As previously stated, I don't think anyone can have as much of an impact on the team as Wile coming in. We all knew what was going to happen last year if we saw our FG kickers run onto the field. This year, if Wile takes the job, which I would assume he does, we don't have to look at FG's as being a turnover and instead points on the scoreboard.
First time commenting, but since I didn't see anyone reply to comments they saw during the interviews, I figured I would give some insight, although not much, from what I did see. Jay even admitted, being from that school in Ohio, that he's looking forward to seeing the 30 at 30 doc. Who isn't though...from what I remember:
1) They talked about who and how the baggy shorts and black socks/shoes came about. Jalen said it was a team effort but Nike was throwing 20 pairs of shoes and money their way a week, so why not. Jimmy said they wanted to be comfortable while playing so they approached Coach Fisher to give the thumbs up for all their hard work on the practice court. The rest is history.
2) Talked about their hatred for Duke. Jalen made it very clear they will go after black kids, but ones that are from polished families, not the inner city kids because they assume they aren't smart. They discribed the hatred for Duke on the same level as Ohio State. Talked about how Duke had the better team that year, but how we were better than NC the following year. Jalen made it a point to say there is the game of basketball and then the game of life. Lets just say after the game both teams ended up at the same location. While they couldn't get in and had to stand in line, we were inside sitting in VIP.
3) Jimmy said all members of the 5 are still very close, keeping up with news of each others children and work. When asked if you could go back would you want to be part of the Fab 5 or a championship team, all 3 answered with the Fab 5, of course. Jalen made the point to add who won the NC 3 years ago....here we are 20 years later talking about the Fab 5.
I think that just about covers it all, although they didn't have much air time on First Take. Watching what I did only makes me want to fast forward time to Sunday, but then what fun would it be not dealing with the anticipation leading up to it.
