The Drive with Josh Graham - Roy Williams Lines

Drive with Josh Graham 5 Castle Dr. talk about. This is a sports 609 20 now back to the drive Josh Graham what I believe one of the most entertaining her. I was listening to it yesterday and thought all right. Let's grab one or two of these clips and reply it the most interesting stuff but we spoke for about 30 minutes and Coach Williams just kept giving us golden nuggets.

Funny stuff. Enlightening stuff entertaining stories.

He loves telling stories and being the chief entertainer is a stark contrast from other coaches we do with go check coming from Army and his background when heat when he's talking to us. He's very sharp and very particular. Every single word has to be correct.

It's almost like he's going to war when he's meeting with reporters Roy Williams it's like you're speaking with your cool grandpa telling the awesome stories and not caring what pain is thrown against the wall is just trying to figure out what's going to stick. So rather than pulling one or two of his best clips here are. Here's a full montage of the funny things Roy Williams had to say yesterday 48 million Jews on the transfer portal for third graders vessels names transfer portal so since the world we live in a come on guys, you figure that out and tell me what to know I'm not in favor for music, crap is all intelligent like witness in charge of our nuclear arms. We don't know what the crap I think you look bad. Only since we will have Joan Wiley here's a student for us to get anymore why you're in your own your own afterwards.

And before I can do anything about that the special kid think I would remember that sacrificing for so no, I am the lead in school history physicist Kim can shoot that basketball.

In case you guys don't know that thing that hang from the ceiling writing on the walls." It's not a drug charge. It's not a dive on the forthcoming school and Golden State review scam because I've never seen a program with a clear box in one just got here Sunday/Monday is a good coach are you doing should I see a loss for words. We have an on-call schedule is been released all okay on her to raise $1.5 million, and I assure you, you have as much time as you do watch list list what this is June that young man that made me stand up for my roommate at that list his name on the list.

I love you asking order. What the hell is going on. This is what it would sound like when Roy walked in when his kids were school way walked into their room to find that they snuck like a Playboy magazine underneath her better something if we have that's out. Come on guys, you figure that out and tell me what was going on. So no, I'm not in favor of anything, crap right so that he adhere like you're arguing with your sister. You and your sister are going out are you and your brother and your fighting who who gets the TV for the next 30 minutes. Come on guys, you figure that out and tell me what was going on. So no, I'm not in favor of anything. No were not were not watching another episode of fairly odd parents.

Whatever Joe is now that you're still in the air believe.

So now she has a younger intern can help me out here you can you can reference that the other thing here from Coach Williams him just, it's the it's the most subtle of humble Braggs. He doesn't know about a nonconference schedule and he uses the opportunity to tell us why.

Very casually, in a weird flex kind of way loss works.

We have an on-call schedule is been released okay on her to raise $1.5 million you know about the nonconference you doing telling the new writing newspaper articles.

I'll tell you what I was doing raising money for charitable reasons.

1.5 million specifically located in and heard a number like that right also paying homage to John Rothstein be annoying college basketball reporter for CBS. I don't think he specifically was doing this I don't commit Roy Williams for that.

But the CBS report I CBS sports reporter John Roth that he's known to do this is March the entire month of March and sometimes not even in the month of March. Roy Williams reminding us what month it is.

This is that's what it is I look at the TV. I see this here little talking to ESPN commentators ahead of the draft getting us excited for tomorrow night. This is now the World Cup's going on College World Series trying to root for Mike Martin who try to make a run. This is what it is telling telling us nothing but facts me getting a tweet just now from Wake Forest head basketball coach Danny Manning saying that is excited to be on the show tomorrow. Thank you.

This is yes usually the time were coaches have time for us radio folk. This is June on Twitter at sports of dryad if you want to reach out to us that way. Danny Manning will be on this show tomorrow.

Look forward to catching up with coach Manning. Obviously somebody played in the league quite a bed put on top of that player coached against many of the players were to have their names called in the lottery, Roy Williams.

He's just a coach who knows he's established as a Hall of Famer and you're not going to come after him the way you would come after a coach who hasn't quite earned what Coach Williams is earned so he can sit there comfortably and not worry about always this going to come off right. Is this the right thing to say. I wish more people took this approach because usually coaches are starch their ordering their clich�, but not to give you much NFL quarterbacks are that way most of the stores and that's border.

That way, NBA basketball, it's a little bit different but usually you don't know the names of most of the coaches and that work college basketball is all about the coaches and a lot of the more established ones feel free to be loose. Coach K Wally does have a different approach than Roy. He's interested in other things than basketball. I heard last night talking to league Commissioner, Adam Silver on his radio show NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, who was talking about how the NBA is run like a business coach interjects yeah so is college basketball to the point where Silver had awkwardly recant and say no comment on that comment on that these there the next day, NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver agrees with coach K that college basketball operates like a business. I'm sure Mark Emmert would be a big fan of that news coming out.

Let's talk about this is 620 Drive with Josh Graham broadcasting live in now my favorite things that I think are significant Carolinas right now is broadcasting to a bunch of people and a handful of no idea what happening right now in the way of the sport show. I don't know who I am.

I say something nice, if you will about her, you will read that Google North Carolina currently have about how one now see there are some people who would say I'm not redheaded but then others is Darren Vaught.

Is there a lot of red headers. He strictly brunette. The laws of nature try to claim that you are not a red you were just talking to investment Johnson doesn't believe that we can sort really look red, like maybe to grind out or something. I don't know. I don't see red. When I look at your life that had gone to going to wait to look at Josh's driver's license before God not to tell the story to tell the story very quickly and this is actually relevant to what we want to talk to Hayes about earlier in the week I got denied of beer at an establishment. I don't care to name because my face was lodged on my ID, so much so they didn't believe I was a I guess a 21-year-old man.

Wow going to formulate it with you. That made it easy to link the doctor I actually did, to be completely honest, still not lying next to me did the joke where they said that it didn't idea.

Maybe it makes me feel young to get ID I got that joke before I got denied. The beer you go from being like 30 around 33 like a man. Would you like 35 provide the show tweet the show at some dryad. If you have an answer to that. You just playing the piano. Did I hear that correctly when you are coming into yet not the same thing. Really good stuff. North Carolina flavor here, but the reason why that last story is relevant to what I want to talk to you about is we we just heard from Dave Doran was a little passive-aggressive talking about this.North Carolina, seemingly finally passing legislation that would allow for Carter Finley Stadium to sell alcohol beer and wine at NC State football games and the same again and Stadium at public universities across the state of North Carolina. My question to you will alcohol being sold these games significantly affect how many people are in the stands increase the number of comments we get told by didn't want to go to bed with a truly not only sell alcohol or pass out. No claim to not about to get.

But as you know, radio a lot of times. To make a claim.

I will watch this game I will buy tickets because up until that happened.

Political coach. They hired a fire they did like ultimately you know people end up buying tickets and watching games or things different than the things they claim you know a lot of squawking body decide on what they should do will affect you either pass this claim and that we know Carolina guy passed out.

John helped her a lot but always find the arrival having some angle on your business plays out. I do think legitimate gripe you stated only the one if you want to abandon their standard. Experience like yeah they'd like. But I can ultimately vote yes the wind about to come down to it the realtor about that one enjoyed himself would not give up tailgating date school if they where they had alcohol failed and they pass out or draw some sort of like crazy now know doing it for some games. I'm not sure exactly how the follow Hayes on Twitter at DH PIV Hayes from our sports channel late with this year.

I think you're the perfect person answer this question. What school does this news affect the most what school do not question what school does this legislation affect the most because of the tailgate culture in an element that you and she and NC State, and you know better what you do you have a like a private booster area where they do have alcohol failed to put the tailgate scene in and in Greenville much like NC State pretty rowdy and it just seems fitting that the first game of the year ECUs playing at NC State to the taste of it and when you universities have been using the alcohol failed like leverage to get people to donate to a certain level than you could be fit in the right place.

Whatever.

But it does give a little bit like your separating the haves and have-nots wait for. I'm sure that they had private alcohol but they will.

One of the first to at least try to get your salesperson a limited section and now I think they have it in more places like oh you know the haves and have-nots. These people can drink alcohol and everybody else in a deal with it what you owe on the stadium with the plan through a disgruntled about it. They impact out here with that in theology Hayes lived.

All I wanted to stay for what they do and tell the writers who are interested in more time talking about it.

You tailgating is bigger there than in the close second state out there and you will see the difference. He would not grab a traditionally speaking tailgate at any university in the state.

I think that's what we talk about about another provided with they have the highest level profile Hayes from office for settling with us. Another headline that's relevant to the sports scene here in North Carolina. The owner of the North Carolina professional soccer team one FC is going to set to announce, according to reports, a multiyear drive to build a multiuse soccer facility in hopes of landing a major league soccer franchise.

It looks like it's going to be a 20,000 seat stadium in downtown Raleigh, a project that set the cost $1.9 billion. Here's what I'm interested in how much our people in Raleigh behind this project and the pursuit of this owner down got granted, I am this topic, I'm actually the man on the scene for you and in my house just south of the yard out to them about new puppy is going to the bathroom just south of downtown Raleigh are planning to build a new stadium almost literally people over you literally so I won't say little, almost literally, their building the state in my backyard abide is right off the belt line.

You literally tried to come off 40 into downtown Raleigh from the south side and you come up over a hill and down looking at the wall and the building to the theater when you pass from 40 up to that point we do almost everything you pass to become Dr. stadium/downtown entertainment center that is a couple interesting and unrequited to your question, but I'm going to validate the owner about the kilogram the courage to go down that lot occurred rebranded in CFC made a strong push for MLS. One of the things he said to read the wind was blowing, not using public funds to go to get the money funded the way things are going to be out tax dollars on stadiums, but now, Holly developer John Kane used today making deals with the government about how to go today Jane got them out of here that all buddy buddy. You have been applying for Lake County and Raleigh itself, North Carolina wake County is one of the best government organizations to work with and funding programs really are. Whatever. So in theory and one from the county and Malik and came upon now your question of the reaction to think that soccer is strong here, merely moving the location from Carrie. Really, go to really have good a good commute and good parking already, just by moving it downtown Raleigh with finger, top it off right now the soccer community will get behind it. However, politically, were not only is it still to be taken a lot of government form. You have a lot of land, people want affordable housing your hearing about how people work on writing about Charlotte and Raleigh and other cities around North Carolina. The people you mean talk about Geico. We were here about how there's so much need for land to build more places to live. Great city to go if you want to have Howard tear up right now is just south of the judge granted two hours of the 20 dear running through the Goldfield downtown Raleigh but� Go more towards the north and west of the first big project to be self. Outside of the pushback that alone will will be like trying to bring soccer and superlong.

If you question God very long your deference. You don't like that Mark got Bob question really Malik was blazing all about MLS� Language to try to make it more and have a great soccer club when we get MLS or not be an interesting shift account which you would keep his foot on the gas but an ability lose momentum for soccer just because it is an MLS soccer so it may be a ways off.

If it ever is going to develop an MLS MLS Dr. C how much they are willing to invest in something that isn't at the top level of the wall. He is unforgettably long-winded Hayes per Moore has very good information there. You can follow him on Twitter at DH PIV. It's good to hear from you handsome shall be catch up sometime soon. Then you want to give us a close a closing note something to close us out with great case for more play something I cannot post a break with excellent. We will play Joe Wiles third volume of Movieline calls next on the drive back.

This is 622 the drive with Josh Graham time for weekly content in the eighth round term draft is tomorrow reading this headline has surrendered Adrian roach and Borowsky when it comes for the NBA draft. Remember last year they said he wasn't allowed to tip the pics of what he did instead was said that a team was tantalized by the opportunity by the prospect of drafting somebody you can't tell roads not to break news so ESPN gave into one of its top reporters and is it is essentially saying if you don't want to know who was being picked stay off of twitter. Yeah, good luck with that.

It's that easy. Don't twitter Denver right you can't tell a true motive Borowsky to not be asking me Hold me down. You got a letter on the peacock And you got that that's what happens when you fire your entire NBA staff that company is only like two reporters left like you, give them reporters 02 breaks, everything breaks more stories than all the other team reporters combine next week, he's going to be and what is good to be in Winston-Salem be broadcasting from an SMA seminar next week ahead of the Hall of Fame dinner if loads comes up to us with Doris Burke. I'll ask him first question that the God of war. What are you pulling them what weekly quotes was up with that when it comes to the way we talk about the draft. It's often repetitive. It's lazy it's it's used. It's just soaked in clich�s often that mean nothing. Words we just throw around. I think it's the bane of my existence. It's why I can't watch the draft I follow will join Twitter rather than watching Fox just for these purposes, I'm going to turn the things that anger me that annoy me into entertainment. The way that Seinfeld were great comedian Ward were to do this with our top 10 list.

It's my top 10 draft terms weave a great team here on site kickback jacks are RGM malfunction. Also, Heidi Pratt does a lot here. Heidi's on-site actually I get to see her reaction real time rather than in the studio to hear what she a lot of the calls Fuji music that accidents our top 10 list each and every week days go ahead and hit it out of the restaurant. Don't really want to embarrass mine what I normally very well done great and I recognize that my number draft her deceptively quick forgot the newest light down might also be Michael Jackson Michael Jackson. The show work that you are Kelly should be canceled, but you're still playing Michael Jackson music on the shelf because Michael is down so the whole thing are Kelly still going through it right who are Kelly not the first time, but I believe is right now my United States of America where your your innocence is innocent and guilty unless you really sound guilty. I'm going to allow I believe I can fly and are Kelly sound popularity began when I got to say that people I've always found whatever quick is talking about white guys this time quick look at the quick deceptively quick player.

You never really hear them say a very deceptively quick nine number draft can't mess. Why can't Miss I think they are only three players. I know for sure going to be great but I think there are five elected you like megastores. I think it Zion Margie Barrett John Moran Darius Garland and DeAndre Hunter is a five webcast megastores in terms of players. I think it Zion RJ and DeAndre Hunter. I know for sure they're going to be good looking last chance of between 10 and 117 semi's and come out of that group is giving me why winter and nobody saw it coming type of guy. A lot of guy yeah I think I do is a loaded draft of Kawai and Jan asked when they came they were taken of the team every five years every five years. You see something like that happened. I don't know that this is the draft that maybe a bulbul or someone like that might my backyard. We don't know we won't know for another three or four years but like somebody laid her on the first All-Star, God, I can't see right now but I imagine what it looks like take the opportunity to say or feel for the one star picked 10 to 70 right now but that doesn't surprise me in the game of the year Rick number three and number eight on the list writers with pics a little bit higher than your little notice you didn't bring him up on my list top 10 draft term checks all the boxes so six all the boxes were the box Zion Williams that he check all the boxes got physicality that it is the size young you find someone in life that you want to love forever who checks all the boxes for you. I don't know what your boxes may be, but it might be.

I need somebody call her.

I need somebody who's smarter. I need somebody or I need somebody who holds a pretty significant job that takes a lot of money. What I wonder many are called Zion deceptively quick. I don't think so. Should've left tackle this deceptively good Zion Williams that deceptively good pastor. I think Zion lacks one were characteristic for the deceptively quick category. I want you piece together what that might fit verse seven my number seven draft term intangible and you always want somebody who has all the intangibles you know somebody sure Tim Johnson has the mature kid.

He's a good locker room guy leader, leader of men want. These are other ones that could leader of men, locker room guy offered number six, five, number six raptor basketball IQ below low basketball IQ. Nobody knows their point out if they have high basketball IQ that would be refreshing if they did not really like the guy would like you, I really like. I really like this.

Your little buddy got low basketball IQ relates to people like you like the people like you listen to the people who tested the best in the Wunderlich for talking about famous Winston was one of the best in the history of the Wunderlich guy sounds like he can't read it before you before you come at me and say that sounds racist. Listen to James Winston, the content of what you say not what it sounds like the content of what famous Winston had come at me. Nothing. That is the know what he said on a table inside it. That led to him being suspended for 1/2 say that on the radio right now have operated Google account or you could just go to google.com and insert set up right my number five draft term hi motor, I'm Kawai. Why is there likely that JR Smith was someone with low basketball like that actually itself out number for my number four draft term all the measurable yeah Zion has all the measurable work people right outside parking lot number three. My number three draft term of the game of the game yeah yeah there is a book for basketball every single day you get that title of your player you doing to gain best blocking your first jammin leave best friend Coach K coaches get my number two draft term for board out there sound back on my number one draft term gym rat always picture when I picture this 5 foot six white kid with a rat tail running people off the once the court rose as a black man or woman ever been labeled as a gym rat.

Has that ever happened. I don't think so like if it never gets picked just like it had been on gourmet water ready for Jordan's own race now from race now other ones that were on the outside looking in, like physical specimen usually I mean these all tend to go interracial direction.

If you want to want to go in that category. I don't know many white athletes were labeled as free with each week. This is something the ability to string.

Maybe Krista McCaffrey made. I think however that with a freakish speed or something like that is really hard to do work like the Chicago intangibles for my quick hand yet more, rather than gym rat Jim Kelly Douglas as president hero low for high ceiling hall feeling I had written down feeling I didn't get to that prize prototypical outside looking in.

Body providing fun stuff next, the most entertaining press, I've ever heard in a while away posted on checkout if they heard in a while ever in a while in a while with Josh Graham, 627 so yeah I think is leaving school in history to last pretty good physicist that lies only have an that is talked about the white that the a lot of tomorrow after I think your first draft traffic, let alone fighting Carolina one is done. I do believe he's the best one and done North Carolina's ever had. Now I know Marvin Williams was drafted a little bit higher than where we white is going to be taken. He was taken second in the 2005 draft and I know Marvin Williams is a part of the national title team.

Even though we came off the bench but Kobe white.

He did more for his team's team needed him more than that. 05 team needed Marvin regardless of where you think he belongs among the 51 and done North Carolina Kobe whites my favorite person to get to know at my favorite story I somebody who's had success with the Tar Heels in recent year. I'm interested in how is good to be remembered, though, since he was only here for one season.

Despite him maybe being the best one and done you UNC's had to make the best scoring point guard Roy Williams had met coming from Roy Williams himself saying that during the season is only one year, so 15, 20 years from now we gonna look back and still remember what Kobe white did even though North Carolina didn't make it to the final four in North Carolina didn't win a national title like Marvin Williams team did altogether. I think this teams get to be this year is to be fascinating for us to remember Kobe why at UNC Zion Williamson RJ Baron cam reddish at Duke that this is going to be a here even though neither the blue Devils nor the Tar Heels won the title or even made it to the final four.

It's one of the more memorable college basketball seasons. I can think of in the last 10 years. I think that Kobe is deftly a shot size, right any 65 190 so he's built right away our position.

Although I think eventually someone should regard and spells.

I actually want to put all points bulletin out for Tony Bradley because the dude had the skill to really excel his main problem is that he got traded to the jazz is behind regal bearing Dirk Faber said he can't get out of the ceiling for thumbsucking needs to get traded, to a spot that could use a good young post-player that could grow and I think EP would have an opportunity but he's on the verge of being forgotten a lot of people forgotten about Tony Bradley being one dump. Larry came off came off the bench. He wasn't drafted very high margin. What here are the 51 and done Tar Heels Marvin Williams at 2005 Brendan Wright in 2007 Tony Bradley as you mentioned in the two this year to see her little and tell me why everybody loves him. Kobe the players Tribune story about his dad.

Earlier this week you will pursue new spoke with Toby's mom for about 40 to 45 minutes. That's can lead to a story, but you can find the Greensboro news and record knowing Brandt and being an award-winning writer that's got to be something you're not going to want to mess up your a Tar Heel fan or even somebody who doesn't care as much, but likes the human element of things. Then there's this anecdote from Roy Williams at his press conference yesterday talking about his impression of Kobe after getting to know his father, who passed away a little over a year ago and also just the family altogether.

His early encounter my favorite moments with Kobe white was when we went in the home officially.

You don't do that to lease senior year, so we going home and fall of the senior year and is the past couple months before and not been committed to us for since the summer after sophomore year but I stand in the middle room with just a month where you were six out to get your chair and Kobe sit in this nice comfortable recliner. She should get up cam jumped my kinda kid because mom said get up so she should use it right here coach.

His dad was pretty dark on the mom strong sister and brother. It's a great family. Kobe why I think is going to be a lottery pick.

I think there are still some significant questions with them. I think EC 65.

He is a great handle great shot great speed elite level speed and he has a lot of the tools and he's again going to be taken in the top 10 tomorrow and should be plots.

We don't know if he is a point are we don't know if he's going to settle in and just be a shooting guard weekly figure try to figure out those questions, he doesn't have a big wingspan.

He hasn't been that good defensively so there are some holes in his game, but there were holes pretty much with everybody's game here just sound a little bit more than others, and you parse differences when you look at the NBA draft after you get through the first three or four packs about today though being a significant day in North Carolina and ACC sports history in a positive sense 13 years ago today, North Carolina won its first and only major professional championship in professional sports. The Carolina hurricanes won the Stanley Cup game seven against the Edmonton Oilers, Justin Williams hitting the empty natter to make it read one with a little over one minute to go in what was called the RBC Center at the time. Now PNC arena. The building mostly standing for most of the game. Pretty neat. Hurricanes winning 13 years ago today. I'm trying to remember exactly where I was. I still kick myself for taking a vacation when the hurricanes were hosting a game seven but also being on vacation when did the parade happen. I miss that hurricanes in the orioles of the two teams. I love the most. The orioles haven't sniffed the title and forever, and the hurricanes when they one I I I was out of town to get a chance to go to that victory parade.

That's the positive of June 19 that was in 2006 June 19 of 1986. Not a very positive headline Len bias passed away. Len bias died shockingly, the great Maryland player and was likely it's one of the biggest what-ifs in sports that was already a historic Boston Celtics team that it just won the title in 1986 they were going to add Len bias to the mix who anybody historians from the ACC in the 80s will say it was Jordan. It was Ralph Sampson and it was Len bias and parsing details to figure out who the best of the three was was almost impossible 23 make it 33 years ago today Lynn bias did right after being drafted by the Boston sentiment Lynn bias man and 86 I was eight and nine years old and old enough to kinda start recognizing players are really like attributes and whatnot. Lynn bias was Jordan like your two bowls while at Maryland he was that much more advanced than what Jordan was and he was just so good in everything yet. Maybe the purest jumpshot ever seen super athletic. What scared me to body scared him like he was he was going to be Jordan.

Before Jordan and if you picture putting him on that 86 Celtics team, which many consider maybe one of the best Celtic teams of all time. I mean it just took them into another decade of just Celtic dominance if he had been there to be able to kinda take the torch from Larry just a sad situation and that's a really good 3430 and vote yes it is. You can follow on our twitter pole for what is the best movie call from volume 3 of Joe Wiles Movieline he's the finagling Movieline from the audience into his play-by-play for the � all first half and were trying to figure out what the best call from the first Is let's go through the final four. I believe this to be the best batch we've had so far.

Let's start with the dodgeball reference making it into the � broadcast his scalp shot went way over the same town population. The best color commentator in all of sports movies Jason Bateman peppers going to need a new pair of shorts. What's next day sent from Dr. and it is all away counties and want to know what just as one does not simply walk into Mordor one is not simply walk into a first third one out situation and try to dominate applicable emails. It don't just walk into a first third situation the same way.

Just don't walk into Mordor.

It's really good. This Pulp Fiction line I think is the favorite. You can vote on this on Twitter at sports of dryad this Pulp Fiction line I think should win going outside counties.

I wanted to close to like you can. It's got a big enough frame that you can see him off the field writing a chopper to his loved ones that said baby that's dead you could just picture that person writing a chopper heavy, big, big set guy muscles not riding a bike not writing a motorcycle, making sure to clarify much like Bruce Willis did in fact the job. What's the last of this back dollars now with AA Birmingham.

There is this guy ever stared into his eyes.

That's my favorite quote quotable movie. I think super bad is more quotable than anchorman, but it's close. I think it's those one for the ones you can vote on right on those figure out which one of the best between us. That's worth a try. But make sure you vote on that and will tell you what the winter is tomorrow one of our favorite gas is ESPN's Ryan McGee was good to be covering the College World Series in Omaha on top of that he wrote the book on college baseball on the road to the College World Series. He tells the past stories so Ryan McGee will tell us incredible baseball stories on this show next time. 920 now. Already calling on Ryan right one on minor-league baseball in the state of North Carolina. The last time he was with. He told the story where he was working with the Asheville touristy when they hit BP and hit home runs out the center. Apparently there was this man who was fearful of nothing and there were snakes biting his arm as he came back with baseballs and sold it back to the team. Ryan beloved Billy referred to him as the mountain man last time he was with us so the standard is set pretty high Ryan for this visit in terms of stories. How are you doing a product taken back to the leg mountain man live in a little down 40 now people the really good. What does Omaha in the College World Series represent to you being somebody who's the son of NAIA national champ at East Carolina in the 60s. I'm not going to compare my dad. Often their torn because the guys that played on the last team to play in a college World Series always so disappointed when Carolina is inevitably good and they fall short of making Cottrell. But I think also literally all time am very fortunate in that you paid me to get a lot of off and my favorite is certainly one month after they were coddled. And that goes back to that. My dad grew up in Raleigh and you guys know about road is a great place to grow up going to college baseball and so we always dreamed we want to coddle you in doing the 80s that we dream of going out Omaha one day and finally got to do that in 2001. We did it several years in a row and loved just as much as I thought a little more than I thought it would, and you were so much and so it's going Friday and could not be happier. I did not go last year. My wife declared that I have to figure out where to go every year because she sick me mope around the house.

I'll be honest, I love the college World Series. But it just doesn't feel the same with TD Ameritrade Park versus old Rosenblatt.

I know I sound old curmudgeon guy like grandpa yelling at the class to get off his lawn by saying it that way but this is like the fences are too deep. I know it's the state fan still remember when they went in there convinced Ray Turner would have a homerun in any other ballpark except for that one, but speaking of Rosenblatt in the history there in Omaha.

What's the best story.

You could tell me you experience that 10 years ago, now Called Rd., Omaha and the reason we wrote it 10 years ago called Rosenblatt was his final days in my book opened with the deal that was announced in the cutting of the patent shovels in the ground all in the parking lot of what is now the Ameritrade Park was not always have mixed feelings always drive up the hill on 13th St. you know what usually Rosenblatt is now the parking lot, where don't lower right that the aviary bought that land parking lot with the going is often because the foul poles Rosenblatt are still there in home plate is still there and what they did was they actually made a little T-ball field built around the original home plate Rosenblatt and original Rosenblatt that are all around the little T-ball that is left on getting there. I'm really curious to get out there after missing last year and see what it's like around the ballpark as what you Ameritrade never had the Rosenblatt hat was the neighborhood left center mill of a neighborhood stories always think about that year in 2008 one Presidents' Day one and some lunatic ran across the field with no causal you directed and they dragged them off because of the 70s I was a pretty frequent thing that God ballpark.

The Republic walk up in the game and walked up to the plate with a little ball back completely naked and around the bases like in the mid-70s rare in the bases in. Never saw this guy is that the Rosenblatt ran around naked guy coming up the last depleted by a member of the ground crew and drag them off the jail will play call start right across the street from the ballpark and I went over there at 1 o'clock in the morning to get beer for the hotel guy with the shirt off Dragon everybody in the bar that he was beguiled on the field away and it was in you had to go back to court because you got a citation and I will put them in jail for like a day or whatever and the attorney who defended him in court successfully with another guy you met in the bar that night across the street from Rosenblatt. The whole thing felt like I should know that story. I know it well because were broadcasting live from the kickback Jackson Greensboro and I I see a lot of people laughing and turning around at the idea of somebody walking up to the plate but naked with a wiffleball bat and then escaping the authorities to brag about it later on ESPN's Ryan McGee with us on twitter@ESPN McGee, Mike Martin, though I would argue probably the best story in all of sports. Right now, 40 years at Florida State 4040 win seasons and he's here in Omaha after we didn't know if Florida State was going to make this field a 64 just how wild is this run.

Somebody is covered college baseball. As long as you have certainly familiar with coach Martin and think about all the great that almost 20 themes. Now what were the ballpark appointing my mortgage taken Omaha, including one player Florida State counterpart and never won a championship in some of the themes that he took Omaha, you go through the list of players that the All-Americans in the Golden spikes were one of them out there in LA with Buster Posey was clearly the best player there in the office again to you what might Martens want to coin a phrase like to play two games back to the house and so for this team would look like he was going to be his only team not to win for again and made a quick exit out of this team to have gone on the road and wanted to very difficult place to nationally ranked, internationally seeded team. Mike Martin never coached village you and I went to LSU one super regional yeah you're right it's great and I think that working with people you Mike Martin was a God who did are open to the entire coddled.

I wrote a script to read, and also wrote a script to help you write a script, saying his goodbye thoughts on the phone bills� Not ever have to run this all about God credit memo to sell strong link at University College Hall of Fame and you live down there in the Tallahassee is a top why his name was John want to get to a couple other quick editors you cover a lot of college football and is a big headline in your home state here in North Carolina. The North Carolina Senate is just okay to beer and wine sales piece of legislation. And it looks like this bipartisan work on a house bill is going to make it to Gov. Cooper's desk later on tonight. He expects to sign it and that means I can't think of a better way to consummate this this piece of lettuce that legislation coming into fruition. Then NC State hosting East Carolina the first game of the year, but the SEC they okayed this it with a ruler, a month ago or so, just how big of a deal is this got no problem people have a good, my concern is that a 14-year-old daughter and a lot of her memories of going to call for again or go and the reason is because it wasn't I Raleigh in the eight and my memories of those games are so much about the actual game as it is drunk guys fight in the parking lot at midnight trying to get a car so that's why worry about getting the tailgate and all that but also don't mind� Not been able to buy more alcohol ballpark so so I have mixed feeling about it much.

My concern is, thereby, everybody knows that attendance is softening in college football. That's no secret, but like to commit to me about beer in the stadium of the magic bullet to solve a problem and that we said we find will all survive and make some money without thinking we finally felt something that both out of Yala, Raleigh. Another thing I'm the one thing that people won't really agree on is just how entertaining the person I'm about to bring up really is and that's really Williams yesterday spoke for about 30 minutes. It was one of the more entertaining press conferences I've never heard he was talking about nonconference scheduling. It was the most humble of brag your ever going to hear the entire thing was great, but here's a piece of Roy Williams press conference loss works. We have not been released to raise $1.5 million just to let you know that the reason the reason I didn't know about that schedule just $1.5 million raise and that nothing specific that out on their fundraiser but I give Roy creditors he will attack in article 2 yeah, football, basketball don't count by following the feeding comes out.

Don't complain to me in in March or in the case college football and in the fall when the committee will give you the you all the credit you want to play New Mexico State and from school. I've never heard of an athlete go play somebody and then you got a pretty red lose again in the room I meet somebody in the room. You can write one point, Dr. what makes Williams different from other coaches you talk to well you know I think it all shucks thing is fully aware of what you know that I think that is the first metal wave is actually not at Rosenblatt that are called, and North Carolina would like to clear the road and the old milkshake place right outside of the less they all stand in line to get milkshake hamburger in between games and there was Roy and I their portal kill on my clock and I am a casual chat with what struck me was talking to Roy standalone right there completely off the record, no tape recorder in my hand.

He knew who was when I talked to him standing there, Caroline and baseball. Whatever else one not talk to him in a press conference situation about academic scandal talk me exactly what and so it is a writer talking. It's ESPN's Ryan McGee somebody unreliable in all things baseball, football, and whatever else were talking about. Quite frankly talking about foods you were here in a kickback.

Jack so if I take that off the board of good restaurants and you can have your Greensboro tell me the spot hole in the wall you're going to Greensboro you need to get food. What are you getting well my daughter just saying it like all-state middle school course like a month ago, and no one was hungry and I made them walk across the river coffin heard of you also listen no graver. When I give a great number of my truck is automatically, points itself portal hotdog with I can't get anywhere near the triad, is automatically drive himself and so far been known to do that. Maybe 70 or 80,000 when Martin I think you directed your colleagues.

Well that when we were in Charlotte for the ACC tournament Reese Davis, J. Williams and friend stopped by and hung out with us a little bit and then afterwards they say here's how you're making it up to us next year were in Greensboro you taken us to stain people understand you coach them. Well, I think I think I'm in a get the credit to you or Marty Smith that Marty Marty do anything that wasn't like some woman in the call room may affect how I walked I walked into production meeting. It was a crew of growth through Greensboro on my way to the Chronicle for football game to walk through a little stack of famous stickers on the table here and one guy one director that regulated hand while I still not far for couple years and what they try to save barbecue is not what don't even know you are.

I enjoyed the state and Omaha enjoy the zoo when the baseball appreciate you visiting with us. We present Ryan McGee of ESPN great is always always seems to deliver complete what let's hear from Dave Doran. We have a second, Dave Doran, I sense passive aggressiveness in the way that he's talking here.

The way that he speaking about this legislation going through and what is seem to be an inevitability that were going to finally sell beer and wine at NC State ECU North Carolina Appalachian State football and basketball games. It had to happen. Dave Doran was asked about it and I since passive aggressiveness here gives him the options. And oddly enough that's why they're going on the parking lot have that option not to be a 15 minute halftime save your legs a little relaxing watching the halftime stuff on the TVs obviously generates revenue from university programs well know when the best game days of the country in the first quarter.

The awesome board is leaving in the third quarter. Yet we have some of the best environments in the first step people.

I think people are leaving because the noon kick Dave and you're losing to Wake Forest and Syracuse that might be the reason more than the fact that I now I know awake state fans.

The game was played in the carrier down last year but you get the principal Thursday night, losing to Wake Forest when half the rosters out baby worry about that a little bit more than about the fans staying in the stand for the first half and then remaining there for the third quarter. I don't know how much that has to do with your sales like nothing was going. You know I've made it all the way into the stadium but I really badly want another Bruce so I'm going to leave this game that I would've otherwise been staying at. If by some miracle I can pay eight to $10 for a beer and waited in line for 20 minutes and already miss some of the third quarter, like it's it's just tomorrow Danny Manning is going to be on the show working chat with the wake basketball coach will also visit with Joe while as well from the Winston-Salem � continue to vote on those lines. By the way on twitter from his most recent volume were to be sharing with Darren Vaught on Friday. Mike, the courts from the sporting news later on in the week as we got to get down stories today face Eddie Murphy SQL will be landing in theaters next year is added to their cathode may not be the movie that you want to have a sequel will talk about Murphy stomach and find out next
