I'll stop generally updating on the IC premium content here, cause I don't think it's particularly fair to IC to do a full blow by blow, seeing as they sell subscriptions to their content, but i will add the last note that AJ has a personal opinion that there is a non-zero chance of BB not being on the sidelines for the Cal game. I suspect this is a sign that if there is proved to be fire on some of the (as yet unreported) smoke they are hearing, then he may not be on the sideline, but they need to do the work to figure out what is real or not.

To be clear, AJ is with 247 -- not IC.
 
I remember BB stating pretty directly that his staff would likely morph over time. At that time that seemed odd, like he's approaching his initial staff as an experiment or hold-over. Does anyone else recall this? Am I misremembering?

If you think it is unfair to IC, how do you think tarheel247 feels?

Ha! Old habits die hard. I'm letting my 247 subscription run out before making the switch. I wasn't wowed by the couple of month for $1 offer on On3 anyway. I figure there will be a much better Good Friday deal coming up and will grab that. I am an IC loyalist, just biding my time to make the switch. But the UI on the 247 site just "is" IC to me after all these years.

Am I the only one who has emotionally moved on to finding this completely hilarious?

I mean, I get it's probably a coping mechanism, but I'm really, really amused by all of this.

Stages since December 2024: mad when the hire first happened and he filled his coaching staff with a bunch of scrubs, resigned to being half-heartedly optimistic going into the season (in the sense that I hoped it would be a scrape your way to 6 or 7 wins and improve as the season goes along type of deal), deeply concerned after TCU, furious and ready to fire Belichick after UCF, and now after the Clemson performance and all of the reports that have surfaced, I’m at the point that I can only laugh at the absurdity of it all.

It comes out like a day ago that our effing starting QB was in an effing car crash right before the season started and that news is barely getting any mention lol. You seriously can’t make this shit up.

FWIW, AJ is not IC

After judging 247's content and community i've thought of making the switch from 247 to IC, though they aren't miles apart in quality. Until today i've decided to just let premium expire all together.

But if he gets fired i'm going to join IC just for Mac ttp's lists of coaches and his commentary on everyone's dumb ideas.

So, basically the "insiders" decided to sell some more premium subscriptions by posting vague things like "buckle up" and "holy smokes", when in actuality nothing happened. Seems like a good business model.

Negative. In fact Ben told them to delete those tweets. If this were about selling subscriptions, that is not how the owner would act.

No numbers on uniforms in spring, BB paying off chapel hill to bury the story about his QB1 getting into a wreck... What else is being concealed? LOL.

Cmon. You don’t need to payoff anyone. Accident reports are not in a database. The only reason it became public was a leak to a reporter.

Maybe they can buy the Hulu outtakes.

From Mandel’s Mailbag:

Bill Belichick has made Carolina football nationally relevant! As an alum, how should I celebrate this newfound relevance? — Jonathan, Fletcher, N.C.

If I were you, the thing I’d celebrate most is them dropping out of the Hulu docuseries. The games themselves are embarrassing enough to watch.

Speaking of which, if anyone out there has the footage the crew had filmed to this point, please email stewart@theathletic.com

Andrew Jones is doing far more than those tweets. Ben, in particular, has always had higher publishing standards than others. There isn’t a check with me process for individual staff tweets. But once the story got ahead of itself - in part flamed by AJ - Ben told them to delete those tweets.

For me, it's Jason's video breakdowns. Worth the IC subscription for that alone. I'm going through physical withdrawal symptoms. The only thing that's keeping pulling the trigger already is that I really don't want to see any videos of the mess that UNC has been putting on the field so far this year.

This is fair, it was out of character for IC (except Joey Powell, that guy sucks)
