Evaluating Baker Mayfield with the Carolina Panthers; Rod Brind'Amour

Financial capital financial USA.com.

This is the gold shell standby that that is God's trading for a mediocre quarterback.

I standby is not big. That is not Cain's wooden game seven. That is not a whole if a retirement we we need to get goaded here and get the official list of things that he Mr. big on vacation, and see where Baker may feel betrayed is that there is free for the conventional room for tropic research that could become a fourth-round.

Yeah very well might depending on who you think the starter is going to be. I hear some people saying different things about it. We'll talk about*hurt Carolina bloods about it. Also asked her for the fan reaction. She has her finger still on the pulse. There the first. You know you know it when you play a sport all all sports have their own God's right.

This is religion. We got in for love and thunder a little bit what I was thinking how to do know that the great giant is is it is like Greek or Egyptian model God we got lots of God did at somebody the God of something out of the Roman God, the God of somebody got something right moon night in that tradition. There are sports God.

There are the soccer gods the baseball gods golf gods, whatever right in the golf gods do things like, you know, let's say you should've gotten another thing you yeah 4 foot putt you could you forgive because you play by yourself and you'll know right and so you but you know you miss it in your you know what to put myself down for apartments like no that's wrong right thing to do is I didn't get it because I didn't take a get me. I hit the pot I missed the pot and you put down your full score and on the next Holter part three you like sticking close to the whole fruit easy birdie because the golf God smiled on your honesty right so same in every sport and you can also make the golf gods Matt right you can you can either cheat or do something a mean on the course to be rude. You can bemoan a shot that you should be happy about it out of the golf gods Geico really think that's a bad shot like washer your budget. Read so I think I made the weather gods earlier this week when I did my silly little like you give your your weather forecast for every day the rest of the three-week babies we hear the rest of July it was wake up it's hot. If you are doing before you get one thing that's what you do before 7 AM to be about mid 90s by 2 o'clock Wednesday that would 5 o'clock and 66 inches of storms every afternoon right after about that that is the weather report when the weather is like okay really you want to mock us.

You think were unpredictable. How about we just take it up about four or 5° hotter than you thought it was good be you.

You think 90s is cute and triple digits on you yeah yesterday and even today.

It's one of those would you just walk outside and it's gross. It's so hot that I took my dogs for a walk and they just didn't like. Now they just know laying down nothing to do right there. I got this is not like we would better find a better place. Use the bathroom then no morale because that's not can happen for me that they just flat out that it's that it's so hot when you go inside you need a jacket for normal air-conditioned building because of things like 30° drop you off and I'm sure I is not too cold in the studio. My body is adjusting and so I have sleeves alone because I came of the outside it is ridiculously hot. It's so hot the only thing I could think of is the classic good morning Vietnam cuts with the late Robin Williams telling us how hot it is how hot weather out there today.

Talk with continued hot midafternoon tomorrow chance of continued crap. It was fun coming down from the north hotter than the snakes behind in a wagon. That's yes the weather out there lay is hot and that's what is yet to be, but we got shorts talk about it. We got a quarterback in town let's get this thing out of the gate in the open will talk to best about it about 10 minutes. But yes, the Carolina Panthers traded for Baker may feel betrayed.

The one point neither one of them was interested in one note. Then we go for long time. They were actually getting interested in it seem like the big things work out was to pay the money they finally worked it out for tropic but is conditional could be turned into a fourth-round pick based on how much Baker may feel good to play and that to me is been the question how much is Baker going to play yesterday we had Travis Hancock from W Lindsay down in Charlotte and he said no, absolutely, if you make this trade you bring Baker Mayfield and be the starter.

He started week one which happens to be against the Cleveland Browns right then I was logical. ESPN saw Jeff Saturday say amen. It's all about the money yet one guy making. I know it's Underwood's total salary added up is busy. One guy the painters are paying $6 million.

That's Baker Mayfield, the pay with six bit five just under 505, the salary, my bad, even less so yeah, it is our job to pay limitless and fatherly dollars of the salary or pay 18 or 19 is about that same Donald Jeff Saturday was like no man did you print more money to is your starting quarterback at least to start the season and I'll file that one in Vegas say right now Baker Mayfield -300 as the panther starter that might come back up in the play survey same Donald at +200 at the better start is really not not an overwhelming favorite, but a pretty significant favorite for Baker Mayfield to be the starter. I do think it's fair to look at Baker Mayfield stats much like we you know hyper examine cam Newton's last good season but was 2018.

If you go his pre-injury stats are not only good but like grade 2 excellent and then it's a question of what would you rather God do immediately pack it in with her and his team still plow contingent or traveling through just as game or whatever. I don't know what the right answer is. But at the time. Cam Newton try to play through it wasn't goodness that's got bad. That sounds kind of familiar to Baker Mayfield like two seasons ago really good stats in our know all the details exactly when he hurt his shoulder last year but I know that like he was dealing with a shoulder injury during the year was early evening. It was like, it's kind of know what route you go sit out and hope the team will still be good to tough it out and I think in and I don't know what is health status is to begin the pending physical status of the yes yes David handing physical is still pending.

Physical physical still pending yet so I assume the Baker Mayfield if healthy is the better quarterback in the better option. The interesting thing. Shouts were made to Patterson CBSSports drama the show yesterday to be this. He sent me the visit just one play sports betting.AG that adjusted its futures Cape before the Bayfield trade papers with the Super Bowl 125 to 1 when the NFC there were 50 will the one with the NFC South. There were 10 to 1. After the Baker Mayfield trade.

They were 130 towards with the Super Bowl up from 125, 235 got worse 60 to want it when you see it was a 50 to 111 to 128 SE South Jennifer yet how is that I was asking to pose like is it possible that, much like Dennis Cox on place your bets.

People were jumping on the what, then, was a better value line was about to go about get worse for the panther better for the vendors win wars interview.

What value the betting right after the start and that so that the money came in the lot adjusted and he was like not right now. It's more validity of the classic cliché if you got to quarterback she got no not another dog will be planned one who knows who would put anything past college coach Matt rule but to run out to quarterback system that we ran with Peter Walker gambling this year with a one game when it really looks good, gives first one back I was like why did we keep doing that we don't give another playbook, but we also know that short yardage guy like why anyway, whatever that the past. I don't think that rule will try to play both quarterbacks at the same time we got out of the view does. But even still, it seems like the oddsmakers are going with the well if you got to quarterbacks that could be a problem whereas if the team unites as well. No matter how good Sam daughter Laura Baker Mayfield are if the team thinks he believes them as a starter and follow them and then good things happen. Start early on but maybe that can manifest metaphysically season, but if you got two guys fighting at a camp you know a short trigger when one of them is about half of the other. When you get put in that type of thing maybe makes the team even worse will get will talk fast about that. Keisha Johnson you judge it will and Max on the mornings and mornings of the color Keisha J. Will next.

T.J. Maxx always like that due to the T.J. Maxx. He said the Panthers better into the deal Carolina Panthers certainly got the best of this right to get a free look at me $4 million for Baker basic backup type quarterback if he beats out Sam he's a start. If he doesn't beat out Sam. Sam started he's the backup and that's the way to go so you know Cleveland knew at some point Baker Mayfield as a player want to get back on the football field to show his work and he would certainly take a pay cut to be able to do that and I think that is what got the deal done. I just thought if you did it.

Seattle was just seem like a better destination for me given the fact that the head coach in Seattle and Pete Carroll's. One was actually running the operation. Next up on getting out the gate.

The cane schedule is out outside Carolina hurricanes. Having Robert join us at about 2025 will ask him if he cares about the schedule have a hunch that he does you care about the schedule release that is God. I do we get to work. The games I work all 82 games in some capacity and sometimes in more ways than one landing on who's broadcast.

You are one of people to the schedule matters a lot to us. If you were just a fan. Would you care about it. As a fan, not not particular as a family if maybe if I had season tickets in Oslo.

Think of the 11 game package. I had picked my games and think yes I would care because there you can work on your daily life schedule lies in outside McDade's 82 games over 185 days. Whatever may be but I'm already certainly games. I will get what we circling game one.

We kick off looks like with the Florida Panthers or that the next that's the next assignment was actually going to buy bad the Wednesday home game against the Columbus.

As I see the star on that one. Yes October 12 we opened the season against the Columbus blue jackets at home and immediately go out west and not cut the classic like this one home games across the minutes. Sorry the fares in town jogging is terrible will be on the road yes and yes five games on the road with at 1030 start time in San Jose.

I see clusters of red meeting home games like February look like a lot of games in February by the home games in January like games general in January. Yes, what dates, what other dates are you circling most certainly February 18 the outdoor game at Carter Finley. Yes, that is a big one in the first on the Rangers actually come on that you know what I'm calling.

Calling it a favor before the game starts you give me tickets about what to the outdoor you can be a tough ticket and I don't like you to be intimately involved with the team and I just need to help me out with that guy I'll be. I know I get out of it.

Trust me, I'm a good person to have for having done the same as already. I will suggest trust me on this like I can be here.

I could be your cord guy that game I'll be your headphone dude, whatever. Like any credential at all. I'll be your production assistant just that I am in need your help getting back into your motherboard for me yet what no out run the board there yet they're not reservoir back you work the game lets him in the game actually working the game board and the board and they beats a little too much about me me there under the last four minutes.

I do like a no-show job like carrying equipment and I can do that okay for the game. I did get to drink beers and just do I hear any criminality that will be filed being good enough shape to drink beers. That's the game. Unless there's a fight that compels me to get on the ice could do. I know won't happen, but would be crazy if they they honor like NC State football season ticket for this.

I gave them only. How like a Thursday night eclipse in top 10 matchup NC State crowd get you that the dude on the pole wave. His shirt ever said people go to the bathroom in the stands because they don't want to take got to get the brakes on all the great stories of Carter Finley Lohr. We need to go down at the at the outdoor game. That's what I want to check out the schedule. Next up will talk about that hurt here in just a bit of a next up on getting out the gate is the say what yes.

Look, I told you people is not going to happen immediately, was waiting to see what shakes out the big 12. The packs will people are posturing people are making deals including there is discussion again remembering is the sagas the soap drop so soap drama the soap opera unfolds.

That is conference realignment. The newest thing that involve the ACC said yesterday the pack 12 is open opening. There negotiations for media rights immediately rights of the Dragon number to their teams and say what the distribution will be. So they're all in talks try to figure other media deal that video could include a deal with the ACC this year.

Some programming will talk some more about that a little bit later. Right now we want to go to Charlotte. One of the hardest working people in the North Carolina sport scene and was my favorite is vast. I heard your Lotta blitz fast I was going on. How are you I'm doing very well. Thanks so much for joining me and Rob see talking Baker Mayfield will get to some excellent nose on the football field stuff all you're on the screen and turn my focus here.

We got his high-tech studio in here now you been in here recently to make it up there being one of the upcoming college football game yes been in the city of what living where you work, you won't have time to cheer like you be going to another funeral. We cover like three games in one day so I start with this. I know you throw out you know how is everybody feeling books are based on your social media feed and just your it be to talk to people and talk of the fan base. What's needed your reaction to the fans reaction to the traits Baker Mayfield and I think that they exaggerated. Yet some guys who took the news, kind of, and strive a lot of people did not like it and had a negative view of the Baker Mayfield trade did you know let him go and say there. I don't think people think it is actually think it my be better than what people think it will be so you know I the fans were happy with it.

Were you happy but the majority of the fans that I saw their reactions were, you know you're getting the same thing the same or different different side of the same coin. But you know AMA workout I we got two sides of the coin, which one is the figure of the metaphor which side lands faceup on the week one. Starting is also good to say we don't traits Baker Mayfield unless is your starter. I saw some people say. Sam don't all this money he's the starter until he deludes the job you think is or anything should be the starter who do you think will be the starter. It neither one of these guys had a meeting that last year but not pepper but rule and have said they wanted to create competition at the quarterback and that's what they've done with two guys drafted first in third in the 2018 drafting like that you know people have been disrespected if I had to pick a week. One starter today I would say Peter Mayfield will probably bring more of an age to the team. Then Sam Donaldson seems to be a bit dry so I think that is his suit may align more with a cold or with cultural and coaching staff put together this season, but you know what will CME this should be a very interesting training. You never know exactly who's calling the shots 100%.

I was dating temporary see you know he's fire to soccer coaches pulled out of the construction jobs. We know you pull some strings. Some places but you don't know is not rule saying give me this quarterback works got fitters what is and let's go Baker Mayfield but it is you have the mind of if things don't work out well. This is what Baker Mayfield not rule era is is done in Carolina mackerel is on the hot seat that you know historically been a turnaround in year three, I think it's important to note that that was in college, you know that temporary would allow rule five years but with what three at least four can include cam Newton that but with retail quarterback. Experiments you know I feel like he is on the hot seat. David Tepper, Aldo know people have his gripes with him. He doesn't want to win any still a businessman and winning is lucrative and so if you don't have a winning product on the field and you're not maximizing his investment. I'm speaking in his term, so you know your coaches not putting together a winning product that have to live in another direction, but in all fairness, I do think Matt will deserves another season to try to get things back on track so we'll see what happens this year – I heard your Lotta blitz joining us it interesting thing is discussion.

I was home somebody regardless of who the starter is which one is better Baker Mayfield or Sam Donald that the having two of them is that you know both believe they probably could be starters could be a problem in the self or even don't matter which one is better if you only had one of the team said okay this is our quarterback. That then that would be okay situation or preferred situation to whoever goes out there starter if they have a bad first half. Are you automatically looking to the other guys on the bench whereas if it's even if either one of them and the other was not there bad first Avenue way value when given second-half goals and things look better.

So the bottom line. I'm asking you to fire this in your first answer, but I do, but I was more comparing the two quarterbacks but just ask you, did the Panthers get better by adding Baker Mayfield. I would say that they got better by adding Baker made ill.

I feel like you know I think that that front office and coaching staff feel like the competition will bring out the best in either player in the know the best guy for this team, but you know I can't see that they got considerately back, consider considerably better. The only difference between Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald. This attitude is important. I do think Sam Donald confidence is shot and I think that Baker Mayfield company is unwavering so you know that might be the small that one over the other. But you know the addition of vapor Mayfield automatically make Carolina a playoff team which is where I feel like they need to be in order to solidify Matt Rose job now – not heard your Lotta blitz.

Thank you, and join us.

Keep up the great work you follow on Twitter at your Lotta blitz appreciated. Thanks, fattening. She's always good to see. I agree with her, which he said 100% is a they certainly didn't get considerably better.

Perhaps it pushes one of these guys to be better but I do wonder if there is that we talked a lot of folks who played in the NFL and we will tell stories of dudes who are starting quarterbacks, even ones who are like Hall of Fame level and nobody's questioning their job, they still didn't want a like too good of a backup yeah just they wanted everyone in the room to say this is our God no matter what. If we lose two games in robe to discuss terrible we don't care this still the guy we believe it for 60 gave that because they need that level of like support to dudes bluff the job right.

I like big Peyton Manning never let the backup ever reps in practice. That is, these logos are, but he didn't want there to be a good quarterback Sean.

Sean came with the guys told us chunking it played been the starter for the Buccaneers. I think he got hurt Brad Johnson it up with the Super Bowl with them, but so would he was gifted to some of the Coldspring met it was like not want to do this like started to games in NFL seasons in a backup like I don't I don't need that and so it just makes you wonder, will there be if if you start making the switch. Deftly make a switchback it's like to mentally even if even if you are getting slightly better play out of one of them than the others, like the mental exhaustion of try to be like which media quarterback is slightly better or absurd chance little bit or something first two interceptions and 1/4 are they out for a series like I just that daddy go to work. Whoever it could be. They better decide who it is and stick with it. Free agency trades. We've already had the NFL draft. So it is off season talk for the NFL on the rug and talk 2023 NFL draft that we could we could. I now know we could not we could studio in my man Coach Peter. It was the capital financial advisory group were talking retirement coach. I'm a simple guy but I like colors. Tell me how I can colorcode money and get ready for retirement. I like colors to my chores. I like graphs I don't like just buzzwords what we try to do is we try to break down all those words on your statement. All those numbers into three colors red, green, yellow people amazingly come in and most of the money is in the red cat again.

I want to read means high horsepower potential is high loss potential.

It's a give-and-take you can want to do that or that yellow means liquid money and get anytime stuck on anything green.

If you safe growth but also gives your lifetime income as we get closer to retirement. We need some green accounts with greens only call it bad that result was important regional support for you to next and people out of the thousand dollar value going to put together for you your very own total plan that has a green so it's a traffic light. I hope it's green for you 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B through roadshow from our filling in joining us now the head coach of the Carolina hurricanes. The Metro division champs you the 2021 Jack Adams Winter four years of that judgment hurricanes for years in the playoffs. Through those four years advancing past the first round.

He is Rod Brind'Amour coach.

I know that you are in North Carolinian you're committed here even got a 919 phone number I will give it anymore did that the true test. I know how you hockey players come to North Carolina you move here but in the summers are going back to other parts where it is. Rod Brind'Amour spent his summers. What is not. Obviously plenty for the NHL draft at the arena that I believe that every day I'm going to like my family down the North Carolina beach right will be where am I so where do our drive I can't beat it on the schedule was released yesterday. Do you care about the schedule is the head judge the Carolina hurricanes.

Yeah, I'm going to Manning out of the trial or no stuff that you know the little things that no one cares about but yeah I mean it's out, not really. Probably a lot of rolled like too much time on the road like that where the game between the road games.

I hate that is getting to games in the hundred 83 days. So what's up what an ideal schedule.

You said it was too much time on the road in between games that that makes it like you're not doing anything you rather be home. What an ideal schedule why love it when we were going to California trip 23, and four days late. MLA you do it quickly. Not my word on it or were San Jose all nightmare and then try to see on that up to Canada like it.

In between games too much time on the road is where you know that that's been my theory so I like to just crank countrymen and then I more time at home on the road all right home this your schedule says is no changing that you say to the legal you ask the representative from the hurricanes they had. Could you make customers are great. A minute and one little bit about what I don't. I don't have anyone to you so that it sounds like that so will take it you can only hear Robin were complaining that the schedule on this your program, the NHL draft starts tonight. Officially, though, as of right now the canes don't have a first round pick up for the night. What you recall about being drafted ninth overall by the blues back in 1988 what you remember about it, work it out but I was not really rated at high going into 21st know and so when you going to draft the top 10 guys in the front row seat know you know it's not really ever know that you actually want to cameras know where they are. Balaban get there. When I got my seat draft I was literally behind the bar so I could see what was going on and may call my name ninth.

Note the cameras they could find.

I was coming in from behind the board trying to come around to get the stage so the thing I remember, but it was exciting time for sure some you always remember, stick kick start the next phase of your life draft in 19 I knew I would not high school in Canada like private school, so I was not at home, and I didn't have. So I borrowed all my buddies closed and I was mismatched and errant house. But you know then the day. Remember, that's all in the other side of it is the canes PR department social media. They do a great job did these moments else we seen some of them over the years. The what's it like being a coach and calling you know maybe a 17, 18, 19-year-old kid saying hey you're in the NHL right now.

What's that like really going to normal year where we know you do a lot of interviews with top you know you get to spend a little time on the you know the one guy you get out of you do have some sort of relation with how exciting is not just for the athlete, but for the family land hockey is a grind through families all the way through with their son know the whole time growing up in the special moment for a really just whole family and that's what you're kind of excited order to see that moments of Lycos of the brain called the college. Remember particular some to be an extra happy or are not happy enough that it didn't get the call from Rod Brind'Amour lesson copper even if you get late like it still is so can I get it all the years of minor hockey you know your name called. Where to it's an exciting time distant okay that part of my favorites, paid off. I've been noticed and now I got a jump start the next earlier in joining us to judge the Carolina hurricanes going to trade this will be two years in a row without a first round draft pick is that a reflection of having a young team team and not needing as much immediate talent or is it kind of just happenstance you made moves that you want at the time of the those resulted in back-to-back years that a drastic year not as important as you drive your drafting late right you don't see things really moving out of here in a lottery picks know that I go to the game changing you count on so picking 30th down in the list you, the more apt to move those for when now speaking obviously were a phase where we love our team love our young players and lower dwelling to try to win so I think you deftly build knowledge for the future.

But when we got to play for right now. How easy is it to find Jacob Slaven's in the fourth round when you got sounds like lots of tickly later in the draft. There really is everywhere. What we do well well when our draft notice of Alaska. Trade up or down on everyone look at his get more and more dark dark Lord and because there are these kids out there that are late bloomers that don't shine as a 17-year-old man. Wait till you see him on the 21 now more and more kids are not in the system may be defined like that philosophy comes up next week after the NHL draft is free agency. Obviously a lot of decisions to be made.

I might ask you about what decisions will be made as we don't know but I do have a question in the exit interview you just okay. I want all the guys back down is the one that has to figure it all out there does seem to be a healthy balance relationship between you coaching the team on the ice and the folks who pick the players itself, but obviously there is collaboration on everything. How does it work in free agency do you do your research and sit and give Don Waddell a piece paper. It says here, my priorities are your rankings and then trust them to make decisions or that ongoing conversations as free agency goes ongoing and somebody is another guy you and to be out alignment really run the whole show. So for me I was literally on the phone with all three of them before we got on here so it's constant they know they also know I'm a little biased because I love the guy they have gone out back up a little on that the day their checkbook about now I just have to say I want all the back thing doesn't work so they feel players all you know now want to be here and I love it here, but guess what they want and does not fit all the agents that push him in there trying to get the Mac so it's a little bit you know it's a bit of a mess but we certainly are hopeful that we can get you something you really had to deal with as a player, you play the season and then you can work out as you see fit and then shop obviously went with our team activities do you like this part of not asking you few want to be GM or anything with you. Find the routing free agency part interesting, like I build your team on the most important thing to me. Quite honestly mean we can have the best we have all that but we don't have the players doesn't really matter.

So it's all about getting the best people look at and then try to keep on and that's where know that's where it gets really complicated and I don't like and I don't enjoy this part where you know it does get tough, but hopefully get through this goodbye. Come August time organ donor group and more all all in doing the golfer Carolyn hurricanes is read another piece about Tim Gleason his first year of coaching the team talked about when he was keeping teams.

A player you can talk to them for three months that you were kinda cold and frosty in the sense of the rebellion want to waste time. Get to know somebody so you knew they were about. I imagine that's not how you operate as a coach, you have new drafted players in camp.

You have free agents that sign with you. Do you have a special way to welcome folks to the team. A lot of times might be a got a straight midseason going, but I welcome the guy to the Carolina hurricanes. While a little overdramatic.

Fremont might've been about three weeks for sure I want to make sure you're waiting for you know not how we operate as a group back then as you know, but now it's different immediately. Here no document to make sure they feel comfortable coming into the room and then I went to the players out and they they got a fit and by earning their keep select take time but maybe we see if we brought a man there's a reason and like him to make sure they feel comfortable and more Carolyn hurricanes good luck and a great drafted a great free agency to talk to you all the time.

I don't study as much so I like to take the kids to remind you, you have had.

I work on this before the youngest of the bosses to show that you are in on it as well. Now that I was great, but I do like that's right that's right just like you to choose a blonde sometime you know I gotta finish with notice I got the plug of endorsement from Rob Brind'Amour before I shower this piece of praise I drop your North Carolina rod Raleigh native and I know that you know you know when you sign autographs and you see the kids about make the crowd go wild with the big when we see the fist bump cc the locker room. The NC State ice hockey or light up when you go in there and usually things so I know that you have some idea of your impact what I am telling you, you do not know the full extent of the impact what you meant to the sports market around here obviously hockey in particular.

But just as the person the way you carry yourself when you talk, and I was and what you freaking win man you are a legend and you meet a lot. Not just that I know you mean a lot of the hockey world you're going to go down as a North Carolina and Raleigh legend and is therefrom as a Raleigh boy.

I just appreciate if you do, man, thank you. I now got them all together now and I'll say that every time I talk to you meant that you still have fun.

He is the best and he is my legend growing up or the gimbal that I might suggest a Dean Smith of Roy Williams added that later in in ACC history, guys like Kim Newton to been added to it. Then they're not going to be many people but it's all said and done that you get a place in that you hate doing that summer so we could do Mount Rushmore is right about the time he is done coaching hockey Mount Rushmore of sports in North Carolina is going to include Rob Brind'Amour and the impact in this area specifically where I am. Raleigh is just amazing. He carries himself like an incredibly it's it's a crazy situation where he might be one of the best coaches in the NHL and he truly might not want to coach anywhere else like no money, no job, I'm sure if you dazzle them with an All-Star four lines of just 20 goal scores every year is like okay we will just forget when the cop might take up and then it is just a a perfect fit of coaching player and there's there's not much like in sports. He's awesome. June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 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 Carolina listen I want to get there and register to sound like which is not weight on this. I will get to start to but it's happening everything that happens in conference realignment is now happening again.

It's major surprising news and then it's rumors fly back in the day it was message board talk yes, that we would still exist, but we mostly it's called Twitter left then actual message board still exist we've left behind is like. Thankfully, sources of actual news. Note rarely did somebody come to be like her this on a message board, because the same people that like to get messageboard clout back in the day can find that clout now another patient.
