Luke DeCock, News and Observer, joins Adam for his weekly Friday visit to talk the Carolina Hurricanes and this weekend's upcoming college football matchups.

Well is bring a look to talk to the news and Observer rejoices every Friday and we have a lot to talk about Sir Shelby starts with the defect that there are enough people, including the Commissioner of the ACC that think expanding the NCAA men's basketball tournament is a good idea. What are they doing one of your where your people talk about your athletic director or Commissioner that we live starting to become sort of a strata, we guided the question is what I wrote this week for candidates who live in a way that thousand ruling that and I think maybe you can do an expanded war if you need to see 190 1620 18. Now you're talking another weekend after moving right though now were talking about moving common tournaments without much change in the schedule.

That's a pretty heavy with what they're doing it with the college football will 90 don't concur with what makes return flashlight and you can accommodate 72 okay I yeah will will. I'm still not thrilled with that but I get it. I think the meeting would kinda be the same. You start adding a whole round, and I think your goal will I .1 are considered even thought about what a 9016 black.

It looks like on a nap by 11 sheet of paper. You kill the whole thing likes my mom called back she have brackets you want tournament.

She cares about how I was playing on Thursday night. That's not going to happen and she's not going about black people do them online now but they'll follow them in the Sunday and blah blah blah that gambling tournament and you cannot kill that you can't or you actually have a cage responsible you do turn CVS Longhorn if they don't. So the fact that this many people are talking about it. We believe that we got a question of minimizing the damage that we stop with football. We stopped even fighting people like me who have been adamantly opposed to expanding the college football playoff. We got to a point where all right, let's just do it in the least intrusive way possible, because we know it's inevitable because it means so much more money I don't know. This is where I get to the NCAA tournament because I've been saying for a while that actually out of fairness and not fairness to teams that otherwise would not make the tournament but out of fairness to flight number one seeds that board or number five or six seeds that await the winner of those first four games and we could even have a conversation about maybe we should move those first four games and stop punishing the fives and six seeds by having them play somebody who's already played an NCAA tournament game, rather than maybe we put those against the 12 seeds like make them battle it out and then play another 12 seeds something like that. But I've always thought that we should have the same veto to 16s in every bracket and that same 212s were 211s in every bracket so had to play in games in each bracket so it's more uniform and I don't how many teams that adds it is at number four event ads for the first four. We would have in like an early eight in terms of maintenance and the other thing Adam, if you do that like look at Notre Dame last year they played in Dayton and fly to San Diego. That makes no argument regarding fly from South Bend to Dayton San Diego. Why not have been games when the teams are going to be so if you expand that little bit. Maybe you can inject logic in the list, but I think when you get beyond that, then yeah you are start to mess with the golden goose. And I think of the 511 of the camp understatement date loves the I understand what you're saying would be better for the teams involved to not have them fly across the country may be Dayton's old things got essentially located.

Maybe Dayton is always a site MAD Ogden, Utah, which used to be a normal NCAA tournament early round site in the Ogden Utah is another first for great and I really have it out for the just what you are for the people voted that the grant you don't understand I have I have many friends in Ogden, Utah. Million Buffalo and Flagstaff also on the campus of Northern Arizona that would be fast driving about. Similarly that anyway we could go to Missoula to play at play five of my background.

I really look to God to be added.

I was joining us here all right you go to Syracuse or are you going to do Carolina.

Now I got I got available for this one for the victory Valley. I would argue, and maybe I'm wrong here, I would argue exactly the big game of the two because they want the clunk wake me like the Atlantic division train has left the station so I feel like the coastal division actually probably the end of the Atlantic, also I think you can win will way I think you can win sir, I think that make up a pretty interesting game Carolina when marked on the board and sharply mentally and now the perimeter veneer while you wait will be full will be a lot of people there.

You know and and I conducted a good environment a really good Just a Duca calm. They've obviously come a long way and you and effect whether or not Miami will on improvement plan or merely a fluke and then you do would you, I think I think you II agree with you. Look at this game. I don't. I just don't know even a decent defense is good to have a hard time stopping North Carolina and dupes got enough injury issues really on both sides of the ball. I think Duke will score. I think Duke will get into the mid to high 30s but I don't I have a hard time closing my eyes and see them keeping Caroline out of the 40s. So there you have to plan it will get me in a notice week when I read on a couple games that we did not agree on the boat for Carolina which which did we disagree. You had date night. You okay will take one thing about that control by the way you control baby. The most dominant program in their league program junk, formulate you have Michigan.

I took Penn State you had to be right very good at this.

But why did you think Syracuse series. I had my make no bones about six searches I think you're cute is is pretty good. Anything I control panel – and often without that. I'm not expecting the flight I don't think you're going to be enough to score enough points the way it makes that I think you'll find this one out, and unless Jackie would have a much bigger graph of the playbook workday. I don't think I'm going to point and the running back to the game or where to feel like home the win over Virginia have exactly been heard by the way, so I got home we replay that is capable of doing anything that equation, but I'm sort of operating from III know I can imagine he's going to play. I think that if state can get to 20. I think that's enough. I'm not sure they will, but that's why I Julio was in studio yesterday and I tried to get them to convince me that state could get the 20 he did a halfway decent job of that. He also said that that Dave Doran has other than the record against pit's record against Syracuse is as good as it is better than it is against anybody else. I can the Carolina Panthers live to talk experience a post mat rule pump and scare the obviously broken Los Angeles Rams pop with a new staff going across the country will gain my ironically over all of that will getting fired. I do think David might observe the absolute worst week to fire him.

So many opportunities and he chooses the week before the and and and all that so I don't know that there is impossible to please your walker may give them better you. I could point out and that they get part of the most part I don't know how much there is very good. The offense of line think the guy left of you often and really just makes you have been so bad. You combine that with the thing that doesn't have a lot of vision leadership didn't have a lot of vision leadership from the top. I was pretty fatal. Now maybe you will know to get some well you guys got me likable guy probably shot long before this.

I'm sure that you won't get a fair shot but II don't bump there is everything. It probably is the get right game for the Lamb. But I'm also so down on the Panthers after watching them lose.

I want to downgrade the Giants game yet again and predominately unwinnable one and they just kind of that mean I think the Giants game was winnable because they were winning my great complement. I just don't think the Giants are great. I know the Giants of a good record for what is very good and they did beat the Packers.

Although the Packers are I think leaving a lot of doubts in people's minds of the Packers are that good at this point I think the Packers are good. I don't think the Packers are great and good on the Giants. I did the Giants are incredibly well coached idle.

I think that is absolutely it does. Here's the thing about mat rule like I will argue this forever. I think, and if the theory that a coach who was known as a builder needs time I think is a sound theory, but if we were paying even moderately close attention last year we all knew that this was going to end poorly and it should not have even came to year three.

They should have made the move after last year and started fresh and the I don't know these, the reluctance to admit your failure to admit a mistake and then going, not all in because they didn't go all in on Baker may thing really give up much other lantern others, more hope. The Band-Aid that got my my confidence in the owner getting this right is that a is at an all-time low and move 00 sleeve is likely you grade point average fat drunk and stupid is no way to go to college some canes canes are in San Jose.

I know what to make San Jose. They lost both games and in Europe to national predators who might actually be good to be an emotional day for Brent Burns.

The yard, I believe you're not there are many reason but it's going to be a big game for him.

I like you, I did not exactly my credential got I liked what I saw in the opener even though you have that big sort of moment like that really good obviously most of the attention. Monday night was gone and I know everybody else last year capable of doing that not every night a good chunk of night you know the goal and he ended up scoring. He made that goal back any torso that that fathers find it funny. I would note that the time needed. I didn't bet you guys were like maybe I have united some cases, but in talking with them. They were all like this is hard to play that way with 15,000 is not what it is hard to do it as a play again tonight. I thought that was kind of interesting because Jeff that even after the second two queries were pretty good, but there's just a high advocate of what I think is a lot better than they did in the opener, and a lot of well you can expect yet does he plead well here's one thing about natures if natures doesn't take shifts off that might be all Martin natures needs to do because there's enough flash where if he basically treated every shift like that and I'm not saying that's easy to do. That's hard to do, but if he does that then he's getting end up with so many more opportunities than he had before this and by the way, the guys who I thought really played well. I thought the fourth line was great. I thought Stephan and Martin of course super noticeable all night Long created a bunch of chances and if you believe in natural stature can all they led the team in high danger. Chances individually, not just created as a light but individually, that great scoring chances and then Jaelyn Chatfield was great in the game. Moreover, about $20 and not working well, but check you have be learning how to use it at this level and at the game develops you. I don't know that you belong to Lucian in opposition. There's a lot to like about him and what brain and you can't teach the I will pay 100 weekly. I don't ever remember a player basically being told there is no one for you here.

Go find another job coming back in the PPO winning his old job back. Getting out one of the franchises I can activate it that in the closet. I don't know that happening anywhere. I thought it was their best forward in the preseason. He was great he was younger than he did last year yeah and he's got good beer game. As I noticed before the opener lived to talk you have you have potential for good beer game as well. I'll talk to you next Friday.

I'm sure I'll see you soon.

Like you so much meant I
