This is the Adam Gold show Adam gold show. I have heard yesterday. Yes, Tommy trumpet stomach appeared to be silly from becoming I know that event is gone Friday.

You have survived the week have way not there yet almost all the way there. Speaking of Tommy, or Demeter. Did you know that tops is I think it's 48 of 48 card run, but it might be less.

He is getting his own baseball card Jim Tom trumpet yes he is getting a baseball card I that's awesome nice absolutely. But remember the hurricanes equipment guide your jobs. When he got in for those 17 seconds was in Tampa sounds about right. Think it was in Tampa. See plate 17 seconds of the game. He's in hockey reference.com jockey – reference.com he's got his own page ID did not allow a goal did not face a shot in 17 seconds of action, but he is he is there a clean sheet clean sheet.

If you will eat. I have two George always hockey cards dear.

LOL he has a bunch to do so only I would our groups could offer them. One goes like a plan. So they they made some George all starts, which is been absolutely very cool how many David Ayres cards are there out there. I'm sure there there should be together for addition. This should be a David Ayres card or many, many, David.

He's got a hockey reference as you win. Yeah that is a freaking wind that is absolutely awesome when percentage in history so that is all that is inspiring music to begin the program. We have a lot of things to do. Fridays are always busy and I think you and I feel the same way Dennis that last night college football reacted last night college football got a started and we thank them for the background for not always pretty, just as it quarterbacks don't always know where to throw the ball receivers that always catch it that happens in the L2 but with greater frequency in the college game. We have physical errors but if you are looking for sport with drama, intrigue, storylines the drama and injury part. We as we separate Alabama and Ohio State. There's not a lot of drama and intrigue with them unless were talking about's from within. If there's a quarterback battle or not. Those are the two best teams in college football.

Alabama's and I been a huge favorite right now to win the national championship and I like personally I think Ohio State is right there with them, but Alabama is loaded with pros.

They both are but Alabama again is just absolutely loaded with pros, but if you're looking for drama and intrigue. This is the sport for you right, at least in North America. The digits there's just that I've always argued this which really can contradict what I just said that. I'll bet you right now if we went and tried to predict the outcome of every college football game on the schedule. We could probably get 80% of them right today about knocking to try the exercise or just picking a winner. We could probably get 80% of them right today be one heck of a parlor you don't get anything for 80%. That is a you could you parlay the entire Alabama sees you and you and you absolutely could or the entire Ohio State sees you absolutely could be like Ohio State as famous for the country right there. 17 point underdog and Ohio State. Tonight, or rather tomorrow morning set top five team at least, so the polls feel anyway. We celebrate college football being back in full.

Forget about week zero it what it is what it is.

Now it's back tons of great matchups to start with what we haven't seen in a while. I was so ready for the go ACC you all s that last night at about.

Otto took too long, like 11 o'clock get more reviews in college football. Now, just more.

I want the review of the review in college football. Did we have 40 in the fourth quarter last night of fit West Virginia at least 37 it was staggering. It was staggering how bad flow. There was no flow of the game. I don't know how they played it was it was dreadful but at least the game when they bothered to play was dramatic.

Pittsburgh probably should've lost to West Virginia probably should've lost the game to West Virginia first renewal of the backyard brawl 11 years. It was at one of the calling that stadium now. If not, Heinz Field anymore. We ran I catch up after sure okay whatever you say pit wins at 3831 winning points gifted by an interception that was returned for a touchdown that should've easily been about a 15 yard gain for a first down as West Virginia looked to me like they were just to drive down the field and retake the lead because pit had trailed 3124 I will get to get back to this point right now question Neil Brown what the hell were you doing 610 to go length of the football roughly 4th and one plus territory 610 left.

Keep the ball you got it Jordan 50,000 pound running back who is absolutely killing it. Handed the ball they took a delay of game and then punted and picture of Dunfield instrumentals like there were some harrowing moments on the drive and almost look like West Virginia was to guess right but what you trying to make only a football game. You pick up the first down. You can run at work, you can run another 2 1/2 maybe three minutes off the clock.

Even if you'll pick up another first down, but now you're just making it more difficult for pit just making it that much more difficult.

What an app Neil Brown man when you go for it was the name of the Lord after way to go for it again. Brown coward. I was fully prepared for an early-season go hashtag go ACC moment with six minutes West Virginia to me was the better team fits defensive line finally did come through the we had other.

I thought Wake Forest love VMI which is really what they were supposed to do was 4410 more than 500 yards of offense for the Demon deacons wake covered. It was a 33 point spread. Okay, you know, I didn't see a set because it was an FBS FCS matchup but yet there they were, of a big favorite of the game and there is no Sam Hartman, Mitch Griffiths was very good, 21, 29, 288 yards, three touchdowns, they ran the ball effectively. They spread it around with a bunch of different wide receivers and tight ends and wakes defense did what they were supposed to do against the key debts. The only real blemish was the long touchdown pass fail out. That's it. Other than that there was a lot for believing that pass was almost half of VMI's total passing yards so there would mean that that game was exactly what it was designed for wake uneasy with and that's okay if you're awake and I've always argued this. If you're awake, I'm not try to disparage the program. If your Duke schedule, so some wins in the nonconference of the wake is above that week is probably better than that. That probably they are better than that as a football program so good for the Demon deacons because it'll it'll get a little bit more real. As we get further into the season. Oklahoma State had a big lead then let central Michigan score 3 touchdowns late to make it close like I don't think they were favored by that much. I think it was only like a 12 that was the ranking 12. I don't think what the line was but it got close 5844 I think was the final Penn State scored with less than a minute to play to overcome Purdue on the road, 35, 31, boilermakers had the lead in the fourth quarter thanks to their own pick six yeah horrifically overthrown pass my Penn State quarterback.

I ate 9 yards overthrown and then an easy return touchdown Tennessee one big my five team parlay should be dead because Penn State and pit were probably both second-best in their game, but they both won, so all I need is Virginia Tech to win at Old Dominion tonight is much as I want Virginia Tech to win the game. I don't deserve to win that parlay based based on what happened yesterday so so there you go. Duke host Temple tonight. Go blue Devils go blue Devils don't let us down will why we have talked a lot about state striptease Carolina UNC stripped at their two themes that, in my opinion are the overriding themes for this game and one deals with the road team.

The other deals. The Humpty to deal with the UNC app game first like North Carolina. I think will be good.

I don't know how good they will be, but I think they will be good.

We know they're going to have a good offense.

It does appear that their defense will have some struggles, which is something that I believe were all use to hear right used to that they've always been a pretty good offense of team and their defense is not always been right and I don't believe that this defense will be great, but this to me about trying to place it all on app but there comes a time in a program you're the you're the little guy theoretically, but this is a moment for you. This is an opportunity to on your field hand loss, you're still the underdog. Even though frankly I think these are two very evenly matched teams, but this is an opportunity for you to take a big bite and it won't it will not be a surprise When in Chapel Hill A Few Years Ago in the Eli Drink.

What's One Year Era That Was a Surprise That Wasn't a Big Upset Win on the Road. This Will Not Be a Surprise, and I Believe That Programs When You Get to This Level.

When You Are in This Situation.

This Is the True Measure of Where You Are Is a Program I'm Not Saying App Is Significantly Better Than UNC Item. I'm Not Even for That. They're Better Than UNC but This Is a Tossup.

If You Are at This Is on You. I Think This Game Is Is Is Apps Apps to Win or Lose. I Think This Game Is on the Carolinas to Be Right There at the End with a Chance to Win but I Cannot Wait to Watch. Now the Other State Striptease Carolina Working to Get into This a Little Bit More in Depth in a Moment.

There Were Actually in Our Next Segment. To Me This Is about Expectations and This Is Where I Would Love to Hear Feedback from State Fans. What Are Your Expectations for This Team. Like I Don't Believe There Were National Championship Contender. They're Not That Level. But As We Have Talked about A Lot and I Think What Most People Believe Surrounding College Football Is That We Have Tears of Teams There Are the Top Two Ohio State and Alabama in Whatever Order Doesn't Matter. There's Georgia Right behind Alabama and Ohio State and Then the Next Tier I Don't Know. I Don't Know Who It Is and Nobody Really Does.

We Might Have Some Guesses It's Easy to Fall Back on Clemson. It Sees Some People Still Think Michigan Is There Maybe Baby Coming Michigan. I Don't Know but There Are Probably Anywhere from Notre Dame 715 Teams That Could Lay Claim to Number Two Spot Number Four Can State Be One of Those Things.

I Don't Know. I Believe It Is about Approach. As Much As Anything Else.

I Believe It Is about Approach. Are You Can Go for You to Try and Be That Team Is I Think State We Know Their Defense, Back Is Great and We Know Their Offense Has a Great Quarterback.

A Lot Of the Other Things Are Kind of Unknowns but Now Let's Get Back to the Game That We Saw Last Night the Pittsburgh West Virginia Game Because after the Game I Was Watching SportsCenter.

I Was Watching SportsCenter and They Had Pat nor Daisy. I Would Scott Van Pelt and I Be Blessed Pat nor Disease, Heart, but He Has a Chip on His Shoulder Already Good for Him and I Think Pat Had Some Thoughts about the Worldwide Leader Information Stood out 75% Set up on You for Sure. I Was Certainly All Here Today Appreciate You It Was so Awesome Ripping ESPN I Hear Anybody Say That but I Don't Devour These Types of This Type of Coverage so It Was It Was Funny. I Thought Scott Handled It Beautifully. Man, I Appreciate the Passion yet Right Doesn't Let Me What You Say about That Regard. You Defend Me and I'm Sure Whether He Heard It He Perceived It and That's Fine but Our Duty Was All Steamed up. I Think Pit Is Interesting Look at the End of the Game. Their Defensive Line Certainly Showed That Was Very Cool Golden Studio Them on the Road with Capital Financial Advisory Group.

I Big Deal Tonight in New York, USA Today Joining Us on the Adam Gold Show in or Headed to the National Tennis Center for the Serena Williams to Show Again for the Fourth Time in Five Nights in Prime Time Just Your Quick Thoughts on Just to Show That We Have Seen so Far Higher Grand Slam That Reality Right Now, Everybody Is Doing Now. The Last Ride I Don't Know What Somebody the Product of an Athlete Is You. You Know the Last Time Out Of Desperation or Homework That Her Nose As Far As Possible, and I Think It's Not out There yet What I'm Proud of You Getting behind Employers.

I'm Sure the Players Intimidating for the Second Seed and a Ton of It All. I Thought Played Very Well. That Match Looked Very Much like We Might See Late in the Second Week, but It Was Because I Thought, but Played Really Really Well Then Serena Serve Late When She Needed It Kind of Took over, Although She Had Some Nervous Parts of That. It Was Funny. I Was Wondering If You Thought about This As Well, but Monday Night I Felt like They Didn't Feel like She Was Going to Go Very Far and They Laid It on Very Thick with with the Ceremony. After the Opening When I Thought, What, What's Next What They Have Left Apparently Didn't Have Any Thing Left like You're Getting It Out Of the Way. I Don't Know Either. The Next Day or Not.

You Don't Know. I Think She Can Every Match for so by the Ceremony and Move on. You Have This Opportunity. Sad to Do the Normal Walk Talk about Her and She Is One of the so As You like with a Good but Yeah A Lot Longer.

All the Seated Players in Her Little Part of the Drawer Gone. She Will Face a CD Player As Long As She Continues to Win in the Quarterfinals but What Is Timely on a Village Unopposed for Her. I Think I Saw on twitter@danwilkin.com Dan will get on twitter that we have essentially somebody you just it's with a lot of face and stays the baseline so not a lot of variety for Serena to deal with power not going to be somebody who's bitter or right right you utilize slight writing drop shot, the straightforward match which I think is one somebody to talk all you want slight low side. Ductwork is more complicated in terms of just are doubtful or down the middle so that you serving well you know I think she's probably the favor to two quick things. The formula Dan will can go to the National tennis Center for Serena's latest night match and I will.

That's what I want to go like normally you plan night match will make you play in the afternoon.

It doesn't look like the netlike USTA is going to do that with Serena that they're going to give her the night matches all the time, which is great for television but maybe not the fairest thing because the weather is better that humidity is a little lower the heat is obviously less. This is tailor-made for her as long as she keeps winning. Is there an unfairness about all players were all influenced when I make sessions of the premier matches the people want to see that ticket ticket and so giving that slot that I will see him someday a lot of television sometimes ESPN on Sunday night a marquee matchup sometimes better Sunday afternoon so she went night with what were they soccer on Sunday but yeah I don't really put much green.

It's definitely probably culture you match but she's on Dan Logan appreciate your time and enjoy the matches should be an absolute blast tonight at the National tennis Center. Thanks again will talk soon.

Here's here's what you you don't watch it so Tiger Woods at the Massey yeah and it's been star-studded. Spike Lee is trying to out dress himself every single of every other night will be interesting to see what what spikes got on tonight but the Tiger part of this does take me back to the Masters in 2019.

Now, Tiger didn't have an amazing first round. He wasn't wasn't like in the top 10, but from the second round on Tiger was on the fringe is only a couple shots back so he was right there, but maybe crazy, but I never thought the Tiger was going to win that tournament until we got like the middle of the fourth round Sunday around like wait a second. There were a bunch of players just a couple shots to maybe three shots at but then all of a sudden he went oh. These guys are all fall apart and Mr. Woods isn't yeah like he's just got this stick around and let everybody screwed up and that's what happened like four guys haven't hit the ball the water on the 12th so I'm not saying Serena can win this tournament because I don't believe she can, but I do believe that she's going to scare some people and she might intimidate her way into the quarterfinals and she said yesterday or two days ago that she's playing free. There are no expectations. That's a dangerous spot for somebody like Serena Williams get. I don't think physically and I think Dan said this physically. It's can be hard when seven matches yeah right. It actually probably helps her that her and her sister Lawson doubles last night. Probably they were clearly second best on the court last night. Clearly second best in the court June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the Senate by the Carolina listen to the calm before the storm of the first real big weekend of the college football season started last night as pit almost go ACC their way into an early hole and early disappointing loss but they one they somehow managed to be gifted to win by West Virginia and thank you Kelly releasing mountaineers coach Neil Brown for refusing to win like I'm trying to think who used to do this. Thank you for not coaching. I think it was Bill Connolly had wrote these things on ESPN phone I would be wrong that could be somebody else that deserves the credit for that.

I think it was book. Thank you for not coaching Neil Brown, what were you doing afoot from a first down with six minutes to go in the fourth quarter and a touchdown, lead and plus territory angles okay. I will file that right so I hope given the same situation. Dave Doran will go for it and that's where I am here I am in a it. It depends on what you're view is of NC states season, what, what are the what are your expectations. What are the possibilities for the Wolfpack because they were simply talking about then you can take a conservative approach and that's fine but I think that's the baseline I think anything short of 10 wins for this team probably means there were injuries and it also probably means they can get the most out of it. This is the opportunity like this to me is different uses Frazier to Patterson and want to take some phone calls her number 92 05326 if you play it close to play it conservatively and probably get a win, not attempt to define but I think the approach is the difference between when a nine or 10, or maybe winning 11 or 12 and really really setting the bar for NC State football number 92 05326 Mike from South city was going on. Mike will agree with our right greatly right now I'm in dollars, but I know now we can look good if we get we don't.

I'm not lonely on the goals of our right that we are working John want you now that you make your I'm not sure about how you get that we have a shot at that number four spot right now. I think that's the third tier because I don't think George is with Alabama and Ohio State. I think Georgia is a clear number three, but that's fine. Even if we put George in the in the first year and you got a bunch of teams competing for that four spot and I don't even know in my mind if I see NC state as really a player for number four but… But all it takes. But here's the thing is that all it takes is the great year is the dream season and then somebody's going to have to be fourth and NC state should be for no in their nonconference October 1 in death Valley.

I'm not saying it's the season because it really depends on what happens before and after, but that will tell us if they have if they have a chance to be number four and think they can get there. I think that this is an important week for for setting the tone and having a mindset of we are going to go for it and that's what I want to see how this got and I along.

I'm not going about going to an old Mike that I appreciate appreciate the phone call.

Stay well outside the city. Here's the thing about this, I would like.

I realize that this is a very very tall.

Ask for me. I would like to eliminate the past, I would like to eliminate NC state stuff I would like to. This is how we've got. I would like to eliminate all of those things because if we don't if we if we do eliminate that mindset. Those like at some point we move on and I'll use this analogy. This is not a golf analogy. It used to be that the Red Sox could not win as good as they would have great years, but ultimately were not going.

The Red Sox no longer are that team there no longer that franchise because they have one for World Series since 2004, so it's no longer a franchise that well that's the Red Sox for you know they are team that expects to win, and in many respects, they have left that old mindset alone. I think it's time for NC State believe that in will see what happens. I think they I think a lot of it is how you approach these games of all but ask one more question about the Wolfpack in a second. First, Chris from Clayton was going up. I yelled my clear expectations of the foreigner going I'm going their nonconference going in the Valley undefeated amine. Last year we had a depleted defense with Fagan. Wilson going down and claimed in claim first requires where I was so good though amine clarifications should be for no going in death Valley and Main Clinton knowledge good about it for? Which quarterback is to be going to write my quarterback.

My no matter how good our defense projected amine matter and mean yes we move past the Moffat of the sentence that these types of things they they this self self prophecy like we did. We talk ourselves into like the whole notion that will states always better when things are when expectations are lower.

Why doesn't make any sense to me. The teams are always different. Every year there's a day to different team that this is a lot more similar to last year's team. There are so many familiar faces and names and their all their older, more experienced, so I appreciate your call.

Let me get to Xavier from Raleigh hope I did the right of either Xavier or Javier J Alexander III didn't even get the second option right or 14 all their did we lose Xavier. First of all, I do think he's I think I do think it's a stable disc.

I think obesity. I don't think it's a given right daddy Ficklin's a hard place to play out the given text text given to ECU 409 think nothing is given a Texas taking a given you nothing is given. I do expect the Wolfpack to before, but I will not be shocked if there three and one what I will be is what I will be is sort of okay that's just what this is, which is why I've said this before that there's all there's only been one season when NC state has maxed out their window that was the pandemic when they went seven and three. They didn't win any spectacular games, but they didn't lose any games that they should've won that report that has been this program that has been there. The Achilles has been, there's always been a win sometimes to that year we should add that they have to avoid that they have to get away from that. If they do that this year. Then there are mean there's a handful games that are what we would consider tossup's. I think they close the season with two games on the road. I think it's Louisville and then Carolina right of the two road games. Those are both to be really really hard games to win North Carolina. Tina stated maker to be easy and Louisville I think to be sneaky. Good is actually very important game tonight. I know it's an ACC game. It's Louisville at Syracuse but if the ACC is going to be good thought of as good this year. Louisville has to be part of the good and that means winning at Syracuse who is going to have at the very least a great running game – I think it probably will have a good defense but Billy Cunningham is a dynamic player and we will want to see him play well at all that but it's it's important for NC state to kinda shake all of the old expectations and max out and I don't even think 10 is max. No, I think 10 is the base attending to regular season will be okay is what they should. That's not me out of whatever I think tenancy would be okay, that's good, that's good, but even though they've never done it. At least without excessive FCS games.

I'm not sure I would look at tenant to as a great season and real quick about this and all will just expand that on the other side for second as I heard this conversation that a loss doesn't ruin a loss tomorrow doesn't ruin NC state sees I will tell you when we come back why it does next. You believe that this program return of minute tapes is today where we go through rapid viral game and we sort of divide amended between us and give takes on games. I cannot wait always been fun during the course of the football season and that's really what it's about folding some other sports. Other games here and there, but it's going to be mostly college football will give takes on college football game expected feel course, the real football we have to talk about the amount of money spent yesterday at some point today, but I asked the question, and we also have interventions which were going to get to some tweets that came my way that are worth discussing like I did say I did ask the question or I've heard this conversation that a loss to East Carolina would not ruin NC state season and here's why. That is, in my opinion, absolutely false.

Not only would a loss to ECU completely spoil the rest of the season in terms of national aspiration like there's no path back after state.

If state loses at East Carolina light.

Again, this is not disparaging ECU. But here's why it ruins the season even if state somehow goes unlimited know the rest of the way because at some point as you're doing that you had to go. How the hell did we lose in week one.

Remember what happened when Carolina lost their opener and then one out member yet, there were two FCS games and there, but remember that there was like while they can't go to the playoff. There was a legitimate debate whether or not Carolina deserved to be a playoff team.

After waiting 11 games in a row. They were 11 and one after the opening loss to South Carolina South Carolina one that good. There were 11 one and the legitimate debate was well you know they should know so they get in a way that loss may be at help them, but it also ruined their season. I think this game will be an indication as much as anything really do for the Wolfpack hope they play well. Hope these Carolina plays well. I hope it's a great football game.

I want to see NC state let Devin Larry Cook right, don't.

Don't be concerned but let Devin Larry go and do his thing.

All right now let's go in the mentions I was a little light my own on social media this week so almost all of my responses on social media had something to do with live golf so Harold Warner was one of the players to go right and NC beach bound responded. I talked about Varner going and why I I respected what he said about the reasons for him going and NC beach bounces.

I am disappointed to see Varner make the move in what way I am disappointed to see Varner make the move. Put it another way, I am totally on board with why he made the move like that was open about it was about financial security for ever. He's like, so he grew up. No would not a lot so right, so he'd he didn't have. He was in a country you don't country club kid.

It wasn't somebody who's dad was the bad pro somewhere. It wasn't that a lot of these guys grow up and therein upper-middle-class to wealthy families so they have access to a lot of teaching and a lot of a lot of coaching and a lot of opportunity to play that wasn't born so I get that the money is the most important thing I can totally respect what Varner is doing as opposed to cam Smith totally respect I get one disappointed. I understand why Varner did it and I got no problem.

I really mean you go to live, that's fine.

I that's okay by me that Joe tweeted out to me or just in general, watching what Liv is doing should be an eye-opener for other pro sports.

They are can contracting the players with assessed worth and giving them opportunities to earn more all right, here's where we have to correct behavior. If you assign any value and meaning to what Liv is doing that is the mistake Liv is not a business model live is only only a disrupter is not trying to do anything other than take players from the PGA Tour. That's it. So it's trying to do. They might be successful. I don't know, but the amount of money they're paying. Even if they had a TV contract and sponsors that is outrageous in terms of the amounts it's just not a business model don't assign any real meaning to what Liv is doing just don't again. I got no problem if you're going these guys are getting paid and I get everybody's got a price. Everybody's got a price, but that's not a business but this is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
