Welcome to your Thursday, October 9th edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim O'Malley, joined by Tim Priester, Vyrish Illustrated, Pete Sampson, the Athletic,

and John Bryce of Football Scoop, hopefully a few handfuls of loyal listeners across the nation guys

and North Carolina State, now a 23.5 point underdog, making it a tough line on which to wager,

if you think the Wolfpack have a chance, even for three quarters.

Before we break down this game, though, we should touch on Marcus Freeman's 12 minutes with the local media via Zoom.

Pete Sampson, I think the news of Jaden Greathouse being out instead of questionable to thigh injury. Not part of the podcast, but part of the press release.

I did not expect an official out on Thursdays.

No, that was surprising to me as well.

For something that was questionable last weekend to go to out was a bit surprising.

So I guess he was, frankly, yeah pre games last week but still um that you know it's there it's not a deep

receiver room at all um they've got four they had four really really really good

receivers I thought now they have three.

So it's like, I think you're fine without Greyhouse.

It's like if you lost another guy, then sort of stuff starts to break down maybe a little bit. But yeah, it's a frustrating season continues for Jayden Grayhouse for sure.

You also don't have a tight end other than Eli Rairdon you go to if you do lose another receiver. You have to make sure a fifth receiver right now. It's clearly Micah Gilbert would be the one they would go to, TP. I don't think. I don't think you can argue KK.K. Smith is ahead of Michael Gilbert in any way. No, he did get, he got a little run last week.

But, you know, you talk about Great House. I mean, a vast majority of his career has been frustrating. You know, I know we have a question about him in the second segment. We'll deal with it then. But, yeah, Pete, you're right. I mean, it's not, it's not real deep right now. Things look great when cars throwing a ball into fingertips all the time and everybody's, you know, catching passes, not dropping passes and everything's efficient, but it just takes one, you know, one play for one player or, you know, maybe two players in a game or something.

Now you're in, you're in a bit of trouble.

But, uh, yeah, the great house thing, I mean, being out, could this have evolved in beyond injury or what, what are we talking about here?

Well, you have to ask it because it's game four.

He's played game four.

Um, he hasn't played game five.
