Tim Donnelly 99 9 the fan on a Tuesday I’m Tim Donnelly Graham Hill producing the show with us again today and we’re starting the show off with a bang on the heaster Automotive Group hotline we have Dave Doran NC State head football coach taking us through the off season uh coach thank you very much for for taking the time to jump on the phones with us um you’re welcome I have to ask 2024 State as a whole has been kind of on a heater couple of final fours we just saw the baseball team make it to Omaha added pressure to keep it rolling in the fall no no we’re excited for the other teams and excited for our program you know we we had great momentum coming out of the the final uh five games of our regular season and really proud of the men’s and women’s basketball teams and uh coach Avent and the baseball team they’ve had a great ride as well trying trying to build off of that that run late last season uh the transfer class has been one of the the topics of the off season um quarterback multiple wide receivers multiple running backs tight end multiple offensive linemen the offense seems to be pretty shaken up uh have have have they surprised you at all since they got on campus or are they exactly kind of you know what you ordered out of the portal yeah I think uh we’re definitely happy with uh the guys that have joined the team and was fun to be with them in the offseason and helped get better and see what they can do in the spring I think our spring game really showcased a lot of the offensive Playmakers uh with the first group anyway and defensively we’ve had added some pieces here in the second portal window to help that side of the ball so we’re excited about you know the young guys coming in and the older guys that have joined and now it’s just kind of getting them all the Jael Dave Dorne NC State head football coach joining us on the heaster Automotive Group hotline coach so much starts with the quarterback and and you’ve gotten pretty good at kind of uh you know working different guys in and molding the offense around it with with an off season with Grayson McCall kind of working with coach and I how do you expect the version of this year’s offense to look yeah I mean I think that’s what coach and I is known for you know he understands how to make things happen through the skill sets of his players and evolving the system each year um based on that what the quarterback’s good at what the o line can do in the Run game you know what is your skill and where where are The Playmakers and how do you feature them and get them the football and it’s no different this year Grayson a proven winner a three-time conference Player of the Year at his former school and a guy that comes in here with a big chip on his shoulder that um is a tremendous leader so we’re excited you know that we have Grayson McCall here and players around him that’ll help him that that chip on the shoulder is funny right I I I played at the FCS level so I know uh you know when you’re you’re looking at that level above right for him from group of five to to power of five you kind of hold the chip against like everyone at that level that didn’t recognize your your awesomeness right uh does that chip on the shoulder like is part of it trying to prove almost to to somebody like you who was in the area recruiting and and maybe let him slip through the fingers to a to a group of five school I think the whole ACCC you know in general he he’s a North Carolinian um from Charlotte and you know played in an option offense in high school and uh the guys at Coastal uh gave him a shot he took advantage of his opportunity and now he’s got a shot here to do the same thing and he definitely has something to prove um it’s really not to me it’s I think more of this is to himself but also the value you get out of doing something that people didn’t think you could do and that’s always been something I know as an individual and coaching guys on our team you know when you can go out and show that you are who you say you are it’s a big deal we’re talking with Dave Dorne the head coach of NC State football taking us through the offseason coach I I know you aren’t much for for outside noise but we’ve also seen you call out some haters in the past uh seems like the the expectations and the hype uh at least from where we sit are are pretty positive right the hype is kind of rising how do you deal with that side of things when maybe players are are reading headlines or social media or all the things that coaches don’t like to deal with are are getting in their ear uh you just try to stay in the moment you know I mean all those things are great um I know we’re still not being picked to win the league and we’ve got a lot to prove to show that we’re that team and uh take that next step and you know whether they’re talking good or bad about us isn’t going to equate to wins and losses it’s going to be about the process of preparation and lifting and running and practice and film study and nutrition and all the things are going into being good at what you do and for me building the chemistry of our staff and our team so that we’re a closer nit group of guys than people on the other sideline and that’s kind of where the focus has to be um any notoriety that we have I feel like we’ve earned um over time being a consistent you know um stable program that year in and year out competes well against everybody and has won a lot of games are are you aware and and or is it come across or has anyone brought up to you the salty Dave Persona that that some people have put on you yeah I hear about it from my family a lot yeah so I’ve heard that many times how do you react to that is it something you Embrace right because it’s it’s you know again from where I said it’s compliment right the salty Dave stuff comes out after you uh punch back against a hater or win a big game that people didn’t think you were going to win is it is it you know do you enjoy having a little salty Dave come come out of your personality every now and then no I think that’s just who I am you know and I’ve always been a guy that felt like he had to work his way up and prove you know what he could do um you know whether it’s playing FCS football and starting as a high school coach and working my way up you know the profession and having to build a name for myself and I don’t know I think I I carry that chip on my shoulder here I always have and you just got to know how to manage it but there’s no question that’s part of who I am you know and and like I said at the beginning when people come out and say things about our program my job is to defend it and the first way to do that is is winning you know and actions on the field and and uh I’m going to stand up for our program I mean that’s one of my jobs in my opinion here is to build our brand and it’s not fake I mean it’s people are going to talk certain way about our program about me then our job is to prove him wrong and be able to stand on it Dave Dorne NC State head football coach joining us here on the drive on the heaster Automotive Group hotline uh it’s transition to the defensive side of the ball for a second a guy that you could easily see having a building named after him one day replacing pton Wilson it’s not going to be easy is replacing the leadership something you talk about in the offseason and if so who do you see kind of filling that void yeah I think you know a lot of people ask that question and there isn’t ever one person that replaces a great player I think collectively the returning players have to be better than they were and that’s what their goal is in the off season is to be a better version of themselves and collectively you make up for uh a singular person and not that there won’t be outstanding player at linebacker there will be um but that has to be earned on the field and Sean Brown we’ve moved to that position from our safety room and and he’s had a really good offseason season but there’s a number of guys and you know Davin Van’s going to be a better D lineman than he was last year so is Brandon Cleveland travali price Aiden white at corner um there a number of guys returning in our defense that we expect better from and they do the same and collectively when they play at a higher level then it helps you know and so we’re going to ask a lot more from everybody and leadership’s a big part of every offseason you’re always trying to replace what you had the year before the vocal guys that to step out of your program and move on you have new opportunities for younger guys to take the Reigns and and finally here before we let you go and thank you for taking the time this is the question I’m going sneak it in at the end because I feel like coaches are exhausted of talking about it but it is such a big part of of college sports now uh you know long time ago college football became a an everyday of the Year thing right it’s there’s no longer a true off season but but how much of your off season now compared to even just the a year or two ago is spent fundraising and worrying about nil yeah that’s a big part of what we do now you know I think every head coach would tell you that uh the fundraising aspect has always been present when it came to you know getting facility dollars and things like that but now it’s transition to the player side and uh it’s easy to sit around and complain and you know I kind of choose not to um you got to find a way to be successful and compete and you know we’ve just rolled up our sleeves and gone out and did the best that we could we have a great Collective our athletic director does a really good job helping us uh generate revenue and every way he can so it’s just a collective effort um to be competitive in that space and obviously when you win games that only helps you know and so we’ll see where it goes we’re in a big evolving State uh as a college Department of Athletics across the country in every sport and it’s probably the biggest Evolution ever in college sports with what’s happening with the settlement and everything else so you just kind of got to roll with it and find your best way to be successful is there a like a consensus or or an understanding of like what the market is for a starting ACC linebacker or or anything like that or is it just kind of you’re you’re raising as much as you can and you hope it’s enough no I think over time we started to understand the value uh that exists and there’s always one-offs that are you know kind of unexplainable but for the most part you know you know generally what linemen D linemen receivers quarterbacks value is and and the N spaces and obviously some teams can outspend and so you’re not in the ballpark sometimes sometimes you are Dave we appreciate you for taking the time to to jump on the show with us and hopefully we’re able to catch up again later this offseason no thanks for having me go pack once again that’s Dave Doran NC State head football coach joining us on the drive with Tim Donnelly here on 999 the fan uh heaster Automotive Group hotline by the way that’s uh that’s how

with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan thank you once again to the head coach of the NC State Wolfpack football team Dave Doran joining the show right before the break but at the moment we have to transition to some uh some news that broke earlier today from the Carolina Hurricanes after I think it ended up being 23 and a half days from the time Don wadell announced or it was announced that Don wadell was resigning from his position as general manager to today when it was announced that Eric tolsky could kick that inter room tag and officially be the permanent GM of the Carolina Hurricanes first of all you love to see someone that works hard be promoted from within that’s kind of in in general right somebody that puts in time at a job at an organization that wants what’s best for the organization to see them be rewarded from within you love it right you love it it’s the the Eric spoler thing right maybe something about the name Eric Eric spoler right he started as the video coordinator of the Miami Heat and then they show that one picture of him like with with the old real uh film and he’s standing there looking at it like VHS like hey and then they talk about him being the Miami head coach you love those stories Eric tski is a guy that’s been with the canes for a long time he’s been there for the ride always happy for that story to play out that way but then you have to remove yourself from the emotion of just being happy for a dude and you have to look at the actual hire and decide how you like it a lot of times in sports we go to the grading system right offse grades uh grading the trade and you look at traditional like School AB bcde e f or a b c DF we Skippy in that scenario for some reason um my grade is one that uh that some kids know all about and some would never hear it’s an incomplete right it’s well I can’t grade your project CU you only turned in one part of it right it was uh a written paper and a presentation you haven’t done your presentation yet you just turned in the written paper so I’m giving you an incomplete until you do the presentation this was a two-part assignment and only one is done Eric tulsky is the GM it’s a solid start it’s a solid start he’s a guy that has been proven to be in the decision-making room on some very good decisions look at the recent drafts by the Carolina Hurricanes they’re very good drafts look at some of the decision that were influenced by analytics that they’ve made recently been very good decisions Eric tolsky as GM is solid but you’ve been hearing me say this throughout the process they still need a hockey guy and I’m not saying Eric tski isn’t a hockey guy I’m using hockey guy as like a an archetype right maybe one step short of hockey Hardo right one step short of that you can flip the seats you can Shuffle the titles I still think it is important to at or near the top of your decision-making process in in the front office have both the the numbers and the gut feel right that’s an answer that nobody wants to hear right in baseball you hear this argument all the time is it the nerds with the numbers or is it the old school Scouts that can like hear the crack of a bat and know that it’s a good player like you need both it’s not either or right if Eric tski was the assistant GM as the numbers guy the person with the advanced degrees from Smart schools the person that that’s that’s very analytically inclined and Don wadell was in the GM job as the guy that has all the connections right the guy that has somebody that’s going to call him up and say you’re not going to believe what this Prospect in Russia is doing and then you take Don wadell away promote Eric tolsky to Don wardell’s seat I think you need to replace Eric tolsky with meaning the assistant GM the hockey guy or a consultant with the hockey guy right I don’t know like you can give them whatever title you want there just needs to be at this metaphorical nights of the Round Table that’s making all the decisions for the canes I think you need both so incomplete right let me see what you do with it right it’s it’s it’s you essentially uh essentially like it’s like a two for one trade almost right it’s all right you traded uh I’ll use basketball as an example you traded a shooting guard and a point guard for a shooting guard I might love the shooting guard before I say I love the trade I need to know who you’re putting in the point guard spot you took Eric tski out of the assistant GM spot to put him in the GM spot before I give you a full grade I need to know who’s the assistant GM or president of hockey oper vice president of hockey operations or uh consult consultant of hockey like give me whatever that title is could be Justin Williams by the way who’s a name that’s been thrown around he’s been involved with the franchise and obviously is a a guy who has you know his resume hanging in the rafters at PNC maybe it’s Justin Williams but I think you need that other thing and and then toski can run the show right toski can be the GM that asks the questions in the room that the Knights of the Round Table discuss or actually and I’ll even throw this out there as an example I haven’t seen it yet but maybe Eric tolsky does have hockey guy in his bag of tricks we just haven’t seen it I he hasn’t been asked to do it because Don wadell was doing it maybe he can maybe that was what the last 23 and a half days was maybe that was his audition period to prove he had that in his bag of tricks that would go against what they seem to want which is everybody playing their role at kind of a very equal uh decisionmaking room but maybe tolsky is like no I got the hockey I got the analytics I’m good I would actually kind of like that because that would seem to mean a GM is rising Above the Rest of the the influencers at the table but if the canes are seriously going to do this kind of unique hierarchy which we’ve heard discussed which is you know the GM doesn’t have final say the GM doesn’t have uh power of attorney for the franchise you have this group that handles it like a democracy all right let me see who else is in the group before I give my final grade you’re off to a solid start right the first part that you’ve turned in I like right tski brings something that is of value to a hockey team and now you’re promoting him to a a higher title probably comes with nice little cash boost good for him tulsk is living large like like all of that is fantastic but let me see what you do with the rest before I grade the entire decision if this were another team if this were pretty much any other team in the NHL you hire the GM I’m going to give you a grade because most of the other teams haven’t come out as publicly uh and and been known as teams that like to use a more democratic process on big decisions right usually there’s a GM that makes decisions then there’s people that have his ear right there’s people that that can influence him people that he trusts but it always comes back to him with the canes it does appear to be like the GM can be outvoted that’s what it appears to be so all right let me see who let me see who else has the votes who has the board seats sometimes you see that in uh like the high lever Shark Tank negotiations now I’ll give you your 600 grand for 12 and a half% but I want two seats on the on the board it’s like all right yeah okay I never really understand all of that let me see who else is on has a seat at the the the Round Table then we can discuss final grades but for right now incomplete which you may say is a cop out that’s fine I don’t think it is you can say that but I won’t the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan I’m Tim Donnelly for draftking Sportsbook basketball’s finally done after last night but you

baseball shall we gosh have we gone in the wrong direction since Friday on Friday just to give you the the rundown on Friday during the show Vance Honeycut walked it off for UNC to give them a win in the opening game of the Omaha uh college baseball World Series this year and we were riding High NC State was going to play on Saturday UNC just won uh the ACC had four of the eight teams in in the uh Omaha in Omaha and we were kind of feeling ourselves yeah yeah it’s kind of on to us did we jinx them I don’t believe in that that’s right you’re not superstitious I just think the teams that beat like because since since then all that’s happened is NC State’s been eliminated that happened yesterday during the show uh Virginia was eliminated that happened over the weekend um Florida State and UNCC are playing right now in a elimination game so one of them will be eliminated uh by the way North Carolina is losing that one 3-1 at the end of the fourth so the local team even in a game where it’s like all right the ACC can’t have two losers because they’re playing each other the team that we would rather win the local team is losing 3-1 I won’t I will step aside from saying it’s a superstitious thing and somehow we jinx them because I don’t want to disrespect the teams that won by saying you know those years and years of hard work that youve put in had nothing to do with the win it’s all because got too giddy on Friday okay that’s uh but we’ve we’ve been humbled quite a bit I’ll put it that way that’s that’s true we’ve been humbled quite a bit I mean the ACC is already down by the end of this game they’re going to be down from four teams to one and and they will be an embattled team at that so uh not great for everything we were excited about on Friday I will say what I said yesterday about UNCC is proving true it has to be Vance Honeycut and someone else right because if you look at the games right I talked about him walking it off who was that against Virginia on Friday y then in their loss to Tennessee they lost 6-1 Vance Honeycut hit a solo home run today they’re down 3-1 Vance honey cut with a hit and a run scored uh Casey cook with the the RBI and you’re just looking at it going somebody else has to be a run creator in a big moment somebody else has to be a run Creator the good news for North Carolina is uh it is 3-1 top of the fifth now uh UNCC is the home team so they will have always that you know bottom of the half coming up uh but the good news is you have four Innings to figure it out right the good news is I’m sitting here screaming Vance honey cut and who the the who has some time to to answer it Alex padera there’s my pick I I think everyone would love that a bunch uh I’ll go Harbor how about Harbor I like that too probably with vanon cut on base but uh but it’s it’s it’s still time left but you’re down to an elimination game right there’s time but not a lot of it right there’s time but make it soon cuz Florida State’s not going anywhere they’re another ACC program with a history of of being pretty good and and and all those things they’re what eighth in the country yes I believe so uncc’s fourth so you know in a matchup of top 10 teams the the difference is minuscule uh so so I stand with the same question I asked yesterday Vance Honeycut and who who are going to be the stars who who’s going to want to be interviewed after the game we know Vance Honeycut and who else and who else other than you know coaches and and things like that the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan let’s go ahead and jump into our 99 questions about the college football season series this year we started a little sounded like we went no you didn’t you didn’t hear that we went to like jumongi for a second where’s uh Robin Williams and yes I am partial to the old Jumanji not the new one with video games and stuff no Jonas Brothers uh there we go there’s Jay-Z 99 questions about the college football season uh we’ve been doing this we started 99 days before the college football season and we started a while ago so that just shows you we’re significantly less than 99 days to the college football season good in my book uh the question today is simple it’s the loudest college football stadium what’s the loudest college football stadium now we’re going to answer this in kind of two ways right we’re going to nationally and then we’re going to locally do the triangle uh actually let’s do locally first because I think it’s a little quick and we can get out and people can get mad and then we can move on State’s the loudest UNCC next Duke third right agreed I I I don’t think there should be reason for anger there but there probably will be because that’s how fans operate uh but it’s Carter Finley then Keenan then Wallace Wade and and that’s not the say it’s easier team no impact on everything it’s just a little bit R more the the stadium shape matters people forget about that the the The Vibes matter it’s just that’s the order I put them in and that’s what I’m sticking to you can get mad about it if you want if you do uh you can send it to me on Twitter Donell Sports and you heard Graham agree Graham what’s your Twitter Graham Hill 98 Graham so so simple graham Hill 98 is 98 when you were born it is goodness gracious I mean so Devil’s Advocate I covered North Carolina football for WL sports fan so I like that put your biases on Front Street majority of the well it’s not bi it’s just where I got put your yeah put your uh whatever the the full disclosure I guess but firstand I met a lot of Carolina football games and there was twice where Carolina’s atmosphere was really good for the football games it was when Miami came to came to town for a night game and then it was also Duke the double overtime you expect that students Rush the field have you but then when I was able to make my way over to NC State two similar games that also at night was the game against Louisville the Friday night game now by the end of that game it was not very loud because State fans were disappointed game but then when also Miami came to town that was another night game and actually scratch that what am I doing it’s not the Miami game it was when North Carolina was at NC State at Carter Finley Stadium another another one that’s the loudest that I’ve heard Carter filing stadium in a while I I A lot of times when this conversation comes up like loudest college football stadium or something along those lines I oftentimes like to like I almost want to you know how uh I don’t know if they do this in the Olympics but in certain judge Sports they throw out the highest and the lowest score right like NC State when UNC comes to town is going to be really loud right like Ohio State when Michigan comes to town you can’t that’s that’s special but also like NC State when Western Carolina comes to town probably won’t be rocking either right it’s so I almost want like I want to get like the the meat right cut off the best cut off the worst because those are outliers look at the rest and that’s kind of what I judge and I just think if you catch like a generic ACC home game maybe not even a 12:00 or or a night game like a 3:30 opening kick and you’re just judging the the volume of the fans State’s going to be the most UNCC is going to be the next Duke’s going to be the the that is just size of Stadium right part of that is just how many people are there if it is sold out like those things matter I just think that’s the order what theyve not noticed about this past season at Carter fing stadium and hopefully some NC State fans listening have also noticed that if you’re familiar where the band sits this year if you look at the 50 yard line from the Press Box area so on NC State’s home side they’ve moved the band to the left side behind that field goal post so pretty much in front of PNC Arena it used to be in the student section yep and they moved them to fill the entire student section so NC State now from about let’s say the 25 yard line on the visitor side all the way around behind that Endzone is just nothing but students and when crunk a dead by Duke Deuce comes on I can’t play it on air because I can’t find a clean version of it but when those students are going yeah yeah yeah and I had a friend who’s a big Carolina fan that went to the game and was like I hate that song so much now because between that and just The Who old pack fans it’s he was like it was a it was burned into my head have have you I know you’re not a big movie reference guy but I am so I’m going to ask you have you seen a white man can’t jump yes and you know Gloria uh which is the the girlfriend she’s like a genius for Jeopardy yeah and you know food the the joke is foods that start with the letter Q she’s like unreal at foods that start with the letter Q what is quail what is aich and and just just rousse him out if you were ever on Jeopardy and I were sitting there watching and I had my fingers crossed for a category and I’m just going like if this pops up he’s going to nail it it would be in stadium music yeah I’m not sure there’s anybody that can like you like rattling off like Kane’s uh Face Off music or this song for this team in this home stadium I could be there I could enjoy it I could jump up and down to the music I could clap along when I leave a stadium that music leaves my my memory when you leave you’re like I’m going to make a playlist with that Stadium’s music well see when I was younger like I would always beg my mom if nothing else can we please get to the stadium on time to see the team enters that used to be my favorite part so last season Duke football Jungle by ambassadors that’s their walk out song North Carolina For Whom the Bell TOS by Metallica their walkup song they also have a really sick intro video by the way and then NC State last year swag surfing swag Surfin is a classic that’s that’s I feel like that is can’t be owned by anyone we like when I was in college we came out to swag surfing and uh there’s a bunch of bunch of power five schools that come out to swag surfing and I the the chiefs were losing the game and there’s a one of the miked up players start talking to the support staff going like somebody needs to play swag surfing during the next timeout and it’ll get us going like swag surfing is is a g like it’s just become a stadium Banger I’m I’m just convinced at this point timy you bring up a great point if I wasn’t working radio I’d probably working like a stadium Ops like playing the Oregon at a baseball stadium I don’t know about that I took piano I took piano lessons for a couple of years but I gave it up because I wasn’t that good but yeah I mean I love the game day atmosphere especially the team entrance that’s like what I look for at the beginning of each football season like what what is NC State what’s North Carolina what’s Dukes intro video going look like this year nationally which are the loudest college football stadiums we were talking about this in the bullpen I wanted to say you know what I’m going to go and off thewall okay just because I’ve been there so that’s why I’m G to take claim for it I’m gonna say South Carolina South Carolina here’s the hard part with this question I think you should have to to speak with any kind of definitive nature on this I think you should have been in most of the stadiums see that’s why I wanted to say South Carolina I know there’s a bunch of people in their cars going what what but I’ve never been to a game at the Rose Bowl I’ve never been to a game at the Horseshoe I’ve never been to a game at Penn State in Happy Valley i’ I’ve like you’re going to hear I’ve most of the SEC haven’t been to a game like those game like I feel like their fans take such pride and it is very much a no you come here and watch a game and then tell me that yeah so you know from people I’ve talked to Wisconsin gets loud uh when they do the whole jumparound thing gets kind of crazy uh Penn State obviously the the the ones with 100,000 plus nean Stadium Tennessee gets loud um a whole bunch of SEC schools get get pretty pretty jumping I’ve heard uh Florida State on like a Thursday night gets loud um I’ll talk about two that I’ve been in one will be a flex one will be just it’s it’s loud and I’ve been there and it’s cool uh I think Virginia Tech in a night game they play the ENT man they do the jumping thing uh I’ve talked to a lot of players in the ACC that talk about like you can’t really experience it until you’re there I’ve been lucky enough in my career to be on the field uh like kind of on the sidelines covering the game right uh for Notre Dame night game at Lane stadium and I can tell you you’re not hearing much you you want to do the look around where you’re just looking up at the stands it’s cool another one and this is underrated and it’s it’s a different noise I played at Navy Navy is a different noise it’s very much like like you know you you like it’s not this because I don’t I don’t want to disrespect the the midshipman like it’s Ur ra like you hear like just a Timber of like a bunch of midshipmen like in unison knowing what to say uh and it’s it’s loud as heck but it’s like very organized it’s you know how it’s just chaos when a stadium gets loud theirs feels like there it’s like a March coming at you yeah and it’s it’s very loud and it I have no reason to think any of the games we were there uh it was the loudest it’s been in Memorial Stadium because uh quite frankly they were beating us pretty bad I was to say was a situation for you where maybe it’s the first drive that you guys roll out into the field and the play clock’s winding down you don’t notice it till the last second so you’re just looking at the sideline calling the time out just different which is hard like hard to describe it’s just like you you get used to playing in front of loud stadiums and you’re you know you hear the but this it’s just sounds more like like if they wanted to they could Advance the entire Stadium against you and it’s just a little bit more intimidating uh Nebraska’s loud I’ve watched games in Nebraska Nebraska is very loud but it’s a polite loud because of Matt rule uh this was premat rule but uh he’ll take credit for it being loud though but it I mean it is loud there it’s it’s just organized so maybe it’s a copout but uh I don’t really have an answer for that cuz i’t been in enough stadiums one more just to go back to ACC ties and this one I found surprising our fearless leader Paul iander who I produce next up for every morning from 9:00 to 10 right here on the fan said that Georgia Tech has a very underrated I’ve heard that I’ve heard it’s underrated I thought you were gonna sayson stadium in Oregon because Paul that’s a no that’s a no Giver I mean have you seen the video Robo duck when it debuted and how crazy that place went it’s a classic yeah there there are some uh there are some some funny uh funny things that get gets the crowd going Jump Around in Wisconsin might be the best it’s such a goofy song but they go absolutely wild for it cocky the curtain the curtain falling down and debuting him to Space Odyssey it’s yeah it’s just I’m not gonna lie that was pretty electric it’s just a funny thing that gets everybody going uh the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan um gez this this hour has flown by we have yet to talk about uh the Boston Celtics winning the NBA championship last night maybe that shows how exciting series was uh or lack thereof Boston Celtics won the NBA Championship deserving they were the best team in the league I don’t think there’s an asterisk on it I don’t think any of that is true but I do think they are an example of sticking with it and maybe doing exactly what the fan base is is the exact opposite of what the fan base is asking the Carolina Hurricanes to do Boston is the argument for letting the young guys fail in the postseason a bunch and trusting them to get over the hump and win it here I actually went and looked it up here are the finishes for the Celtics since they drafted Jason Tatum okay so since they drafted drafted Jason Tatum number three overall out of Duke these are the finishes in the PO the the postseason for the Celtics uh the Eastern Conference Finals the second round the Eastern Conference Finals the first round the finals the Eastern Conference Finals and then finally won the NBA Championship they kept for the most part the core right they kept Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown together Brad Stevens was around for it all in different different uh jobs but when everybody wanted him to break up Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown they stayed the course they were rewarded for it by being the best team in the NBA and winning an NBA championship now let’s visit the can’s finishes since hiring Rod bremore Eastern Conference Finals first round second round second round Eastern Conference Finals second round and that’s where we stand right there’s just as much postseason disappointment with the Celtics as there has been with the canes there’s just as much this young group’s not putting it together there’s the redundancy Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the same this core they don’t have the Killer Instinct there’s just as much but but they didn’t light it on fire and start over they didn’t say we’ll keep Jason Tatum everybody else has to go they didn’t say that and they re were rewarded with for that patience with a championship I’m not saying this is a recommendation okay because I do think this offseason deserves to be an offseason of change for the Carolina Hurricanes but I do think it’s important to hear occasionally that just because you’re not getting the perfect end result doesn’t mean everything you’ve been doing is wrong right just because the canes haven’t gotten over the hump doesn’t mean Sebastian AO and fetch and slaven are incapable of being the center core of a team that does win the Stanley Cup the question is can you do the rest Derek white was great can you find Derek white hockey version right value that plays their way into a much bigger role and is now respected in the entire league can you find Chris staps porzingis right a dented can special veteran who is seen as as maybe not as valuable as he once was in his career but can still bring value that you can get on the cheap can you pick the right Marcus Smart right because people forget Marcus Smart at one point in time was the part of that core right it was Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown Marcus Smart he was a defensive player of the year in the league and they moved on from him is that Martin NES or is that someone else that you have to move on from and and trade and and shake things up Jaylen Brown part of that core that they kept together uh reflected on the growth between himself and Jason Tatum we’ve been through a lot you know we’ve been playing together for seven years now we’ve been through a lot you know the losses the expectations the media you know have said all different types of things you know we can’t play together we were never going to win we hurt it all um you know but we just blocked it out and we just kept going uh I trusted him he trusted me um and we we did it together so um you know to get to this point you know and share that experience with JT is is just awesome I can’t you know what I mean it’s just amazing and it feels great how do you get to the point where that speech is from Andre Fetch nikov and he’s talking about him and a right you don’t have to blow up everything you have to make the right strategic moves that’s what Brad Stevens was able to do and that’s what Eric tolsky their brand new GM is going to be tasked with in this scenario and this is a really good scenario when Paul and I kind of talk about something similar this morning I was blown away one because we were air to tie pro sports teams and the Carolina H po proos pro Boston sports teams and the Carolina Hurricanes together but also who would would you label as a porzingis for the Carolina Hurricanes in this in this situation a guy that’s been through two different markets before getting to the championship franchise one um I mean that’s that’s the the whole thing right and maybe the porzingis comes back in the trade for Martin NES right because I believe the Marcus Smart deal yes is what brought christs porzingis in so like and by the way that wasn’t the main part of the Marcus Smart deal right that was to make the money match Marcus Smart brought back I think two first round draft picks and then also Chris DBS porzingis so you never know Martin NIS right you might trade him away and be excited with some young defenseman you’re bringing back but then to make the deal work it’s like and give us that guy that forward and that forward might end up being a veteran that steadies you know the the fourth line and makes a few big plays in the postseason and look at that it’s the difference right it it’s it’s finding value everywhere finding value everywhere Celtics did a great job of that around Tatum and brown kanes have the same task around there I would you know probably more than two guys just because the roster is bigger it’s uh around AO fetch Jarvis slaven maybe one or two other guys other than that you might have to make some hard decisions the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan Tim Donnelly here for Miller lending finding value everywhere right how about this finding value you in not paying

4:00 check of your money Dow James up 56 points at 38,8 34 let’s move the chains time for football at 4 the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan uh Bryce Young quarterback Panthers welcome to being an NFL quarterback and what I mean by that is you can’t say anything to anyone in the media without it being combed through with a fine tooth comb right we are going to parse through everything and I’ll tell you what he said this time in a second but first a little bit of an update from the college baseball World Series uh I’ve been been stalling on this update simply hoping that uh maybe it would be a little bit more upbeat by the time I actually gave the update uh but Florida State 7 North Carolina 1 it is the bottom of the fifth with one out the good news is NC or UNCC does have uh two Runners on base with one out and Florida state has just been uh forced to make a pitch pitching change so you know one swing of the bat if it’s if it’s a Dinger away from being 74 are rally hats on yet no we’re not I saying not yet yeah we’re not in night then then not yet you got you got you got some time you can you know one run at a time can’t get it back with one swing can’t get it all back with one swing uh but we’ll keep you updated with that game as it as it goes along uh Bryce young said this to ESPN on Xavier leet his first round wide receiver this is Bryce Young’s quote that combination of size speed how explosive he is the way he comes out of routes it’s definitely something that I got to get used to we’re working on getting that timing down but I’m super excited they have to get used to each other Bryce young played with the wide receivers at Alabama Bryce young last year played with I don’t know if they’re full-blown NFL wide receivers but guys that were getting paid a lot of money to play wide receiver in the NFL last year and he really pretty much is threw to Adam D Adam th but you know Char at one point in time was pretty fast Mingo was a second round pick and he is still saying that Xavier Le get is different now I will say I’ve heard this said about a few other wide receivers that is like the straightaway speed yes but sometimes it’s their athletic ability to turn to break to cut without slowing down that is some of the more difficult things to adjust to I’ve heard this about Tyreek Hill I’ve heard Tyreek Hill you like every quarterback when you’re getting ready to throw with Tyreek Hill what do you do you warm up a little extra because you’re thinking like if we run a deep ball I’m putting it out there right because it becomes like a pride thing you’re he’s not going to outrun my arm right you throw it early you throw it far you let him run underneath it you your your pride stays intact but I’ve heard the thing with Tyreek Hill that’s the hardest to get used to is he can almost run full speed and cut like 90 ° without slowing down so it’s when you’re trying to time it out of breaks that you’re way behind him and that just takes getting used to right you just have to train your brain to think about him differently than every other wide receiver Bryce young is hinting that while probably not Tyreek Hill level zavier leet has some of that right it’s when when I talk about the way our brain is wired a lot in sports and it’s wired by every experience you’ve had right and and what I mean by that is somebody xaviery gets size when you’re a quarterback just somewhere in your brain deep inside your subconscious it tells you all right let’s not put it way out in front of him right let’s not put this break this throw on off the break way out in front of him because guys that big can’t move that fast and and the reason why your brain tells you that is because you’ve been throwing to to wide receivers and tight ends your entire life and every single one of them that’s been that big that size that that uh shape in your peripheral vision hasn’t been able to move that fast so now Bryce is having to reprogram his brain rewire his brain a little bit this is why I was concerned with Xavier Le get not playing at a mandatory mini camp because of the hamstring injury I understood the logic right it’s June right games aren’t played until the fall relax you have whatever like a month until everyone has to return for even training camp so chill and I’m sitting there going well it’s not like you’re already a finished product right you don’t need shoulder pads and helmets and and leg pads and and full everything contact for Bryce young to get to know that Xavier Le gets different in and out of breaks yeah it feels like with Bryce young and Xavier Le get when you just look at his size and how tall he is Bryce is going to have to get comfortable with one stepping back far enough in the pocket where he can Arch the football up a little bit and draw Xavier Legette and a Defender to maybe a 50-50 ball where he’s forcing Legette to jump up and beat a back or somebody in the secondary to secure a catch it’s it’s you know I’m trying to think of like if you had a let me think of a good wide receiver example here um if you had a tank Dell okay who’s I don’t know what 510 165 lb if you had tank Dell you would be anticipating throwing it to him like he’s quick as a cat because he’s smaller lower to the ground right has that that control looks like he’s moving quick if you had Calvin Johnson right just I’m just talking like body types here right 65 235 you’re probably comfortable throwing him a deep ball like he’s a track star but if he has to run a a dig you’re probably going to give him a few extra beats just a few extra snaps of your fingers to get in and out of his break because he’s got to slow down 235 pounds moving at 4240 fast that’s the difference here so now Xavier leet is whatever he is 61 230 62 230 whatever he is everything in your brain tells you to give that extra beat that extra second for him to get in out of breakes and he’s just not doing it he’s getting out faster or at least that’s kind of what’s being hinted here by Bryce young to ESPN that’s how far away their chemistry is from being ready to roll right it’s not the nuances it’s not down to the itty bitty little tiny things that you talk about on a game week hey if the corner plays you this way I want you to stem it out a little bit meaning just lean a little bit away from your break snap it off they’re not there yet they’re like hey let’s run these routes on air and make sure I know how good you are and the same is true the other way obviously this isn’t a quote from Xavier Le get but every quarterback’s a little different right every quarterback uh the ball comes out a little bit different trajectory the spiral may be a little bit different whatever it is and it’s not like Lee get’s coming from uh you know a scrub right Spencer Rattler is pretty good had some great games at South Carolina and Spencer Rattler in routes on air is an all World guy right you put him in shorts in a t-shirt Spencer Rattler can sling it with the best of them uh so so there’s a getting used to period from what Rattler was doing with some of his improv stuff and Bryce young which is so like I’m just going to get it to where it’s got to go on the on the money on the nose like it’s a different game there’s getting used to each other that has to happen with the Panthers and that’s not a problem as long as you can do it by

Gold show because I feel like we have to bring this up k Clark did not receive a special exemption into the US Open by the USGA that is probably an oversight and I’m sure many think pieces will be written about it Tiger Woods did get a special exemption into the US Open even though he clearly isn’t one of the 12 best American players which if you ask me is a double standard the Adam Gold show weekday starting at noon on 999 the fan Victoria VOD Necker from 999 the fan here with Dr brand hulahan from wakem she’s here to educate us a little bit more on men’s health month now people may not be aware of this but the technical screening window for a colonoscopy has changed right it has in the last couple years we’re now really recommending it at 45 much earlier right yes earlier than 50 that most people are used to the other thing to keep in mind is that if you have a first-degree relative meaning your parents or siblings that have had colon cancer you actually need to do it 10 years before the age they were diagnosed or 40 whichever comes first the day before you do have to kind of purge out the system so you have to do clear liquids it makes us be able to see everything in the colon but the day of the colonoscopy you get some medication you snooze and before you know it it’s all over well definitely important to know especially if you fit that Bill thank you so much Dr

in all states the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan it is time for cop or drop this is the portion of the show where the producer in this case Graham Hill throws everything he can at me we’re talking predictions guesses uh ideas anything in sports and I decide whether I’m copping or dropping it’s similar to a buy or a sell an in or an out an upper and down we call it copper drop Graham take it away all right since we had head coach Dave Doran earlier on the show we actually kicked off the show with that if you miss any of that conversation you can check it out on the fans YouTube channel it’s out now and the best of the drive with Tim Donley podcast Tim I ask you this since both anti-state men’s and women’s basketball teams made final four runs an ACC Championship for the men’s team three straight women’s cross country titles and six straight ACC Wrestling Championships copper drop NC State football makes the college football playoffs this season to keep the momentum going makes the college football playoff so you’re you this is the first year you you don’t need a you really don’t need a conference Championship to do it right um and NC state has never won an ACC or not never but it’s been since 1970 something it’s been a long time definitely hasn’t been since his tenure that’s for sure yes it’s been a long time since NC State won an ACC title um I will see here’s the thing you kind of hinted at well you didn’t hint at this you didn’t straight up asking but you did ask you know is there some nerves to keep the keep the success going The Vibes rolling um here’s the thing I like NC State’s chances to make the college football playoff this year I think the rest of the ACC is in a weird place I think Clemson is down because Davos Sweeney refuses to take transfers I think Florida state is in a weird head space and obviously trying to replace some really good players leading wide receiver quarterback leading running back uh and I and I mean they were undefeated last year and didn’t make it so maybe they’re a little little angry um I think NC State I like their chances the problem is outside of like Georgia or Alabama on one of the years where they’re just juggernauts it’s probably going to be smart for to always take the field like to just say no you won’t making the college fo being a top 12 team and you really you have to be maybe top eight or nine to to make it because one of those is going to go to a group of five uh they you know the Big 12 Champion makes it regardless like there’s Auto bids and all this weird stuff we’re going to have to discuss I think it’s smart to say no for any team in the ACC like if I’m a gambling person in this scenario I think it’s smart to say no for any team but I do like their chances so I’m gonna I’m gonna drop it with all of that talk just to say I still like their like if somebody has like a 33% chance of making the college football playoff that’s awesome right onethird of the time you’re going to be in the college football playoff with a chance to win a title that’s unbelievable but that still means there’s a 66.66% chance that you don’t make it so I I’m I’m I’m dropping it but with with Shades of Gray let me give a side question to add on to that copper drop NC State reaches a 10- win season mark this year interest well I they see some that also hasn’t happened yeah I was gonna say it’s including Bowl gam yeah including bowl game that usually how it goes I mean the I can’t remember how many years it’s been maybe it’s been at least four maybe three they’ve gone to consective nine win Seasons but it’s always that bowl game that they struggle in I’ll cop it I’ll cop it I like their team I like what they did in the transfer portal the question will be and I I’ll give you like a extremely firm answer like between week three and four right because I think if they’re going to stumble if there’s going to be some ugly it’s going to be early because with so many transfers it’s going to be a feeling out process and it’s going to be trying to figure out if they look strong three four weeks in then I’ll start being much more confident making Bolder predictions about their success but you know you could you could easily drop two or three of your first five be one of the best teams in the country by week 12 but your resume won’t let you achieve the things you want to achieve because you had those early missteps which weren’t really about how good you were they were about how new you were uh so so that’s that’s where all I think I’ve heard you say it before they have so many players that their problem is going to be how do they figure out how to get the ball to that many guys on offense could be and and the one thing about the transfer portal is you can completely remake your team right and they have a new quarterback they have two new running backs they have uh two new wide receivers plus three stud wide at least three stud wide receivers coming in as freshman they have a new tight end they have multiple new uh offensive linemen out of the portal that was all just out of the portal aside from those two recruits I mentioned three recruits I mentioned um most of the time people don’t transfer to be a project sometimes coming out of high school you understand I got to put on 35 pounds before they can really use me or I’m coming from a small high school and they see the potential but it’s going to take two or three years I’ll red shirt very rarely out of the transfer portal are you like yeah you know what I’m going to transfer and hopefully two years from now I can make an impact they’re all going to be expecting to make an impact and that’s a lot of mouse defeat so it’s going to like you know you got to know uh Shaq talks about it a lot with his point guards certain point guards knew hey we went up and down the field three times or up and down the court three times the big man hasn’t got a touch I don’t care what play the coach calls I’m throwing it in the post to the diesel because he needs it Grayson McCall is going to have to be a little bit of that where it’s like all right Casey concepion hasn’t gotten something in two drives that can’t happen Noah Rogers hasn’t gotten a chance at a big play today yet that can’t happen and he’s going to have to make sure they they get their chances you bring up a very good point I mean their first five game of the season if they’re three and two college football playoff hopes might look a little glim but you still then they’d have to go win the the ACC you still have a chance yeah they have to pretty much run the table essentially with then they’d have to they’d have to call up coach Keats and say all right uh we can’t lose a game in conference play to win an ACC Championship how do we do this if they’re two I’m counting losses to Tennessee and Clemson just because there’s their two early opponents early on but if they’re five and0 five games in eyes open up yeah eyes open eyes open up Spotlight gets a little bit brighter moving on now the Boston Celtics have won the franchise 18 Championship break in the Los Angeles Lakers for most in league history copper drop the Boston Celtics are the best franchise now in the NBA hard to argue hard to argue uh what I will say and I hate when people do this but I’m going to do it some of those championships came with like eight teams in the league like eight I don’t know like there there needs to be a like some someone smarter than me can come up with an equation of like like if you win a if you win an NBA championship with 32 teams in the league should that be like 1.6 of a championship that you won with eight teams in the league by the way the Lakers have their share of super old champ they they still claim the Minneapolis championships so you know there’s there’s differences there uh I just think it’s it’s hard to judge by Era but if you’re just counting Rings hard to argue with the Boston Celtics sticking with the NBA for just a little bit longer since early in the show we talked about it for as long as the series actually happened does Luca Don’s overall performance in the NBA Finals tarnish his reputation in the NBA copper drop not yet um he’s 25 years old that I mean he he that’s before MJ got his first before LeBron got his first like it he’s a five-time all NBA first team selection and he’s 25 years old did he maybe learn some lessons the hard way in this series you darn right he may have learned some lessons the hard way but no I’m not it doesn’t tarnish his legacy his legacy right now is he’s one of the best offensive players of this generation if he wants to be remembered like right now I put him with like uh Dominique Wilkins George gerin um Alex English right you look back at some of these guys throughout history it’s like all right they were one of the best offensive players of their generation if he wants to be one of the best players of his generation probably get a little bit better on defense probably stop whining at the ref so much probably has to win a ring or two then we can have those conversations but his Legacy isn’t tarnished by losing as much as it’s not tarnished by any 25-year-old not having a ring moving back to Sunday or going back to Sunday just because I’m not really ready to move on from it US Open Championship discussion copper drop Roy mler didn’t owe the media anything following his loss at the US Open because Paul iander and I talked about this earlier in the day on next up which you can go back and listen to and listen from 9 to 10 every day just curious on your thoughts uh he he he does owe the media I think he I don’t think it’s the worst transgression in the world so so for those you that don’t know uh Rory mroy choked away the US open at Pinehurst I I think that’s fair to say uh brutal brutal loss for somebody that I was pulling for and didn’t do any of his post round media watched Bryson D chambo win and then within six minutes of Bryson D Cho’s putt falling to win the tournament pushing Rory to Second uh he was in his car and he was actually spinning tires on the way out of the the uh parking lot those lexes have a lot of horsepower maybe he just wasn’t ready for the for the gas to yeah I’m sure he’s usually driving around in something with much less horsepower all $500 million net worth he’s used to driving around in a hoopdee like the rest of us um I do think athletes just like the bare minimum right answer questions for 10 minutes take off that’s I think what you should do why because payments in in the sport are going up what brings payments eyeballs media agreements sponsors like it is for all of the competition it is is an entertainment product also and all of the collapses in history Greg Norman uh velt um like all of the biggest collapses they’ve they’ve answered questions when they’re they’re done uh I don’t think it’s the biggest transgression in the world I’m not like hating him for it but I do think I do think he owes you know the people something the the entertainment product of it needs that story um but you know it’s it’s a it’s a misdemeanor you know what I mean it’s a let him off with a warning or or a fine we’re not we’re not talking jail time in media jail just don’t go spin tires anymore after a loss moving to some local news but but like I’ll say this also I remember vividly vividly it was against Maine right I played FCS football FCS football PGA Tour major championship golf like that’s not Apples to Apples that’s not apples to oranges that’s like apples to roofing shingles how different those two are but I vividly remember we were at Maine it was cold it was gross it was Mane and I threw four interceptions and and guess what I had to go sit up there at a press conference with main media where they asked questions that I’m like that’s not going in your article that’s just mean but I had to answer them right they’re going like oh why would you have confidence in yourself moving forward I’m like that’s what we’re leading with yeah I had a bad game I didn’t like you know turn into the worst football player to ever live right I’m I still have way more touchdowns and interceptions on the season but you can’t say that instead you have to go well you know we’re going to get back in the drawing board we’re fil we’re going to work hard this week in practice and you know the confidence comes from the work and it’s like what what are we doing here right but if if lowly former walk-on FCS quarterbacks have to stand up there and face the music after alltime kind of career worse performances then you know Rory Moy who walked away with like $2 million from that tournament should probably face the music as well going to some local news that broke earlier today copper drop Justin Williams will become Eric tol’s consultant for the Carolina Hurricanes I’m gonna go drop it I think it would be cool to have Justin Williams in that role I think he would be good at it I think he could provide the things they’re looking for in that role but I think they would have announced them both at the same time if it were happening right we we got the news of Eric tski today as the GM why wouldn’t you go Eric tolsky GM and Justin Williams as consultant press conference at the same time uh so so I I think they’re probably still looking or maybe maybe it’ll be Justin Williams I just don’t think they believe it is right now sticking with the Carolina Hurricanes last one and hear me out I’m paying a picture here pain away I don’t know if you heard this the resurgent New York is this abstract is this going to look contemporary cont okay or is that just the music Dr anyway the resurgent New York Mets have found a mid June spark from an unlikely source McDonald’s mascot Grimace they’re now 5-0 since Grimace threw out the first pitch on June 12th copper drop Grimace needs to be the ceremonial putt drop uh person at Carolina Hurricanes opening night for them to get off to a good start all this change first of all I a Mets fan and if I’m the Carolina Hurricanes and I am superstitious which I understand people are superstitious out there I’m not but I understand it uh so you’d be bringing in Grimace as a super Superstition thing right it would be like a hey everything he touches turns to Gold He’s Got The mightest Touch bring him in you’re going to win he’s in the background behind the glasses Adam Adam Lee Decker sings the national anthem just looking if you are a superstitious person you do not want anything that has had any contact with the New York Mets anywhere near your your your Hockey Club fair enough you don’t if if you don’t want like Mike Piaza watching uh and by the way Mike Piaza is my guy growing up I am I am a big Mets fan uh I root for them every single year I my heart gets broken every single year I’m letting whatever superstitions the Mets are doing stay over there and if Grimace works for them fantastic because as a Mets fan I’ll tell you what I’m what I’m thinking of all right how’s this going to end poorly how is this gonna GNA come how is this gonna yeah exactly how is this GNA come back to bite us who’s it’s it’s going to make us believe that Grimace matters and we’re all going to be going to McDonald’s and we’re all going to be cheering on this this team and then somehow the rug is going to get pulled out from under us and I wouldn’t wish that on the I wouldn’t wish a Mets fandom on anybody especially not Kane’s fans it almost feels like now going back to the trumpets I remember got to a point where yeah it was cool for a while then now everybody just Associates the Trumpets like foreseeing unfortunate events for your sports team it’s like whenever somebody plays the Trump and they’re saying like no no no turn it off but if see Mets fans didn’t even need that realization we already knew we’ve been born into it uh before we get to storm tracker quick update top of the sixth two outs North Carolina’s made a little bit of a comeback it was 71 now it is 75 Florida State still on top uh with two outs Florida state has two Runners on uh in in the top of the sixth but a two-run game as we enter into the final final inning I believe it was the last inning and you can quote me if I’m wrong but to hit a three-run home run to get this scoring started it was none other than Mr Seven himself V Hony cut yes it was Vance honey cut Homer to left Madera and Wilkerson scored uh and then Van de break single to center with Harbor scoring to get the other run across that’s a three-run shot by Honeycut I mean the guy is he’s a metronome you can depend on him uh with that being said score 75 Florida State over North Carolina uh top of the six two outs two Runners on for Florida State obviously UNCC still to bat in this inning uh we’ll jump into storm tracker we’ll jump into storm tracker there it is Storm Tracker Where we look at the biggest rumors for the Carolina Hurricanes and the reports are out there and this trade or that trade this coach that coach Graham what are we breaking down today you know first things first now that I’ve been producing the drive for you for five days I have so much more respect for Dennis Scot because coming up with rumors for storm tracker right now is very tough sometimes they come fast and furious sometimes we got to do four Rumors in one storm tracker sometimes we’re looking on Twitter and we’re finding Kane’s fan 7595 uh who just said hey why don’t we trade Sebastian AO for uh Conor McDavid and we talk about that so we we find rumors wherever we can I I was tempted to come in here and just say Tim dony here are the teams not listed with Martin hes right now in free agency but I found a little nugget thanks to Paul this morning is Brett pesy heading out west to join the Anaheim Ducks duck general manager Pat bre has made his intentions for the 2024 offseason clear regarding what areas of the roster he means to improve on he wants a top four right shot defenseman at the top of his wish list along with a top six right shot Winger so you which was it peshi or Shay that you that PES Brett peshi see here’s like peshi is very good I think he’s going to be very expensive I think he’s his game will age a little bit worse than Shay so so I would put a priority on Shay over peshi but I like them both uh obviously peshi you saw kind of what’s missing when he’s out of the lineup late in the season the Ducks are interested in in the the the top four defenseman I I could see that being the case uh just for this reason the Ducks what were they were they dead last in the Pacific no cuz San Jose is in the Pacific so they must have been second or third to to last in the Pacific they were close to the bottom um they probably are aware I used to call it uh this was involving the Washington football team uh the commanders organization I used to say you had to pay the Washington tax which is if you wanted a free agent to go to Washington you were going to have to pay like 110% of what anyone else was willing to pay just because people knew how dysfunctional how bad it was there um Anaheim probably is aware that there’s a little bit of attack if you want a player like peshi who this will be the last big big big contract he signs uh if if you want him to come to Town you’re probably going to pay a little bit more and if you’re peshy with this being your last big big big contract you might be interested in something like that so if they do if they’ve made it very vocal that they want a top defenseman that seems like some things are lining up right that seems like some some priorities may be aligning really what you have to ask yourself is how much pesh he wants to be on a winner and how much less he might be willing to take to do so because I could see Anheim being the highest bidder if they have the cap room I mean the Anaheim Ducks are going through so many changes right now not just the logo but just roster change just up and down and they also are probably aware as you mentioned you got to think about this the right side of the K’s Blue Line seems pretty stable right now with Bren Burns coming back you just resigned Jaylen Chatfield last week incoming rookie Scott mura set to fill out that position on the depth chart in Carolina for 2024-25 you’re left with this discussion of who are you GNA be who are you going to bring back between Brady Shay and Brett pestry if you can even bring both of them back I I think the answer to that is neither I think they’re and not because you don’t want them back I would love to have them both back but simply because uh right you resign Chatfield that kind of gives you a solid top four right with uh Burns and slaven up top and then orav and Chatfield in that second pairing then you have Morrow uh and and I have to imagine there’s a slightly cheaper veteran option you can use to fill out the third line especially knowing how many holes you might have at the the top six of your forwards right if Tavo tavine and and Jake gensel both don’t return I mean those spots aren’t going to be filled by Cheap individuals you’re going have to go find somebody to play there uh if you trade Martine NES obviously you might fill a hole with whatever you bring back in the trade but now you’re looking at you know three of your top six seven forwards that’s going to be priority number one for me so uh you know knowing you have your top four defenseman kind of already accounted for I think it’s hard to spend big money on that that third pairing so unfortunately you know Shay and peshi just kind of get priced out by how how well they played I almost wish you could go back and tell peshi and Shay like hey you’re in contract years don’t play as well and we might be able to bring you back because you play you know you played solid you did the things that you’ve been doing for a long time and and that’s made it very difficult for them to be be canes next year with that being said if I had my brothers if I get to pick right I get to be the the puppeteer of the entire NHL I would love for them to get paid exorbitant amounts of money from a team like the Ducks then then you know they’re not going to come back to bite you in the the postseason where it’s like oh no we have to watch troch give us the business right it’s not like oh we got to watch peshi have a massive Series against us uh after deciding to let him walk and then he gets paid everything he deserves which I I think is is a bunch so yeah peshi to the Anaheim I mean you know it’s probably smart to take the field against anyone team for any of these guys but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens man they want to give us uh Trevor’s I can never remember how to pronounce this last name Trevor zass zis there you go we’ll give it a go Trevor zis if they want to give they just want to give it up just for fun well we’ll take them that can be that can be porzingis for the Carolina Hurricanes and that Boston Celtics sign in TR scenario that you made earlier uh hey we’re always looking for a porzingis the drive with Tim Donal 999 the fan it’s time for a feedback frenzy but first I need to tell you about my friends over at Fox and Bailey watch shop located inside

some of the best comments that many of you have made on our YouTube page on our social medias and anywhere else we can find it uh quick quick update on the men’s college baseball World Series Florida State 7 North Carolina five bottom of the 6th and two outs North Carolina’s at the plate nobody on um two-run game though two-run game UNC very much in it they were down 71 so it actually feels like they have a bit of momentum down 75 uh but Florida state has the lead as we speak and it is an elimination game so lose and go home we’ll keep updated as that game goes along with that being said let’s jump into a feedback frenzy Graham what do you have for us so for context purposes Tim believe it or not this is my first time ever doing a feedback frenzy with you feedback frenzy and I’m a little nervous because when you say best comments I didn’t know if this is supposed to be a form of positivity for more fans to you not is this a CH is this a chance for you to like get back how funny would that be if this were just like I love this show so much Tim appreciate you just read no when I say best I mean um most informative best arguments best disagreements could be an agreement like just whatever is most entertaining to the producer that that peruses and chooses all right well let’s start off with this about four days ago we were talking about the Carolina Hurricane’s plan to retain Jaylen Chatfield at J JG Wentworth I don’t think I’m even allowed to say the numbers that the end of his username hey hey hey I don’t know if he was given homage to John forzen there so do we have a GM yet you haven’t reminded us today uh that I I don’t know if that’s sarcasm or not because I do feel like we talked a lot about how they didn’t have a GM um if we didn’t then it’s just because we got bored doing it uh we for a while we were counting like 10 days without a GM 11 days without a GM 12 days it got up to 23 days without a GM or like at certain point you just got to kind of understand that they’re going to take their time as of today though Eric tolsky is the GM so there you go to answer the question yes the canes do have a GM it is Eric they kicked the interim tag off of his title he is now the permanent GM no I was trying to be a little fous there moving on 3 days ago should the Ryan Davis 4448 responded to our question should the Carolina Panthers extend Deontay Johnson uh dot dot dot dot no because with a z for Johnson to have 1,000 yards Bryce has to have a good season also that’s too many whatups maybe for 22 million per year well let me ask you this did Bryce Young have a good season last year I think most of us would say probably not Adam Thon had a thousand yards last year so let’s just let’s just slide Deontay Johnson into that exact situation he’ll have if if he gets the exact same targets the exact same leverage the exact same opportunity as Adam Thiel did last year Deontay Johnson will have significantly more than a thousand yards because he’s much better after the catch he’s just at a younger bracket right Adam th of seven years ago probably would have had 13 or, 1400 yards instead of just barely over a thousand uh Deontay Johnson would probably do that on the same deal and that’s without Bryce young getting any better if Bryce young gets better those targets become higher quality uh those targets become better for run after the catch so uh I don’t think it’s outlandish at all to say Deontay Johnson’s gon to have a thousand yards I think you know 11 12007 touchdowns is well within the realm of possibility if you missed earlier in the show we had NC State head football coach Dave Dorne join us to kick things off this afternoon and if you missed this if you missed this last Sal he was actually very nice I’m that’s just a joke I was we appreciate coach doran’s time this afternoon best of luck this season hope to talk to him again later on before the season kicks things off but also speaking of football if you missed this four days ago we had Matt chazel new n State playball play commentator for football and men’s basketball for this upcoming season I don’t know what Adam Davenport 6421 comment meant by this I just found it extremely hilarious all right I’m I’m looking forward to it I’m still kind of disappointed that Gary Han didn’t stay with NC State until he was 85 just just just just that’s how long I wanted him I wanted Gary Han till 85 all right I mean hey that’s a compliment to Gary Gary’s a legend you didn’t want him to leave that’s fine right but also there was ever a time to leave which I mean I know that Gary said before the season that he was going to retire before the basketball season it was a magical little he got to go out on a he got to go on a high horse we even got to interview Gary H part of pack therapy leading up to the men’s Final Four game where he said like I have some thank yous I’m going to make but I’m I’m happy to fold up that piece of paper and put it in my pocket each time they win I think he even said maybe what before the ACC tournament he started to go ahead and ride out on that piece of paper thank you notes and then after every game just got to fold it back up fold it back up so it is very much uh a compliment and I I mean Gary H’s a legend but you know we we’ve talked about this I talked about this with Dennis when we were actually at Pinehurst for the the Wednesday practice round on air uh it it doesn’t it’s going to be different without Gary hon he’s a legend he was great it doesn’t necessarily have to be worse it’s just going to be different right NC State that program they’re going to be they’re going to move forward right part of the reason why garyan loved the program is because what the program was and that’s still what it is uh but but yes you you’ll miss a guy like that again I just found that comment extremely hilarious I no one’s allowed to retire before 85 I just wanted to pass that along to no one’s allowed to go enjoy family until 85 just ask Adam on on YouTube three days ago when we were talking about Trevor Lawrence’s 275 million extension and how it could be motivation for Carolina Panthers with Bryce young at T Wells 1015 said bro they’re searching for Content putting Bryce in the same sentence with any stting quarterback in the NFL f is wild well wasn’t he a story actually yeah I was going to say he is a starting quarterback that much is you could say a rookie too you could say he’s not a good starting quarterback you could say he’s not a franchise starting quarterback you you like you could say he’s not a bad starting Court you can put qualifiers on it but it’s it’s factual that he was start 16 games last year last season uh and the one that he didn’t start it was they tried to sell us on injury I’m not 100% convinced but uh but yeah I mean he is a starting quarterback uh and that’s kind of what I was saying right Trevor Lawrence was was rough in his rookie year as well turned into a guy that apparently you’re comfortable calling a starting quarterback so just open up your mind to the possibility that Bryce can do the same thing also I don’t think we were necessarily searching for Content when we brought a good or you brought a good comparison about how when you look at the two the two quarterbacks in their careers Trevor Lawrence when he first started out went through an absolute dumpster fire with the Jacksonville Jaguars and then go were we were really struggling for Content talking about the biggest contract in the history of the most popular league in our country really scraping the bottom of the barrel not to say we don’t scrape the bottom of the barrel occasionally for Content because there are days where just there’s not much happening and we have to lean on opinions and and things to to make a show but uh the biggest perear contract in the history of the NFL and how that might affect a team that drafted a player at the same point in the draft a few drafts later yeah well I think that’s I think that’s a fair conversation to have or apologies we have time for one more of course just because I think this was actually a very generous question when we were talking about yesterday the pre-training camp break before the Carolina Panthers what needs to happen prior and you were kind of saying this could be a good opportunity for Bryce youngon to kind of get some of these new receivers together and go through the offensive Playbook that Dave canals is putting in um at Johnny by 6878 said am I Mis am I misremembering or didn’t Bryce do this last year I recall videos of it I actually think Andy Dalton threw it last year that’s what I was gonna say I think you remember you tell me yesterday that was Andy Dalton that kind of got the rookies and by the way I’m we can go search that uh and I can remind you tomorrow but I’m pretty sure Andy Dalton threw it which makes sense right the veteran at this point Bryce young would have been you know just drafted uh and and trying to make this happen which is a little bit more ult the veteran Andy you know maybe maybe Bryce threw him some shekels because you know Bryce making the big money now and Andy’s not making as much uh but Andy made a lot of money for a long time too uh so so I’m I think it happened for the Panthers I think this year it’s happening because Bryce young is setting it up which is a little bit different slightly but good point if it’s true I again like I said I’ll I’ll revisit if I’m wrong you’ll hear about it tomorrow the drive with Tim Donnelly 999 the fan uh

keep you updated on the starting five starting with number five Boston Celtics win the NBA championship last night beat the Dallas Mavericks gosh did game four feel like a weird outlier in that series uh Boston was the better team Boston was the more complete team Dallas smoked him in game four it just felt like throughout the night Jason Tatum was like looking for his NBA Finals photo with how many three-pointers he was taken Jason Tatum I don’t say this to make fun of him he just won an NBA championship you get I said this about uh uh Bryson dambo with the US Open you kind of get like a week to be like as corny and happy and cheesy as you want to be once you achieve like one of your ultimate goals but man did Jason Tatum seem like he was really looking for like a new profile picture after that uh after after winning he was running around trying to do every like you know celebration that he remembers anyone doing he got the cool photo with his son which by the way is awesome uh threw the sun in the air to celebrate but he he did the what Kevin Garnett did anything is possible and then Jason Tatum did like we did it and did like it felt like he was running around like pretending to be someone that just want an NBA title rather than somebody that just won an NBA title it felt like that game was over at the end of the first quarter when the Boston Celtics established a nice run then in the second quar towards the end of the second quarter right before the half when they went on an 113 run and then it was it was the buzzer beater and then when Pritchard hit another halfcourt shot in this same series I was like that’s it that’s that’s a wrap you don’t have to throw up the TV broadcast schedule for game six and seven how funny is it that it’s like pritchard’s thing they put him like if there’s a dead ball with like four seconds left they’re like Pritchard get in there quick right he’s like the you do it once and that becomes like your go he’s like a specialist it’s like get the ball to Pritchard and he Chucks it three4 of the the way and it goes in really the other thing is and this is again no disrespect to anybody uh Pritchard has to jump for chest bumps Jason Tatum came over to CH Jason Tatum is like 69 Pritchard is a small NBA player large regular human but a small NBA player and Jason Tatum jumped for a chest bump and Pritchard got up late and he got like a face full of belly uh it was just not a well executed chest bump other than that though great shot awesome you know like like we just said it was kind of the the signifier that the game was over can I do a Vance Honeycut watch sure lead off hit bottom of the seventh over the Short Stops head into Center of left and Center left and center field up the middle that one that we’re watching right now little Chopper and we have Vance honey cut on first base of course we have Vance honey cut on first base who else would it be it’s unreal so yeah Florida State 7 North Carol five bottom of the seventh no outs Vance honey cut on First and uh that’s the way it sits right now yeah haven’t really talked about last night either with the whole Kyrie thing did he fell out at the end I don’t know if he F uh to be completely honest I I don’t remember I just saw him like going over to the B Celtics bench and I tried to watch the game I was watching it while I was working out and I literally was like you know what this thing is is not even exciting like it’s it’s over I was going I was checking my phone every now and then to make sure there wasn’t some big dramatic comeback but as long as it was staying like you know 17 18 20 points I wasn’t paying attention I did see today that uh Kyrie Irving did the whole like either he was checked out with two minutes and change left or he fouled out and he went and hugged everybody yeah little performative we’ve seen LeBron do it don’t love it go sit on the bench celebrate with him after give him a high five after don’t celebrate with them after but give them their their bro hug after uh but going back to what we were saying earlier uh the Boston Celtics are a very very good reminder for the Carolina Hurricanes that you can be in the postseason six seven you know eight years consecutively and fall short and fall short and fall short and get closer and then fall short and then fall back and fall short then get closer and fall and and then eventually get over that hump with some well-placed tweaks uh Joe moula the head coach of Boston talked about how this title has been years in the making it feels good uh I think the most important thing something that’s really been really going through my mind throughout this process is you can’t lose sight of the people that came before us and um I want to make sure every person that’s worked for the Celtics that’s played for the Celtics that didn’t win uh knows that their work and what they’ve done hasn’t gone unnoticed or it doesn’t play a part in where we’re at today it can be so easy when you work for this organization and you don’t win that the work that people put in uh just gets brushed over or gets ignored and um when I first got here the staff you know Brad’s coaching the staff that they had the the foundation that they built with these guys when they were young the foundation of what we have is one of the reasons why we’re here today um so I think that that’s one of the first things that came to mind was just because we won this doesn’t mean what the people have done before us isn’t just as important very cool cuz he hasn’t been there for the long run and he’s saying it was years in the making which is uh you know deferring some of the the credit which hey what what’s my one of my first rules of leadership deflect credit attract blame that’s what a CO should be doing in that moment uh and it’s it’s like I said it’s it’s a good omen for the canes that you can be close for a bunch of years and it’s not some fatal flaw that’ll keep you from breaking through that that glass ceiling forever it’s just something that you can go ahead and and fight through uh was that a stolen stolen base attempt yes Advance Honeycut was tagged out Advance honey cut caught stealing Vance we’ve been hyping you up what are you doing that didn’t look all that pleasant when he the way his shoulder made contact with that bag he looks F he’s young and flexible so now two outs bottom of the seventh nobody on base Carolina Trails seven to five you might only get one more at bat for Vance Honeycut somebody else somebody else is going to have to make a play uh that’s number five let’s get to number four we are the four horsemen Bryce young told the SPN that he has to get used to Xavier Le get talking the size the explosion the ability to get in and out of cuts something they’re working on getting that timing together for oh he didn’t mean his accent although maybe he does Z A lot’s been said about Xavier leg’s accent I love it uh I think most people do do you hear him talking about the the helmet tight yeah he his helmet I guess was you know anyone’s ever worn a football helmet first time you put on be a little you know first time after a while or if you get too much air in it if it’s one of those air helmets oh it could be Mighty unpleasant he was uh complaining about his helmet being tight and in his accent it’s just one of those things where like everything’s kind of funny uh and there are by the way that I I want to be clear I’m not like making fun of his accent It’s just sometimes you really got to lock in on what he’s saying because it’s it’s hard to understand uh but Bryce young city has to get used to Xavier Le get like the route Runner which is good news you know who you don’t have to get used to the wide receiver that runs routes like every other wide receiver you don’t have to get used to that guy you’re just like all right this is similar to everyone I threw to last year you know who else doesn’t have to get used to those wide receivers defensive backs right when the quarterback’s like gez I’ve never seen a guy that size that can get it out of breaks that quickly I have to you know teach my brain to throw it a little bit earlier to him that’s also a defensive back going geez I didn’t think he could get to that ball or I didn’t think he could break that quickly so I turned my hips thinking I could recover and then he snapped off the comeback and and he and he chopped the break a little bit more steep of an angle it’s good news that Bryce young is saying he has to get used to zette now he just has to get used to him now you have to actually you have to do it right you have to find a way to uh get used to it but once you do right you’ll throw to zavor Le get every day defensive backs will face him once a year twice a year so it’s a good news for the Panthers that he’s hard to get get used to but it feels like Xavier get has the potential to be wide receiver one just because as you mentioned his strength and his size and his height is so unique eventually eventually wide receiver one I I don’t like Deontay Johnson I think is number one for this year yeah but the plan when you draft someone in the first round is to eventually year two year three whenever it is turn those Reigns over right and and I expect that to happen as soon as he’s ready but don’t disrespect and I’m not saying you were but Deontay Johnson deserves to get a season where he’s the number one option I guess I should have said I’m ready to see what Bryce Jun do with a high Aran pass to get Xavier Legette in one-on-one coverage and go up for a 50-50 ball to beat a defensive back or the the right it’s I want to see a 60- yard touchdown pass and I don’t care if it travels 59 yards in the air or one yard in the air right because they Le get the other thing he can do with that explosiveness and that change of direction is be great after the catch right so if I’m Bryce young I love a screen pass that goes for a 60- yard touchdown especially because the Panthers have no Prime Time games this year right they have no Thursday night Sunday night Monday night games which means a lot of people won’t be watching their that could be Flex though right the Thursday night game I think no they have a Thursday night morning game in Germany that’s uh yeah yeah that’s right like kind of their only Standalone game but most people will not be watching many of their games right if you’re a ners fan you’re probably not going to watch much of the Panthers so when they check their fantasy apps they’re just going to see 60- yard touchdown pass Bryce young and go all right he’s turning it around they don’t have to know that it was a screen for four yards in the air and Xavier Legette did the rest 60 yard touchdown is a 60 yard touchdown that’s what I always say hey a lot of people are going to be rushing to Carolina ill houses in the area after church to get for those one o00 kickoffs OB watch I’m talk there’s no way Bryce young can go under the radar for Panther fans or in Carolina I’m talking about elsewhere in the uh in the country like if if you’re in Green Bay Wisconsin how many Panther games are you going to catch probably not many that’s number four let’s get to number three one two three Stanley Cup Finals game five tonight if they continue to follow the trajectory of the NBA Finals uh this will be a win for the Panthers right cuz the Panthers went up 3 0 just like the Celtics went up 3 0 they looked like the better team then the Mavericks came out of nowhere to absolutely dominate game four Edmonton came out of nowhere to absolutely dominate game four so if they’re following the same trajectory this will be a win for the Carolina Panthers and it’ll end in a five-game series yeah I feel like what we saw from the Edmonton oers in game four was a little bit of emptying the tank maybe and a little bit of Conor McDavid saying I want won’t go down like this I’m not going to put my white flag up and surrender isn’t that a song or something not going to put your white flag up and surrender yeah I I mean I’m sure there are I’m sure there’s some lyrics that reference White Flags back my head but yeah I just feel like it’s going to be hard for them to imitate what they were able to do especially with how much offensive production they put into scoring in game four and game five tonight knowing the Flor Panthers are probably like as we talked about yesterday I didn’t hear no bill yeah you got one good knock in on us but now it’s time for us to to come back and respond with a punch Jerry West the late grade passed away recently could Conor McDavid Go full Jerry West and what I mean by that is I believe Jerry West won Finals MVP in a series that his Lakers lost could Conor McDavid win the K SM trophy uh as the the best player in the postseason despite losing and not winning the Stanley Cup if if Conor McDavid really wants to because it feels like s what we’re seeing in this North Carolina Florida State game it’s just going to have to be with Vance Honeycut it’s just going to have to be a Conor McDavid show essentially like it was in game four with four points of the Carolina or the Carolina I wish the Evon or points against the Florida Panthers came from McDavid McDavid has tallied eight more points than anyone else in the postseason his 32 assists if you take away the six goals he scored just the 32 assists that alone is more points than anyone else has had in the post postseason if you include their goals and assists I think it’s a possibility if he has like a three-point night and they lose tonight I don’t like if if they win if if the Florida Panthers win like 54 and McDavid has his hand in three or four of the goals I don’t know if you can give it to to uh Bob when he gave up he would have given up you know was it five goals last night got hold or last game and then another four or five you know three or four this game I don’t know if you can give it to like barov if McDavid is having those kind of nights do you give it to like kachuck just on on default or do you you be bold and give it to McDavid who quite frankly is the best player in the postseason and by the way that’s what you’re going up against in the NHL like no one has to tell anyone to draft McDavid and pay him enough to keep him around like you’re going to do that if you happen to get the luck of the the NHL draft lottery that year but if you don’t have one of those guys if you don’t have McDavid you have to build a team complete team that is good enough to beat him speaking of Bob after giving up eight goals in game four you’d be lucky if you’re able to score two goals on him tonight because the great w the Bob did not collapse in game four just took just took a little bit of a crack all right a little bit of erosion happened I mean they pulled them how’s that taste Sergey babros maybe it did a little bit more of a crack maybe uh we couple of bricks and M it’s structurally stable uh I’m I’m not worried about Bop uh that is number three let’s get to number two here in the starting five we have it reserved for an update on the North Carolina vers Florida State baseball game so here it comes Florida State 7 North Carolina 5 to ACC schools battling it out in a elimination game of the men’s College World Series in Omaha Florida state is the eighth best team in the country according to the rankings Florida or uh North Carolina is the fourth it is the top of the eighth inning and it’s a two-run lead for Florida State Florida state is at the plate with one out they have a runner on First with a reserve in the bullpen warming up North Carolina at this point is going to use I mean if they got to use one pitcher per batter you have to do what you have to do there’s no tomorrow to save for uh and somebody has to make a play right I’ve been saying this now for 48 hours about North Carolina Vance honey cut you can depend on him and he’s already hit a three-run home run today so you know regardless of what happens he’s done his part somebody else is GNA have to make a play and by the way that’s so often what postseasons come down to right could be Casey cook could be someone uh could be could be I mean Stevens we just List names so often in the postseason of college sports it comes down to who has the quote unquote role player that makes a name for themselves right you see it in in March Madness every year you see it in college football every year you see it in in Omaha every year right especially in baseball where it only takes one swing to become a legend or one diving catch to become a legend it is um a lot of times comes down to like who gets the most production from the top to bottom of the roster in the ACC you’re always going to have a handful of dudes that are just absurdly good another out there foul ball caught by UNC so they’re in the field now with two outs and a runner on first top of the eighth it is number 25 Ben Peterson right-handed pitcher a senior right-handed picture that’s warming up in the bullpen for Carolina I want to go back to what you just mentioned about how there’s no pitch really to save for tomorrow this situation for North Carolina well that is true you’re down seven to eight top of the eighth down seven to five excuse me top of the eighth inning in elimination game but the bad news for Carolina the good news is if Carolina wins their season goes on the bad news is they have a monster in Tennessee facing them looking at them in the face their next game you face I’m big on not Crossing Bridges till you get to them live to fight another day it’s yeah maybe maybe Tennessee will eat bad scallops uh I don’t I think there’s a movie about that I think there’s a movie with Doug fluty for some reason we can get my mom to double check on that because the reason why I was laughing during the Stanley Cup update was she texted me the song White Flag by uh Dow or ditto that’s the song about surrendering with the because she’s listening right now so yeah she can double check out to Mama Mama Hill um by the way inning over nice catch at short for for UNCC a little low uh slicing line minor uh so the bottom of the eth coming up North Carolina with six more outs they need to get at least two more runs to force extras um where was I going with this oh there there’s a weird movie about the bills eating bad scallops and then they had to get replacement players to go play It’s Like The Replacements but I think a lesser version but I want to say Doug flu’s in it um but you deal with Tennessee when you get there right all you can do is is do everything you can to win tonight to win today and then deal with whatever comes up next next right and and that’s an athletes mentality you wake up tomorrow you deal with what’s in front of you right now you just have to win this game to you know stay alive uh but again middle eighth North Carolina coming up 75 Florida State over North Carolina do up denafo vaner bre and Stevenson that is the four five and six hitters for North Carolina uh let’s get to number one go one earlier today the canes named Eric tolsky their GM he had already been operating as their interim GM for roughly 23 days he now gets to knock off that interim off his business card his LinkedIn update his Twitter bio and just say KES GM he’ll have his introductory press conference tomorrow this could signify right I’ve been talking a lot about how uh Eric tolsky Nice higher right I like to see the promotion from within keeps some like the canes obviously are one of the better teams in the league so you don’t want to completely shake things up but it could be a sign signifier that they’re going even further into the numbers side of the game right there are certain teams and this happens more in baseball but it’s starting to happen more in other sports as well uh there are certain teams that are just known for they Embrace analytics right they embrace the numbers they go sure I like what you’re telling me can you show me on a calculator uh show your if you will right remember those in in high school what’s the answer 16 how did you get it show your work like oh man I scrubble some things down uh the Rays actually ironically with the durm bulls their affiliate they are seen as an analytics team right I used to say they could manage with a binder right they’re not sitting there deciding is this pitcher ready to be taken out of the game they’re sitting there plugging in his last five fast balls have averaged 90 9 6.3 milph uh he has seen this batter three times he last time he pitched was on Tuesday that’s four days ago plug it all in go to the bullpen he he needs to be taken out like that’s kind of how they manag they’re just an analytics group of of thinkers the canes are already leaning that way right you can see with how they draft they’re one of the better drafters in the in the league uh they they they see analytics as a valuable uh aspect of their their team managing and evaluation process toski is one of those guys tolsky let me actually bring it up because the team tweeted it out kind of bragging about their dude they did in such a unique way too it’s almost like a LinkedIn application page that they did it so he has a PHD in chemistry from Cal Berkeley he also has a degree from Harvard in chemistry and physics oh look another horv guy he has 20 s patents including electrolyte separators including lithium borohydride and composite separators of lithium stuffed garnet and lithium borohydride that is just one of 27 patents this guy holds it is hard to look at that and not think oh they’re going all the way in to the numbers the spreadsheets and managing the team that way is that what took this so long he was racking up still some of those some accolades before he was named the Permanent General Manager it’s like before I I settle down to a life of hockey can I just go I just want to hammer out a few more patent applications uh and and make sure that I I have these fully Linked In he was a from August 2013 to June 2015 which by the way he was also a consultant for the hurricanes during the last year of that he was a principal member of technical staff at quantumscape wow do I know what quantumscape is I was just about to say that sounds like a foreign language to me sounds smart to me sounds like something that would be like on the front of my like physics textbook it would say like you know physics 235 Quantum escape and I’d just go like not a class I want to take textbook sounds expensive um this could be a shift even further into the the numbers and the analytics kind of I don’t want to say governing but but impacting the decisions made by the Carolina Hurricanes because you know that’s what this guy does smart dude did I miss a home run oh nope no it was a double but I believe uh denafo lead all th so the the tying run is at the plate for UNCC in the bottom of the eighth inning with one out that been that was a band break the yes it was uh and the the runner is in scoring position out there on second base

kic David’s saying right now in the locker room this is way he has his head you’re going that way White Flag Dao Dao both my mom both my mom and Paul iander texted us dur or text me during that segment when we brought this up I thought you were playing this for UNC I’m like they still have three outs David think about that yeah maybe I should have played the night then and rally song yeah that’s what we we need go find a ninth inning rally song I don’t know what I don’t know what North Carolina’s ninth inning rally song is though what would Graham Hill make it you’re the you’re the Savant of the St do what we did for William peace right give me one second I don’t know if North Carolina wants to be copying their athletic Traditions from William peace no disrespect to the Pacers I no I I came up with the playlist for the baseball team all right I had some bangers up there right uh Florida State leads nine to five so that North Carolina has their work cut out for them but they have three outs right bottom of the ninth you’re coming up on base or coming up ready to play this is this is the rally song this is the one that gets him there mad Madera is gonna be at the plate that’s that’s where it gets going all right North Carolina you heard it from Graham Hill this music is going to get you going uh do you know what is either perfect or completely unfair Make Some Noise sorry I couldn’t help myself Madera is up up to bat now he is the eighth hole hitter then there’s Wilkerson he’s in the nine hole don’t tell me then it comes up to Honeycut I as soon as I saw him go wait here we go you just hope you I mean this is in all seriousness um obviously if they’re going to get a rally going they’re going to need base runners probably on base before honey cut comes up so but the thing I would be terrified of if is honey cut coming up with two outs and somehow the Game ending on a on a honey cut at bat when there’s nobody that is less deserving of the season ending with one of their at bats than Vance Honeycut because of how many times he’s kept their season alive or at times he’s been the the driver all you can turn this this rally music off what is this although if all of a sudden there’s like an out here we’ll put it right back on um Honeycut has three hits and four at bats three RB a home run and uh let’s see what else he has here I mean he’s come on I mean what was it two two runs scored be pretty darn good what was it the seventh when he got thrown out at second base when he got caught Ste he get caught stealing as soon as he went back into the dug out I kind of thought to myself just L where have I seen this story before it will definitely come back in the bottom of the nth this is going to be hard oh they got a man on base they got a man on base lead off walk now they just need three more and then Advance honey oh they’re they’re up Flor State’s head coach is on the walkie all right we we’ll we’ll do our best to talk about something else but if anything of note happens we will keep you as updated as you possibly can be um Eric toski was named the GM of the Carolina Hurricanes today uh I thought it would be fun if we in real time came up with like a to-do list okay the first things you’ve kicked the interim tag you’ve celebrated right I assume there’s there’s you know letting your family know maybe a nice dinner I am now one of a handful of I mean there’s really not that many general managers in the NHL right so you’re one of them get a nice meal toast have a drink right go to the Angus born do what you got to do right I’m sure there’s a nice little pay bump that comes with it enjoy it then you got to go to work and and there’s things like uh extending Seth Jarvis to a long-term deal there’s things like getting Jacob slaven agreed upon so as soon as he’s eligible which is coming up in a couple weeks you’ll have a long-term deal things like uh get ready for the draft which is in 10 days right things like um figuring out what you want to do with Martin NES are you going to trade him if not start building the bridge so it’s okay for him to come back cuz obviously there’s some weird feelings between the team and the player if you’re going to trade him what do you want right put your vision board somewhere do you want uh defenseman do you want a centerman would you take a Winger do you want a goalie what are you doing in goal like all of this now are the times to make those decisions right Walt Ruff team reporter for the canes put out an article about P coov made me feel like it’s peer time yeah set in stone can it be peer time with Freddy on the roster Eric tski that’s one of the things that I think is is going to be a big like I still need tski to prove that to me because we know he’s good with the numbers I’ve talked about it a bunch but is he good with talking to two guys and figuring out if they’re okay in in the the the locker room right Freddy’s been the guy P’s been his backup can they coexist in the locker room if that flips because there are certain guys that just can’t right there are certain individuals that just it’s like no I’m a starter or I’m going to be an issue or I’m going to be bad vibes not saying Freddy is that way or isn’t that way I’m just saying that it’s part of managing a roster looking at people in the eyes and figuring out what type of person they are in the situation you’re about to put them in so if P’s that dude how does that affect the the team as a whole H we almost just saw a Carolina season come to an end right there no that’s just one out yeah that’s just one out so Chopper to Third Base could I thought it was two outs already could could have been a uh Chopper to Third Base could have been a double play with the runner on first instead they just got the lead runner runner on first base and who’s at bat but one should be honey cut and how appropriate he comes to the plate He’s Got Dirt front of his jersey back of his jersey down both legs we got the the rally music going uh Honeycut has just he’s done everything for this team from the beginning of the season right he’s going to be a first round draft pick uh and if he’s you know projected to be like the 20s of picks if he’s not you know mid first round I have no idea what’s going on um has the most home runs is the the the broadcast shows us most home runs by any player in the college baseball World Series six in total uh I’m glad that there’s a runner on base but if he hits into a double play I’m going to feel awful and I don’t know why I’m putting that energy into the world let me reel it back in if he hits a home run it’s going to be awesome yeah how about we say that uh but it is nine to5 for those of you just tuning in we’re not doing play byplay but we’ll keep you updated 9 to5 Florida State over North Carolina bottom of the 9th one out runner on and Vance Honeycut is at the plate uh for North Carolina NC State was eliminated yesterday few minutes earlier than this uh and uh against Florida and now North Carolina the only difference is you’re moving the states yeah right you take the the state from Florida put it over on NC State you have yesterday’s matchup we we might run out of time here by the way on the end of our show we might have to leave you in the dark which would be a real bummer Jay gensel signing for uh Eric tosky can that be the big the big is that really happening no no no oh sorry sorry I I was trying I apologies everybody I was trying to get I thought you just most casually dropped in like the craziest report that would be me not even to hit the breaking news by the way ER tski signing with with the the the canes what how crazy would that the day he gets hired or the day he’s named Permanent General Manager finally I have the power to do it $1 million a year Jake gensel oh and there goes Vance strike out are you ahead of me yeah no there two you no there’s two outs there’s two outs okay so Vance honey cut struck out and the next batter is already up there is also a left-handed batter all right I was very confused there for a second um we are getting near the end of the show so we’ll just have to direct you you can you can follow the game if if it’s continuing um but also please subscribe to our YouTube I know this this last minute and a half has been kind of boring

into overdrive all highlights no filler as we run it back from the drive with Tim [Music] Donnelly on the heaster Automotive Group hotline we have Dave Doran NC State head football coach taking us through the off season uh coach thank you very much for for taking the time to jump on the phones with us um you’re welcome I have to ask 2024 State as a whole has been kind of on a heater couple of final fours we just saw the baseball team make it to Omaha added pressure to keep it rolling in the fall no no we’re excited for the other teams and excited for our program you know we we had great momentum coming out of the the final uh five games of our regular season and really proud of the men’s and women’s basketball teams and uh coach Avent and the baseball team they’ve had a great ride as well trying trying to build off of that that run late last season uh the transfer class has been one of the the topics of the off season um quarterback multiple wide receivers multiple running backs tight end multiple offensive linemen the offense seems to be pretty shaken up uh have have have they surprised you at all since they got on campus or are they exactly kind of you know what you ordered out of the portal yeah I think uh we’re definitely happy with uh the guys that have joined the team and was fun to be with them in the offseason and helped get better and see what they can do in the spring I think our spring game really showcased a lot of the offensive Playmakers uh with the first group anyway and defens we’ve added some pieces here in the second portal window to help that side of the ball so we’re excited about you know the young guys coming in and the older guys that have joined and now it’s just kinding of getting them all the Jael Dave Dorne NC State head football coach joining us on the heaster Automotive Group hotline coach so much starts with the quarterback and and you’ve gotten pretty good at kind of uh you know working different guys in and molding the offense around it with with an off seon with Grayson McCall kind of working with coach and I how do you expect the version of this year’s offense to look yeah I mean I think that’s what coach and I is known for you know he understands how to make things happen through the skill sets of his players and evolving the system each year um based on that what the quarterback’s good at what the oine can do in the Run game you know what is your skill and where where are The Playmakers and how do you feature them and get them the football and it’s no different this year Grayson a proven winner a three-time conference Player of the Year at his former school and gu that comes in here with a big chip on his shoulder that um is a tremendous leader so we’re excited you know that we have Grayson Mcall here and players around him that’ll help him that that chip on the shoulder is funny right I I I played at the FCS level so I know uh you know when you’re you’re looking at that level above right for him from group of five to to power five you kind of hold the chip against like everyone at that level that didn’t recognize your your awesomeness right uh does that chip on the shoulder like is part of it trying to prove almost to to somebody like you was in the area recruiting and and maybe let him slip through the fingers to a to a group of five school I think the whole ACC you know in general he he’s a North Carolinian um from Charlotte and you know played in an option offense in high school and uh the guys at Coastal uh gave him a shot he took advantage of his opportunity and now he’s got a shot here to do the same thing and he definitely has something to prove um it’s really not to me it’s I think more of this is to himself but but also the value you get out of doing something that people didn’t think he could do and that’s always been something uh I know as an individual and coaching guys on our team you know when you can go out and show that you are who you say you are it’s a big deal we’re talking with Dave Dorne the head coach of NC State football taking us through the off season coach I know you aren’t much for for outside noise but we’ve also seen you call out some haters in the past uh seems like the the expectations and the hype uh at least from where we sit are are pretty positive right the hype is kind of rising how do you deal with that side of things when maybe players are are reading headlines or social media or all the things that coaches don’t like to deal with are are getting in their ear uh you just try to stay in the moment you know I mean all those things are great
