This is dry when Josh drive you through this support is we are today. A big knot in college basketball canes had told Rod Brind'Amour in 30 minutes but we start with football where I've been on record saying that that the moment look equally surprisingly announced his retirement. The Carolina Panthers became a rebuilding team decision to move off Greg Olson in late January is now a Seahawk by the way was affirmation of that so I think it's a matter of time before the Carolina Panthers move off of cam Newton.

I think it's going to be via trade some time before the draft in April. But one thing we haven't discussed much. What's the alternative for Carolina. What are we going to see at quarterback for the 2020 season and I think there are two realistic quarterback options and free agency this year that are better than what the Panthers would have if they remained with cam at quarterback.

When I say realistic. I'm not talking about Tom Brady. I don't think it's realistic that Tom is going to choose a rebuilding franchise for his final season moving often the New England Patriots but I do think it's realistic you and another future Hall of Fame quarterback I'm talking about Philip Rivers. Great short-term bridge quarterback. You can get him to a two-year deal whenever you're rebuilding. Whether it's the NBA or the NFL.

Major league baseball.

You don't want to be tied down to long-term contracts. Philip Rivers is one of the few quarterbacks that if you try to sign in this year cycle this year and free agency. More quarterbacks available than I can remember in recent memory.

He is the one you can get on his shortest on the shortest deal and still get productivity from these 38 years old but durability is going to be an upgrade from what you have a cam Newton cam missing the last two games of 28 team play in the second half injured with the shoulder injury missing all but two games with the foot concern in 2019.

As we all know Philip Rivers has played 16 games for 13 consecutive seasons so you want to throw 38 out there, but were seeing through breeze announcing he's gonna return in his 40s already mentioned Tom Brady is still chugging along. So I'm not really that deterred by 38 years old.

Also it gives the Panthers an opportunity to learn what they have a Joe Brady only talk about learning what you have. It's always the roster that people talk about they would see what you have a quarterback see what the soffits of wine can do gelling together defensively.

Can anybody stand out there. I think the same applies for coaches especially when it's 30-year-old offense of coordinator Joe Brady all offensive wonder kind grade LSU very well-liked in the saints organization.

Michael Thomas got close to Andrew breeze has always said nice things about Brady as long as he was there.

The numbers didn't lie. LSU. LSU is not an offense of power by any means in the SEC, then Joe Brady arrives in their great breaking records and winning a national title if Philip Rivers is the quarterback we learn if Joe Brady can cut it or not, the NFL level, give Joe Brady two years of Philip Rivers. You figure out what exactly that's going to be also. I think Philip Rivers might be the best comp to Joe Burrow or Joe Burrell coming out of the draft. It's always good to be who is this person I've heard crazy stuff set all you remind me of Joe Montana reminds me of Aaron Rodgers. It's always the top quarterback in the sport. Compare the number one pick to I think it's Rivers.

When I see that quick release of reminds me of Rivers, the accuracy that was his big drawing point coming out of NC State over 15 years ago. This is the thing that sticks with me swagger. Is there a quarterback in the NFL. Who's been as good as Rivers is been consistently for over a decade who has the swagger that he has. I don't think so. Talking trash not afraid to voice it publicly, not afraid to be demonstrative points. That's what burrow is still burrow these flashy he doesn't mind talking to the guys at barstool sports and going out there and doing interviews where he says things that get people to react. He's been known to talk a little trash on the field so I like burrow, I like in burrow to Philip Rivers so it seems that the fit to have Joe Brady working with Philip, even though it's the latter stages of Phil's career. The second option that I think is realistic for Carolina's Teddy Bridgewater.

He is a lower risk than cam. He is a cheaper longer-term option at 27 years old.

Also, you could argue I probably wouldn't believe this argument but you can make the argument that Teddy when he has played is more productive than cam's been a be aside for the 2015 season there's enough sample size with both Teddy Bridgewater and cam Newton that you could compare some of the significant quarterback figures when making arguments in the facts of this Teddy is a better passer rating thing him by six or five or six point better completion percentage than cam better when percentage than cam last year played five games, five wins for the New Orleans Saints and as I mentioned he's 27. Cam's going to turn 31 and May. He is a cheaper lower risk than cam Newton out of those two rivers and Bridgewater.

I'd prefer rivers because I'm not convinced.

Today Carolina is wanting to take on longer contracts.

Bridgewater is not to ask for another prove it deal. He's not looking to sign a one or two year contract and be a bridge quarterback or all Bridgewater quarterback, probably the better way to say it with him know he's got one for five year deal. You only give Bridgewater that if you believe he's gonna want to Super Bowl XL. I'm not convinced you can win a Super Bowl Bridgewater quarterback. Just look at separatist 49ers. Is there a better team that you can put around the quarterback and what San Francisco had they want all the important areas of that Super Bowl, they still lost why they don't have a home so if the goal is to win the Super Bowl, then why sign Teddy Bridgewater for five years. I prefer rivers because that's a good guy to have in the building.

I think it fits from a cultural perspective that rules trying to install that he's been given a lot of years a lot of stability he's secure and Carolina rivers.

He allows you to collect the draft capital trading away.

Cam Newton two-year contract that is going to hurt you much long-term speaking. Also he allows you to draft a young quarterback and develop them over the next few years, even if it's not in this draft if it's not Herbert was a first-round draft pick. This is a pretty deep draft, you can get a quarterback past the first round Carolina.

They have a lot more needs than QB if things don't work in the win column for the Panthers next year. Would Rivers, a quarterback well next year's a pretty damn good class. Joe drug lords could be available just in field seems to be a really good prospect.

And who knows, there might be another Joe Burrell like athlete who stands out next year. Were talking about a draft on a year from now, 336-777-1600 phone number, cam Newton, Philip Rivers, Teddy Bridgewater, who would you want playing quarterback for the Panthers this fall. 336-777-1600 if you wanted on that topic on Twitter at sports. I'll try also to selfishly speaking covering every single one of the Panthers games. It is the more interesting option playing Philip Rivers/there are many quarterback I'm interested to hear what they have to say after a game.

Philip would be one of those guys also NC State. I'd say next to North Carolina has the most fans the most alumni in the state of North Carolina, so it will be popular to if Carolina is in rebuilding mode and things are good to be great next year regardless of Philip Rivers is a quarterback Philip the guy was going to get you into the stadium he somebody you can put on a poster other than Krista McCaffrey.

So there are other ancillary reasons why it would make sense to sign Philip Rivers on Twitter at sports of dryad if you want to chime in that way.

Robert Walsh is the produce rubbish.

Oh you got Aaron Gabriel in the house as well so your Dylan is somewhere doing things allegedly, Rod Brind'Amour's going to join us in 20 minutes. The thing I want to talk to Ron about the stadium series I think represents growth of this state as a hockey market every single test that this state is faced in a hockey sense a past all can they be competitive.

Can they be successful on the ice. I think to Stanley Cup appearance is justified and less than 23 years to more Eastern conference final appearances including one last year. Longevity. It's not just all success in want to get behind a winner. What's can happen if you have nine straight years of nutmeg in the postseason. Carolina had that they survived it in this year they sold out 10 games at PNC arena.

The most they sold out since the 2009 season in Eastern conference finals.

Team and that your they only sold out 10 so Carolina still has over a month to have more sellouts than that there's a lot of momentum. They hosted the draft they hosted the All-Star game I was there in 2011. This is another step Robert in the Moors been there almost every step of the way he's been a player. One of the best players, the hurricanes ever had.

He's now a head coach. He was an assistant coach for 1/2 dozen years or so as well. So I'm interested in his perspective on that and he'll be here in a little over 15 minutes coming up though why I expect things to get this done object and maybe a little bit awkward in Winston-Salem tonight.

This is the drive we never want to hear your disappointed with our program. He held no let's avoid so please keep it to yourself. Just know that you're on the drive with Josh Graham 95 Boris ACC champions will be honored at the Joel tonight and boy I expect things to get word and nostalgic fast how many things are both nostalgic and awkward. Think about that for a second voice. I'm not to be in Winston-Salem tonight Sawyer's going to be there instead. I'm to be in Raleigh for NC State Duke.

I have some thoughts on that game in a minute but Wake Forest. They have all ACC players being recognized tonight. In addition to Dave Odom whose names going to go into the rafters that's happening before the game so if you want to see coach Odom be honored get there before 7 o'clock at halftime.

They can honor the 95 team as Dave Odom told us on yesterday show their wanting to honor every player who is been honored in the rafters who's able to make it. I don't think Chris Polska to be a part of this Tim Duncan is a hard, maybe.

But Odom said yesterday that he thinks that he's going to be here later on tonight buttressing of the all ACC guys be and recognize who went on to be NBA All-Stars Josh Howard. He's going to be there monthly bugs. I'm sure is going to be there.

Tim Duncan, if he shows up. Then you juxtapose that with what is currently on Wake Forest's roster. I don't see one draft prospect on this team. I'm not saying that to be mean about a guy would crush his college.

It's not what I'm about here, but Brandon Childress is it going to be a NBA pro probably to play basketball overseas. If he wants to continue pursuing John the Brown.

If I had to guess, probably not.

Especially when you have injury concerns. This early on Olivier Saar shows flashes, not nearly enough and also not enough success for me to think he would be a draft pick. So I think tonight is going to be a juxtapose position of what was versus what is a beautiful pregame ceremony.

That's what I'm expecting with tremendous memories, then it's going to be Georgia Tech playing this Wake Forest team halftime begin to build it back up 95 team bring them out working to celebrate Randolph Childress the crossover. Jeff McKenna is a burger to see the Joel getting loud as this is the 30th year anniversary of the Joel everybody's going to be getting hype in these videos. I just hope there's a lot of people in the stands to watch it in the I hope the pull of Tim Duncan being there maybe and Dave Odom be an honored is enough to have a decent crowd at the Joel but I'm not very optimistic on that. I'm not optimistic because if North Carolina even bringing all the Tar Heel fans out only packs that place. Two thirds full.

I don't think Georgia Tech on a Wednesday night with this Wake Forest team is going to bring out deep fans in full force. I just don't think so. Especially if it's all good to be on television to. I hope I'm wrong. I hope I am but that's the way I feel about it right now. Tonight it's going to remind Wake Forest fans what the standard should be and to anybody who thinks I'm being unfair to Danny Manning. I'm being harsh on be in the sports talk show host calling for people's heads. That's not what I'm about. I'm not somebody that calls for people's jobs might be the only time we've done it, saying that Wake Forest or that a team would be better off with the head-coaching change that we did it would. Ron Rivera even though we said that something that might be expected, so that's not what this show is a sample were about here however I grew up in this state and my service.

What I do here on the radio is tailored towards my audience, not towards the people at Wake Forest to visit my job to pump up schools pump up Wake Forest, NC State Duke, North Carolina. It seems people complete those ideas and I completely understand that you have your own lives with things that are complicated more complicated than sports. Just go to this radio show because it's an escape and I like sports. I don't expect you to understand all the different intricacies, but I feel like in order to be sincere and genuine to the audience. I have to be honest when it comes to Danny Manning and Wake Forest. It's obvious that the Deke's art meeting the standard that was set by Dave Odom the standard that was set by guys like Rodney Rogers who we expect at the Joel tonight.

Randolph Childress Tim Duncan Josh Howard Skip Prosser, Chris Paul. Even Dino Gaudio's two or three seasons before things went south one NCAA tournament in six years for Danny to in the last 10 years. It's just not good enough.

It isn't in tonight to be a reminder of that. Here's what I find solace in the I know John Curry understand. I know it now, based on conversations I've had with them but he somebody who was a proud demon to his guy who used to have tickets in the upper level watching that 95 team. He went to school here. He knows Wake Forest history very well. He is well-connected in the college basketball world and knows he can bring in a quality head coach if he so chooses. What he did at Kansas State bringing in a really good coach and act case state replacing Frank Martin who was a Bruce Weber so I really feel like Wake Forest has a director of vast athletics who understands the state of things understands what the standard should be, because he has an appreciation of the history is also somebody was great at fundraising as well. And if it takes a little bit of that to get to a buyout figure that's close to $10 million. I'm confident we can get the job done. Rob Brind'Amour Carolina hurricanes head coach going to join us in a little less then 10 minutes in response to me saying I think Philip Rivers should be Carolina's quarterback this year.

That's a better alternative, the cam Newton I got a text already saying how fertile is Joe burrowed to think that that's the best comparison for him to fill up how many kids were there have to be for Joe Breaux for you to say that that might be a cop there. Robert, at this stage in his career may be having a nice oilseed family of 2 to 3 kids, I would say you be on pace okay any other awkward, nostalgic stages of life you think you could compare to tonight.

Wake Forest honoring the 95 team will have a good team. It's not to make the NCAA tournament for the third straight year like seeing your dad's ex-wife somewhere yeah I'm retook me museums, but also a member yell fighting in public.

I don't know if maybe some like that that sounded very close to the heart. No diet was Emilio say maybe by dementia Museum not do it. It was me. I promise it is hereby career sounds good. Got something Aaron 336-777-1600 is the phone number if you want to China.

What you imagine the conversations going to be among those guys were draft picks in the MBI watching this Wake Forest Josh Howard trumpeted up with Bugsy bodes maybe Tim Duncan and look at things in yeah I remember playing Georgia Tech and man I remember playing in this place was a little harder to get in will to company right now to come to getting into BC. The little bit different than it was back when we were playing that hair different than what were use this in this time around NC state also plays Duke later on tonight. I think the Wolfpack is going to be in position to beat the blue Devils tonight, which NC state they do a good job defending big so I'm not that concerned about Vernon Carey NC State been killed by perimeter shooting that's been the issue. Derek Thornton going off the other night for BC José Alvarado Michael develop from George Jack Ryan McMahon with those threes he went on a roll hitting at PNC arena a few weeks ago Duke. Meanwhile, they struggle against dribble penetration Martell Johnson. I think you'll have a bounce back game CJ price he's NC State's best player. Very good at driving to the basket and finding holes and near the foul line, Internet, and at the elbow look at the guys who have had success against nutrient forests: Anthony David Johnson. I was at Stephen F Austin game. It's all guard offer 26. I think it's going to be close.

But even though NC State has won four of the last six home games against the blue Devils.

I think it's going to be Duke winning a tight game tonight. Duke Bay 15 ACC games by 30+. But they've also closed well to North Carolina, Boston College, Florida State. Those are all examples where Duke had to be tough and I think this Duke team is a little bit tougher maybe a lot tougher than NC stated in plus perimeter shootings hurt NC State and while Duke is it a great perimeter shooting team Alex O'Connell.

He's played very well the last three games, eating important shots against North Carolina after seemingly being out of the rotation altogether.

He had the two most important shots against Florida State at home a couple nights later, but it was really good, especially when Zion walked into the building on Saturday against Notre Dame. Matthew hurt. He's about 40% from three Joey Baker, another one a watch for. Though NC State. They'll have a shot to win tonight, just as long as hurt Alex O'Connell and Joey Baker don't go off but if it's close I distrust Duke a lot more to be tougher and to finish things out. I think they're going to win a close game tonight and I'll be there to tell the tale. Fresh off the road when in Nashville, hurricanes, head coach Rob Brind'Amour joins the show next on the drive. No mercy, no fear, you're on the drive with Josh Graham in honor of Dave Odom was a guest on yesterday in the 1995 Wake Forest championship team that's going to be recognized that the Joe the night. I have a list of my top 10 things about the 1990s, we do a top 10 list every single week. I was a 90s baby and I'm all about it all about the 90s and I think we should dive headfirst into this because afterwards I have a couple free agents that the Carolina Panthers need to pursue a few free agents that I look at and said that's a good fit for Matt role in the Panthers.

But let's get into the top 10 things about the number my number 10.

Thing about the 90s saved by the Bell Tron goodbye to him favor 90s TV show Aaron MMN Robert. Oddly enough, same, I had the biggest crush on Laura Winslow ever tomorrow.

Breaux seen Adam little objectives you have been Steve like the way my number nine. Think about the 90s Blockbuster Douglas yeah big upset he's on the list. Blockbuster Douglas one of my favorite things about the 90s where was that flight somewhere in Japan you have a look at 330 4 o'clock the morning everybody woke up what happened. Number eight.

My number eight thing about the 90s brand and beanie babies to take all the Carolina Panthers along with them. The Buffalo I'm going to include him in my top 10 list in the rules seven mime number seven thing about the 90s the Denver Ford Bronco's could you imagine something like the OJ case happened in 2020. Like I want to think what the equivalent would be because I don't want to accuse anybody of a double murder, but that would be insane would be its breaking news, like when Toby passed, we had the Pro bowl going on and cut into the probe or cut into other programming it infiltrated the Grammys yeah one of the biggest things ever happened six by number six think about the 90s super Mario Lemieux audio Nortel easily ran. If you have that I did it just started working out. That's crazy. I love super Mario but always be a Mario kart and Mario party guy more than anything else.

64 just revolutionized the whole 3D gaming thing before. It was like a tabletop stroller or scrollwork and then once you had Mario 64. You had like a whole vivid world I always rock with Yoshi I don't care what game it is. I don't play unless I'm Yoshi even smash brothers your Yoshi got Yoshi all the time. You can't kill a double jump he does get the division could turn into a shell. Anytime something to scary.

I my number five thing about the 90s where's John Waldo yeah baby Austin Powers was the 90s. Sadly enough, I think the first one was in the 90s yeah that's Excel for my number four thing about the 90s Fresh Prince Fielder did not have sexual relations with that woman I did not sleep with that woman. In fact, we were up all night fresh Prince Fielder make the cut to move away from the awkwardness that you just threw on the segment three mime number three. Thing about the 90s Chris Mack Arena. I hate that sound bloodcurdling terrible sound. Nobody wants to hear this sound that if you play again, I would be really upset if you're playing terrible to my number so thing about the 90s plaid Stevens is platted in any things in there you can rock the right way to be in here were in plaid. It's colder like you lumberjack look I think it really depends if I want the lumberjack look tonight at wake polemic on the way going to NC State to work out know you need a beer and manly feature you maybe like yeah one mime number one thing about the 90s when Roy meets world I love that show and and verily my brother used to hang out with the guys who played Shawn on that show and is now in Los Angeles and they were at a party and is two or three times that he cannot alert his name like it was something strong like I don't know what his first name was something strong headed the green children know they were just hanging out and then you recognize the guys name. Wait a minute. Where do I know you from way back in the day I played Shawn meets world and I was like my brother's favorite show you surely didn't greet each other like an rest of the segment and things that didn't make the cut in the top 10 list among things that didn't make the cut on this list taking that AOL, the New York Nickelodeon taking the over goals.Martin's rotor Rod Tidwell runs Rodriguez and here's a free agent. The Carolina Panthers should go after nondrinking to be with us from the athletic Carolinas at 530. I think I prefer Philip Rivers a quarterback over Teddy Bridgewater if you're going to move off cam Newton and I believe the Panthers are going to the moment they learned that Luke equally was surprisingly retired.

I think that sealed the deal there. I think Philip Rivers he be a short-term contract guy for rebuilding to don't want long-term deals tying you down, especially at the quarterback spot about this when this is one you like Robbie Anderson yeah where Robbie had to go to school at Temple which means he played for who Scott is not rule there you go.

Carolina Panthers had come. Yeah, that. So I would check out make some sense Robbie Anderson was asked about maybe re-uniting with this college coach. He said that might be a pretty cool thing though, so it seems he's open to it. I don't think Robbie Anderson would be even the second best receiver on the steam DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, you need 1/3 option Robbie Anderson would be that baby could be a second option of Curtis Samuel doesn't take another step and another player to considers this one of the best college players. Oh, and thanks to Zach by the way its writer strong. I'm talking about their who played Shawn from boy needs world, or she is when Roy meets world Tyler Maddock, a vintage he's a free agent. If you don't know Tyler Medicaid budget.

Now the temple guy is one of the best college linebackers I ever watched after Pittsburgh he was one of the best special-teams players and the entirely what Matt rule is looking to do right now is build a culture is there anybody you can find may be available, who represents Matt rules processing culture better and somebody played for them at Temple might've been his best player at Temple thing. So you bring that guy and he understands Matt rule he understands that he's good to be setting the culture that's going to give the Panthers a chance for success in the future. They lost Luke equally.

Shack Thompson gets the big contract so there's good to be a little bit of a rotation and a linebacking core Medicaid but she could step in that spot he will be a well-liked player from the fans at some of the look at and I'll throw one more name out there. Greensboro's own Eric E. Braun, you lose Greg Olson, boating, parting ways.

There I think they want Ian Thomas to grab hold of an opportunity. This is the only reason why Arti Braun might not be the best, Ian Thomas. He's been solid, not great, not Greg Olson quality yet, but he's still very young tight and not Indiana going into its third year Carolinas going to want to develop that guy bought. You can have another tight and that he could potentially learn from any bronze that guy. He's had some issues and locker rooms, but homecoming for him would make up make some sense he could cut some passes and Joe Brady. He's great when he's working with guidance of quality Thaddeus Moss be in the perfect example from LSU so those are names to consider Philip Rivers Robbie Anderson Tyler Medicaid Mitch and Eric E brought as where's the Carolina Panthers may, or should go after coming up. My prediction for Duke NC State tonight and the nostalgic night to come inside Joel Coliseum. This is a Wednesday dry dry Josh Gray, one of my favorite reoccurring time to time his food in football with Jordan Ron free Panthers beat reporter with the athletic Carolinas wrote a very interesting story a few days ago about cam Newton's foot status having the surgery on the list. Frank and December and apparently that being ahead of schedule and he could be recovered from that foot and ready for football activities as soon as next month. So let's knock out the football and newsworthy portions first.

Jordan and appreciate your time is always what's the most important piece of the cam Newton information you learned that all non-gradual or what he wanted from having surgery surgery garlic print tightening procedure.

Pretty simple. Detract Temple third-rate are coming out that the current you people add relatively what are tightening the area around the Frank at Geraint and making sure that rehabbing about you by my physical on that looks like it will be paid according here are direct not that go back and offered clarity. Unfold and I think importantly importantly for can offer you a little bit of clarity what you know where I got everything that was really important that keeping the building on a weekly date. I've been told delicately showing showing by any means going and blocking out or blocked out out in the building making yet.

I'm thinking right from her condition and clear about what we heard your voice last week asking questions to David Tapper as he had a charity event and was pressed on cam Newton's radio row comments at the Super Bowl in Miami and he absolutely expects to be back and there are couple things I found interesting about that story blowing up.

He was asked about him being traded potentially or fees received in the inquiries already, even though you can't talk about a player being traded. The rules don't say you can do that until the new league year starts next month. It would be tampering if David Tapper admitted that II think it's a product. This becoming a big story of owners speaking generally, you don't see many owners talking not name Jerry Jones and it's a product of cam Newton being one of the more polarizing quarterbacks.

We've seen the last decade. Also, I was the middle of the week last week and the Super Bowl was a week and 1/2. Remove we needed some football to talk about.

It was red meat house newsworthy. As someone who was standing right in front of David Tapper and hearing what you had to say how newsworthy do you believe his comments to be why don't you line the company had been following for you know Mark Richter and you know I cannot write 19 when he went on in.

There are currently thinking about where they try to move on from there. It why amplify higher drafted corn building though. I think that amplify think that they've been playing the same thing about healthy and so me.

I understand the perspective of that appearing to be a little bit different because previous interview with David Klapper on ongoing train track all been written down like that one.

Now people we had very parking. People thought exactly how kind of noncommittal comment where LPR second boundary quickly things like that and I think that arrived a little bit of thinking and people who are maybe right on the Frank about all of that conversation around in question. While white blanket very long term and your quarterback are committing their quarterback and that I would pay it you input your question because they are clearly doing that very much train what their options are at the moment, and if they don't know yet because I don't know how he now had me found out that will be. Maybe they can start on that more clarity living forward, extorting Rodriguez the athletic Carolinas.

She's on twitter at Jordan Rodrigue. Now it's get to the food portion of the conversation we were talking about the famous group bone thugs in the harmony changing their name to boneless dogs in harmony and apparently their big Buffalo Wild Wings fans. I'm interested in your viewpoint from Weyauwega eating perspective do you prefer bone then or boneless wings are good. When I mean I really really like I'm a flat person that I really really like eating a dead language from Luke had out here at the backswing that ever had and there's this lack of seasoning and have a flat person all the way, I can only get five of the current compromise that said I'm not trading on no longer eat publicly betrayed them that you're getting a standing ovation. Is that the best place you've eaten wings you've taken me there and it was an adjustment for seating. The first two wings are so having the charred wings at Moosehead and Charlotte are those the best wings you that ring and a lot of different inquiries about are technically my fellow that that one back to UA 22 wings are so in one sitting in Buffalo. I think 23 yes, that would day at that backswing at any price that the absolute best when it comes to the Panthers coverage. It's good to hear your voice and I'm sure will be catch up sometimes and thanks for doing this Jordan Yep that's Jordan Rodrigue she's on twitter at Jordan Rodrigue.

I'm not sure if you've heard yet.

Robert Tim Duncan is it Joel Coliseum and his outfit is getting reaction. I was on record saying that to me these fashion how to improve after he retired. He's look fine on the San Antonio Spurs bench next to Greg Popovich during either a Tony Parker Amano Ginobili ceremony where they were being honored. He had this cool T-shirt with a blazer and a nice hairdo. I don't really know what he's doing with this hairdo. Right now at the jewelers pictures here. He has what looks like a regular old undershirt, white undershirt, he's wearing with just a Wake Forest old-school letter jacket on top and how would you describe this hairdo to somebody who doesn't have the visual Robert. I also do not have the visual I would try to find this picture of Aaron, how would you describe it to me. D these rocking like the asymmetrical dreadlocked ball is in the top dreadlocked where they do it all and it is sad to say but is, swooping to the left or right okay like business at the same time as pleasure.

I'm so glad he's back.

That's awesome having to media in the building. They voted me told us yesterday that he believed Tim Duncan was good to be able to make it All-Star weekend.

I don't think you pick this Georgia Tech game to honor the 95 team if you didn't think Tim Duncan would be there right at the All-Star week. When's the next time Oklahoma City Pl. Do we know for sure Chris Paul's not to be there. I think we would know if seeping through the house. Oklahoma City maybe having a nice year. They play the Friday Friday so they might as this bird theoretically. He could've made it yeah but he wasn't on the 95 team excuses that they were there honoring the other players that have banners honoring Josh Howard there honoring.

I think Margie Boggs and honor to Ronnie Rogers and honor Lotta great players that they voted and coached and David so it would be neat if you have CP three and Tim Duncan together, but am not getting ready.

It's cool that Tim Duncan is in Winston-Salem right now. What Tim Duncan's at Winston-Salem.

I know NC State.

They are the ACCs last realistic shot at 1/5 NCAA tournament team.

I think, and they don't necessarily need to win the night but they have to be Florida State or Duke to have a chance they need one more good when their three and four and Quad one.

When's they have Duke in Durham, Florida State Saturday in PNC arena so you have Duke deny FSU Duke in Durham.

Two out of the 3B and at home. You gotta win one of those three, and then when two out of three against North Carolina pit and wake two out of those three being at home when the first game in Greensboro that you play and that'll have NC state at 20 when's and I don't think there to turn down this year.

20 when ACC team with four Quad one went.

I don't think it's gonna happen, so tonight a good opportunity because NC State has beaten Duke four of its last six times at PNC arena. Syracuse needs pretty much a miracle.

They play at Louisville tonight. Louisville has played well the last two games. But even if they beat the Cardinals tonight that he doing for the next five at least three of those games are on the road. Even then, there 19 regular-season wins called to do more damage in the NCAA tournament or to the ACC tournament.

Notre Dame's toast one in six Quad one games if five teams make the tournament and it's not even a given that Virginia's gonna make it. At this point they are very much on the bubble. According to Joel and Artie five NCAA teams would salvage a down year for the ACC because I would still take the top three teams, the ACC has versus anybody else's top three giving Florida State Louisville and Duke against anybody else I know Kansas is getting set to face Baylor in a top three showdown Kansas third rank baler number one on Saturday, but is the next best team in the big 12 West Virginia ranks 17th.

If that's your best three still good to take, Duke, Louisville, and I'm going to take Florida State the Big Ten all them I get 10 teams this year really 10 teams at school besting Maryland yeah I'll take Duke over Maryland nothing Louisville over Maryland.

I might take Florida State and Maryland over Florida State but whose next Penn State near the top Independence Day over Leonard Hamilton's team get out of town that then after that Iowa law. Those are the three best Big Ten teams. Penn State, Maryland, Iowa, past Big East nova Creighton Seton Hall. I take Duke Florida State Louisville over those three I just what's up. I think there's a chance for everything to be salvaged here.

NC State.

I don't quite think they're going to win tonight.

I think it's good to be a close game spread 6 1/2. That sounds about right.

I think Duke's a little bit better at closing games, but could be a really good one at PNC arena.

Tough choice tonight if you had the option NC State Duke or Georgia Tech Wake Forest to media in the house there honoring the 95 team.

What would you do nurse but disrespected Tim Duncan, but I probably still pick Duke NC State are probably at Joe Bell's good times there is more convenience going to be Joel sending Sawyer, Dylan, I'm good. I'm going to Raleigh so I got the drive in front of me. See, to go and get out here on a no not done yet. We got to get to the house to do. Speaking with Robert when we got found a loophole. That's going to make me the largest Guinness world book of recordholder of all time. I'm fascinated by this ticket to the house next
