Roundtable: 2025 UNC Football Over/Under Show Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

North Carolina will officially open a new era on the football field in less than three weeks. The talk, hype and speculation will cease and the definitive facts will play out over 60 minutes against the TCU Horned Frogs on Sept. 1. But first, the Inside Carolina crew gets on the record and Greg Barnes looks to continue his dominance of the numbers in Tuesday night’s Over/Under podcast. The crew debates how the numbers will shake out in Bill Belichick’s first campaign in Carolina. A special shoutout to the IC subscribers that submitted their picks for the show.

Special: Bomani Jones Talks Tar Heels Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

Bomani Jones has turned a Page Two writing gig with ESPN.com into a full-fledged sports media career, and it all started after he finished his MA at UNC, one of his three degrees. He joins host (and friend of twenty years) Joey Powell, to dig into all sorts of delectable UNC sports discussion. The two talk everything from Carolina basketball and Hubert Davis's role to Mack Brown's unceremonious exit from Chapel Hill, and even get a little bit of "The Wire" discussion in to gloss over one of their favorite topics of all time.

Special: Field Hockey Preview: Matson, UNC Look to Return to the Top Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

Elite college athletic programs on the campus of North Carolina are plentiful and, to paraphrase legendary Dean Smith, Carolina is a women's sport school. Field Hockey in Chapel Hill is as good as it gets and, under head coach Erin Matson, the Tar Heels look to continue the run started by Karen Shelton decades ago. Heading into year three, Matson's team, while returning experience and star power, will add in new faces in key roles as the goals and standards stay the same. Matson discusses this team and her path with Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley and Grace Nugent.
