I sent the reported 20 minutes ago the cam Newton has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Arizona. But that's not to put us down by allowing you to start for Carolina. That's as expected.

But here's the thing. Call me crazy but I still like the Panthers to beat the Cardinals was an epiphany I had last night while watching Gardner Minshew carve up the Tennessee Titans not only by the Carolinas going to win. It should be an option. In other words rephrase it this way, Carolina Panthers should be the Arizona Cardinals.

Kyle Allen, he doesn't need to take over this game. If cam Newton didn't turn over the football with an interception and a pass that was behind the line of scrimmage thrown backwards to DJ more they beat the defending NFC champs in the opener at home and it was kind of a throw away game against Tampa Bay on four days rest where random things always seem to happen you know like Gardner Minshew carbon cup is Tennessee Titans. What we really expect from Kyle Allen. What does he need to do in order to give Carolina a chance to win this football game for me it's lien on Krista McCaffrey we saw in game one able to put up over 200 all-purpose yards against those rams. This is in a great Cardinals defense. I watch them play on Sunday in person against the Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson he could do whatever you want at he got players in space. A lot of those guys one 50-50 balls and in the air and Carolina has guys who if you give them the ball in space there to make players mess so you have McCaffrey, but it's all silent, had great chemistry with in the preseason all reports that DJ more.

Of course Greg Olson's get to be a reliable target for Kyle Allen so it easy to think okay your replacing Kyle Allen with cam Newton. How can you expect Carolina to win but Carolina has this great roster around the quarterback that they haven't had in past years cam wasn't being asked to do that much which is why the injury he sustained or the way that he played while clearly injured was a staggering as it was last Thursday night, losing to Tampa Bay. I think as long as Darrell Williams isn't a turnstile again at left tackle and Dante Jackson isn't getting worked at wide receiver, or a corner Carolinas can win this football game. Another reason why they should win. Ron Rivera. He sure would be able to out scheme Cliff Kings Barry, this is one of those rare instances in the NFL where you have a head coach who's coordinating the defense going up against a head coach who's coordinating the offense Cliff Kings, Barry. He's in control of the Arizona office former Broncos head coach Vance Joseph has the defense. Meanwhile in Charlotte Ron Rivera took over for Eric Washington late last year and the decision was made that he was going to be the defensive coordinator recall the defense this year so you have a head coach on offense, who last year was a big 12 head coach and one that got fired at that big 12 school going up against a two-time NFL coach of the year. Rivera should be able to out scheme Kings Barry the same way when Tom Brady was nicked up the few times he was the last 20 years Bella check put together a scheme to put his team in a position where they could win. I expect great coaches to do that Pittsburgh play in San Francisco this weekend. I expect Pittsburgh to be right in that game, or even when the game that's what great coaches do, and should be able to out scheme Kyle Shanahan and Ron Rivera should be able to out scheme Cliff Kings bear. Also, there's extended rest.

With it being a Thursday night game last week for some of the nicked up players like Greg Olson Olson Toby in the locker room and I'm feeling it I'm too old for this bleep Thursday night football after a Sunday game.

It's a bit much. Look equally.

He's known to be one of the best game preparers across the leak. He's the Peyton Manning of football on defense give him extra time to prepare for a rookie quarterback and cut Cliff Kings varies offense if he can figure out what Sean McVeigh's doing and he did. I don't think you'll have a problem figuring out what's going on with these Arizona Cardinals. I really don't.

So I like the Carolina Panthers to win this game. I'm going to be at North Carolina Appalachian State tomorrow. I've already said I expect North Carolina to also win that game the same way I expect the Panthers to win but Appalachian State fans are so excited about this. This might be the most highly anticipated regular-season game in Appalachian State history.

Now no games ever going to be as important as that game in Ann Arbor was a 2007 going on the road beating Michigan but that's exactly what I'm saying here in the lead up this game has three things that the Michigan game did not. It's an in-state matchup the games to be played right and at states backyard an hour and 1/2 or two down the road in Chapel Hill.

Also, the history 79 year drought North Carolina and Appalachian State hadn't faced off since 1940 and of course this is the first time there meeting as FBS schools also is a hope of winning perhaps date that you might be the biggest hard-core upstate fan.

There is and said all your friends back in 2007 or Monte Edwards. He's gonna move the ball on this Michigan defense and you better watch out, this Jerry Moore defense can find a way to stop Mike Harding company we have a shot to win this game.

But I'm here to tell you. 98 maybe 99% of Appalachian State fans thought they had no shot when it Michigan pretty much all the same people thought they had Tricia when it Michigan not here at state Vance ex-pat to win in Chapel Hill because Miles Dorn spent a lot of time talking about football culture and Wake Forest lacking it after the Deke's beat the Tar Heels a week ago at state Knoll not only has football culture. They have championship culture and they have championship culture in FBS and the Sunbelt already which is incredible, and Scott Satterfield deserves a lot of credit, but so do these players Zach Thomas. This defense some of the skill position players who are back. It's a new head coach, but many of the same guys are the same players went into Penn State last year and almost knocked off the Nittany Lions in Happy Valley backgrounds presence. I think just his presence should add to the intrigue here. He's bringing North Carolina back but he also at one time was the head coach at Appalachian State. It was only one year. It was his first head coaching job in 1983 and things I think it's fair to say things have changed quite a bit looking at apps they football now versus what Mack Brown was dealing with. Back in 1983.

This is coach Brown earlier in the week when I got there, we didn't have dealer cars were driving stake cars with check out with each class. They only allow you to take 33 out-of-state players because it was expensive out-of-state scholarship compared with in-state scholarship. I think are equipment manager was due to her trainer was a student or really really I think I was the a Sunday we got there because I remember trying to put things together have immediate, but to see what that program has turned into his is just really really rewarding for me. How exciting excited or Tar Heel fans about the Desmond Johnson, the producer of this program and Gabriel in the control room is well taken. Your calls at 336-777-1600 on Twitter at sports are dry and that's something I'm interested in your North Carolina fan.

Heck, if you're in Appalachian State a good day to chime in on the program does you like the Tar Heels, but you've made it clear not a big football guy how many Tar Heel football thing players do you think you can name right now Sam how Mack Brown players a couple of wide receivers to enable wide receiver. The arguments about masking you to name wide receivers and are players and you just said a couple of wide receiver. I also just said the name of the player, about two minutes ago and I'm not very tense and great on the face guy got very good with names of good faith. How big is this game to you.

I think you already answered the question. No second economy. It's for me. Starters, I'm happy that were competitive.

I mean that all that helps in terms of wanting to watch the thinking upstate to monitor Plato football and I respect that state been Boone. Many a time, so enjoy going there but yes Carolyn for especially this year it's it's different to talk about being 21 would normally this time the year were like the one who were something or or 013 and desolate desperate so this game matters more to Appalachian State has been played since 1940. It's in their statement there playing Carolina yes North Carolina. The flagship school in the state you get a chance to get one over on many of the people that surround you.

And there are more North Carolina fans in the state of North Carolina than anybody else but North Carolina should win the game got a better coach and background is more proven then you I drink what I don't mean that as a slight that you I drink with but come on back Brown is a Hall of Famer after one has better resources they have better raw talent and they had the home-field advantage, but Vegas is essentially telling us make the States better football thing. You get home-field that usually means three points if they think the reason State is only 2 1/2 point underdog so they think upstate is a half-point better than North Carolina so I'm looking forward to being there in person tomorrow.

You are listening to the drivers broadcast live in the Law offices of Timothy D. Wellborn studios learn about all the waste and web would help you online and Wellborn.com. You'll know when you need us on the season.

My best bets are six and three were making you a bunch of money to bankrupt the casino getting my three best bets for this weekend next or 5 AM 609 20. Now back to the drive with Josh Graham is one of the three best songs of all time.

I want to hear anything else on the fact that outcast. One of the better job. I like working in threes flag give my three best pal at this time every Friday during fall season and we been six and three nine-game three weeks without doing math at home and I'm such a college football nerd.

I'm excited tonight for Air Force Boise State Reggie Bush is good to be returning to the Coliseum tonight where he's banned from attending games. But since he's in a working capacity for Fox sports one he's allowed to be there for USC playing number 10 Utah team I had in the college football playoff going into the season, so I'm all in on the units. I don't think that's the game the circle. The night Air Force and Boise State. They represent two of the five best group of five teams across the country out of the Mountain West conference that is a massive game being played on the blue turf at Boise Air Force +7 tasty at Boise, Wyoming.

Let's get weird. The cowboys +3 1/2 at Tulsa. I was tempted to go that way, but none of those gains are as good as the three I have in my best bets.

As I understand we have imaging for this now here is my best. Let's start things off with North Carolina Appalachian State said North Carolina should win this game to half-point spread against upstate Vegas is essentially telling you that upstate better than North Carolina is usually like picking dogs when it comes to looking at these Vegas lines. I don't like laying points, but North Carolina.

I just believe that there be a better football team right now to come an awful loss. They had eight days to prep this game actually coming up by what I was impressed with what the mountaineers did in Charlotte against Charlotte Ted Ruth defensive coordinator. He's not necessarily he's very experienced. I don't know Ruben is the word I would use as a defensive minded you I drink with this is his first BSI coaching job. I think it's good these teams are playing each other in Chapel Hill.

Carolyn is the better team with a better coach. I think this is double-digit win for North Carolina so I like them laying 2 1/2 to get Appalachian State money Pampers Cardinals like Carolyn to the wind bought. I don't want to bet the spread. I like the total 44 1/2.

Another thing I don't like doing is betting the under your essentially rooting for nothing to happen and I want to see any scoring here.

I'd rather just sit here and watch field goals and puns all day. I think this is a game where Kyle Allen is a struggle a little bit early on, to get the office moving will still win the game because the defense is to control things and Krista McCaffrey. I'd be surprised if both teams score 20 points in this game, so I think this goes way under 44 1/2 and lastly, Michigan, Wisconsin, the last time we saw the Marines they were home and they nearly lost the Army army hits a field goal at the end. Then Michigan's national title hopes are done I mentioned to you I have in the final four. I also like Michigan to be there as well. When it comes to the Wolverines.

There are three and a half-point dog on the road it Wisconsin. I really feel like Michigan would've been a touchdown favorite in this game before the year started. They were up 38 70 Wisconsin last year.

Late in the game. This is a blatant overreaction to the Army game had a week of rest with everything. Christmas gets better football team to getting three and a half-point Jim Harbaugh has to get it done has to win this year so give it a Marine +3 1/2 I Wisconsin money on those are my three best bets North Carolina laying 2 1/2 against the mountaineers pampers Cardinals under 44 1/2 Michigan +3 and the hook at Wisconsin. You know, we can have one of those you first three weeks we've been to win one days.

This is the weekend we don't really know because I like the sound of 12 inquiry. I like money on it will record that would Vegas if you're betting if you're hitting 59, 60% of your pets.

You're a real champ you're doing an excellent job.

You might as well be a short but right now work were to 67% clip. It's early. It's only a nine-game sample but I've been thinking about these spreads all week long and I been looking at hat would North Carolina and Appalachian State for even longer than that. So I really like the North Carolina Sprint.

I do like the Tar Heels to win this game by double digits and I don't mean that disrespectfully to Appalachian State those of the three best bets I have there. Scott Fowler will join us to talk pampers Cardinals in about 10 minutes from the Charlotte Observer were already seeing college basketball headlines in the news and they involve Zion, Williamson still this is the headline on ESPN Duke freshman Cassie Stanley breaks Zion Williamsons vertical record now I don't see any official measurements for what the vertical was that they had a video there and Cassie Stanley to his credit is jumping quite high, but that's not what I'm finding interesting Zion's name is in the headline, how come you don't just put that in the third or fourth graph and say Duke freshman caches Stanley wrote the vertical record what happened last year when Zion set the mark. It leads me to this point.

Duke is the second ranked recruiting class and class in the country this year.

But that's not really a matter because of how much attention Zion, and RJ got your ago. I think Duke's second ranked class is going to get overshadowed by Zion and RJ.

It's not fair, but college basketball nationally is still very much a niche sport in here were Ground Zero where were at the spot college basketball matters the most in America.

You're in the try. So this might sound abnormal to you or your family love college basketball. Your entire life but across the country. It's does not follow that way were already seeing these headlines with Zion's name. It for Duke basketball this year and I think it's going to continue throughout the season. Caches Stanley's first dunk in a game. Yeah, that was great but not as good as what Zion did the athleticism not really going to match what Zion did these two players not as good as Zion is burning carrion caches and there not to be consensus all Americans. I find this piece to be the most interesting part of what's going to happen would do basketball in 2019 2020.

The reason the root of what's interesting they might be a better team there not to be a more interesting team than Zion, and RJ that what they might be better because for the first time since the blue Devils won the national title in 2015. They have a returning point guard in a very good one and Trey Joan, who would've gotten drafted if he decided to go pro he's back Duke's more experienced. The North Carolina is when the last time you been able to say that Jack White and Javad Laurier returning Alex O'Connell returning Joey Baker returning and then it's the influx of freshman Stanley Terry when Delmore top 25 player in the ESPN 100. It's a fascinating deal. What's can happen with these blue Devils because they can be better. I think what Zion and RJ did a year ago when the ACC but they're not gonna get nearly the attention. Doesn't that fascinate you a team that might be better doesn't get the attention it surprises bridging what 33 and three in the ACC in two years. How often is Virginia talked about nationally how often is Virginia on the highlight reel on the show unless it Zion dunking on Jay Huff with the right hand ratings and interest. Is it exactly created as a result of win.

It's about athleticism.

It's about highlights. It's about what you can put on a 6 to 10 second clip on twitter or on YouTube on Facebook on television that makes people go wow. That stuff matters just as much as winning when it comes to TV networks and radio shows, talking about your team. Duke will struggle to get coverage because they are damn good team again, but I still think it's going to mere we saw in this past year and even though this class is very good and the team might be better always be looking to Zion and RJ Sandwell. These are two consensus all Americans leading the way and we've never seen anything like Zion. I don't care how high caches Stanley could jump drive brought you up by her friends apply guy speak to them or find them in Clements Louisville Clemmons Road take that right to the Kinnaman Village Commons try to grand slam pizza perfect thing to try this weekend by Guy's.com is pie guys pizza a more great sponsor of the program. How much will Kyle Allen need to do in order for the Panthers to win on Sunday. Will discuss with the Charlotte Observer's award-winning columnist Scott Fowler on the drop drive with Josh Graham 4609 20 boys and girls who might be unfamiliar with what the Friday news dump is.

It just happened in the last 10 to 15 minutes.

As Antonio Brown just cut by the New England Patriots. They have a statement which I want to bring to you in just a little bit, but just a few minutes ago. According to reporting done by the Kansas City Star Kansas basketball is expected to face multiple major violation allegations from the NCAA. So there is a lot for us to chew on with that but I'm in the I'm interested in getting some information for things that I'm not qualified to know a lot about I'm not a doctor I I'm not qualified to speak about these injuries in the way that Dr. David Geyer is who literally wrote a book all about sports injuries a few years ago renown sports with the peters who also spent some time here in the triad.

It's good to have you back on the show. Dr. Geyer cam Newton is among the players would been talked about a lot this week. He has a left midfoot sprain. That's how it's described. He sustained against New England, played games one and two of the regular season that knowing the game was going through the preseason.

By the way, and apparently reactivated it against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is going to miss Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. What can you tell me about what cam might be dealing with in regards to his injured foot.

Yeah, just grab me on potentially worrisome and you know, it sounds like you separate it is you say during preseason he got back to play okay but any time you have an injury of the midfoot in an that's an area disorder. If you think you're the arch of your foot those bones on the top of the arch of your foot. There's a lot of horse that goes through that party your foot with pushing off with running with jumping and the same injury more severe. Call the lives Frank injury and most of those in athletes actually need surgery. What were hoping here is that he just wrote a stretch to those supporting ligament from among all the bones in the arch of the foot, but that's a worrisome thing and you have to be very careful with it because you know if you actually get some movement between those bones because of ligament damage. It can actually lead to long-term issues, midfoot arthritis, as I think you have to be very careful with those that unfortunately when you say careful that can be week you and many week you surprised that cam tried to play week one in the first know it was mild again. That's what's hard not being involved but if it truly is mild where there's just sort of a stretch of those ligament maybe wear a boot for a week or two we are.

You just don't practice do normal walking, nonweightbearing or non-impact activity so no running and if it goes okay then I'm okay with it but the fact that it flared up again.

I think you might have to build a more cautious elsewhere in the Division III breeze is going to be missing six weeks approximately. He had surgery on his thumb on Wednesday.

Will Drew. Please be limited. When he returned six or seven weeks from now. Maybe early, but I actually don't think this is a bad injury long term because there's no risk of things like arthritis or anything like that. You just have to be careful not to let them do too much too soon. I don't think he'll do that in. I think a lot of that your people and seeing the picture of him that he posted on social media worries in a cath is trying to do, like a thumbs up.

I think that they're going to be appropriately cautious, you know, maybe starting week 45 will start motion and start grip, but I think you know six weeks is probably best case scenario. I think more like maybe 80 would not surprise me if they actually bring them back on the wind, thereby weekend sometime around that time frame 89 something like that but then long term it should have no real effect on him going forward about Ben Roth was Parker said this be something he returns from yet to know that at least to my knowledge, we've never had official confirmation of exactly what that is the writer for the athletic that covers the dealer I've known him for a long time. Mark Bali and he told me he's heard from people in the organization that they think it's the Tommy John injury that the owner collaterally went on the inside of the elbow that the pictures in baseball tend to suffer if that's the case that's a long rehab you're looking at about eight year before your throwing it hard and as well as you were before the injury, and sometimes it can be even longer than that, before you really look like the arm strength in all that you had before so you know what, 38 years old. That's a lot to ask but is something you can get back from if you really want to so I get it hard to know for sure because they haven't confirmed that based on what I've heard. At least that's what I would expect it is. Dr. Geyer is joining us here on sports on triad the book he wrote a few years ago that I strongly recommend picking up if you're interested in the subject matter. That's gotta hurt the injuries that team sports forever.

You can follow him on Twitter at DR David Geyer GEI ER. When I saw Andrew lock this completely defeated at his press conference, deciding to leave the sport and I see cam Newton the injuries he sustained over the last few years, some of which, with the broken ribs in the shoulder stuff these at it almost looks like injuries you would you would sustained in a car accident versus injuries you expect to see in sports, particularly basketball or in baseball. It has me asking fundamental questions about football that we constantly hear is safer with more knowledge and more treatment practices that doctors like you have tried and have worked successfully. But if we take the knowledge off the field in the way that we handle these injuries out of the equation and just examine the game. Are you convinced the game itself has gotten significantly safer.

No I think the rule changes that helped.

I think we got better equipment to a certain extent will never get completely safe helmet but there better.

I think that they're working to make you the turf safer. They keep trying new generations of artificial turf talked about putting even padding under that make if they pursuant a lot away. They are making it safer, but then you're also up again the opposite side of that guys are bigger and stronger and faster than they ever were a bit if you just go back and watch games you the highlights of games in the 60s and 70s the office of in defense of lineman were they were just compared to the guys now and so I think it were asking her for asking the rules directing the equipment to protect guys against way more violent force, much worse than they ever were before. So I'm not convinced that paper.

I think they are.

I do agree that the NFL is trying. I don't think that they're ignoring all this, but I question how safe you can make the sport especially when it comes to brain injuries. I just don't think you can make this completely safe that that's the nature of how the sport is played. Dr. Geyer appreciate your time. It's always welcome. An answer will be talking sometime soon. Yes no thanks for having me, and I've always loved doing the show I you the way forth the long, happy that their three you know this year. Always love talking to you and then call me anytime.

I'm telling you right now Dr. Geyer digs they got going on this year so if you're at a game let us know absolutely how my friend here are our Clinton fan on their topic game.

Maybe even the things not done anything at DR David Geyer to pick up his book. That's gotta hurt the injuries that team sports forever with Josh brand six 920 city stories reported. The NCAA is prepared to issue a notice of allegations detailing multiple major violations inside the Kansas men's basketball program NC State was the first of what's expected to be six major programs at least to be charged by the NCAA and dealt out notice.

Notices of allegation and the notice comes after just a full summer of speculation with the top NCAA official coming out publicly and saying that six schools are expected to be charged. I was Stan Wilcox who said that but all along. Kansas was mentioned in this. It shouldn't surprise anybody that they're getting a notice of allegations. With that said though, when you start looking at the facts and evidence were privy to. None of it absolutely 0% of this proves that Bill self new. There is plausible deniability with Bill self within college basketball and that coaching community. I could tell you that there are many college basketball coaches wife told me off the record that they know that can't Kansas has done shady stuff when it comes to recruitment for some stud players the last 10 years, but those are just allegation half that have hard-core evidence and less you're somebody like Louisville and Rick Patino who was already in a spot.

Things were uneasy prostitution style often other bad headlines that surrounded him. It made it very easy for Louisville to say enough with Rick Patino. I don't think Bill self is going to be outed. I don't think he's gonna be among the coaches who are in serious danger might be assistance involved is going to be people who allege Bill self new, but just like the academic state scandal never touched Roy Williams in North Carolina never to get back to him and there was plausible deniability.

There there is plausible deniability with Bill self and he doesn't have the track record in his background were Kansas feels compelled anyway to air quote do the right thing morally and move off of self. I find it puzzling that Stan Wilcox would say publicly. This is back in June that at least six schools would receive notice of allegations for level I in violation what benefit do you get from sand you saying that you're going to get some major program that feels like it's eliminating due process ahead of time. You're one of the sides that's trying to do things the right way, you are the but the good, the representing body of the sport you going out there publicly working to get some major programs. It stinks. NC State. They received the notice of allegations.

There were two level I infractions but they mainly focused on the coaches Mark Gottfried being the big name was now out of NC State is a Cal State Northridge you're left to believe that that's going to be the approach for other cases such as this year.

If that's the case, then they might be trying to go right at Bill self. But unlike some of the damning evidence surrounding Mark Gottfried what he allegedly did to get Dennis Smith Junior on campus. I don't quite hear with Kent. There's people out there was a yeah everybody was accused here. Let heads roll by God.

We need to get the corruption out of the sport. You also have to be able to prove it to and nothing's been leaked to the media that suggests Bill self new about the shady business. Kansas is alleged to have committed been involved with the FBI scandal, I can't help but feel that the FBI got me the NCAA there to find a way to mess this up there and figure out some way to stumble over themselves and nothing is going to happen to these top schools like Kansas and US USC since the state and only Kansas right that I got the notice, but there was six schools write the dates. I don't know we don't know the other schools are going to be, we can speculate and gas. The other was going to be right now all we know it's Kansas and it's insisting right now what it would what would you put odds wise.

110, 10 being highly likely in one thing not likely at all that Kansas get some sort of cans like unpunished. Kansas might get punished.

There might be fines. I doubt it would be a postseason band but I want it ruled that out. But I'd say there's less than a 5% chance Bill self gets punished in any way.

That's the part is always well to me when these types of things, head coaches get some time with the benefit of the doubt as to whether or not they knew what was happening within their program is usually think that if your head coach of the program you know when something is not right. It will be interesting are one of the charges.

The NCAA puts in this notice of allegation are one of them is one of the good be lack of institutional control because that is the heaviest crime.

The most substantial crime that the NCAA can levy and try to get North Carolina with that but they didn't put it in NC State's notice of allegation they specifically focus on Mark Gottfried and the individuals who were involved thinking that would probably serve as a deterrent, a better deterrent if you go after the name coaches that that would scare more people off from trying to recruit an improper way.

However, your point about the NCAA messing things up. They usually do, but in the past they never really had the same amount of resources that they have in this case because they didn't have subpoena power that the FBI in our government have so when this is all playing out in court with the FBI finds is then handed over to the NCAA laughter criminal investigations are completed most of the investigative legwork that the NCAA botches has botched in the past is now already completed and done so by the federal Bureau of investigation investigations in their name. So if anybody if there's any opportunity for the NCAA to get some coaches get some big and really can't lay the hammer down its here but we don't have that evidence you. That's the number one thing out of all of this, that if your Bill self or state, or any schools upcoming them. I didn't get notices. That's the one thing you should be worried about that. The FBI is behind a lot of the stuff that the NCAA is basing these notices on, they may very well have a recording.

Talk to a student or a potential we don't know. I feel like we would know. I don't know I'm enough yesterday keeping things themselves when they want really is. We we learned about alleged video or audio of the wiretap was Sean Miller that's out there. Allegedly that's out there like that he knew about a $100,000 payment to DeAndre Aiden. That's the coach I'm most worried about. I put Sean Miller into the same category as Rick Patino where so much. You get so much smoke that you say I don't want to deal with the same and if you look at what the Arizona Board of Regents is done right now they're standing behind him kind because unlike all these other coaches. Sean Miller was forceful in denying he was forceful say it's not true.

It's false in Arizona back then because the winning coach, but I believe the Board of Regents got a document signed an agreement that if anything else came down involving Sean Miller and that he's guilty of the crimes that he said he's innocent and he said so very forcefully that not only would Arizona be able to fire him with cold Sean Miller would then have to pay the score million dollars that something I came down last year. He's the one I'm interested to see if one of the six programs is Arizona will Arizona fight the same way Kansas will, maybe even NC State. Even though it seemed like the charges weren't as severe in the way they might affect NC State versus Kansas since many of the parties that are involved are no longer NC State, the Dir. of Athletics Danielle retiring and Mark Gottfried. Once again be in a Cal State Northridge to be at Appalachian State, North Carolina tomorrow 330 kicked.

Is this the most highly anticipated regular-season game and app state history. I'm not saying this games is important as the Michigan regular-season game was. I'm not saying that but the lead up for this game. It has things that the Michigan game did not in-state opponent right in your backyard. There's a 79 year drought that these teams have played each other. The last time Appalachian State shared a football field with North Carolina was 1940, and unlike the Michigan game. I don't care how big of an app state fan you are.

If you said you thought at state was going to beat Michigan in 2007 I'm not believe you it's one of the biggest upsets in the history of sport, that's all were looking at here.

There's a hope of winning theirs at state fans who are confident that they're going to beat the Tar Heels Saturday at 330 tomorrow at 330 Matt Brown's presence I think adds to the entry brought North Carolina back to relevance. Already it seems like through three games and is a former Appalachian State head coach 1983 he was the head coach at upstate for one year, but things were a little bit different. Back in 1983 than what they were what they are now with you.

I drink with leading things.

This is Mack Brown from earlier this week when I got there, we didn't have dealer cars state cars with check out with each class. They only allow 33 out-of-state players because it was too expensive out-of-state scholarship compared with in-state scholarship. I think are equipment manager was a student or trainer was a student or really really I think I was the SID we got there because our member try to put things together have immediate, but to see what that program has turned into his is just really really rewarding for me. Pretty neat to hear Mack Brown talking about his time in Boone. This game matters more to Appalachian State, but I think North Carolina should when it got a better coach. This is you I drink which is first gig is an FBS head coach first game is playing on the road head roof. What he did defensively in Charlotte left you wanting a lot more for the mountaineers, allowing 41 points at home. Not good.

Better resources in Chapel Hill more raw talent home field for the Tar Heels. I think North Carolina is going to win the game
