Latest / Mac & Bone Podcast / Mac & Bone Hour 4: College Football Confidence
Transcript
- 0:12Speaker 1: There is always the possibility, maybe remote, but there's always
- 0:16Speaker 1: the possibility that at the end of the year, Dabo
- 0:20Speaker 1: looks in the mirror and just acknowledges it's time. And
- 0:26Speaker 1: he comes to you and he says, I understand what
- 0:30Speaker 1: the situation is. Let's talk about this. I'm not letting
- 0:34Speaker 1: you off the hook, but if we want to negotiate
- 0:38Speaker 1: something here, okay. Now, that's unlikely, and he does not
- 0:42Speaker 1: owe you anything. He does not owe it to you
- 0:44Speaker 1: to do that. He could, but I think he's got
- 0:47Speaker 1: to initiate that. If Clemson comes to him and says, hey,
- 0:50Speaker 1: we want to talk reduced buyout, he's going to slam
- 0:53Speaker 1: the door in their face. So there's no sign this
- 0:57Speaker 1: gets better. There are plenty of signs it gets worse.
- 1:02Speaker 2: So this whole segment of college football confidence and talking
- 1:06Speaker 2: about these matchups, and I'm not going to claim bonus
- 1:08Speaker 2: the greatest weekend.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Of college football, but often those end up being good ones.
- 1:12Speaker 3: And there's some juice.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I like some of these matchups for local teams, but
- 1:16Speaker 2: I was going to build this as this is a
- 1:18Speaker 2: fun segment. We preview college football Saturday. And then I realized.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I scheduled it to start with that clip that was
- 1:25Speaker 2: going to probably make Clemson fans sad again.
- 1:27Speaker 3: So I apologize.
- 1:29Speaker 2: That's Josh Pate telling you how messed up the Dabo
- 1:32Speaker 2: situation is.
- 1:32Speaker 4: It's a positive segment, Miami or UNC. How do you
- 1:36Speaker 4: feel about Miami, NC State? How do you deal with
- 1:39Speaker 4: your coach getting fired? And Clemson, what the hell do
- 1:42Speaker 4: we do with Dabo? But other than that, at least
- 1:44Speaker 4: we ain't talking Panther.
- 1:48Speaker 5: 704-570-9610.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Who's happy? Oh, my God. I really like the Florida
- 1:51Speaker 3: State-Clemson matchup.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Now, I want to say, when I say this, I'm
- 1:55Speaker 2: not saying this is like Jameis Winston at Florida State
- 1:59Speaker 2: and Clemson was great.
- 2:01Speaker 3: I'm not trying to compare it to that. You love
- 2:03Speaker 3: it for who may get to the Cheez-It Bowl.
- 2:05Speaker 2: It's... Mayo Bowl bid on the line, baby. I just
- 2:10Speaker 2: think it's kind of an interesting matchup. I do have
- 2:13Speaker 2: a bad feeling that... And Clemson's not winning the game,
- 2:17Speaker 2: but Florida State has this element of they have the ability, Bone,
- 2:21Speaker 2: to look really good in stretches. See the Virginia game.
- 2:24Speaker 2: See the start of the Louisville game. See the Miami game.
- 2:27Speaker 2: They have the ability to look pretty damn bad in stretches.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I just.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I have so little faith in the Clemson offense bone
- 2:35Speaker 2: that I would say it's equal to.
- 2:36Speaker 3: My faith in the Panthers offense right now. Oh, my God.
- 2:39Speaker 3: But the Florida State defense is not good. Not good
- 2:42Speaker 3: run or pass. I don't know.
- 2:43Speaker 4: What do you think about this one? It's a six-point spread.
- 2:46Speaker 4: Florida State at home favored by Stakes. I wouldn't bet
- 2:49Speaker 4: on this game with your money. Because I think I
- 2:53Speaker 4: know what exactly Clemson is right now. The problem is
- 2:56Speaker 4: I don't know what Florida State is. They could come
- 2:58Speaker 4: out and win 31-10. They could end up losing this.
- 3:01Speaker 4: I have no idea what the nulls are.
- 3:03Speaker 3: That's fair.
- 3:04Speaker 4: From a betting standpoint, I'd stay away from that. I
- 3:06Speaker 4: think Florida State probably... does win but it's a great
- 3:11Speaker 4: unknown of what ford is clemson i know who's showing
- 3:13Speaker 4: up it's going to be a team with a really
- 3:16Speaker 4: bad offense that isn't going to play a very exciting
- 3:18Speaker 4: style of football florida state i have no idea which
- 3:21Speaker 4: one showed up clemson no clue run the day anybody
- 3:23Speaker 4: does clemson.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Needs to gideon davidson to play way better than last
- 3:26Speaker 2: week run the damn football And I would say, can
- 3:29Speaker 2: you get pass plays downfield on a shaky Florida state secondary,
- 3:33Speaker 2: but the Clemson O-line, like same thing as a band. Like,
- 3:36Speaker 2: are they matter of fact, if you're a Clemson fan,
- 3:38Speaker 2: how do you watch both these O-lines right now and
- 3:40Speaker 2: maintain sanity and sobriety?
- 3:42Speaker 4: Is that even possible? Based off some people I see,
- 3:44Speaker 4: I don't think they are. Good morning to Doc.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I want to point out that Florida State could be
- 3:49Speaker 3: had on defense. Is Clemson's offense the one to do it?
- 3:54Speaker 2: We got a texter earlier that said if Vizina doesn't
- 3:56Speaker 2: get in in this game, they're losing their mind. Keep
- 4:00Speaker 2: in mind, he did not play. I know he's healthy now.
- 4:03Speaker 2: He didn't play well when healthy early in the season.
- 4:05Speaker 2: He opened a door for Reynolds. I think he's wanted
- 4:09Speaker 2: because he hasn't played in a while. That's all it is. Hey,
- 4:13Speaker 2: we haven't seen the guy that's also not very good. No,
- 4:14Speaker 2: I'll put him back in there. The same reason during
- 4:17Speaker 2: the break we had a serious conversation about putting Stone
- 4:19Speaker 2: Forsyth in for Rasheed Walker.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Right.
- 4:21Speaker 3: It's like, I know he's not very good, but can
- 4:23Speaker 3: he be worse than this? All right.
- 4:24Speaker 2: So you said earlier that you're feeling very confident about
- 4:29Speaker 2: the Gamecocks and shakier about Duke Gamecocks at Oklahoma. Duke
- 4:34Speaker 2: at home against BC. Where does your South Carolina confidence
- 4:38Speaker 2: come from? You don't have this fear bone that you'll
- 4:40Speaker 2: be the latest SEC team to have like a letdown
- 4:45Speaker 2: After the big win.
- 4:47Speaker 4: It reminds me of the game a couple of years ago. Now,
- 4:49Speaker 4: last year, South Carolina, 50 and I were there against Oklahoma,
- 4:53Speaker 4: did not play well at all. And they got blown
- 4:55Speaker 4: out by the Sooners when they went to Norman a
- 4:57Speaker 4: couple of years ago. Mac, in a similar stretch of
- 5:00Speaker 4: the season, when they started to get hot, they absolutely destroyed.
- 5:05Speaker 4: I think the way Sellers is playing, if they can
- 5:08Speaker 4: go down there, Matt, and beat the Florida Gators and
- 5:11Speaker 4: keep that offense down and win a game like they did,
- 5:13Speaker 4: they can go to Norman. Although Oklahoma's defense is good,
- 5:17Speaker 4: they can go to Norman and put up enough points
- 5:19Speaker 4: there to beat Oklahoma. So they're five and a half
- 5:22Speaker 4: point underdogs in this game.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Kind of interesting.
- 5:25Speaker 4: I think the Gamecocks win this game outright and continue
- 5:28Speaker 4: the momentum. If you can beat Florida and Tennessee, you
- 5:31Speaker 4: can do what Kentucky did, go to Norman and get
- 5:33Speaker 4: a victory.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Can we run Gamecock-Mac back? Can we run a backbone?
- 5:37Speaker 3: It worked last week. Absolutely.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I know Gamecock fans did not want me on the wagon,
- 5:41Speaker 2: but it worked last week.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Get back in that Macaboose.
- 5:44Speaker 2: So you're worried about the Oklahoma defense that is so
- 5:46Speaker 2: good against the run. Their pass rush is second in
- 5:48Speaker 2: the country in games against FBS teams. But I will
- 5:51Speaker 2: point out, South Carolina's O-line has been pretty damn good.
- 5:54Speaker 3: They fixed that in the portal.
- 5:56Speaker 4: And Sellers is playing with the confidence he hasn't really
- 6:00Speaker 4: had in the last couple of years. It's a new confidence.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Now he's, look, you got to take the good with
- 6:05Speaker 4: the bad for the spectacular. He may put the ball
- 6:07Speaker 4: in the ground. He might throw a pick. We just
- 6:09Speaker 4: have to live with that, that he's going to do
- 6:11Speaker 4: stuff that sometimes drives you crazy. But last week, the
- 6:14Speaker 4: difference was he went out and made up for that
- 6:16Speaker 4: at the end of the game.
- 6:16Speaker 3: He did. He did.
- 6:17Speaker 2: And he has of late the last couple games. I, um,
- 6:20Speaker 2: I think sellers could be the key to the run game.
- 6:22Speaker 2: They have really leaned now all the way into sellers
- 6:25Speaker 2: in the run game. And I think that's the way
- 6:27Speaker 2: to do it. And I think maybe they can, they
- 6:30Speaker 2: can get some run game going. If the backs can't
- 6:32Speaker 2: get going, like Fuller wasn't great last week, 9 for 28,
- 6:35Speaker 2: but Sellers goes for almost 100. What do you think about–
- 6:38Speaker 2: By the way, the spread is down to 3.5 for
- 6:40Speaker 2: Oklahoma now. So people are betting South Carolina.
- 6:42Speaker 4: And it's 63% of the money lines on South Carolina
- 6:45Speaker 4: and 63% of the spread money. So Vegas is saying, yeah,
- 6:50Speaker 4: we believe in the Gamecocks in this game.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Come on, Gamecocks.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Don't have a letdown. Don't have any sort of like–
- 6:55Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 6:57Speaker 4: This is a big one because if they can go– Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
- 7:03Speaker 4: that's three games in a row that a couple weeks ago, Mac,
- 7:05Speaker 4: you would have said, can they get any of those games?
- 7:08Speaker 4: And then it's A & M and Arkansas. So you
- 7:10Speaker 4: can really start to see a streak being put together
- 7:13Speaker 4: if they can win this one. There's a little bit
- 7:15Speaker 4: of help ahead. It's a swing game right here.
- 7:19Speaker 2: They've got Clemson down the line as well, another win.
- 7:23Speaker 3: I don't even know.
- 7:25Speaker 2: If Clemson fans will argue with you right now after
- 7:27Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, seven Oh four, five, seven
- 7:30Speaker 2: Oh nine, six, 10 Gamecock fans.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Do you have that confidence? Clemson fans?
- 7:34Speaker 2: We got to get into Carolina with a shot at
- 7:36Speaker 2: the number one team in the country. Uh, Miami, can
- 7:40Speaker 2: they hang around like they did against Notre Dame grownup?
- 7:43Speaker 2: Lunchables bone is a text name that I enjoy. Um,
- 7:47Speaker 2: still thinks Lenores needs to learn how to throw it away.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I think that's That's probably an accurate point. This dude says,
- 7:54Speaker 2: forget about Sellers turnovers. Mateer going to hand out the
- 7:58Speaker 2: football like it's candy for trick-or-treaters tomorrow. Yes, can the
- 8:03Speaker 2: Gamecock defense get after him? Oklahoma's pass pro is bad.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Can Stewart make plays again? He did well against them
- 8:09Speaker 2: last year. Can Durashaw get after him?
- 8:11Speaker 4: Mateer did well against them last year, but he's not
- 8:13Speaker 4: the same guy he was a year ago.
- 8:15Speaker 2: This dude said, I heard Mac earlier completely saying we
- 8:20Speaker 2: have no chance to hang against Miami. He's talking about
- 8:22Speaker 2: the heels. I saw them hang against Notre Dame. That,
- 8:27Speaker 2: to me, qualifies you as a team that can push Miami.
- 8:30Speaker 2: You brought up this point earlier, Bone. Are they similar?
- 8:35Speaker 2: I mean, Miami's different in terms of they're more explosive.
- 8:38Speaker 4: What do you think? Notre Dame kind of bleeds you
- 8:42Speaker 4: to death for a while and eventually, for the most part,
- 8:45Speaker 4: will eventually end up extending the game out to a
- 8:48Speaker 4: big lead. Miami is just immediately, it can be 7-0
- 8:52Speaker 4: right away. And you brought up some good points, too.
- 8:55Speaker 4: This is a game where... If UNC gets down 10-0, 14-0,
- 9:01Speaker 4: how can their offense and the way they want to
- 9:03Speaker 4: play compete with Miami? I think it's a better UNC team.
- 9:07Speaker 4: I think there's fight. Was UNC better matched up with
- 9:13Speaker 4: the way Notre Dame wants to play versus the way
- 9:16Speaker 4: Miami wants to play? I don't think it's a very
- 9:18Speaker 4: good matchup for the heels.
- 9:20Speaker 2: 704 says I was in the house when we beat
- 9:22Speaker 2: a top five ranked Miami. You have to believe. Here's
- 9:26Speaker 2: the problem, though. Your ambassador on the show. Fitty, Aloysius, Fitzgerald, Aloysius, Marlowe. Fitzgerald.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Even he's being negative. I thought Fitty would have some fight.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Why do you not, Fitty, unless you change your opinion
- 9:42Speaker 2: and now you're confident, why do you not think the
- 9:46Speaker 2: Notre Dame, like they hung with Notre Dame means they
- 9:48Speaker 2: can hang with Miami?
- 9:49Speaker 3: Why are you not buying that? What do you think?
- 9:50Speaker 5: Because of what happened last Saturday night and how it happened.
- 9:54Speaker 5: Like you lost at home to a Syracuse team you
- 9:57Speaker 5: had no business losing to. Jones- Angel brought up the
- 10:00Speaker 5: point yesterday look at what happens when this team gets
- 10:02Speaker 5: double-digit leads they usually blow it like there's not really
- 10:06Speaker 5: any confidence if they were to even get up on
- 10:08Speaker 5: Miami they could keep Miami down and I also just
- 10:12Speaker 5: as much as like I think Carolina's not ready for
- 10:14Speaker 5: this it's also more about where I think Miami that
- 10:17Speaker 5: team is special Like, this is as close to Miami
- 10:22Speaker 5: from the 80s and the 90s that I've ever seen.
- 10:25Speaker 3: They're finally back.
- 10:25Speaker 5: Where they just walk out there and they kick your ass.
- 10:27Speaker 2: The we're back boys are finally backbone. If someone texts
- 10:30Speaker 2: in the Canes are back, I can't argue with them
- 10:32Speaker 2: for the first time.
- 10:32Speaker 3: In a long time. Are you going to the game?
- 10:35Speaker 3: I am not. Were you supposed to go?
- 10:38Speaker 5: It was on the table.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Flounder's not happy with you. Do you know that? What's
- 10:43Speaker 3: going on here with this? Is he not? I don't...
- 10:47Speaker 3: Am I not supposed to say this?
- 10:47Speaker 2: What happened?
- 10:48Speaker 3: No, I need to know. Now we gotta know.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I think Fitty changed to make plans with his girlfriend
- 10:53Speaker 2: or something?
- 10:53Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Or no? Or do I have the story wrong?
- 10:56Speaker 5: I was invited to go trick-or-treating.
- 11:00Speaker 6: And, um.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Oh, you're looking for treats, all right. Remember Fitty Mac?
- 11:06Speaker 3: I'm a man. I watch my game. Not a football guy, Fitty.
- 11:09Speaker 3: I know Dave Dern's sports. I'm a man. I'm Fitty.
- 11:12Speaker 3: I wish as Marlo. We also... Are you... Dressing up?
- 11:18Speaker 5: No. I'm just going with a group of people.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Are there kids involved or just a bunch of adults? Oh,
- 11:25Speaker 3: you're taking kids out. Okay. You sure you're not dressing up?
- 11:28Speaker 3: That was a delayed response there, Al Michaels.
- 11:29Speaker 2: No, I know I'm not dressing up. He's dressing up,
- 11:34Speaker 2: isn't he? It sounded like there was something there. Hey,
- 11:36Speaker 2: give him your pirate costume.
- 11:37Speaker 5: We also don't even have tickets secured for the game yet,
- 11:40Speaker 5: so he can get mad all he wants.
- 11:41Speaker 3: So I don't act like it was set and y'all
- 11:43Speaker 3: were going to the game and you bailed.
- 11:44Speaker 5: No, we haven't gotten the email from the station to
- 11:47Speaker 5: try to win tickets, so he can get mad all
- 11:48Speaker 5: he wants. Also, when the day finally comes that he's
- 11:52Speaker 5: in my situation, he'll be doing the exact same thing.
- 11:56Speaker 3: You know what?
- 11:57Speaker 2: The same day as that happens, Rasheed Walker will have
- 11:59Speaker 2: a hell of a game.
- 12:01Speaker 3: We're in that territory. No offense, Flounder, at all. Man, Finney,
- 12:04Speaker 3: you are a love bird. how about this heels are
- 12:07Speaker 3: playing the number one team in the country and it's
- 12:11Speaker 3: like no we take it to kiddies trick or treating
- 12:13Speaker 3: it's just.
- 12:13Speaker 4: So funny oh my god you missed the game you're
- 12:16Speaker 4: not a football guy I'm a football.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Man I'm not a football guy candy guy I don't
- 12:19Speaker 3: date women in sport lover boy I don't date women
- 12:22Speaker 3: during football season I'll.
- 12:23Speaker 5: Just walk around with the game on my phone while
- 12:25Speaker 5: they're doing the trick or treat.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Thing Put my AirPod in and do my thing.
- 12:30Speaker 3: He has turned into you very quickly. Oh, that is
- 12:33Speaker 3: so funny.
- 12:33Speaker 4: He just ripped me for it three weeks ago. He's
- 12:35Speaker 4: going to have a beer with the neighborhood guys and
- 12:36Speaker 4: walk around trick-or-treating.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Now, I did enjoy that. My kids are now so old,
- 12:40Speaker 3: like Caitlin. Go with Finney. I won't even take Caitlin around.
- 12:43Speaker 2: They're old enough to do it or whatever. But I
- 12:45Speaker 2: do kind of miss when you have the beer in
- 12:46Speaker 2: your cup and you're going around. That's some good dad time, man.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And we've got a neighborhood place to hands out jello
- 12:53Speaker 2: shots to the parents.
- 12:54Speaker 5: Right.
- 12:54Speaker 2: I may walk down there even though we're not trick-or-treating.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I may just head down. I may have to grab
- 12:58Speaker 2: a kid, though, to take down there.
- 13:00Speaker 6: All right.
- 13:00Speaker 3: That sounded a little bit weird.
- 13:02Speaker 2: That sounded weird. Deke fan on the text line. Brian says,
- 13:06Speaker 2: I'm a diehard Deke fan. Are we just so good
- 13:09Speaker 2: that y'all don't even ask if we should be confident anymore?
- 13:12Speaker 3: You're like 12 and a half.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Point favorites against Virginia, and I don't want to jinx it, Brian,
- 13:16Speaker 2: or any Deke fan out there. And I was going
- 13:18Speaker 2: to get to the game. I expect them... to handle them. Like,
- 13:24Speaker 2: I just think the Deeks are getting better every week.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Bone.
- 13:28Speaker 2: I think they're playing better every week on both sides
- 13:31Speaker 2: of the ball. And I've just been thoroughly unoppressed with
- 13:34Speaker 2: this Virginia team.
- 13:35Speaker 3: I know they gave Duke a game, but I don't
- 13:38Speaker 3: know about you.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Like I don't expect it to be close.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Really. I mean, we definitely should talk about you and
- 13:43Speaker 3: hype y'all up, but I early in.
- 13:44Speaker 4: The season, you kept waiting for wake, maybe to come
- 13:47Speaker 4: back to earth a little bit and get into more
- 13:50Speaker 4: close games where you say oh yeah they they won
- 13:53Speaker 4: but they didn't look like we thought they would that's
- 13:56Speaker 4: not happened and at some point wake forest under jake
- 13:59Speaker 4: dickert this is just who they are they are just
- 14:03Speaker 4: a team that can now be 12 and a half
- 14:05Speaker 4: point favorites and go in there and cover with no
- 14:07Speaker 4: problem so i'm no longer thinking there's going to be
- 14:09Speaker 4: some drop off wake is legit And Wake should cover
- 14:14Speaker 4: at home the 12 and a half. Also, I don't
- 14:17Speaker 4: have much belief in Virginia either. So it's a dual
- 14:22Speaker 4: thing here where I don't have belief in Virginia. I
- 14:25Speaker 4: have belief in Wake Forest. Bad spot for the Hoos.
- 14:28Speaker 4: I don't know why I'm talking like that.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Like, here's the thing. Virginia and Bo Perbiola going to
- 14:32Speaker 2: compete in a shootout against Geo? Because I'm not sure
- 14:35Speaker 2: you're shutting the offense down. We don't talk enough about
- 14:36Speaker 2: Wake's defense and how good they are.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Yeah, like that front. If they stuff the Virginia run,
- 14:41Speaker 3: what's Perbiola doing? You know? Exactly. No, it's Husky Pan.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Husky Pan says, Finney went zero to Mack in 4.5 seconds.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Let's see here. What do we think about the group
- 14:54Speaker 3: of six? We got Charlotte.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Tonight against Tulane at home, coming off the win and
- 14:59Speaker 2: the bye week for Charlotte.
- 15:01Speaker 3: We've got.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Temple or ECU against Temple, a Temple team Charlotte beat.
- 15:07Speaker 2: We got App at Georgia Southern.
- 15:11Speaker 3: We feeling any wins for any of this trio?
- 15:14Speaker 4: App is five and a half point underdogs against Georgia Southern,
- 15:18Speaker 4: the best defensive team in the Sun, but I believe
- 15:22Speaker 4: that people are thinking there'll be a drop-off from the
- 15:25Speaker 4: home win over JMU to now Georgia Southern, but that
- 15:29Speaker 4: spread did surprise me.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Now.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Look, they've lost to them before, of course.
- 15:34Speaker 4: But, Mac, I think that App's having a better year
- 15:38Speaker 4: than to be 5.0 underdogs to a team under.
- 15:42Speaker 2: 500, right?
- 15:42Speaker 3: I would love those points, man.
- 15:43Speaker 2: If I could bet— if I had more than seven cents
- 15:46Speaker 2: in my account, Bone, and was allowed to do so.
- 15:48Speaker 3: I definitely would bet. Still seven cents.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I definitely would bet. Even after a trip to Harrah's,
- 15:52Speaker 2: he's still at seven cents. Still just stuck there at seven. Yeah,
- 15:56Speaker 2: I just— I look at Georgia Southern statistically, too, Bone.
- 16:01Speaker 2: 89 points per game against FBS teams.
- 16:04Speaker 3: 77 points allowed per game. What's the strength of their
- 16:10Speaker 3: football team? Defense. Defense is better. They're still giving up
- 16:14Speaker 3: 27 points a game, though. But the offense is definitely
- 16:17Speaker 3: not as strong. The passing game, actually. They pass it
- 16:20Speaker 3: pretty damn well. They don't run it really well. I
- 16:23Speaker 3: like this App State defense. I think the defense is good, Bone,
- 16:27Speaker 3: and improved. Yeah. I like Singleton a quarterback. I wonder
- 16:32Speaker 3: how they're going to mix Hasselbeck in. I don't know.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I think AAP can do it. And I'll say right now,
- 16:36Speaker 2: ECU's winning, y'all. ECU is winning.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Six and a half point favorites, I don't know. Or six.
- 16:41Speaker 3: They've been playing, yeah. And that tracks, too.
- 16:43Speaker 2: They've been close the last couple of weeks. I think
- 16:47Speaker 2: they're going to get it done. They've got to get
- 16:48Speaker 2: it down the field, man. They've got to.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Mitch Griffiths. I forgot who the hell they went back to.
- 16:56Speaker 2: I forgot what quarterback was quarterbacking. Mitch Griffiths hit some
- 16:59Speaker 2: shots downfield. I think you can do it against his
- 17:01Speaker 2: Temple team. Charlotte did it against them. So I think
- 17:04Speaker 2: ECU's winning. Charlotte, I don't know, man. I'd like to
- 17:07Speaker 2: think they're now at a different level because they played
- 17:12Speaker 2: a different level against Temple, but I don't know what
- 17:14Speaker 2: to think.
- 17:15Speaker 4: Yeah, the point spread got a lot closer for them
- 17:17Speaker 4: tonight than it normally did. Now, they're still 10-point underdogs
- 17:21Speaker 4: at home, but compared to what some of the spreads
- 17:24Speaker 4: have been, obviously people are thinking, all right, well, they—
- 17:27Speaker 4: You know, they won a game, so it changed a
- 17:29Speaker 4: little bit there. Tulane's just 3-4, but I don't know
- 17:34Speaker 4: if they're good enough to beat Tulane, though.
- 17:37Speaker 3: I still think Tulane would cover the 10, right?
- 17:40Speaker 2: Tulane routed Memphis, man.
- 17:43Speaker 3: That was impressive.
- 17:43Speaker 4: CBSSports.com did a hot seat ranking with... some intel, and
- 17:47Speaker 4: there's some thought that Tim Alvin could be in trouble here.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Yeah, and the new AD.
- 17:54Speaker 4: A source thing where they had Charlotte on there, and
- 17:57Speaker 4: it said that, yeah, there's some chatter there.
- 17:59Speaker 3: New AD part of that. New AD is, well, that
- 18:02Speaker 3: and the fact that Tim Alvin's won two games. I
- 18:04Speaker 3: don't know.
- 18:04Speaker 2: God, I'd love to see him turn it around. Hey,
- 18:06Speaker 2: even if they don't win the night, man, Wes Miller's
- 18:08Speaker 2: hoopsters look good. Right?
- 18:10Speaker 3: That's promising. I'll give you that.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Now, Tulane did lose last week 42-19 after the Memphis game.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. They're mid, right?
- 18:18Speaker 2: They've dropped down from being really good with Summerall to
- 18:22Speaker 2: mid right now. But can Charlotte beat mid? Temple's probably
- 18:27Speaker 2: a bit below mid. They've got to run the ball.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I love the fact Rutledge is involved now. That kid's
- 18:33Speaker 2: been through a lot. He ran the ball well. I
- 18:35Speaker 2: hope he can keep it up. I wouldn't bet on it, though.
- 18:37Speaker 2: He wins by seven cents. This would be a win
- 18:39Speaker 2: streak for Charlie. We can't say that too often.
- 18:42Speaker 3: No, not at all, man.
- 18:44Speaker 4: When we come back on the Mac and Bone Show,
- 18:46Speaker 4: Zach Gelb, Compass Media, joins us to talk about the
- 18:49Speaker 4: Panther game last night.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Panther game last night. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Oh, God.
- 19:16Speaker 2: We're going to get back to talking about the Panthers,
- 19:18Speaker 2: which could just completely ruin the vibe. But stay tuned anyway. Yeah,
- 19:23Speaker 2: listen anyway. We've got some juicy stuff happening now. So
- 19:26Speaker 2: Picante was able to beat me in the picks challenge.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Of course. Of course he did. I can't pick my
- 19:32Speaker 3: nose bone. I'm so horrible at picks. Yeah, you can.
- 19:35Speaker 3: But he has agreed to put his pick segment on
- 19:38Speaker 3: the line. Yeah, you can.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Put the pick segment on the line again against the
- 19:42Speaker 2: bone man, the savvy better that the Bone Man is.
- 19:46Speaker 2: So that's coming up in a few minutes.
- 19:47Speaker 3: So three picks each, right?
- 19:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:49Speaker 3: And I can go NFL also?
- 19:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:52Speaker 3: Okay, so I think I got my three here. All right.
- 19:54Speaker 3: You can knock them out. I actually like some NFL
- 19:56Speaker 3: games this week. We also, Bone, have Walker.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Texting Walker male texting off the air about Fitty and says, okay,
- 20:06Speaker 2: so Fitty's going to, to help trick or treat tomorrow
- 20:08Speaker 2: and not watching his heels play the number one team
- 20:10Speaker 2: in the country because of his girlfriend. But Walker said,
- 20:14Speaker 2: at least he didn't skip the third round of PGA
- 20:16Speaker 2: championship to go to the zoo.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Cause that's what Walker got. Walker got ripped for that
- 20:20Speaker 3: by Fitty, right?
- 20:21Speaker 2: Everybody that Fitty ever ripped that was in a relationship
- 20:24Speaker 2: that did something other than watch sports is coming back,
- 20:27Speaker 2: looking for Fitty and Fitty during the break says, Yeah,
- 20:32Speaker 2: I'm pretty much.
- 20:32Speaker 3: A flaming hypocrite. Look, I'll own it.
- 20:38Speaker 5: But I'm happy.
- 20:39Speaker 3: That's all that counts, though.
- 20:40Speaker 5: And I don't know how long that feeling is going
- 20:41Speaker 5: to last, so I've got to enjoy it.
- 20:43Speaker 3: That's good for you. Good for you, man.
- 20:45Speaker 4: Picante says his segment's exclusively college. Are there parameters for this?
- 20:48Speaker 4: I don't think we ever put that. I mean, he's
- 20:50Speaker 4: getting beat anyway.
- 20:51Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. I mean, he can do college, but
- 20:54Speaker 3: you can do pros if you want. Yeah, I mean, whatever.
- 20:56Speaker 3: He's getting beat, so I've got games for both here.
- 20:58Speaker 2: I mean, if you have any, I don't know, if
- 21:00Speaker 2: you have any high school point spreads, go ahead and
- 21:02Speaker 2: play them. Any Monroe Forest Hills line? You can't say
- 21:04Speaker 2: your career's over, pal, no matter what. I'll pick your poison.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Let's go to Gelby. Let's bring in Gelby. He doesn't
- 21:09Speaker 2: want to listen to his shenanigans. I'm not even sure
- 21:11Speaker 2: he wants to talk to us because, or maybe he
- 21:13Speaker 2: just wants to make fun of our Panthers offensive line.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Zach Gelb, Compass Media, joins us here on the Mac
- 21:20Speaker 2: and Bone Show to help us cope with what's happened
- 21:23Speaker 2: the last two games. Gelby, what's happening? Man, what's going on?
- 21:28Speaker 6: I know what Fitty could do. So Fitty's got the
- 21:30Speaker 6: bosoms to dress up as Belichick. So he dresses up
- 21:33Speaker 6: as Belichick and he brings a little play calling sheet.
- 21:35Speaker 6: That's his phone to be able to watch the UNC
- 21:38Speaker 6: Miami game.
- 21:39Speaker 3: That's a hell of a play. How about the hell
- 21:40Speaker 3: of a play? He's got the bosoms. He's got the bosoms.
- 21:43Speaker 2: He's got Belichick. He's got Belichick bosoms. Can you get
- 21:47Speaker 2: Maddie to dress up like Jordan Hudson? That would be
- 21:50Speaker 2: a hell of a costume.
- 21:51Speaker 5: I think she's going as a carrot. What? I saw
- 21:57Speaker 5: the outfit last night. We'll just leave it at that.
- 22:00Speaker 3: You know what?
- 22:01Speaker 6: She's going as a carrot. That's basically baby food. Probably
- 22:04Speaker 6: the same food that Jordan Hudson.
- 22:05Speaker 3: There you go. There you go.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Galby, this Panthers season has just taken a turn, a
- 22:14Speaker 2: hideous turn. What are you, what are you thinking? I mean,
- 22:17Speaker 2: everything's so hard. The offensive line injuries, the cornerback injuries.
- 22:21Speaker 2: What do you think of this team?
- 22:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:23Speaker 6: The team's banged up. And once the interception happened last night,
- 22:26Speaker 6: it was like the air just got let out of
- 22:28Speaker 6: the balloon. Like I was agreeing with Herb street earlier
- 22:31Speaker 6: in the game. It's like, you look at Bryce young
- 22:33Speaker 6: and he has Moxie and he has toughness, but you
- 22:36Speaker 6: look at the defensive side of the ball. That's the
- 22:37Speaker 6: alarming part for me. Like, I feel like we talk
- 22:40Speaker 6: about this each and every week, the defense stinks. Like
- 22:43Speaker 6: they got issues right now. uh, golden and Watson. And
- 22:47Speaker 6: then my Watson, uh, coming out of the, uh, the
- 22:49Speaker 6: hospital back onto the, uh, you know, onto the sideline.
- 22:53Speaker 6: It was just, uh, it was the game that I,
- 22:55Speaker 6: it didn't go the way I expected it to. Cause
- 22:57Speaker 6: early on I go, okay, it's just going to be
- 22:59Speaker 6: a high octane offensive game and they're going to be
- 23:01Speaker 6: going back and forth. But by the end of it,
- 23:04Speaker 6: it was like, man, the Panthers forgot to play.
- 23:06Speaker 3: In the second half.
- 23:08Speaker 4: On the offensive side, obviously, there was a defensive problem
- 23:12Speaker 4: on Sunday against Tampa. Yesterday, the offensive line was terrible.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Do you put most of that on the offensive line,
- 23:20Speaker 4: or do you put some on Bryce? What's your assessment
- 23:23Speaker 4: of what you saw yesterday, offensive line versus Bryce's performance?
- 23:28Speaker 6: Yeah, I would put it more on, on the offensive line,
- 23:31Speaker 6: but it's like the, the weapons around Bryce and I
- 23:35Speaker 6: know Ted is coming off a rookie of the year. So,
- 23:37Speaker 6: you know, I'm not crushing him, but I just thought
- 23:40Speaker 6: there'd be more explosive plays for this offense in a
- 23:44Speaker 6: game like that last night. And, you know, early on
- 23:49Speaker 6: after they got in the end zone, it was just
- 23:52Speaker 6: what I expected them to look like was the complete
- 23:55Speaker 6: antithesis last night.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's been like that the last two weeks, man.
- 23:58Speaker 2: This team's averaging 16 points a game. They're averaging five
- 24:02Speaker 2: and a half sacks a game allowed.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Do you like when you watch.
- 24:07Speaker 6: That kind of remind me of the team comp I
- 24:10Speaker 6: would give them right now? is they're kind of looking
- 24:12Speaker 6: like the Philadelphia Eagles where both of these teams, you know,
- 24:15Speaker 6: they have the talent where the offense should be better.
- 24:18Speaker 6: But when you have offensive line injuries and you have
- 24:21Speaker 6: a unit not playing well, it really just takes away
- 24:25Speaker 6: from anything that the offense can do.
- 24:27Speaker 2: There's nothing you can't scheme around it. You can't, you
- 24:29Speaker 2: know what I mean? You can't get the ball downfield
- 24:31Speaker 2: because there's not enough time. Now, do you think is
- 24:35Speaker 2: bright Bryce losing money right now. Is that safe to like,
- 24:38Speaker 2: have you, are you changing your feeling about the Panthers
- 24:42Speaker 2: needing to resign Bryce?
- 24:43Speaker 3: It's hard to evaluate him in games like this.
- 24:47Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. Here's the thing. I think we all
- 24:51Speaker 6: know that price should not get $ 55 million a year,
- 24:55Speaker 6: but when you're a good quarterback, you sometimes get great money.
- 24:59Speaker 6: And I'll just ask this question. If the Panthers say
- 25:02Speaker 6: they're not going to pay Bryce young, like who's going
- 25:05Speaker 6: to come in and replace them. Like the guy has
- 25:07Speaker 6: been a good enough quarterback for you guys. The other
- 25:10Speaker 6: thing you got to just look at is the parameters
- 25:12Speaker 6: of the division. Like if he was thrown in an
- 25:15Speaker 6: actual division, we maybe would be talking about him differently,
- 25:20Speaker 6: but even last year, it's not as if they really
- 25:22Speaker 6: earned the right to go to the postseason. They backed
- 25:25Speaker 6: their way into winning the NFC South. So I look
- 25:28Speaker 6: at Bryce and I go, maybe there could be a
- 25:30Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield deal out for him. It's probably going to
- 25:33Speaker 6: be richer than what Baker got. I'm talking about when
- 25:35Speaker 6: he first did go to Tampa Bay, but who knows?
- 25:39Speaker 6: Eventually I would like to think that all this quarterback
- 25:42Speaker 6: money is going to even out and we're going to
- 25:43Speaker 6: get back to a point of sanity. But once the, the,
- 25:47Speaker 6: the cat is out of the bag and, and, you know,
- 25:49Speaker 6: Pandora's box is open. It's tough to get everyone back,
- 25:52Speaker 6: you know, into one place of, of, of a normal
- 25:55Speaker 6: common sense in the quarterback paying department.
- 25:57Speaker 4: We have a text question for you. Do you think
- 26:00Speaker 4: this could get bad enough where Canalis would get on
- 26:03Speaker 4: the hot seat?
- 26:07Speaker 6: Potentially. I like, I would like to think last year
- 26:12Speaker 6: gives him a year to get it right. If this
- 26:14Speaker 6: one does go South, especially how bad of a job
- 26:18Speaker 6: that was when things did go over, but Mr. Tepper
- 26:22Speaker 6: could only be quiet for so long. And I really
- 26:24Speaker 6: haven't ever since he threw that drink on that fan,
- 26:27Speaker 6: we haven't really heard much from David Tepper. And I
- 26:31Speaker 6: think that is just a, just a volcano waiting to erupt.
- 26:37Speaker 6: So I will not say that that is crazy, but
- 26:41Speaker 6: if I'm going to operate on how football teams should operate,
- 26:43Speaker 6: I would like to think Canales will be back next year.
- 26:46Speaker 6: But if they go lose six in a row, seven
- 26:49Speaker 6: in a row, then, then, then that's a different story.
- 26:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:53Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't fall apart like that, but my God,
- 26:56Speaker 2: with this offensive line, This group that is playing right now, geez,
- 27:00Speaker 2: it's hard to see the way out. We're talking with
- 27:01Speaker 2: Zach Gelb. I'll ask you this question, Gelby. Richard Sherman
- 27:05Speaker 2: was asked this question after the game. I guess in
- 27:07Speaker 2: the pregame, he was saying that the Panthers are the
- 27:10Speaker 2: best team in the South, which I would have still
- 27:12Speaker 2: been saying in the pregame myself yesterday. After the game,
- 27:16Speaker 2: he was kind of hemming and hawing about it. Like,
- 27:19Speaker 2: who do you think's the best team in the South
- 27:21Speaker 2: right now? Is that even an answerable question?
- 27:25Speaker 7: I would.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:25Speaker 6: It's like, who's the tallest dwarf. You know, that's pretty
- 27:28Speaker 6: much the way that, that we operate that one.
- 27:31Speaker 5: Right.
- 27:31Speaker 6: Like I, I would answer it this way. B John
- 27:35Speaker 6: Robinson is the best player. So in a division where
- 27:38Speaker 6: you don't need to be a good team to win
- 27:40Speaker 6: the division, Can B. John Robinson get the Falcons to
- 27:45Speaker 6: eight wins and maybe have a tiebreaker go their way? Yeah,
- 27:51Speaker 6: I would say so. I think them, the Panthers and
- 27:54Speaker 6: the Falcons are the two best teams in this division.
- 27:58Speaker 6: But I was bullish on the Saints going into this
- 28:01Speaker 6: year because of the quarterback. Maybe they get back into
- 28:03Speaker 6: the race like you guys know this. It doesn't take
- 28:06Speaker 6: much to get back into the race in this division. Definitely.
- 28:09Speaker 4: Yo, big trade yesterday. The Bears get Jeffrey Simmons from
- 28:13Speaker 4: the Titans. When you look at the Bears, big game
- 28:15Speaker 4: with Seattle on Monday night coming up, are you now
- 28:19Speaker 4: thinking the Bears are a legit Super Bowl contender if
- 28:22Speaker 4: they get a defense to go with that Ben Johnson offense?
- 28:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't like Ben Johnson. He comes off to
- 28:29Speaker 6: me as so insufferable. But I thought that before the
- 28:31Speaker 6: season started, they were a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Here's
- 28:34Speaker 6: the fun part about... not only the NFL, but also
- 28:37Speaker 6: college football. There's a lot of parody the last two,
- 28:40Speaker 6: three years. Who would have thought last year the Seahawks
- 28:42Speaker 6: and the Patriots would have been in the Super Bowl?
- 28:44Speaker 6: Who would have thought Indiana would have won the national championship?
- 28:48Speaker 6: Both of these sports, seven, eight weeks into the season
- 28:51Speaker 6: are very open. So I look at that deal and
- 28:54Speaker 6: I say, yeah, Tennessee initially won the trade because they
- 28:56Speaker 6: got two first round picks for a player. that they
- 28:59Speaker 6: wanted to get rid of, who was a great player,
- 29:02Speaker 6: but they're nowhere close to winning. So you go get
- 29:05Speaker 6: the most draft capital. But if you're Chicago, that 2027
- 29:08Speaker 6: pick is going to be later on in the first round.
- 29:12Speaker 6: And then as long as your quarterback stays healthy, you
- 29:14Speaker 6: would like to think in 2028, you're still going to
- 29:17Speaker 6: be a playoff team. So I respect that the Bears said, okay,
- 29:21Speaker 6: we're going to go swing big because there's a chance
- 29:24Speaker 6: that they could get to the Super Bowl this year.
- 29:26Speaker 6: Because you look at the NFC, I know the Niners
- 29:28Speaker 6: just suffered their first loss of the season, but they're
- 29:30Speaker 6: banged up with injuries. Seahawks, they made the big trade
- 29:34Speaker 6: this week for Quinn and Nelson. The NFC East is
- 29:36Speaker 6: a disaster. The NFC South is a disaster. So it's like, yeah.
- 29:40Speaker 6: to go to the Super Bowl this year should probably
- 29:42Speaker 6: be from the West or the NFC North.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be.
- 29:45Speaker 2: I think they're in a spot where it's probably worth
- 29:48Speaker 2: going for it the way the Bears are. I don't
- 29:51Speaker 2: have a problem with what they gave them.
- 29:52Speaker 6: That organization has been down and out for a while.
- 29:56Speaker 6: You can only hold on to what happened in the
- 29:58Speaker 6: 80s for so long. I know they had that Super
- 30:00Speaker 6: Bowl appearance where they lost to Peyton Manning in 2006.
- 30:05Speaker 6: But it's like you look at it right now. yeah,
- 30:09Speaker 6: with that coach and, and, and also with that quarterback,
- 30:13Speaker 6: it reminds me a lot of the Detroit lions from
- 30:15Speaker 6: a few years ago. And the lions almost got to
- 30:18Speaker 6: a super bowl. They probably should have when, when they
- 30:20Speaker 6: blew that game to the, to the 49ers in the
- 30:22Speaker 6: NFC championship game.
- 30:23Speaker 2: All right, Galby, you are the man. It's good to,
- 30:26Speaker 2: good to hear from you again on Friday. I feel
- 30:27Speaker 2: like you were nice today. I feel like you could
- 30:30Speaker 2: have obliterated the Carolina Panthers after their offense blinded all
- 30:35Speaker 2: of America.
- 30:36Speaker 3: With that crappy performance. I appreciate that from you, Gelby.
- 30:40Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm in the Halloween spirit, and I'm hoping when
- 30:42Speaker 6: Fiddy's going trick-or-treating that he gets me some Reese's Peanut
- 30:45Speaker 6: Butter Cups and some Kit Kat bars. That's what I'm
- 30:47Speaker 6: looking for.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. I think it's worth it. I
- 30:50Speaker 3: think what you did was worth it.
- 30:51Speaker 4: When we all have a moment of reflection this week, Gelby,
- 30:54Speaker 4: let's all sit back and think about Bill Belichick's bosom.
- 30:58Speaker 6: Just shake him, Fiddy. We'll get the candy.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Shake those money makers. All right, Gelby. There you go.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Zach Gelb, who compared Fitty's bosom to Belichick's bosom.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Well done. And he was kind of easy on the Panthers.
- 31:14Speaker 4: I don't want to think about Belichick's bosom, but I
- 31:16Speaker 4: kind of want to see what they look like, though.
- 31:18Speaker 4: I need to know what's going on there.
- 31:19Speaker 3: People are outraged. Well, I shouldn't say people. It's one person.
- 31:22Speaker 2: One person says, explain to me how this is normal behavior.
- 31:26Speaker 2: I don't care if he's missing the football game. Why
- 31:28Speaker 2: is a grown man and a grown woman going trick-or-treating?
- 31:32Speaker 2: They think that the couple's going by themselves.
- 31:35Speaker 3: They all think she's a fake girlfriend. There are kids there,
- 31:40Speaker 3: all right?
- 31:41Speaker 2: I don't exactly know who the kids are, Boney, but
- 31:43Speaker 2: I think like her relatives maybe, I think.
- 31:46Speaker 3: I mean, I hope they're just not random kids that
- 31:48Speaker 3: they're going to hang out with.
- 31:51Speaker 2: But I think somebody out there, one of the texters
- 31:53Speaker 2: thought it was just two adults going dry. So I
- 31:55Speaker 2: want to make sure I tell you about that. All right, Bone,
- 32:00Speaker 2: are you nervous? Are you nervous?
- 32:02Speaker 3: You're shot at Picante here?
- 32:04Speaker 2: Nope.
- 32:06Speaker 3: We are, I have got permission to go NFL here
- 32:09Speaker 3: as well. Okay, good. I didn't know that we, I
- 32:11Speaker 3: thought it was like the games over the weekend. I
- 32:13Speaker 3: didn't realize.
- 32:14Speaker 2: I think it just so happens that he always picks college.
- 32:16Speaker 2: I happen to always pick college. Because I do know
- 32:18Speaker 2: Picante very well now. He gets a little scared.
- 32:20Speaker 7: Of the NFL.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he knows it. A little scared
- 32:23Speaker 3: of the NFL. All right, let's do it.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Picante is willing to put his pick segment on the
- 32:27Speaker 2: line again this time against T-Bone after dispatching a me
- 32:30Speaker 2: last week.
- 32:31Speaker 3: Picante, how you feeling, man?
- 32:33Speaker 7: I'm feeling great, baby. Week nine from week zero is unbelievable, man.
- 32:38Speaker 7: This is a dream come true.
- 32:40Speaker 2: I want you to know, Picante, Willie P is a
- 32:43Speaker 2: believer in you. Willie P texted us yesterday and said
- 32:47Speaker 2: he has a feeling after you get done with Bone
- 32:50Speaker 2: that you will be eating the big piece of chicken
- 32:53Speaker 2: at the household.
- 32:53Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
- 32:54Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's coming back. It's coming back. We didn't
- 32:56Speaker 7: even do grotties right now. We need to get some chicken,
- 32:59Speaker 7: but yeah, it's coming back.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Let's go with your, you go first. Give us your
- 33:03Speaker 3: first pick.
- 33:04Speaker 6: Okay.
- 33:05Speaker 7: My first pick, I'll pick shadow 49ers plus nine and
- 33:09Speaker 7: a half. Yeah. Connor Harris back. He put already a
- 33:15Speaker 7: leadership there. from the injury and he played great against Tampa.
- 33:20Speaker 7: So that offense is coming back a little bit by little.
- 33:23Speaker 4: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 33:24Speaker 3: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 33:26Speaker 4: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 33:28Speaker 3: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 33:31Speaker 4: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.

- 33:38Speaker 3: <HAL> I've been watching the games. What do you mean, homer?
- 33:40Speaker 7: That guy is back. Their quarterback is back.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he is. This is your fault, man.
- 33:44Speaker 3: You couldn't beat Picante last week. He played all right
- 33:46Speaker 3: against North Texas, but he did have a couple of picks.
- 33:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I present my one college pick, Ole Miss, minus
- 33:54Speaker 4: 13.5 at home against Auburn. Auburn had their moment a
- 33:57Speaker 4: couple weeks ago. They bounced back with that match by
- 33:59Speaker 4: getting destroyed by LSU. Ole Miss has playoff hopes. They've
- 34:03Speaker 4: got a lot to prove. Ole Miss at home. Auburn
- 34:06Speaker 4: is more of the... mediocre team, I believe, than the
- 34:09Speaker 4: team we saw against Georgia. Ole Miss covers the 13.5
- 34:12Speaker 4: at home against Auburn.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Okay, I like that one. I like that one. What
- 34:16Speaker 3: is your second pick, Picante?
- 34:18Speaker 7: Okay, okay. That's a good pick, actually. What do you mean, actually? Yeah,
- 34:24Speaker 7: they don't have good defense, but it's okay. Western Michigan
- 34:27Speaker 7: is my second pick. Minus 13.5 against a deflated Bowling Green.
- 34:32Speaker 7: 130 in offense and 110 in defense. So, Western Michigan
- 34:38Speaker 7: is going to kick them out of the area. So,
- 34:41Speaker 7: Western Michigan minus 13.5 is my second pick.
- 34:44Speaker 3: All right.
- 34:45Speaker 4: A little match-in for Pecante. He's taking games that might
- 34:47Speaker 4: not even be on TV here. What is your second pick?
- 34:50Speaker 4: We're going NFL, Mac. I do think the Vikings are
- 34:54Speaker 4: a great story. They're undefeated. Everybody's going to get a
- 34:57Speaker 4: loss at some point. They're playing at the Lions, Lions
- 35:01Speaker 4: minus three. I feel like this is the spot where
- 35:04Speaker 4: the Vikings get their first loss. Detroit's getting hotter. They
- 35:07Speaker 4: know each other well. You blitz golf like Brian Flores
- 35:10Speaker 4: likes to do. He's good against the blitz. I think
- 35:13Speaker 4: the Lions, in a very entertaining game, find a way
- 35:15Speaker 4: to beat their rival, the Vikings. Give me the Lions
- 35:18Speaker 4: minus three, Picante, against Minnesota.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
- 35:22Speaker 7: I actually love that pick because I have it on
- 35:23Speaker 7: my parlay. So, yeah, I'll give it to you.
- 35:26Speaker 3: I didn't know you bet the NFL, Picante. I thought
- 35:28Speaker 3: you were college only. He bets everything.
- 35:30Speaker 7: No, I bet everything. I bet everything. I put it
- 35:32Speaker 7: on my page, and I'm 6-0 right now on my
- 35:35Speaker 7: page this week.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Do you bet Korean baseball?
- 35:39Speaker 7: Yeah, sometimes. That's another problem with it.
- 35:43Speaker 3: People are accusing Picante.
- 35:46Speaker 7: Of burping up.
- 35:48Speaker 3: People think you burped on the air, Picante. Did you burp?
- 35:52Speaker 7: No, I'm just drinking... I'm drinking my drink. I didn't burp.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Are you throwing down alcohol again this morning?
- 35:59Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, man. I have to.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Give us your last pick.
- 36:03Speaker 7: It's Halloween weekend. It's the last Saturday of the month.
- 36:06Speaker 7: All right, my third pick, my best pick, is minus
- 36:09Speaker 7: six and a half floating the state to do a massacre.
- 36:14Speaker 7: On Clemson, on Halloween, Ashton Daniels tends to play awesome.
- 36:19Speaker 7: When he's playing, like, a primetime game, he throws almost
- 36:22Speaker 7: 300 yards against Miami or almost 400 against Alabama.
- 36:26Speaker 3: He did.
- 36:26Speaker 7: I believe in Florida State that the Seminole is going
- 36:29Speaker 7: to He's going to put RIP on Dabo.
- 36:35Speaker 4: You went Charlotte, Western Michigan, Florida State. I've got the Lions,
- 36:39Speaker 4: Ole Miss, and my last one, NFL again. 4 o'clock
- 36:43Speaker 4: window on Sunday. Patriots at Dolphins. Patriots favored by a touchdown.
- 36:48Speaker 4: They will cover that. Miami had their win last week
- 36:50Speaker 4: against the Jets. This feels like a 31-10 type game.
- 36:55Speaker 4: Give me the pats to cover the touchdown against the Dolphins.
- 36:58Speaker 3: I like that one. So I've got Lions, Patriots, and
- 37:00Speaker 3: Ole Miss.
- 37:02Speaker 7: The problem with you, Bowen, you're going too careful. It's
- 37:05Speaker 7: just too– New England, of course anybody knows that they
- 37:09Speaker 7: might have to win. I don't think they're going to win.
- 37:11Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to win.
- 37:13Speaker 4: So I'm picking games that I might win.
- 37:16Speaker 3: What kind of strategy is that, Bo? You pick the
- 37:18Speaker 3: games you think you're going to win. Bo's good, but
- 37:21Speaker 3: he's picking games he might win money with.
- 37:24Speaker 7: Guys, I'm going to have a big announcement. On Monday
- 37:27Speaker 7: is the kickoff of college basketball. I'm literally killing it
- 37:32Speaker 7: on the first day. Take to cover. Take the covers.
- 37:36Speaker 7: I'm going to put it on my page on Sunday
- 37:39Speaker 7: when the line come up.
- 37:40Speaker 3: How did you say you're killing it? They haven't played
- 37:42Speaker 3: the games yet.
- 37:43Speaker 7: It's coming up. It's coming up. You're going to kill it.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Okay, you're going to kill it on Monday. All right.
- 37:48Speaker 7: On Monday. For college basketball, I'm going to put it there.
- 37:52Speaker 7: I'm going to the casino. You have to play to cover.
- 37:55Speaker 7: Just play. Just give me the points. And that always
- 38:00Speaker 7: happened on the first game and the second game.
- 38:02Speaker 3: Okay.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Find him at the Picante Picks with Picante McKay on Instagram.
- 38:09Speaker 3: All right, Picante, good luck, man. Your gig's online, baby.
- 38:12Speaker 3: I love you, guys.
- 38:12Speaker 7: I love you.
- 38:13Speaker 4: Bye.
- 38:13Speaker 3: All right, there you go. Love you too, Picante. If
- 38:15Speaker 3: Bone beats Picante, Picante's segment is over. The dream has ended.
- 38:18Speaker 3: He's done. We come back to wrap up Sports Radio 92.7.
- 38:21Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
- 38:44Speaker 1: There is always the possibility.
- 38:50Speaker 5: Pat Murphy says he gets a message from Euchre every
- 38:54Speaker 5: once in a while.
- 38:56Speaker 3: I got one the other day.
- 38:58Speaker 5: Yeah, he called up, and I said, how are things
- 39:01Speaker 5: going up there?
- 39:01Speaker 6: He said, great.
- 39:02Speaker 3: He says, I got some good news and bad news.
- 39:06Speaker 3: I said, what's the good news?
- 39:08Speaker 2: He said, well, we play ball every day up here.
- 39:10Speaker 4: I said, what's the bad news?
- 39:13Speaker 3: He said, you're pitching tomorrow. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh,
- 39:21Speaker 3: my God. That is George Mustis.
- 39:24Speaker 2: He is a friend of Bob Uecker, saying that he,
- 39:27Speaker 2: like Pat Murphy, the World Series winning manager. is getting
- 39:30Speaker 2: messages from the grave for the great Bob Uecker. Based
- 39:36Speaker 2: off how good that was, that he might be getting
- 39:38Speaker 2: messages from Bob Uecker.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds like something absolutely Uecker would say. Oh, man.
- 39:44Speaker 2: It's a shame he isn't here to see this, Bone,
- 39:46Speaker 2: after all the years of Brewers baseball. Some of it
- 39:50Speaker 2: all right, some of it bad. It's really the ultimate
- 39:53Speaker 2: Bob Ueger thing, though, isn't it? That he passes away,
- 39:57Speaker 2: the Brewers win when he's gone.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Yeah. It was meant to be.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Oh, man. Multiple Brewers last night in Lambeau Field enjoying themselves.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Al Michaels sure liked those guys coming out there. Oh,
- 40:07Speaker 3: this is great. This is great. At least someone enjoyed
- 40:11Speaker 3: themselves there.
- 40:12Speaker 4: We're under Waxing Gibson, and we got the Brewers out here.
- 40:17Speaker 2: The fact that he did that routine about the waning
- 40:20Speaker 2: gibbous the day after Willie P, I was dying.
- 40:23Speaker 3: That was unbelievable.
- 40:24Speaker 4: Two of the greatest broadcasters of all time with the
- 40:26Speaker 4: same mindset.
- 40:27Speaker 3: Both moon men.
- 40:29Speaker 6: Yep.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Both big moon men. All right, let's get to the-
- 40:47Speaker 2: And we said, oh, we got to get all over
- 40:48Speaker 2: that bet. So thank you, Amazing Blue.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Bone.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I love it when Bone wins bets and I get
- 40:54Speaker 2: to eat food because of it.
- 40:56Speaker 3: That's a beautiful thing, man. Beautiful thing.
- 41:00Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the text, 7045709610. If you
- 41:05Speaker 2: want to send in a text here, text line brought
- 41:08Speaker 2: to you by Affordable Siding and Windows, your hometown.
- 41:11Speaker 3: Improvement experts. Shout out to Harris Cherokee Casino and Resort,
- 41:17Speaker 3: an awesome destination spot in Cherokee.
- 41:21Speaker 2: They are our studio sponsor. We need to mention 49ers
- 41:25Speaker 2: tonight at home, 7 o'clock against Tulane. Good luck to
- 41:28Speaker 2: the Niners and the Hornets back in action tonight. Khan
- 41:32Speaker 2: not playing, Grant not playing, Kobe not playing, but Khan
- 41:35Speaker 2: practiced with the Swarm last night. And when LaMelo did it,
- 41:39Speaker 2: and again, I forget who said this on Twitter, so
- 41:42Speaker 2: I can't give him proper credit, but when LaMelo did
- 41:45Speaker 2: this last year, three days after practice with the Swarm,
- 41:47Speaker 2: he played.
- 41:48Speaker 3: So based on that, Monday? Maybe Saturday, but Monday? Tomorrow?
- 41:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:58Speaker 4: Tomorrow, if possible. Because I think tonight's the road game.
- 42:01Speaker 4: But if they're at home, they do that quick Greensboro
- 42:04Speaker 4: trip back. I think tomorrow might be it. Jason says,
- 42:07Speaker 4: sounds like Bone has a problem with Picante. It's actually
- 42:10Speaker 4: the opposite. He's become a friend. I text with Picante
- 42:13Speaker 4: all the time. All weekend long, we text about games.
- 42:16Speaker 4: I actually love Picante.
- 42:17Speaker 3: But Picante's funny as hell. No, I like Picante.
- 42:19Speaker 4: I have no— he used to bother me at first, and
- 42:21Speaker 4: I got to know him, and I realized, oh, this
- 42:23Speaker 4: guy's a character.
- 42:23Speaker 3: He's a trip.
- 42:24Speaker 2: People love the fact that you said, did you just burp?
- 42:27Speaker 2: He says, no, it's just my fizzy drink I'm drinking.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Another texter says, why would somebody drink alcohol and go
- 42:34Speaker 2: on the radio on a Friday morning?
- 42:36Speaker 4: Selenia did it Monday through Friday.
- 42:38Speaker 2: So you said it's because— He gets nervous on the radio. Yeah,
- 42:43Speaker 2: so he's got a liquid courage.
- 42:46Speaker 4: By the way, Mac, during the middle of the football
- 42:47Speaker 4: game last night, I got an alert here. I don't
- 42:51Speaker 4: use the app, but I still get alerts on it.
- 42:54Speaker 4: It said Jim Salania 7 has followed you on TikTok.
- 42:59Speaker 3: He's on the talk?
- 43:00Speaker 7: I guess.
- 43:00Speaker 3: Holy crap. My God.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Salesman says the Panthers played like a waning Uranus last night.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Another text comes in. I'm sorry. Al Michaels is a
- 43:11Speaker 3: big Beaver Moon guy. Oh, my God.
- 43:14Speaker 2: And then I never knew Beaver Moon was a thing.
- 43:17Speaker 2: I knew the text line wouldn't handle it in a
- 43:19Speaker 2: mature way. fashion, nor would we. But I learned that
- 43:25Speaker 2: last night from Al Michaels. This dude says, is it
- 43:28Speaker 2: true Schroeder's not playing tonight?
- 43:29Speaker 3: Questionable.
- 43:30Speaker 2: He's got a foot injury. That is a huge problem.
- 43:33Speaker 2: If your only point guards, Bone, are Christian Anderson and Sion.
- 43:38Speaker 4: Against Trey Young? God, that ain't good, man. Maybe you
- 43:41Speaker 4: just let Trey Young shoot, and maybe he's got an
- 43:43Speaker 4: off night, and away you go. How are we going
- 43:46Speaker 4: to get in? We're also playing Debonza tonight for the
- 43:48Speaker 4: first time. Yeah, he's back for them, unfortunately, tonight in Washington.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Bone and KB got the pregame.
- 43:53Speaker 3: Me and Willie tonight. Oh, you and Willie tonight. KB's
- 43:56Speaker 3: on high school football assignment tonight. Oh, that's right. Forest
- 43:58Speaker 3: Hills and Monroe is the high school game of the week.
- 44:00Speaker 3: So it'll be me and Willie Mack under a waning
- 44:02Speaker 3: gibbous this evening.
- 44:03Speaker 5: Sure.
- 44:05Speaker 2: You got to get some moon talk going tonight with P-Man.
- 44:08Speaker 2: JP in Mooresville says Beaver Moon sounds like an IPA.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Another texter, Beaver Moon sounds like a late night show
- 44:14Speaker 2: after midnight on HBO.
- 44:18Speaker 3: Beaver moon after dark, put the kids away.
- 44:21Speaker 4: Sounds like an old seventies nightclub. He probably spent time
- 44:25Speaker 4: at the beaver moon.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Yes. I think he's told stories about it before actually. Anyway,
- 44:33Speaker 2: let's see here. Texter says, don't hate on Korean baseball.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Mac asked if he bets on table tennis, like I do.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Y'all are crazy, man. But if I was any good
- 44:43Speaker 2: at bets and it could actually make money, I probably
- 44:45Speaker 2: would too.
- 44:46Speaker 3: Let's see.
- 44:47Speaker 2: Picante making bets on WFNZ and talking about I'm living
- 44:50Speaker 2: the dream.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Don't knock it, baby. This is a big moment for anybody.
- 44:55Speaker 3: You get a regular spot on Mac and Bone.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Ben Goliver of NBA Writer has a take on Nas
- 45:00Speaker 4: Reed's benching. He thought it was a message to Nas
- 45:04Speaker 4: Reed that your role here is much bigger than Minnesota.
- 45:07Speaker 4: You're a leader. You're one of the best players on
- 45:09Speaker 4: the team. You're no longer a background guy off the bench.
- 45:12Speaker 4: You're one of our main guys. We need you acting
- 45:15Speaker 4: right to be the best we can be. Your role
- 45:17Speaker 4: is changing now here in Charlotte. Interesting take there, isn't it?
- 45:21Speaker 3: It has.
- 45:21Speaker 2: If you missed it yesterday, KB and Rod Boone were
- 45:23Speaker 2: basically reporting the same thing. Their sources said that he
- 45:27Speaker 2: said something. I'm guessing it was the clip that went
- 45:30Speaker 2: viral when Nas turned it over on Drive to the Basket,
- 45:35Speaker 2: kind of loafed back, got yelled at by Charles Lee during.
- 45:38Speaker 3: The time going to the bench. He had two words
- 45:39Speaker 3: for him and one beaver moon.
- 45:41Speaker 2: It was something that Nas Reed said, apparently, to Charles Lee.
- 45:46Speaker 2: And he basically said, I got to bench you for this.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Went to Jeff Peterson, got approval to bench him. So
- 45:51Speaker 2: we'll see. I feel like Bone, Nas Reed is a
- 45:55Speaker 2: veteran that can handle this. I don't feel like this
- 45:57Speaker 2: is anything that's going to cause further problems.
- 45:59Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 46:00Speaker 2: We'll see start tonight. I think they'll benefit from this
- 46:02Speaker 2: in the long run. That it happened now would not say.
- 46:04Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You sacrifice one out of 82
