Let's head out to the Rood guest hotline,

Rude, the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV. We welcome in Mark Packer, former ACCC network host. Mark, how are you? How is retirement treating you, my friend? Hopefully we're not. Well, it's different. I've got to be honest with you. You know, I watch games now completely different. It used to be,'m constantly taking notes and thinking of an off-be things to get into for the week. Now I just put my feet up with a bourbon and don't care. I mean, completely don't care. So life's pretty good. I've got to be honest with it. Just one bourbon? No, it's one bourbon per possession. That's all about taste. That's funny.

Well, obviously,

Carolina, we're going to get to a couple of ACC teams here, but Carolina, that was the big, it was the big island game last night, and everyone was talking about Belichick. Sonny Dyke said after the game, no one respected us. All they talked about was Belichick. So we just felt like we had to go out and prove something. They did.

Carolina obviously has a bunch of new guys, a bunch of new players.

Lopez looked terrible.

Your thoughts on that outcome, because that did surprise me.

4814 did surprise me.

Well, first of all, Sunny Dykes was a trillion percent right.

And all you had to do is watch the first hour of the ESPN pregame where everything was a, you know, let's just slob over about Belichick. And listen, when he was hired back in December, I said North Carolina's going to become the new college football reality show, and it has. Yeah. And people were going to watch North Carolina and couldn't even find it on the map,

but because of Bill Belichick, all of a sudden you're going to say, hey, how do they do this

weekend? So it's a whole new atmosphere, stratosphere for eyeballs on North Carolina football.

And when you bring in 70 new guys, sporting the transfer portal, 30 and recruiting, I mean,

it's going to take some time. And if you only watched the opening possession last night of that game and turned it off. Yep. If you only watched the opening possession and you saw North Carolina go down, six plays, whatever it was, touchdown, and you turned it off and went to bed. And you woke up this morning, he said, hey, what was the final score, 4814?

He said, well, that Carolina team looks really good.

You know, so, again, it's one game you can't go too crazy.

The good news for North Carolina is that the ACC gave them an unbelievable schedule.

I mean, they get a chance to avoid Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech, SMU, and Louisville.

I would make the case that that is five of the six best teams in the league that you at least would assume after one week of football,

Clemson being the other one I threw in there, and they have to play the Tigers next month.

So the schedule could not be any easier, but the performance last night was abysmal, and I know

with Carolina fans are bummed out, but again, it's one week they get Charlotte and I think Richmond
