I have no place on the way from work. Whatever you may be feeling with your wife.

I know we've got college ball tonight will certainly get the data in a second, but one of the saddest triad sports stories I can remember in the last two decades just got a little bit sadder today. The teenager who killed Chris Paul's grandfather all those years ago was stabbed to death in a Food Lion parking lot last night. Now, your first reaction to this might be good riddance, or to dismiss anybody who takes another human life and that's understandable. I'm not gonna say that sentiment is not legitimate.

However, let's not forget that Darrell Bray boy was 15 years old when he and four other teenagers were arrested. This is all heartbreaking. There's nothing positive you take away from this story and I'm somebody who probably isn't the best reference point on what things were like when this happened in 2002 at the time I was literally living just outside the city of Wake Forest rather than Winston-Salem and adjacent to Wake Forest University like I am right now. Desmond were at UNC Greensboro. Probably when this was happening in November 2002.

Do I have that right.

Yes, I was a junior at UNCG and I was actually living in Greensboro the time.

Do you remember how big it was around here because being just outside the triangle. It was something back that I remember was massive and it wasn't just regional. It was nationally to because it's all tied up in one of the premier players to ever live in this area and one of the premier athletes who still going right now and Chris Paul. When people think sports around here they think basketball and specifically college basketball and Chris Paul just might be the very best one to come from here. Just my recollection of it from back then in 2002 was that the community Winston-Salem in particular was very hurt by the suddenness of it not so much because it was Chris Paul's grandfather, but to be honest at the time. Chris Paul's grandfather was more well-known in the and went to seminary and Chris Paul ran a service shop. They understand the timeline tires and timeline as I remember it in 2002 CP three he signs a letter of intent to go to Wake Forest and it's the excellent feel-good story that everybody wanted the kid who grew up in Clemens is going to play for Wake Forest is a five star player at a school that very rarely lands five star talent even though they've had Tim Duncan and many other great players come across into the program, Skip Prosser, he got CP three to come to Wake Forest. It was a feel-good story until it wasn't the day after was when this happened Nathaniel Jones was his name 61 years old and he was killed at 61.

Five days later you might just remember it and it's been mythologized. I think a lot. It's probably good to be the story that people in this county or in Forsyth County talk about for decades on end, pretending or saying that they were in that Jim in the gym the night and 2002 Chris Paul late in the game with less than two minutes left to go scores a basket with a foul and he knows he has 61 points and decides to intentionally miss the free-throw as a tribute to his 61-year-old grandfather who was murdered just day before days before it is amazing how some of the best memories we have some of the most meaningful. I should probably set memories we have in sports often respond from tragedy when you think about George Bush going to pitch in the after 9/11 and that World Series and the feeling around here when that happened that's something that sticks out and around here that Chris Paul's story is something were talking about in 2019. Because of how good of a player.

He ended up being sure, but also what he did.

Five nights after the tragedy, and it lining up with 61 points in that kind of athletic performance is R motion test that week.

Of course, because again there were a lot of people in community that were very very close to Nathaniel Jones. We was at Chris Paul's grandfather. He went out of his way to help a lot of people in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. He was very well known here in community and Chris Paul.

I mean, he's part owner of the – he still very vital body Winston-Salem journals done an excellent job reporting the story of something that is still developing as we speak. Apparently they don't have anybody as a suspect at the moment they're still trying to track that down police and Winston-Salem are this happened where Walker Town Rd., Food Lion. There was a is the Food Lion shopping center off of new Watertown Road. It's a Wednesday night, I found that once or twice a week. I'm in the parking lot every week integrated will. That's something that's happening as we speak and I'm sorry we start things off on such a sour note. But it is happy thinking about regionally and Heck, even nationally, things that happened around here just how big that story was 16 years ago tonight we have cleansing and Georgia Tech ACC network 8 o'clock working to be hanging out after the show at kickback jacks. I guess around 7 o'clock because I'll be there watching Panthers dealers preseason game number four and there's other college football being played. Aside from this game featuring the number one tigers and what many people believe to be the worst team in the ACC Jeff Collins taking over for Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech so feel free to come out say hello were to be given away a pair of tickets to North Carolina Wake Forest in a couple of weeks that Friday night game on February on September 13 were gonna be giving away a couple tickets to that. Also, we will have a couple of kickback jacks gift cards that you can win as well so we have a lot of fun in store for you. It's something we wanted to do because every circle time.

We did live shows out on location.

I never really get an opportunity to meet many of the listeners and that's every time we go out there there's always 12345 different people who come out say hey we listen to the show every day and just want to talk sports. Quite frankly, and there just isn't time allotted for that were doing the show live on location so we thought this would be a neat idea.

It's a watch party for Clemson Georgia Tech but also the Carolina Panthers are going to be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers to and this could be other college football on his well so it's the new Garden Road location kickback jacks. We hope to see you a little bit later on tonight.

I'm looking at the point spread and it says 37 points still for Georgia Tech and Clint cleansing is a 37 point favorite over the Georgia Tech yellow jackets. This is a hot take. It shouldn't be a hot take because this is power five football it's ACC football but I don't think Georgia Tech is going to lose by more than 37 points. I'm on Georgia Tech tonight, Friday, I give away my pics, my pics were very strong last year against the spread.

But here's a free one Georgia Tech +37 tonight. Clemson, they very well might be the best team in America. I'm not going to dispute that Georgia Tech they might be the worst team in the ACC but it's game one, there's no preseason in college football. We saw this last weekend. Miami had a new coach my knees working in a new quarterback Florida had all the returning talent continuity with Dan Mullen going into your two there the top 10 ranked team in the country and it's just a slot for its sloppy and Miami's hanging in the football game and they probably should've won the football game. Now, Miami has a lot more talent than Georgia Tech does. But by principal, 37 points in the power five. It seems like a lot for week one.

Georgia Tech still has some good players on the roster players who stuck around from last year Georgia Tech was 75 in the regular season a year ago now to difference game. It's different head coach. That's the reason why everybody's down Georgia Tech running the triple option and now you expect these players to run a different kind of offense altogether and still have success pass on that. Still, the football players right so players can help of Georgia Tech and have great pro careers. Despite playing in the triple option.

Stephen Hill was okay at wide receiver. Just a few years ago Calvin Johnson is the prime example of this. They produce these wide receivers out of the system so I'm not demand just because you're playing in the triple option doesn't mean you can't play a different kind of offense, not because it is an incredible football team, but 80 or so with the players or underclassmen. They lost 36 Letterman from last year those players were still on the roster. There's 80 or so underclassmen. They are still immensely talented players just an experience which means if Clemson is going to lose this year in the regular season. It's got to happen weeks two or three Texas A&M, then maybe you knock them off the D line hasn't quite figured it out and maybe Kelly Mann can have some success. Syracuse in week three. Syracuse bring a lot back if it's not one of those two games once again around the table in the regular-season, but early on is a chance the guys are in sharp and if the reserves are and and it's a blowout. I think that's were Georgia Tech to maybe get a few scores a backdoor cover.

The sucker Georgia Tech +37 tonight bucket. Your thoughts are welcome.

336-777-1600 on Twitter at sports of dryad Joe while was good to be with us in today show. It's the last time were to have Joe on the season last week of Winston-Salem that is a get in your movie lines now on Twitter at sports of riots and those in will and Winston-Salem has a thought on this Chris Paul grandfather story that has a sad development today with one of the kids involved in the murdering of Nathaniel Jones being murdered himself stabbed in a parking lot last night will what you have for we are not reported, it would outgrow their order to recall preprogrammed court of New York apparel cultural he worked on throughout my. It was chaotic. It would and I would predict every Eric already had all part pictures that would get a newspaper shop." If you think great football gave me a check for thousand dollars and a manageable lot when I heard whatever goal bracket will forward all opposite government out there and on the thank you so much for listening well appreciate you sharing your thoughts today. Dry brought to you in part by her friends at pie guys pizza and more.

Try the grand slam pizza you guys know the deal. If you been listening any period of time, like will has apparently try the grand slam with the Texas Pete base chicken and bacon on top.

It's delicious, or they have many other options, depending on what you like with pizza Stan cotton the voice of the Dick's was handed hanging on studio just a few weeks ago and he took one bite of the grand slam and said it was too hot. But then again he thinks Texas Pete is too hot so there's a lot of other options.

Stan he is a Stan for pie guys pizza and he makes it known, but not just is not about the hot stock is not real and was scared of listeners is not like it when you Diablo super spicy type of joint, albeit if I had my choice only beyond their we make that happen, but I don't try to sell this thing and apparently they do sell a lot of snow order on my pie guys.com located in the Kinnaman Village Commons right off of Louisville. Clemens Road coming up three things to watch for tonight in college football that have nothing to do with Clemson. This is the drive live with Josh Graham at AM 609 20 with parent from the David Lynch film I want you to tell me which of these popular sports topics matters leaf preseason football. The draft combine college football, a people or the NBA regular season with one matters leaf man this is tough because there's really only one that doesn't matter much what matters. The NBA regular season doesn't really matter yet. I'm sorry. That's what it does that's in that sport.

No it doesn't. It certainly does not matter in the games played so differently in the playoffs than it is the regular-season that the games that are played in the regular-season that the teams are good it does it often translate the postseason.

When you look at, say, the raptors before Kawai Leonard arrived all those years that they were number one and number two in the East and the Milwaukee Bucks learning very quickly that games are played differently in the Houston Rockets seemingly every year.

Learning that the games played differently when they got to the point. There are always injuries that impact the playoffs saving the reason for all, but are there. Always, always yeah sometimes there are and it stinks for teams but I mean there there are very very rare occasions in NFL preseason football were an injury like changes the complexion of the season at Laura. Okay, so if you take MBA regular-season off the board then you delete your leave college football AP poll. The draft combine and preseason football.

Which of these things all of which are drummed up which one matters lease carries the least amount of substance II hate the amount of attention that we give the draft combine but I see its utility. I think a minute ago with preseason football because they repeat again with the top 25 in similar fashion. I hate how it's used, but it is used in preseason football is just is just worthless it is. It's on the mount Rushmore up popular sports topics that simply doesn't matter. The NFL is King. August is a content wasteland and when you look at what we cover during preseason camp big stories. Most of them aren't stories in September. Most holdouts get resolved all the stuff with Zeke Elliott you still see guys like Jay Glazer putting up on the athletic today that he still expects them to play. Week one and the cowboys still believe that to so most holdouts get resolved. Don't matter much. There are exceptions like Lady on Bell last year.

Most injuries, as you might only happen much in the games is much as they do in practice and most of the players who play in preseason.

They were going to be major contributors in the regular-season, so I might say preseason football but man the draft combine is completely useless and it might be the bane of my existence. I think the coverage of it is even more useless because we get one step further away from its actual purpose right mean scouts if scouts are doing their jobs. They're not talking about the same stuff that were talking about coming out over combine like hopefully hopefully they know more about how to evaluate a player and an edit draft combine and we do so there there digging a little bit deeper then than 40 times or stupid stuff like that. We analyze until until something else comes along that does matter that we can talk about. So again I see its purpose. But in an indirect way. The way we use it is way dumber than it's been it's actually used. Hopefully Joan Giles final appearance this year will be in just a little bit the voice of the Winston-Salem – will take movie lines from you. The audience that you can send in on Twitter at sports on triad. Speaking of movies Darren text me this last night.

I'm looking at my phone. I'll read you verbatim what Darren text me, can I get self-esteem by the offspring as a bump appreciation as heard that on the way in and were absolutely sharing about pretty woman, it's a crime you never seen it but I'm glad you did last night I watched pretty woman for the first time.

It's a movie that was my mom's favorite movie, it still might be my mom's favorite movie. Now I see why so many times in my childhood.

She quoted things from this movie that I now am realizing that our quote pretty woman. So today is a pretty big day of my life. Why is this a big deal.

Do you it's one of the great love stories of our time and I'm not gonna lie. Josh, it might be.

It might be not like I did into addictive the mode sometimes well I'll be like it's it's what sports radio life in sports radio has done to me. I'm like constantly anything that I encounter in life. It has to be a top five are a top 10 I have to write it. I have to rank pretty woman might be top 10 for me film of all time. Actually, it might be no might be here to deliver take some here to qualify why I say things the way I do and in the form of maybe top 10 maybe not top 10 and then say it what what you promise to take the top 10 movie of all time in all genres like everything, no, sorry dude, I don't let myself into the superhero camp and that occupies my top 30 you later work because words visited oversaturated market. I sorry I can't judge US in big trouble. John was the best movie of all time like this earlier this week, so there to guide you, ma'am Roxie, do you want a few observations from somebody huge. I would love your Julia Roberts is magic and once he is ideations.

There are two women I've ever watched on screen and then just immediately fell in love with them watching a movie and Julia Roberts in this movie is one of those prostitute Mike Chase and is a prostitute with a gold gold not forget that. But like how how they made us fall in love with Julia Roberts. Upon watching this film. We've all been there. Incredible if open, where I think he once wrote a song about I don't know if this movie gets made in 2019.

If the if it does, it's probably to be a lot darker like sinister and probably doesn't have the happy ending of spoiler alert Siri open voice memos that Richard and her idea pretty woman remake that's in the cassettes of the hopper here in my life. The fire escape to save the day as the knight in shining armor. The other woman that did this for me is Keira Knightley. I believe both Julia Roberts and Kiera Knightley smiles can cure diseases. I believe that yeah I was last time you met of Vivian wow are we making Vivian's anymore. I don't think we are making Franks either talk about this with someone the other week. Vivian, what other names are we not making anymore of this great Sharon Edna all that's a good one.

Nobodies have indicated Gertrude's wrists. One of the guys name still making riches yeah no is simple were like biblical that enriches a way to shorten Richard.

There are plenty of Richards around 336-777-1600. What names are we not using anymore.

I'm still kind of amazed that you guys are just now found pretty woman walking out to me on this train for a long time. It looks enough like I was really excited really is an exciting moment.

I also like the best thing that's happened to Josh this year like this calendar year.

Breakfast at Tiffany's as a movie. I really like so watching breakfast at Tiffany's and then also then watching this movie and CAB influences their it's very cool really is. So I am all in on pretty woman and Julia Roberts a big fan of that so I went to your other names though that were not really using anymore like I was the victim Winston's goal.

Winston you with them block will versus 10 Wilbur my will. Wilbur is an interesting link is there plenty of wills William but are they short for Wilbur yeah my never walked down the street that's like Pat like a pig. Obviously, that you could name a dog. Wilbur, my wife Jan is listening in the car and she contributed Earl and Mary wow Mary still Earl areas are still around Earl's a great one.

Yeah how who's the most recent like the Frank name of Frank right now that young Frank Manila Frank was still at it right is only Frank Barton and that's it. I got I think Martin at South Carolina and that's it. I defy you to tell me another Frank that mattered from literally scared to type and print famous Franks into Google. I don't know back probably hot dog stands get your mind out of the gutter or hot sauce research is research were going into the screenwriting business as you get older one Jeffrey Gore I'm wrong I just stick the element. The out-of-print suites in Myrtle Apfel, Donna, Fred and Jim for men written Jim Giuliani Jim to make a comeback, there's a lot of basic people that only love the office and watch that show. So this could be a lot of Jim's the backward, you're right. That's that's true right the offices Basie offices become the cappuccino at Starbucks. That's what it's become so tragic because great show as someone who wisely watch it when it was on TV and I don't look like I don't watch shows that come on at a certain time on television. It's against my religion. I just don't do it. I don't lit network TV run my life that way. Doug Gottlieb millennial over here so but I was I was one of those that watch to the office from the very get-go.

When I was on board immediately and call me a hipster for saying that I was I was on board immediately loved the office.

I claimed like five years ago.

It was like my favorite comedy of the show likes sitcom comedy with Accurate residence but anyways it's kind of ashamed that it's become like the basic thing. If a funny thing that we should do. Yes, that right there.

I'm sorry, I accidentally hit the clip and stop it works backwards Doug Gottlieb ever done Doug Gottlieb's mentioned on the show.

We definitely have to play this clip was owned by Wurtzel. In fact, scooter was something that we talked about yesterday. If somebody comes up to Jackson Cosby scooter. I give you a buy you beer give opening now.

I'm also can add shorts on backwards if somebody says that to me it's a it's a keyword for you to get beverages is going down tonight tonight source owned by Wurtzel backwards. Join us for watch party Clemson and Georgia Tech. Also, the paper presents the new Garden Road location in Greensboro where to be throwing movie lines one last time this year at the voice of the – Joe whilst in the men with the pride it's next on the drop source owned by Wurtzel backwards.

Let's talk about this is 620 Drive with Josh Graham hired the your Sharon the Nickelback All-Stars immediately.

The best way we have to explain what it is we've been doing all year and one of the most popular segment on Monday show were not looking for the best players in major league baseball in the 2000 when Nickelback was a popular band even though they're not a good man, but we are looking for memorable Nickelback certainly is memorable. We need to figure out a template for what were to do here. Or at least we need to set some ground rules for how this is going to go because I believe I want to put my team up against the team that Darren has put together. We haven't talked about which players were going to have so there's a chance there could be overlap here all though. I hope there isn't. And I think that is I think we I give you we we name each position one through nine, three outfielders and a picture of a duly designated hitter should be to the designator that yeah I feel like my designated hitter is there is an actual right to my success, and a DH and Dez will tell us after each one which ones more Nickelback, but a lot of this possibility and then we could put it up on social media and then let the audience decide themselves all right. Let's start with catcher Darren Wenger first, I will happily go first.

I think it's fitting that this guy this hematite be a topic see them doing it again he might be a top five Nickelback of major league baseball of the Philadelphia Phillies. Mike Lieber thought okay so you got Mike Lieber thought, and I think I think we have the office to blame for the his bump in in Nickelback nests because he's Dwight fruits bobble head Mike loser laws good.

I'm gonna match your Mike Lieber thaw with from the Atlanta Braves Johnny Estrada who not bad man. We left some good ones on the tidbits I had such a hard time.

I agonized over these decisions. I did so I have a piece of paper and there's about eight names on each position.

I've got a big board and it's it's massive right was Johnny Estrada on your big bore because I don't Mike Lieber thaw my he was, but I also have Brad Smith had written down okay. I had Lieber thaw was a close victory. Paul LoDuca was just to hear Paula Duke and Dez where you going, where you really Mike Lieber thaw. He added the office note in their I got brace catcher Johnny Estrada.

Well, kids. We were follows a two-time All-Star gold glove winter.

Estrada was a one time All-Star in a silver slugger, but he also played for six teams during his career would go Estrada I don't but did not abuse, not immortal in the form of Dwight fruits bobble head and get educated and also Johnny Bravo was big in the 2000 Johnny Estrada. I mean, I'm all about guys name Johnny let's go to first base restored Johnny's right. Doug became rich. That's my first basement to Walden. There was really no other way.

David love at work about alerting basement both left second base. Darren you go first Atlanta Braves Marcus Giles.Marcus Giles is drawn you guys just become best friends. Shortstop I know you don't have my shorts 00 on hill, now I know she's yeah I deserve whatever I have.

Former Golden spikes award winner and Clemson Tiger absolute bust.

The little green little green skier I knew only too well that I wanted them to play. I II submitted shortstop so that I could squeeze Khalil Greene on my okay so I am up to do nothing. He already submitted so well on hill hello it is a great like when we list these on twitter. I wanted to be able to say kind of guidance and will reply back there in both third-base but I got a feeling as though keeping track of art work we have our teams written down, telling me and Darren have the same third-base, but I really feel like we do here. No way I'm so, I feel that we can save at the same time to be the same person. I don't know. I feel like I initially thought of the guy that I think that you have but I chose differently never go by let's not start out.Oakland athletic Eric Chavez stop. That's not who you have given that it with Seattle Mariners got the video Scott's got the video looks like a member go back to our species.

No could have qualified for a number of different positions here. Yeah I was I faced the same problem with Brandon in yeah so I bought Brandon and Joe for our tillage estate will just say how easy it was on my big board, but he didn't come close to getting third-base yeah I didn't have child Isaac and that's a really good choice. That's what you think. Well Chavez only play third-base speedy exit play first, second and third Just establish that yeah so retarded I was ever knee-deep in fact that you take it useless as a more Nickelback could go Chavez I got horse you are using is lucky accomplish less law actually series a lawyer up to the one I'm still up to the one on Darren, but we gotta go to the outfield effect to make this one category three outfielders three outfielders you're getting a three outfielders figure out which ones better here. My three outfielders on the Chavez Aaron Roland and Xavier need that's not bad. I saw the video of Roland is a member of the Phillies, running into the wall granite is iconic cats that he was great for the Giants to Aaron Rowen there and on the Chavez probably had one of the greatest postseason catches of the 2000 they lost that in LCS to the Cardinals at 2006, but he had to catch Satterfield also this is an aside, I wanted to make sure someone on my list played for the Montréal Expos and Artie Chavez is the guy I I think I'm getting murdered here while I think I am wow grow all right. We have a very diverse outfield to this that is that I've compiled outfielders. That's great Japanese hitting champion Matt Merton, formerly of the Chicago Cubs and also the ginger is Japanese now is not Japanese. He is the Japanese league.

I went over this document over Matt Merton's really good Matt Merton Coco crisp wow MVP. If we do the Nickelback's lead to probably the MVP and my third outfielder who made number 99 cooled before it became involved with Aaron Judge MN read years so to duty so to go to doesn't do anything for me.

I know I know there is no real way so Taguchi doesn't do anything or go croc Coco crisp is so corrupt is so strong a minute give it to Darren. Now you say you Coco crisp only when the whole batch that even new shame that you feel that way to to the score. I feel like that we have got Gordon picture later starting pitcher and I got a 90 was starting pitcher. I don't have a reliever.

I prepared a reliever, but that's okay okay whatever lever is a tiebreaker if we tie while I like feel the tension right. I'm going pitcher, you go first disappoint you down.

This may be the most predictable on my list yeah think of the creditor.

Bronson allow you to. I'm not here for my team to like defeat yours on the baseball field. Okay so I think it's good to come down to the designated actually.

We have three of the same players so you're constructing a team to beat his team.

No women were selected team records. Dez and Bronson Arroyo put out a covers album you did in the early 2000's.

I owned it right like he could be of an acoustic guitar, he played Stone Temple pilots Google dolls and the verve pipe and it was awful, but man I love that I owned. I was jamming to freshman by the verb pipe earlier today.

That's only covered designated hitter.

I want to hear that the segment does. Could you find Bronson Arroyo covering the verb pipe freshman designated hitter is going to decide this this entire year of us doing Nickelback's for the 2000 even though that's kind of redundant Nickelback's major-league baseball.

That's what were doing here designated hitter is going to decide this because we are at odds. We are attitude to deadlock tie at the moment and I'd be stunned if we have the same designated hitter all started off designated hitter Dimitri Young who that's good that's good actually have a Dimitri Young bobble head over at my office space randomly. If not, I'm not a Dimitri Young families with the nationals and not a national spam but there Dimitri Young not to be confused with Delmon Young correct all right by designated hitter is been mentioned already, which I think should should add some points. No talking to this that and I bet you're talking to desk to be Bronson Arroyo's complaint, rhythm guitar and be our lead vocalist the basest on my Nickelback's major-league baseball team. Also, my designated hitter. Scott's mesial whole wow away. Can you do that wow you just as he owes his designated hitter. That's what he's doing. Dimitri Unger, Scott's PCL will wait no I had ordered all but there did you find Bronson Arroyo covering the verb pipe. This will be your celebrations on Darren, like around the horn. You have 30 seconds. You have 30 seconds to let us know how you feel you have Bronson we need to get Bronson Arroyo sick but it also got a song called dirty water on their Kevin below are provides backup vocals.

So great is this a thousand. This is supposed to be this what is this freshman by who runs Arroyo incorrectly did an acoustic version. I'm telling you man like 15-year-old may blasted that stuff in my Walkman. Congratulations Darren this game.

I'm trying to stall as well as I can, trying to do as at time to do something that's just utterly ridiculous saline my favorite bedding. I verb pipe that Bronson Arroyo.

My favorite thing about the cover album is that he he laid off his first track on it was slide by the Google dolls, which is another baseball play on words. Obviously it's called covering the bases which is actually really funny because that's the name of the USA baseball podcast that I I'm amazing you notice a white man.

All right, Darren. Figure 30 seconds it's your family, dammit – just blast this I don't need my 30 seconds. These goodies belong to Bronson will mean I cannot really remember. We will lie God.

Bronson got me into the verve pipe is actually not terrible what is happening.

I love that you cover this album to be sitting at Fenway committees on top of the dugout. You can tell that it's definitely Fenway.

He's wearing like a like a paisley button up shirt there with one one-button too many unbuttoned got his cornrows graduations on your way. This is been a fun year of Nickelback. Thanks man. I was basking in the Bronson Arroyo verve pipe magic. I can't think of a better way to send us out. Arroyo singing freshman by by Wake Forest or Appalachian State football who's better to you next
