Finally, It's UNC Game Week - IC Daily | Inside Carolina | College Football

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss game week in Chapel Hill and the processes that the past nine months have shaped the Carolina Football program heading into Saturday's matchup with TCU in Ireland.

Barnes and Ashley hit on the offseason noise, recounting the vast differences in the lead up to last season and this season, with off the field drama and dealings shaping the narratives heading into 2026. After a rough 2025, the IC duo point to the field of play and what happens there for all that matters in Bill Belichick's second season in Chapel Hill.
