0:10Welcome! Sam, Donald, and Jason have a Christmas gift for you… a new podcast! 2:15Donald attended the Tenn. St game and gives us a quick review of some of the changes Cameron has undergone recently 5:00Time to quickly talk about the actual games against Tenn State and Elon, two games where the post-exam malaise really stood out 8:50We continue to avoid talking about Grayson Allen, but still express real concerns about team chemistry. Luke Kennard’s post-Elon game comments scare the heck out of us 11:30Jason is worried… are we cursed? How can we be this good and yet this worried? 15:45Sam says it is time to talk about Grayson Allen! Did we really procrastinate for 15 minutes before we got to this? 18:45Donald says the media deserves more than a little bit of blame for blowing this out of proportion 21:45Jason talks about Grayson’s reaction on the bench and that Grayson knew at that moment how much he had just lost and how this tripping incident will stick with him FOREVER! 28:00We all feel K was right to impose an “indefinite suspension” and we hope the team will come together and bond over their collective struggles 37:20Amateur psychiatrist time… we think the “phantom foul” controversy may have caused Grayson to boil over against Elon 43:40Time for UNC and the latest on the cheating scandal. 24 words have sealed Carolina’s fate 51:25We can’t believe the hubris of the UNC AD for his pathetic defense and Jason just rips him, “Bubba Cunningham, have you no shame?!?!?!” 53:45Donald can’t believe how long this whole thing is taking and feels it is so unfair to current Carolina students and players who will bear the brunt of this punishment 59:30Jason says harsh penalties are coming and Donald says UNC is going to sue the NCAA 1:04:00Time to wrap things up with Christmas presents for the Duke team. Jason gifts health to the team, Donald’s present is Luke Kennard continuing to shoot lights out all season long, and Sam’s gift is a massive blow out of Virginia Tech to set the tone for the ACC season 1:08:15Jason brings it all full circle, he reflects on the last time it felt like Duke was cursed… and how that season turned out 1:10:05Sam says good bye as the Duke band plays us out
