
a few takeaways Elon is much better than anyone expected , we actually played relatively well from his standpoint of taking care of the basketball and rebounding against a team easily as big. if not bigger. the ball just didn't go in the basket for the better part of the evening yet they weren't bad shots. in my opinion. I think we will be fine
I was happy with UNC’s backcourt. Cadeau was the best player on the floor and got a lot better, RJ took over when he needed to, and Seth looks a lot more confident. It was great to see Withers with a double double as he rebounded well. Washington was OK as he was thrown off by elons size but he needs to be more physical. I like Lubin a lot. He does a lot of little things well and played physical which was great. Powell showed great energy and loved his defense. Jackson is super talented but he just needs to relax and let the game come to him. Tyson looks like a deer in the headlights. He looks very rushed and I’m concerned the pressure is getting to him. Overall, a lot of good a lot of bad. Just really need to focus, defend, and rebound. Cadeau looks like a NBA Point guard
Stein is afraid to debate his opponent but has no problem going Mano a Mano with Ross and company. Friendly crowd - I get it. 🇺🇸
Timestamps please.
I was an original lower level Blue Zoner, had tix there for 5 years. Went back to GA because the food absolutely sucks in the bz, it’s hotter than fn hell in the seats, the people inside are mostly pompous aholes, not all, that are more concerned about the effing ice cream freezer working than the actual game. The endzone view sucks, and again, the bz seats radiate more heat than being on the actual sun. After my 5 years there, my buddies and I felt like the bz is what’s wrong with the culture at UNC football games. Soft, pompous, and not willing to support the team
Lol jalen Washington is gonna be a baller this season🤣🤣everyone who talked shit is gonna magically forget when he puts together an amazing season this year
GOOD STUFF
Good pod! Joel definitely got exponentially better as an analyst than when he first started. Keep pumping out great content, Ross!
Hey Joel have you ever thought about coaching?/ it seems like a lot of media is kinda down on J wash I’m a j wash fan I’m pulling for him I think he’s going have a great year!
Every play podcast with Ross it's like he's trying to remember something from a year ago that happened yesterday constantly get stuff wrong
Saw you leaving the game on Saturday. We got to watch another debacle.
Great video! UNC4L!
We will be having the same conversation in 4 years on the new coach …. UNC does not back football 100 percent …
Does not matter who we hire …. The defense will always stink … how many DCs have we had over the past 20 years …. Need to send a bunch of players packing on defense … find some money to pay for some good ones… that’s college football now …. It’s all about the green backs :)
@@michaeldaniels461 if the head guy is soft why would you expect more then what we are getting and actually I think these kids are playing pretty good considering…
Strong disagree with comments that Criswell is below average and is the reason for the failed 4th downs or the loss. The last one was 4th and a foot. We gave it to the best player on the team, he missed the hole. If you can’t get a foot with potentially the best back in the country that ain’t on the QB
It’s funny how noone mentions Conner being injected for a play or two in both Duke and Pitt game. Conner has 65% completion rate in the 2 full games he started in WV and Charlotte vs Jacolby 53.3% completions in the last two losses. Why not make the switch??
Because he is an one trick pony he can only run and can’t throw he had his chance he sucked
Connor had a higher completion % because he was only allowed to throw easy throws within 5 yards vs Criswell getting the whole playbook
Connor is not the answer … I have seen enough of him … did Connor make this post ..
@@mattbunn2545 actually he has 3 passes 58, 30, and 19 . He avg 7.8 yards per pass. Carson Beck avg. 8.5 YPA and long 50, and Carsen has played longer, and is a top 5 Qb with a ton more reps. So, I dare say CH is doing pretty good considering.
@@Athelets2011 Connor sucks
go watch practice sneak peek Carolina insider. Jwash Elliot Seth are completely new players this year. Jwash was looking scary 💯 rj Cade ian Elliot Seth drake were all knocking down threes consistently. This team is gonna be really good. Everyone on this team can go get a bucket unlike last year
UNC4L!
EC jumpshot will be much better . People don’t realize he was better shooter in high school and he can score.
Only 2 bigs unc went after hart was aidoo and cliff . Cliff only one that visited all those others names was false reports UNC never was after . HD one combo with Ballo and wolf. Oyenso they never went after.
The Heels had 3 players for this up coming come on a visit and 2 of em committed. I'm not worried about recruiting. HD is proving to be a great recruiter. I'll say it again! "HD is proving to be a GREAT recruiter!"
@@mikehoward3020HD always do a great job in recruiting. People think bc we didn’t bring in a big , then issues.
Don’t forget withers he will have better year . Jwash people going to see why he was top 20 recruit before his injuries. Offensive he nba protype big that can shoot the 3 and mid range. He 6-10 with a 7-4 wing span
I think he's 6'11". 😂 Mando was 6'10". Just saying. I know it's not really a big difference. The wingspan is where the huge difference is.
@@mikehoward3020 he look 6-11, HD said he is 6-11 but Jwash said he was 6-11. I think Mando is 6-10
My problem, with small ball lineups you need high level 3pt shooting. RJ-yes Cade-yes. Elliot-not yet Seth-not yet Ian-reminds me of Caleb love! Drake-maybe?
Bro this team has way more scoring options go watch there practice highlights and everyone on team says they look much better than last year way faster way more versatile. Elliot was knocking down every shot from all over same with ian and Seth. Jwash is a whole new player he was looking strong asf bout to bring the goal down on ever dunk he threw down same with lubin and claude.
People are gonna be shook when they see this team play there first game I’m telling you they are NICE ASF
@@Kream180 I bet they are scoring 5v5 against one another, because guess what else this team doesn’t have Defense or Size! Two 6 foot guards ✅ a guard at the 3 ✅ a mid major 3 at the 4 ✅ and a bunch of average 4’s playing at the 5 ✅ There is a thing called Defense & Rebounding required in winning basketball games!
@@TravW12 Why do you keep commenting on UNC videos are you that worried about us?! LMAO y'all are not quick enough to hang with the Heels this year. Duke's height means nothing when y'all don't even post up. Y'all don't have the guard play to hang with Heels this year. The new big guy can't even get down the court in time he's always late getting into the offense and only wants to play outside 😂
@@astafford9410 You want the truth?? “You can’t handle the truth” 🤣
Drake on nba draft at 11, Ian on draft board at 20 but I believe he will be top 15
Drake Powell ended a 5 star not 4 and McDonald’s all American
Time for Mack to retire and go play bingo, acts like he doesn’t give a shit.
This comes from a liberal, woke administration that believes football interferes with the school as a whole. No championship since Lawrence Taylor. Since then we have changed coaches after coaches, changed the fans, changed the locker room changed the stadium but still the same crap. If you are a fan call out the Fridays of this school and his disciples. You can have a great school and great football but these people hide in the shadows pulling the strings. Fight back and call them by name.
Just face it Mack Brown isn't it! Neither is Chip Lindsay! A new coach is gonna be behind the eight ball. The UNC administration isn't serious enough about football. A younger hungrier coach is what's needed. Someone who wants to achieve something. Ross Martin get the petition started asap!
Fair weather good gosh. Have to show up to the games and support these guys. The world is not over life goes on but let’s look at this from a more compassionate perspective. If you love the heels show up to the games, have a post attitude and hope the guys come play tough and together.
Shoulda moved on from him last week. I have no idea why he still has a job today.
Jeff Saturday or Kliff Klingsbury?
Where's this info coming from? Is something in the works behind the scenes?
How about that tweet about App State's football team Ross? WNC hit hard from a little rain
Done … time for a change
Coordinator changes for how many years now with Mack, the team is still struggling!
So frustrating and disappointing! When will administration and the university realize they have so many critical and extremely difficult problems! Same thing different season! So embarrassing for all our UNC fans!
Timestamps would be nice guys. Thanks.
Yup, JMU scored 13 against Gardner Webb. That means Gardener Webb probably would’ve punked UNC too. It’s the ACC - not the SEC. Not one elite program in that conference.
Quick, hard hitting, insightful, and devoid of politics regarding the UNC program. Refreshing! Keep up the good work…..
Thank you for this podcast! I’m a longtime podcast listener of many different Tar Heel casts, but yours is different, it’s quick moving, it’s full of factual information, you have guest that actually know what the fuck they’re talking about, and it’s entertaining! There is a larger pod that’s been around for a while, I will not name any names, that has a couple of individuals that will talk for 5+ minutes and say absolutely nothing! It’s almost becoming unlistenable. So again thank you for your representation of how I think a podcast should be and I will definitely get the word out for you!
Plain & simple. Chapel Hill underestimated JMU & disrespected the whole G5… and that means ALL of UNCCH including your coach & especially your Fans
The answer to your question as to how could this happen is Coach Bob Chesney. Study his background and educate yourself. Listen to his post game presser. He’s a prodigy. The fact that UNC wasn’t aware of this going into the game is borderline negligent. Why do you think JMU hired him.

Wll Hardy is definitely not the answer.
Players ?
The team was completely unprepared. They acted as if they didn’t know they even had a game yesterday. Ever since the State game a couple of years ago, I’ve been waiting for this. I feel bad for Mac’s legacy, but this has to be the last straw.
You have zero clue about other football programs. JMU has a tradition and great players. They also COACH their players.
It's Carowhina. They NEVER give credit to their opponent. Yesterday was a thorough ass-kicking and baby blues just whine more.
they scored 13 points against Gardner Webb. keep telling yourself that this is about JMU been "great" LMFAO.
Wow. No wonder unc sucks. You fans don't care. Jmh scored 14 pts against Garner Webb..news flash. Basketball will only get u so much$$$. Hell ecu fans would be rioting after this. You guys just do t care and it shows. Btw ecu grad lol. We suck but at least we fire a mofo if he sucks
If we turn this around and beat Dook … I will be amazed …
You lost me about 5 mins in not clearly knowing the difference between FBS, FCS, and D2
Ross! Nice cast guys. Poor Tarheels... Gotta got back and re-rack and clean some gray matter and look at the coaching staff.
