Tri-Partisan Carolina Podcast

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

March 13, 2020 18:00 - 31 minutes

A huge news week (and a half) since the last episode.

Boeheims and Broomsticks

March 04, 2020 00:00 - 30 minutes

David discusses the wins over the NC State and the Orange, and whines over semantics. Plus he dives into Carolina's (lack of) success while he travels, looks ahead to Senior Night against Wake Forest, and updates the status of his dream ACC Tournament Buzzer Beater Bracket Revenge Tour (TM).

It's a Doggy Dog World

February 26, 2020 00:00 - 23 minutes

A brief recap of the Louisville game, complete with a Sports Night Says It Better Than Me segment courtesy of Jimmy Dykes. Then a little bit of crystal ball gazing regarding the matchup with NCSU.

A Plethora of Losses

February 19, 2020 14:40 - 28 minutes

Two More Entries to the Heartbreak Montage

February 12, 2020 00:00 - 28 minutes

David spends about as much time reminiscing about the '95 Carolina-Duke classic as he does re-living Saturday's tragic addition to the rivalry. He whines about the Heels' lack of buzzer beaters against the Blue Devils and looks ahead at what remains for Carolina this season.

A Team from the North, A Team from the South

February 05, 2020 00:00 - 28 minutes

Upon further review, David is still frustrated with the foul called on Brandon Robinson at the end of the Boston College game. And also with Cole taking a contested three at the end of the game. Turns out he's just frustrated by the end of the Boston College game. Then a retroactive AND follow up Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week (it'll make sense when you hear it). Plus a look at the FSU game and the path ahead for the Heels.

Don't Call it a Comeback!

January 29, 2020 00:00 - 26 minutes

David delves into the two overtime loss to Virginia Tech before moving on to happier topics, such as the wins over Miami and NC State. He also shares his thoughts on split screens (spoiler alert: he does not like them).

What a Load of Pitt: Basketball Edition

January 22, 2020 00:00 - 24 minutes

A Sports Night Says it Better Than Me segment to open the show would be a great way to get things started if not for the bad news the clip references. David covers some low-lights of the Pitt game, complete with depressing shooting statistics, then moves on to somewhat happier topics. A Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week about officiating reviews, Dear Rameses makes its return with an NCAA Tournament themed question, and we re-visit the "Roy Williams believes in fouling up 3" proclamation. Plu...

Streaking is Illegal Anyway

January 15, 2020 00:00 - 27 minutes

Afterward, a hodge podge of negative news, ranging from CB McGrath's firing to Brandon Robinson's car accident.

Pasted by Pastner

January 08, 2020 00:00 - 29 minutes

A lack of a game to talk about makes this the shortest edition of the podcast to date, but that doesn't mean there aren't still topics to discuss.
