Canes and College Football Games

The Carolina Hurricanes are off to a 2-1 start this season as they defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 on opening night, and last night they began their five-game road stretch with a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

Chris and Dennis also preview #15 NC State at #18 Syracuse and how Devin Leary's injury will impact the game. Also, North Carolina and Duke meet under the lights in a primetime matchup for the "Victory Bell" and Coastal division standings.

In this weekly series, Chris Lea (WRAL-TV) and Dennis Cox (99.9 The Fan) interview famed sports figures, entertainers and pop-culture icons about their love of and contributions to the North Carolina sports culture and the state's large, sometimes over-looked, impact on the national sports scene. Culture State instills pride in natives, residents and fans in what’s produced or influenced by our state, while also generating intriguing continuing fan conversations and water-cooler moment laughs.
