Inside Carolina football analyst Jason Staples joins Tommy Ashley to break down North Carolina's home opener against East Tennessee State on Saturday in Kenan Stadium. The Tar Heels are a heavy favorite against the visiting Buccaneers but Bill Belichick's team cannot discount the explosive offense and talented skill players on that side of the ball and the individual matchups should make for interesting theater on Saturday.
Staples breaks down his keys to success - beyond the scoreboard - both defensively and on offense where Carolina spent much of their win over TCU doing just enough to maintain and ultimately win that game in Ireland. Efficiency in the passing game from Billy Edwards, Jr. and getting as many players across the roster quality snaps will be items to watch for as UNC looks to go 2-0 on the season.

North Carolina's 2026 baseball season ended on the last possible day in Omaha and while the ending was not what UNC fans wanted, the experiences gained from those players that return in 2027 cannot be measured.
Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley and Spencer Haskell sat down with sophomore pitcher Jackson Rose for a lengthy interview that covered all the bases for the lefty, from walking out on the mound and starting that national championship game, to his summer and work to improve to what he expects from this year's squad as they get deeper into fall practice.

Inside Carolina basketball analyst Rob Harrington joins Tommy Ashley for a breakdown of the Michael Malone-led UNC Basketball high school recruiting approach and the need for the Tar Heels to sign elite talent out of the high school ranks. Harrington discusses the vast benefits of Caleb Wilson's short time in Chapel Hill as a prime example of why high school recruiting is important and different from the transfer portal approach and the impact Wilson's time will have on the program down the road.
Harrington and Ashley take on the discussion of in-state recruiting with two of Carolina's main targets - CJ Rosser and DeMarcus Henry being from the Tar Heel state while playing high school ball at elite programs in Florida and Arizona, respectively. Harrington's point ties into the fanbase side of things and the old Tobacco Road feel of homegrown local talent on the roster.
