In this week’s episode, it is the 2012-2013 Post-Season Awards Show. MVP. Best Stat. Best Dunk. And of course, Best Hair. In the Duke Sucks segment, we ponder “Where hast thou gone, O Dookie Floor Slap?

That's a wrap on the season. What happened against Kansas, and did the Heels over or underachieve for the season? We also revisit our season predictions done way back in October to see how correct we were (not very), and in Dook sucks this week, Andy encounters a clueless Dookie at the Huffington Post.

The Heels couldn't get it done in the ACC Tournament final, but it was a nice effort, and we're looking forward to the damage Carolina might do in the NCAAs. That said, c'mon. A #8 seed? We're calling BS? Also, what's with the selection committee's obsession with pairing up Roy Williams and Kansas. It's getting creepy. In this week's Dook Sucks, we've got an anecdote from a New York Times #1 bestselling author.

In this week’s episode, Reed and Andy are still a little depressed over the Duke game. OK, a lot depressed. We try to figure out why the Heels couldn’t get it done and what this means going forward. While we aren’t worried about making the tournament anymore, we keep an eye on the seeding possibilities and tell you how the team is positioned for the upcoming ACC Tournament. We also ask WWWD? (What will Wiggins do?) In this week’s “Duke Sucks”, yet another letter to The Chronicle reveals a dookie to be, well, a dookie. But with a twist.

Two huge wins this past week, but Andy and Reed wonder if all this stellar play is the true personality of the team...or is Carolina due for a crash. Also, we give some love to Reggie Bullock and check in with former UNC alum who are now coaches. In Dook Sucks, Coach K manages to hypnotize the media with a shiny swinging object into talking about the merits of rushing the court instead of the real story: the fact that the Blue Devils can't win on the road.

To them, it's their Super Bowl. To us, it's just another conference game. We discuss the very important win over wannabe rival NC State. Also, renovations might be planned for the Dean Dome. We throw out our suggestions of what should be done, including updating the awful bathrooms. In Dook Sucks, a big-dreaming entrepreneur with a wing and a pastry bag crashed to earth this week. If you listen to this podcast, you probably already know who it is.

A Led Zeppelin reunion tour. A decent NBC show. A unicorn. Carolina making a change in the starting line-up. These are all things we never thought we'd see in our lifetime. But that last one happened, and suddenly, UNC is playing much better. We discuss. Also, we've got part 2 of our NBA All-Star awards for Heels in the pros. In Dook Sucks, the Blue Devils always have some lame excuse when they lose.

In this week’s episode, we really, really didn’t want to talk about the starting lineup but it just can’t be avoided. Apparently there is a line painted on the court and if you stand behind that line and make a shot, it counts for three points! Who knew? The goal for Wednesday’s game in Durham? Don’t get humiliated. Yay! Since it is NBA All-Star week, we hand out awards for the Heels in The League and the dookies have given us a bounty of things to pick from for this week’s reason why “Duke Sucks”.

This week, despite getting two wins closer to the tournament, Reed and Andy are stumped trying to figure out a way to avoid the slow starts. Will the Virginia Tech overtime win be the defining moment for Marcus Paige this season? At this point, we are pretty sure Roy is just messing with us on this starting center thing. We take a look at where the Heels rank in some national statistics – and the picture it paints is surprising. In “Duke Sucks”, a Duke grad embarrasses herself in written form and, don’t look now, but we have some hate mail.

Reed and Andy are back with reactions to the NC State loss. Will Coach Williams listen to the cries for more PJ Hairston? Does the current starting lineup force the Heels to have to climb uphill for the rest of the game? We take a peak at how we are doing against Andy’s psychotic “Will We Make The Tournament” spreadsheet and try to lay down some simple “Jackie Manuel” type rules for the team. In “Duke Sucks”, we marvel at Warren Sapp’s suggestions.
