Inside Carolina: A UNC athletics podcast

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,...

When Carolina kicks off at noon on Saturday in Kenan Stadium, the outcome of the game will not be in doubt. Western Carolina comes to Chapel Hill having lost their first two games to Liberty and Eastern Kentucky by a combined 76 points. The Heels will win, and win big. But what can be accomplished on Saturday? Greg Barnes, Jason Staples and host Tommy Ashley bring you the  InsideCarolina.com  Game...

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 u...

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 Irish were favored, but the belief was Carolina had just enough firepower to make this one interesting and if things went just right, an upset was in the cards. Jason Staples, Buck Sanders and To...

When the second ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish roll into Kenan Stadium on Friday afternoon, the 19th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels should be ready for the challenge. No one doubts the progress Mack Brown’s program has made in year two. But with two inexplicable losses on the resume this season, questions remain unanswered going into week nine. The  InsideCarolina.com  Game Plan Podcast with ho...

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 d...

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...

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 (hopeful...

These games are always close. Save one or two moments in the rivalry’s past 30 years, Duke and North Carolina have always played nail-biter, physical games separated by a few points here and there. With how 2020 has gone for the Tar Heels, many fans and pundits thought Saturday’s game would fit that mold. Sam Howell, Javonte Williams and the rest of the Tar Heel offense thought otherwise. Jason St...

Week three of the rivalry road for Carolina comes with a trip to Wallace Wade Stadium to face the Duke Blue Devils. Mack Brown’s success against the team from Durham is well documented: 9-2 with those only two losses coming in the 1-10 seasons of Mack 1.0. Carolina is looking to bounce back from the bad loss in Charlottesville and the  InsideCarolina.com  Game Plan Podcast crew of Jason Staples, G...
