Aaron chats with David Glenn about UNC baseball as the Diamond Heels head to Omaha for the College World Series. Carolina’s been to Omaha many times this century, but hasn’t won a national title yet – but Glenn says they’re talented enough to get over the hump this year. (Also, Aaron and David chat about the Carolina Hurricanes, who have their own pivotal game tonight as well.)
