  • UNC Podcast - Just Fantastic

    Just listened to the podcast with Wes Durham and my only wish is that it was about 3 hours longer. So many terrific nuggets of info regarding the upcoming football season as well as UNC football history (I had no clue Lawrence Taylor was originally a nose tackle hence the #98). Terrific work by Joey and Tommy. If you’re looking for a legit #UNC podcast…this is the one.

  • Why is Joey Powell employed by Inside Carolina?

    Joey is that guy that doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Not self aware.

    Need more Tommy.
