In this post-season recap, Carolina’s Own breaks down a wild year of UNC football from every angle. Ronnie, D-Block, and JD open with Thanksgiving catch-ups before diving into the Heels’ offensive struggles, quarterback evaluation, coaching decisions, and why explosive plays were missing all season. The guys analyze Gio Lopez’s development, Jordan Shipp’s potential, and the bigger systemic issues holding the offense back.

On the defensive side, they revisit the mid-season turnaround under Bill Belichick, the late-season regression, and what UNC must add through the portal — from interior defensive linemen to true playmakers in the secondary. The crew also debates Bill Belichick's future, whether UNC is truly his long-term plan, and what the Giants rumors mean for the program during a crucial recruiting stretch.

Then it gets spicy: the ACC Championship controversy. Should the league strong-arm Duke out and put Miami in for the sake of playoff representation? JD says absolutely not. Ronnie and Darian say the ACC needs its best team on the biggest stage.

They close with national championship predictions, Alabama–Georgia talk, Lane Kiffin’s SEC move, and why timing, money, and legacy all collide in today’s college landscape.

Carolinas' Own is back, and it is officially Duke Week. Ronnie, D-Block, and JD break down the Heels’ matchup with Duke — a surprisingly explosive, top-tier offense that presents UNC’s toughest defensive test of the year. The guys dive into why Duke’s quarterback and skill positions are legit, what UNC’s secondary and D-line must do, and how Carolina’s offense can (and must) find answers against a defense that gives up explosives.

From running back rotation frustrations to getting the ground game established, the crew explains exactly what needs to change for UNC to stay bowl-eligible.

Then, the conversation widens to the national chaos:
• Why has Florida fallen off while Duke rises?
• Has NIL completely broken old recruiting pipelines?
• Should Lane Kiffin stay at Ole Miss or take a big swing at Florida/LSU?
• James Franklin to Virginia Tech — smart move or risky rebuild?

D-Block closes the show celebrating his Saskatchewan Roughriders winning the Grey Cup and gives CFL insight on playoff shares, money, and why his jersey should absolutely be retired.

It’s rivalry week, it’s senior night, and the crew is honest, sharp, and fired up.

Carolina’s Own is back after a frustrating trip to Winston-Salem, where the Heels fell to Wake Forest 28 to 12 in a game that felt closer than the scoreboard. Ronnie, D-Block, and JD break down why the defense kept UNC in it again, why the offense continues to stall, and how the play calling and personnel usage are holding this team back.

The guys dive into Gio’s struggles, the rotation issues at receiver and running back, the lack of identity on offense, and why UNC has to rethink its approach with Duke and NC State coming up. We also talk about bowl eligibility, what defines failure or success this season, and whether UNC should look at younger quarterbacks if things slip next week.

Plus, we jump around the college landscape including South Carolina’s collapse at Texas A&M, LaNorris Sellers' NFL projection, and how coaching decisions can make or break young quarterbacks.

Carolina’s Own keeps it real, keeps it honest, and keeps it Carolina.
