Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports, your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host Tommy Ashley. I'm joined by Buck Sanders, Greg Barnes, and Jason Staples.

You're listening to the Inside Carolina podcast.

Gentleman Football Roundtable, 2019 schedule was released on Wednesday, and we're going to talk about it.

And I'm going to start with Greg Barnes.

How we'll do this is we'll go back and forth, debate, whatever we want to talk about.

Each person can pick a game or two that they feel is the most important on the schedule.

And you know me, they're all must wins.

Greg, your overall thought when you saw the schedule come out earlier on Wednesday.

Well, and watching kind of how everything had played out with other teams scheduling

for non-conference games, speaking about ACCC teams, we knew coming in to Wednesday that

the second game of the season, or the second weekend of the season,

September 7th, was one of two options.

It was a bi-week or it was Miami.

And the reason why is because every other team that UNC was scheduled to play

had a game scheduled for September 7th.

And my concern was that they're going to give North Carolina a week on September 7th,

which I think would just be horrible.

This is a 14 week season this year.

So you're going to have two buys.

And I guess some people could say, well, you know, if you have a buy after that first game,

it gives you time to kind of recalibrate and make sure you have things where you want them moving forward.
