On Thursday Drive, Josh tells how you can spin the Hurricanes season in a positive way even after being eliminated by the Florida Panthers, explains how there's no bigger loser in the 18 game ACC basketball format than Wake Forest, we hear from Carolina Panther coordinators for the first time, including DC Ejiro Evero's thoughts on not going defense with the Panthers no. 8 pick, WD gets fired up about the Greensboro Children's Museum in Weekly Positivity, and 6th man of the Tar Heels, BDaht, joins the show to discuss NC State's basketball roster looking better than Carolina's and to see if Josh knows what "nasty work" is in a session of Grahammar School.

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down the Chapel Hill Regional, hosted by North Carolina. The Tar Heels had a tremendous résumé and are loaded with stars, with starting pitcher Jake Knapp, catcher Luke Stevenson, first baseman Hunter Stokely, 1B, North Carolina, pitcher Jason DeCaro, outfielder Kane Kepley, second baseman Jackson Van De Brake and reliever Walker McDuffie all making one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's first three all-league teams. The Tar Heels posted an outstanding 3.46 ERA, hit 73 home runs and stole 83 bases and look to be one of the most complete teams in the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma, with ace and soon-to-be MLB first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon, can beat anyone when he's on the mound. The Sooners are athletic and can run and defend with catcher Easton Carmichael, center fielder Jason Walk and third baseman Jaxon Willis among the lineup standouts. Can the Sooners get enough pitching from starters Malachi Witherspoon and Cade Crossland--who are talented, but inconsistent--to win the regional? Nebraska won the Big 10 tournament pitching in spacious Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, thanks to a monumental championship-game effort from right-hander Tyler Horn. It's not a team laden with standouts--reliever Luke Broderick was the only Cornhusker on the first three All-Big Ten team--but Case Sanderson leads a quality offense that likes to put the ball in play. Fourth-seeded Holy Cross took a game in its series at Auburn earlier in the year. Jimmy King (20 steals), Gianni Royer (24) and CJ Ergrie (35) are good at reaching base (a team mark of .407) and running, and durable ace Danny Macchiarola gives the Crusaders a chance to win when he pitches.

After a long and grueling college baseball season, North Carolina readies for the NCAA Tournament with its season goals ahead of them.  Head coach Scott Forbes joins Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley and Grace Nugent to discuss the aftermath of an ACC tournament title and how his team has moved on from the impressive weekend.  Pitching decisions, mental approaches, focused preparation and fan support highlight the discussion.  The Tar Heels play Holy Cross at noon on Friday while Oklahoma and Nebraska tangle in Friday's second game, with all games this weekend in Boshamer Stadium.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Brian Murphy is based in Raleigh and his title is Sports Investigative Reporter for WRAL TV. Of late there's been a lot to investigate at North Carolina's football program as Bill Belichick operates in a shroud of secrecy so thick that his players didn't have jersey numbers during the Tar Heels' recent spring game. In addition, Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend has taken on a strange role within the football program as she regularly scrutinizes UNC's communications staff for not doing a better job protecting the image of Belichick and those below him (including Bill's son Steve, the Tar Heels' defensive coordinator). Here is an excerpt from Murphy's coverage of a spring game that was not remotely like most spring games: No numbers on the jerseys for any player throughout spring or in Saturday's final practice. No player interviews throughout spring or after Saturday's final practice. No assistant coach interviews throughout spring or after Saturday's final practice. Belichick spoke to the media near the beginning of spring practice ... and not again. Not even at the end of Saturday's event. Didn't even pick up the microphone to thank everyone for coming out or tell them how important their presence this fall would be. Murphy, a graduate of UNC, is a former newspaper sportswriter who covered Georgia Tech during the Chan Gailey era before moving to Boise and having a front-row seat to the Broncos' incredible rise to football prominence. He was there for Boise State's unforgettable 43-42 triumph over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Before moving back to his roots in Raleigh he lived in Washington D.C., where he covered Congress for the News & Observer of Raleigh.

In the winter of 1973, director William Friedkin released his iconic horror classic The Exorcist, a film that has shocked and terrified audiences for more than fifty years. Based on William Peter Blatty's novel of the same name, The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who becomes possessed by a demonic entity, and the two Catholic priests who attempt to exorcise the demon. Even more terrifying than the content of the film, however, was the fact that The Exorcist was supposedly based on a true story. William Peter Blatty had always stated The Exorcist was based on a supposedly true story he'd heard while at Georgetown University. According to Blatty, a Maryland boy, known as “Roland Doe,” had become possessed by a demonic entity and, among other things, underwent a negative personality change and began exhibiting impossible abilities including an ability to speak Latin. It was only through the dedication of one Jesuit priest that the boy was eventually freed of his possession and went on to live a normal life.Since the release of both the novel and the film in the 1970s, a great deal more has been learned about “Roland Doe” and the supposedly true story that inspired The Exorcist, raising many questions about the veracity of the original claims. Who was “Roland Doe,” and was he truly possessed by a demon, or just the intense emotions of an adolescent boy?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAllen, Thomas. 1993.
