| 0:00.0 | Another one. Another super chat from Nikki. Thank you for the super chat. Don't know if you remember. |
| 0:21.6 | I sent you the idea for a T-shirt a while back. That is my present for you, and it came out awesome. What do you guys, what lot do you guys tailgate in so I can meet up with you guys? Joyce Lott is where we're hoping to be this weekend. But I don't remember, Nikki. I'm sorry. I'll go back and look through my emails, but I do appreciate it very much, very much. |
| 0:45.3 | From Tristan Schaup, what is NC State lacking? Why do they underperform? Is it coaching? |
| 0:51.5 | I mean, I think they still don't have the talent of some of the teams they lose to. |
| 0:54.9 | They don't have the talent of Notre Dame and Clemson and Floor State most years and Miami most years. |
| 1:00.8 | Their talent is such that they should be winning eight, nine games regularly, |

| 1:29.9 | And I don't think they're good enough in the lines consistently enough. |
| 1:34.4 | Now, they've had some lines in years where they were really good. |
| 1:36.8 | Their 2017 defensive line was outstanding. |
| 1:40.3 | But they're just not consistently good enough in the trenches, in my opinion. |
| 1:44.5 | And I think they've often, you talked about the secondary, I think that's an error they're |
| 1:48.4 | often lacking in high-level players. |
| 1:53.7 | Agreed. |
| 1:56.9 | Another one from Tristan. |
| 1:58.0 | Did Billy Napier delay the inevitable with his upset win over Texas? |
