Packer & Durham

[Chip]

Listening this morning. Wes really loves us.

Best offensive player in the ACC (edit: in October h/t Bees) - Tucker

Best defensive player in the ACC (edit: in October h/t Bees) - Roscoe

Packer went with Armstrong at UVA and Johnson at FSU.

I watch it every afternoon on the DVR. Wes likes us indeed but Packer does not. It’s clear he’s a good old boy and is slow to mention us or give us praise. On a side note, the episode yesterday was brutal; took Packer 20 minutes before he finally started talking about football. No one cares about his stupid antics at his ND trip.

As salty as I may sound, it is my favorite show and I watch every episode during football season, lol.

Packer has raved about Tucker all season, every week. Probably even more than Durham.

Just a note…it was for the month of October.

I watch every single episode and respectfully disagree. Sure he admits how great Tucker is (who doesn’t) but I have never seen any long substantial talks about him. It’s typically a 10-20 second quip. Also our game coverage is rarely ever mentioned in the first hour of their program. Durham seems to talk about us longer than Packer. Admittedly Packer does like Dino though.

I watch it every morning at 7. Packer gushes about Tucker. Has a bromance with Dino. Gushes about Roscoe. Raves about our defense. Durham may talk more about them because that’s his job. He’s the details guy who throws out all the stats and the like.

Agree, I think Packer gives us a lot of love.

One weird dynamic though, curious if you think this. While they certainly get along, it seems like Packer is often giving Durham a hard time. Something a bit more than just standard bust your balls type stuff.

 

[djorange1989]

Besides Wes the guy out there who, shockingly, seems to like us is Herbstreit. Nice to not hear his, and others, nasty comments about our program.

You can't have a child of Billy Packer and not expect SOME abrasiveness.

I’m not sure either but I tend to think it’s busting chops. Durham seems to laugh or smile at a lot at it.

Ha, agree. But I'll take Mark any day. Credit to the mom.

 

[David332]

I think they seem to genuinely both like each other, Packer just has a slightly abrasive personality. Durham is more of a gentlemen. Also Packer is more boisterous about his opinions and Wes seems to be amused by it.

By the way, does Durham take a weekly day off from the show during football season? Between his daily, doing the RSN game on Saturdays and the Falcons on Sunday, he works every day.

He’s off most fridays

Those two are consistently favorable towards Cuse. They are pretty entertaining when i tune in for cuse interviews.

I think he gets his work ethic from his late father Woody.

When you love what you do... it's not work.

Was thinking more about jet lag.

And also, when you love what you do, it still gets old.

You know what won't get old? Retirement and not working.

Of course, I'll be old but whatever. Can't wait.

Yeah I’m still 20 years away but Lord willing I’ll retire right at 60. Someone asked me if I’d be bothered that my wife (9 years younger) would still be working after I retire, to which I responded not at all. Life is to short.

My goal is no later than 60 also. 15 more years. I enjoy my job, but I want to enjoy life while I am still healthy.

3 years min. 5 years max. Then year round golf.

I retired at 56...Best decision I ever made. Still busy as ever but I don't have to deal with commuting and office drama.

For as much flack as Coach Gilbert has taken with the offense, we should all remember that Roscoe wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.
