0:14
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two to seven wf fancy.
0:16
Speaker 2: Let's bring it on home, baby, Let's do a strong
0:18
Speaker 2: final hour. Put those four fingers in the air. Let's
0:22
Speaker 2: do it on the fourth hour of the day. We
0:24
Speaker 2: got to do it without the Bone.
0:25
Speaker 3: Man.
0:26
Speaker 1: He's in Nashville.
0:27
Speaker 2: It's me, It's Fitty, and hopefully you are enjoying things
0:30
Speaker 2: today as we may. We're talking college football where we
0:34
Speaker 2: talked some Panthers today too, I mean Panthers report on Wednesday.
0:37
Speaker 2: Acc kickoff wraps up today. It's time, man, it's pig
0:41
Speaker 2: skin time. It is football and fun, Fitty. That is
0:45
Speaker 2: the mode we are in until further notice, sir. It's football, fun, sir,
0:50
Speaker 2: Football and fun until your heels start playing and then
0:53
Speaker 2: the fun stops.
0:54
Speaker 1: Fitty. Just kidding, man, just kidding.
0:57
Speaker 2: I'm pulling for old Hoodie there by the way, I'm
0:59
Speaker 2: also for Lucas Herbert a man. I had never heard
1:02
Speaker 2: of Bone or Fitty before the show started. He is
1:05
Speaker 2: nine under. He did par the seventeenth hole at Royal Birkdale.
1:10
Speaker 2: He's nine under for the day. Now he's in the
1:12
Speaker 2: rough again on eighteen. The course record is an eight
1:15
Speaker 2: under sixty two. He could hold the course record outright.
1:19
Speaker 2: He was eight under par through twelve holes. I couldn't
1:23
Speaker 2: do that on a video game. That is absurd, man.
1:25
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll let you know if he pulls it
1:27
Speaker 2: off and gets the course record. But right now, though,
1:30
Speaker 2: we got to talk some college football, right that's the big,
1:33
Speaker 2: big theme. It's really been a football Friday. ACC Kickoff
1:37
Speaker 2: wraps up today here in Charlotte. Yesterday it was Dabo Day,
1:40
Speaker 2: all right, Dabo, it was his day, and of course
1:44
Speaker 2: he has people talking about what he said. Let's talk
1:47
Speaker 2: about what Dabo's been saying this offseason and what the
1:50
Speaker 2: season looks like with a guy who covers them day
1:53
Speaker 2: in and day out. Chapel Fowler covers them for the
1:55
Speaker 2: state newspaper, and he's nice enough to join us here
1:58
Speaker 2: during ACC Kickoff on the macat Bone Show. Chapel, How
2:01
Speaker 2: you doing, man, what's going on?
2:04
Speaker 3: What's up?
2:04
Speaker 2: Mac?
2:05
Speaker 3: I'm good, I'm here, I got my coffee. I'm ready
2:07
Speaker 3: for day three out of three of ACC Kickoff and
2:09
Speaker 3: a nice but somewhat frigid hotel in uptown Charlotte, and
2:14
Speaker 3: I'm ready to roll. Excited to talk Clemson, Dabo and
2:16
Speaker 3: whatever else with you guys.
2:17
Speaker 1: Let's do it, baby, Let's do it. Well.
2:19
Speaker 2: We've we've been playing some audio today of Dabo and
2:22
Speaker 2: the one thing, the first thing I want to say
2:24
Speaker 2: about Dabbo all off season, and he's been out there
2:26
Speaker 2: like he hasn't hit right. He has been out and
2:28
Speaker 2: about whether it's McElroy, whether it's with Josh Paid or others.
2:32
Speaker 2: And he said some of the same stuff yesterday. He's
2:34
Speaker 2: been very accountable. Last year's on me and it's unacceptable.
2:38
Speaker 2: He also does the thing to Chapel where it seems
2:42
Speaker 2: like he's reading off his resume and wants to make
2:43
Speaker 2: sure everybody remembers what he did. What do you think
2:47
Speaker 2: kind of about how visible he's done. He's done a
2:49
Speaker 2: lot of national media and he's been open this offseason.
2:53
Speaker 2: What do you think about the way he's approached and
2:54
Speaker 2: what he's been saying.
2:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because I totally agree.
3:00
Speaker 3: And it's it's interesting to hear that, even you know,
3:02
Speaker 3: for someone like you who's not following to us the
3:04
Speaker 3: day to day, you notice, because I mean, gosh, I
3:06
Speaker 3: noticed He'll usually do a few off season interviews every year,
3:10
Speaker 3: but I swear it's been posted or ten or twelve
3:13
Speaker 3: this year, Like you mentioned, Josh Pate was trying to
3:15
Speaker 3: get him on a show forever that finally happened. He
3:17
Speaker 3: was on with Adam Brennaman the Macrory Podcast. He's been everywhere,
3:21
Speaker 3: and I think that's reflective of kind of a renewed
3:24
Speaker 3: hunger and grit. And you know, Clemson would tell you that, hey,
3:27
Speaker 3: around this time of year, every year, we wipe the
3:30
Speaker 3: slate clean. We're locked in on the new season, you know.
3:33
Speaker 3: But a seven and six record, four and four ACC
3:35
Speaker 3: record kind of has a way of lighting a fire
3:37
Speaker 3: under a team, under a coach, under a staff that
3:40
Speaker 3: you know, making a playoff really can't. So I think
3:43
Speaker 3: there's a definite sense of urgency from everybody in that building, Dabbo,
3:46
Speaker 3: including and I think kind of the extended media to
3:48
Speaker 3: war of the off season, which is usually a time
3:50
Speaker 3: that he you know, retreats a little bit, which is
3:52
Speaker 3: totally fair. Get your vacation time in, relax, do your media.
3:56
Speaker 3: Around this time of year when ACC pickoff starts, he
3:58
Speaker 3: has been front and center owning stuff, talking about what
4:01
Speaker 3: went wrong, but also, like you said, kind of playing
4:03
Speaker 3: the greatest hits and reminding people, hey, there's a track
4:05
Speaker 3: record here that one bad year doesn't totally erase.
4:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, but ultimately they've got to do it on the field, right,
4:12
Speaker 2: Like I appreciate how open he's been his passion, but
4:17
Speaker 2: they've got to do it on the field. This team
4:19
Speaker 2: feels to me, I expect them to be better but
4:23
Speaker 2: less talented.
4:24
Speaker 1: Is that?
4:25
Speaker 2: Do you view it that way? What do you think?
4:28
Speaker 3: I kind of like that framing, and I think I'm
4:31
Speaker 3: leaning toward that as well. I don't know that the
4:34
Speaker 3: infusion of transfers, and you know, there's guys on this
4:37
Speaker 3: roster now that have grinded it out at G five
4:39
Speaker 3: schools that are you know, they're about at Old Dominion
4:41
Speaker 3: and Southern Myths and all these schools that are you know,
4:44
Speaker 3: giving them millions in nil and that may be what
4:47
Speaker 3: pumps they needed in a lot of ways. You know,
4:49
Speaker 3: their competitive death last year was just not good enough.
4:52
Speaker 1: They did not have.
4:53
Speaker 3: Enough death at so many positions, especially in the secondary,
4:56
Speaker 3: And to me, really that's like a miss on the
4:57
Speaker 3: evaluation and recruiting side of things. That's you know, you
5:00
Speaker 3: can kind of blame a player for busting in the secondary,
5:04
Speaker 3: but if so many players are doing it. What does
5:06
Speaker 3: that say about the people putting together that roster in
5:08
Speaker 3: the first place. So I think there's a lot more
5:10
Speaker 3: hunger at a lot more positions. A lot of returning
5:12
Speaker 3: guys are now seeing a little bit more heat because hey,
5:15
Speaker 3: you know, here's a transfer coming in that'split a few
5:17
Speaker 3: years somewhere else, that has had production and he's trying
5:19
Speaker 3: to take my spot again, a little different than when
5:21
Speaker 3: a true freshman comes in. I think all this is
5:23
Speaker 3: stuff Clinson should have been doing a few years ago.
5:26
Speaker 3: But I think you're seeing that now at a lot
5:27
Speaker 3: of positions for where there's a renewed again, just competition, urgency.
5:31
Speaker 3: All that stuff is across the board. That's the theme.
5:34
Speaker 3: But again, you have to go out and do it.
5:35
Speaker 3: So that's the big question.
5:36
Speaker 1: The Chad Morris thing obviously is interesting, right.
5:39
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just a blast from the past,
5:40
Speaker 2: and Chad Morris hasn't exactly been uber successful either as
5:44
Speaker 2: a head coach or you know, anything else since he
5:48
Speaker 2: was with Clemson. But my god, it was beautiful when
5:50
Speaker 2: they were together before. Do you think they can can
5:54
Speaker 2: they create that magic again or are you skeptical?
5:57
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Chad Morris.
5:59
Speaker 3: Higher, I'd say skeptical, but I think that's a good
6:03
Speaker 3: thing because it shows that you know, there's risk involved.
6:06
Speaker 3: I think about three years ago when Dabo hired Garrett Riley,
6:09
Speaker 3: and that was a lamb dunk high across the board, right.
6:13
Speaker 3: Everybody was raving about that, and we saw how that
6:16
Speaker 3: experiment played out. It was inconsistent. It was at times flashy,
6:20
Speaker 3: at times stuck in the mud three and out every drive.
6:24
Speaker 3: It just wasn't consistently good enough for Clemson. So I
6:27
Speaker 3: can understand the logic of it. Let's go back to
6:29
Speaker 3: something that works in the past with Chad Morris. But
6:32
Speaker 3: at the same time, you know that first year with
6:34
Speaker 3: thumpson and eleven he had taj Voydedge as quarterback. You know,
6:38
Speaker 3: he does not have a Taje Boydant quarterback. This time around.
6:40
Speaker 3: He has either Christopher Vezina or Tate Reynolds and no
6:43
Speaker 3: transfer quarterback to work with, which was Daba's decision to
6:46
Speaker 3: not take one. So maybe he'll be handicapped a little
6:50
Speaker 3: bit by the quarterback play. But at the same time,
6:52
Speaker 3: they have some really good receivers, a decent running back
6:54
Speaker 3: in tight end rooms. So there are weapons around, but
6:57
Speaker 3: I think it's going to come down to can Chad
6:58
Speaker 3: Morris create some sort of of offensive setup where these
7:01
Speaker 3: quarterbacks don't have to be like a Heisman winner every
7:03
Speaker 3: week and they just need to kind of play point guard,
7:06
Speaker 3: toss the ball around, make a few big plays, but
7:08
Speaker 3: kind of let those skill guys go to work. So
7:10
Speaker 3: I can see where Dabo was coming from. But as everything,
7:13
Speaker 3: we keep coming back to this, let me let me
7:15
Speaker 3: see it against LSU before I declare it a success.
7:19
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's that is trying to be the test
7:21
Speaker 2: right away, and the test for that quarterback going to
7:24
Speaker 2: Death Valley at LSU is going to be huge. What
7:27
Speaker 2: do you think of the quarterback position? It's interesting I
7:30
Speaker 2: hear we hear from some Clemson fans on our text
7:32
Speaker 2: line that like Vezina number, you know, he's pretty good
7:36
Speaker 2: in that one starred he made last year. But there
7:39
Speaker 2: are some Clemson fans are saying, man, Tate Reynolds is
7:41
Speaker 2: a real deal. I think he'll have he'll have the
7:43
Speaker 2: job at some point. How do you view that quarterback
7:46
Speaker 2: combo and how do you think it'll play out.
7:49
Speaker 3: I think whatever happens in that position is going to
7:52
Speaker 3: define this season for better works. How the quarterback room
7:56
Speaker 3: plays out will determine if some sudden finishes with the
7:59
Speaker 3: same number of wins this last year, or makes the
8:02
Speaker 3: significant jump up, or some chaotic happens that they missed
8:04
Speaker 3: the bowl game. It all depends on Zina Reynolds. And
8:08
Speaker 3: again the decision to not take a transfer, which I
8:10
Speaker 3: think is going to live so large. I mean, imagine
8:12
Speaker 3: the disforce. I mean, we're already talking about the transfer
8:14
Speaker 3: quarterback situation right now. Dabo admitted that, you know, we're
8:17
Speaker 3: gonna get right there with the Coles if this goes wrong.
8:19
Speaker 3: Imagine what this is going to be in like October
8:21
Speaker 3: if they're you know, one in three or you know,
8:24
Speaker 3: two and four. They just lost at home to Miami,
8:26
Speaker 3: and neither these quarterbacks are really doing anything. So I
8:30
Speaker 3: understand his decision to kind of roll with who he has.
8:33
Speaker 3: Zena again has been in the program for a long time.
8:35
Speaker 3: He's been super loyal. As you mentioned, he was pretty
8:38
Speaker 3: productive against SMU with some caveats, you know, within a
8:42
Speaker 3: home loss by eleven points. In one of his touchdowns
8:44
Speaker 3: was like a garbage time fourth and twenty one. Ail
8:47
Speaker 3: Mary of sorts and you know Reynolds is another guy
8:50
Speaker 3: they're confident in. I just think I personally would have
8:53
Speaker 3: gotten to transfer. But at the same time, you only
8:55
Speaker 3: have a certain amount of nil rep share of money
8:56
Speaker 3: if they had gotten a transfer quarterback, I don't know
8:58
Speaker 3: if these other defenders that really needed are coming along
9:01
Speaker 3: with them. So it's all a finances game now. But
9:04
Speaker 3: Debo's loyalty has kind of been one of his defined characteristics,
9:09
Speaker 3: whether that's staff, players, quarterback, and he's definitely sticking to
9:13
Speaker 3: that and holding onto Vizena and propping him up as
9:15
Speaker 3: the likely starter.
9:17
Speaker 2: All right, last thing I want to ask you, what
9:19
Speaker 2: do you expect out of this team? It was interesting
9:22
Speaker 2: hearing Clemson fans weigh in on that earlier today. Some
9:26
Speaker 2: are like, hey, we got to be in the ACC
9:28
Speaker 2: title game, that's the standard here. Others were like, I
9:31
Speaker 2: think it's an eight or nine win season, and some
9:33
Speaker 2: Clemson fans are saying that would be a good season.
9:35
Speaker 2: So that's some have dropped the standard. What are your expectations?
9:40
Speaker 2: What should fans want out of this year's team.
9:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really interesting question, and again just speaks
9:47
Speaker 3: to a bit of the lowering of the standard that
9:50
Speaker 3: debo created, which is a credit to him. You know,
9:52
Speaker 3: nobody at something has elevated them like he has. But
9:55
Speaker 3: you know, in my head, what I would consider to
9:59
Speaker 3: be a good season for said I think if they
10:00
Speaker 3: could win nine games, I would be impressed. Double digit
10:03
Speaker 3: wins I think with this roster would be a pretty
10:06
Speaker 3: resounding success. I do think they're a bold team. There's
10:09
Speaker 3: no question there, like, there's plenty of talent on the roster,
10:11
Speaker 3: and they did, you know, lose a number of one
10:14
Speaker 3: possession games last year that maybe could slip. But the
10:16
Speaker 3: quarterback situation is such a big question. I think obviously
10:19
Speaker 3: they'll be in a bowl game. I think they could
10:21
Speaker 3: tend for like eight wins or so. I think anything
10:23
Speaker 3: above that will be a pleasant surprise. I don't really
10:26
Speaker 3: see them being a legit player in the ACC title
10:29
Speaker 3: race that you never know, So that would be I
10:32
Speaker 3: think a step in the right direction. You know, you
10:33
Speaker 3: have that year, if you're winning eight, nine, ten games,
10:36
Speaker 3: you probably have a decent idea for a quarterback situation
10:39
Speaker 3: going forward, whether that's one more year of a Zena
10:41
Speaker 3: or rental just taken over at that point and you
10:43
Speaker 3: kind of gear up for twenty seven but I think
10:45
Speaker 3: this is not a rebuilding year but kind of a
10:47
Speaker 3: resetting year. And it's okay for programs to have those
10:50
Speaker 3: sort of years, but it is a little bit of
10:51
Speaker 3: a weird situation for that to be happening at Clemson
10:54
Speaker 3: because you just think about Clemson of old, Clemson of
10:56
Speaker 3: recent and this year's team, although it does have some talent,
10:59
Speaker 3: it is not exactly you know, Trevor Lawrence or Deshaun
11:02
Speaker 3: t that's beating up on Saban in the title game.
11:04
Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely, all right, let's we got to close this
11:07
Speaker 2: with the biggest news out there. This is nothing about
11:11
Speaker 2: Clemson football. This is your personal news that you and
11:15
Speaker 2: Augusta Stone, who a lot of our listeners will know
11:18
Speaker 2: from when she covered the Panthers at Panthers dot com.
11:21
Speaker 2: You two are engaged after dating for a while. Congratulations.
11:25
Speaker 2: We always loved her on this show. She always matched
11:27
Speaker 2: the energy of this show. I don't know if you've
11:29
Speaker 2: noticed Chapel we yell, we laugh a lot, and I
11:33
Speaker 2: loved her energy. She would come on this show and
11:36
Speaker 2: I would be like this entergy. Her energy matches the show.
11:39
Speaker 2: So that's awesome, awesome news. Congratulations brother, Yeah, thank you
11:44
Speaker 2: guys so much.
11:45
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be the second most famous Mac and
11:48
Speaker 3: Bone guest in our household. We're super excited, be super excited.
11:52
Speaker 3: She'll love to hear that this came up on the show,
11:54
Speaker 3: so I will pass that along. I'll clip this and

11:57
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, definitely, tell her congratulates. All right, brother,
12:01
Speaker 2: be good man, keep up the good work.
12:03
Speaker 3: All right, thank you guys.
12:04
Speaker 1: By all right, did you.
12:05
Speaker 2: Go Chapel Fowler State newspaper, Clemson Beat writer a very
12:08
Speaker 2: good conversation there. They are fascinating. The tigers are freaking fascinating.
12:12
Speaker 2: Big kat Dan says, ten to eleven wins ACC championship.
12:16
Speaker 2: Would that would be huge, w a huge statement from
12:18
Speaker 2: Dabo Dabo. Would have Dabo Fitny be talking about the
12:21
Speaker 2: haters again, Dall we'd be.
12:23
Speaker 1: Saying, where are the haters? You've gone away?
12:25
Speaker 2: Now?
12:26
Speaker 1: If they did that, I got a chill a little bit.
12:29
Speaker 2: I picked them to win the national title last year,
12:32
Speaker 2: and I was one of many people who had like,
12:35
Speaker 2: I don't know, six omelets worth of egg on my
12:37
Speaker 2: damn face last year. So I think they can win
12:40
Speaker 2: nine though, I do like their schedule. Man, no SMU,
12:44
Speaker 2: no Louisville, get Miami at home. I do like their schedule.
12:48
Speaker 2: By the way, as I was wrapping up with Chapel,
12:52
Speaker 2: I got one eye on the British Open. Lucas Herbert
12:58
Speaker 2: had a four you would say, four foot putt to own,
13:04
Speaker 2: not just the course record. Royal Birkdale shout out to
13:08
Speaker 2: Ryan may Or, our former coworker, who texted in said back,
13:11
Speaker 2: this is the this is the Open Championship record if
13:13
Speaker 2: he if he shoots a sixty one. He had a
13:16
Speaker 2: four foot putt to do that, fitty and missed it.
13:19
Speaker 2: And he clearly knew what was at stake because he
13:23
Speaker 2: stayed hunched over head down for about ten ten to
13:28
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds. Afterwards, he knew he just missed a chance
13:31
Speaker 2: at history. So now him and Brandon Grace will share
13:35
Speaker 2: the course record and the Open Championship record. Off the
13:38
Speaker 2: sixty two. Still a pretty good day at the office.
13:40
Speaker 2: But dude, he missed a four footer for the record.
13:44
Speaker 4: Yeah he uh, he pulled a rory.
13:46
Speaker 1: That's real.
13:47
Speaker 5: He roryed the hole there, Mack, because he was trying
13:50
Speaker 5: to shoot for a record that year.
13:51
Speaker 1: The championship. That's true.
13:52
Speaker 2: Roy did that a few times yesterday. But man, that's
13:55
Speaker 2: that was that. That was interesting. That was good stuff.
13:57
Speaker 2: And we usually don't have sports on We don't have
13:59
Speaker 2: big sports happenings. Usually we're on the air. That was
14:02
Speaker 2: kind of exciting.
14:02
Speaker 4: Can I Can I confess something to you really quick?
14:05
Speaker 1: Yes?
14:06
Speaker 5: Because we've been talking about like Clemson and and their
14:08
Speaker 5: expectations this year, and I've kind of planned through the
14:11
Speaker 5: flag saying I've got them going ten and two. I
14:14
Speaker 5: got to go through the my schedules and start running
14:17
Speaker 5: down my projected records. We may have that three way
14:21
Speaker 5: tie scenario with the way that I've got the ACC
14:24
Speaker 5: playing out this.
14:24
Speaker 2: Year, So you're gonna have three way tie with three
14:27
Speaker 2: different records.
14:28
Speaker 5: I very well could have that, so which means I
14:32
Speaker 5: may have to just force a loss on someone just
14:34
Speaker 5: to not have this.
14:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, just so I don't have to do the math.
14:37
Speaker 2: I'm telling you they gonna get clowned if it ends
14:39
Speaker 2: up with an eight to one team, seven and one teams,
14:41
Speaker 2: seven and two team and a three way tie. And
14:43
Speaker 2: I'm using air quotes for tie because it is good.
14:45
Speaker 2: The way they define ties are teams that have the
14:48
Speaker 2: same amount of wins or same amount of losses because
14:50
Speaker 2: five teams will play eight games and twelve will play nine.
14:54
Speaker 1: That will be silly.
14:55
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean that is such a that is such
14:58
Speaker 2: a hashtag goecet sea thing, like, are you kidding me?
15:02
Speaker 2: The ACC it's a better tie breaker, but they have
15:06
Speaker 2: to be the conference that has five teams playing a
15:08
Speaker 2: different amount of games, So they have to put these
15:10
Speaker 2: goofy things in.
15:11
Speaker 5: We're the reason why Greg Sankey and Greg Battiti threatened
15:14
Speaker 5: will just go do their own thing because of the
15:17
Speaker 5: the the idiotic nature that exists sometimes in the ACCCE
15:21
Speaker 5: and sometimes out here recently the Big Twelve.
15:25
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break here, y'all Clemson fans
15:28
Speaker 2: begging me not to go with the high prediction. This
15:31
Speaker 2: dude said, got a problem with Fiddy's prediction. They play
15:34
Speaker 2: LSU and Miami, Fitty, so let's face it, they're losing
15:37
Speaker 2: those two games. You're basically saying they will lose no
15:41
Speaker 2: other games. Correct, There you go. Fitty ain't backing away
15:44
Speaker 2: from it.
15:44
Speaker 5: Sir, only because I don't believe in the full bounce
15:47
Speaker 5: back of South Carolina and Shane Beemer like that would
15:52
Speaker 5: be the that would be the third loss because the
15:54
Speaker 5: Notre Dame schedule agreement doesn't start into what next year
15:57
Speaker 5: they start playing.
15:57
Speaker 2: And they don't play Louisville and they do have it,
16:02
Speaker 2: so they got a chance. You have to go to
16:04
Speaker 2: the state schedule that that could trip them up along
16:07
Speaker 2: the way. I gotta go to Keidan Stadium. Who's coaching,
16:10
Speaker 2: bell and check or coach Dougs. Who'll be coaching when
16:12
Speaker 2: that game comes around? Actually that's Week three, that's early
16:15
Speaker 2: in the season. All right, Well we come back on
16:17
Speaker 2: the show. It's a football Friday, y'all. We're talking more football.
16:21
Speaker 2: So yesterday was a day where we talked all about
16:24
Speaker 2: n a lot about NC State. Some of y'all loved it,
16:26
Speaker 2: some of y'all got annoy with it. We talked all
16:28
Speaker 2: about how manageable their schedule is. I want to talk
16:32
Speaker 2: to fans from all the FBS teams in the Carolinas
16:37
Speaker 2: whose schedule is like states. Who in the Carolinas has
16:40
Speaker 2: a schedule where it's like WHOA, they can do some damage?
16:43
Speaker 2: And who has a schedule where you're looking at it
16:46
Speaker 2: and you are scared to death. We'll talk about it.
16:49
Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
17:09
Speaker 1: This is the year Fantasy State.
17:11
Speaker 3: They've been so close all along and then you finally
17:14
Speaker 3: get a quarterback like CJ. Bailey.
17:16
Speaker 2: He's the real deal, and you only get a couple
17:18
Speaker 2: of years with guys like that.
17:20
Speaker 3: This is the time to take it.
17:21
Speaker 6: And the ransfers are coming in with it. Some high
17:23
Speaker 6: school guys now Fantasi State. You know, in the last
17:26
Speaker 6: six years they've won the second most games in the
17:29
Speaker 6: AC State.
17:29
Speaker 4: That's what they do.
17:30
Speaker 6: You know, they stay under the radar. You and it's oh,
17:34
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna tell you this. I knew it as
17:35
Speaker 6: a coach in this league NC State. When you put
17:39
Speaker 6: the money, you better be healthy, you better be ready,
17:42
Speaker 6: and if you've got to go to Carter Finley, they're
17:46
Speaker 6: off top of you. I mean that's a hard place
17:47
Speaker 6: to be.
17:49
Speaker 2: That's the ACC huddle crew that add them to the
17:51
Speaker 2: list of folks that are hyping up n C State
17:54
Speaker 2: this week.
17:55
Speaker 1: Dave Dorton was and CJ.
17:56
Speaker 2: Bailey we're doing it themselves talking championship this week, and
18:00
Speaker 2: they didn't mention the schedule. The schedule to me, the
18:05
Speaker 2: combination of CJ. Bailey is a third year quarterback and
18:08
Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Along with
18:11
Speaker 2: that schedule, I really think you could be looking at
18:15
Speaker 2: a team in the top five, top four of the ACC.
18:18
Speaker 2: Even tar Heel Fitty said that yesterday. But that is
18:23
Speaker 2: just gonna lead because I don't want to turn this
18:26
Speaker 2: into all about NC State, although State fans want to
18:28
Speaker 2: jump in talk about your schedule and your thoughts on it.
18:31
Speaker 2: They play six of the bottom eight teams in sp
18:35
Speaker 2: ranking in the ACC. I mean, the problem is, Fitty,
18:40
Speaker 2: They're a program with a history of we'll packet it
18:44
Speaker 2: losing games they're supposed to win. But if they don't
18:47
Speaker 2: do that this year, man, they got a chance to
18:50
Speaker 2: do some real freaking damage.
18:52
Speaker 1: They really do.
18:53
Speaker 5: The opportunities in front of them. Back in an ACC
18:56
Speaker 5: that we don't know for certain who was going to
18:59
Speaker 5: a merged behind Miami. I think the leaders in the
19:03
Speaker 5: clubhouse are obviously SMU Louisville. I've been tuning Clemson as
19:08
Speaker 5: that second team, but they're all unknown. It's not a
19:11
Speaker 5: guarantee that all three of those teams are gonna hit.
19:15
Speaker 5: And I think Bailey is poised to even but off
19:18
Speaker 5: what he did last year, where I think he can
19:20
Speaker 5: maybe flirt and maybe be in the conversation. I think
19:23
Speaker 5: Darien Mints is gonna be the ACC Player of the Year,
19:26
Speaker 5: but I think the guy that could be second third
19:28
Speaker 5: in voting when the season comes to an end is
19:31
Speaker 5: is Bailey.
19:32
Speaker 4: Wolf Pack FITTI So if the defense is better the house,
19:37
Speaker 4: let me finish.
19:38
Speaker 5: Let me finish my point because when they lose, like
19:41
Speaker 5: in Week one, you'll be mad at me for mocking them.
19:43
Speaker 4: So are you trying to John Curs thing? I'm not like.
19:46
Speaker 5: I actually think that they they've got They've got a
19:49
Speaker 5: legitimate shot here, and it all starts with a quarterback.
19:52
Speaker 5: And I do think Dave Dorian is kind of tired
19:55
Speaker 5: of the noise around him and his job security in
19:58
Speaker 5: his future. I think he loves me in the head
20:00
Speaker 5: coach at NC State, and I think you're going to
20:02
Speaker 5: see a better Wolfpack team than what you saw last year.
20:04
Speaker 4: And they finished the season strong too.
20:06
Speaker 1: That's the other thing.
20:07
Speaker 2: They won the last four I thing or four to
20:09
Speaker 2: the last five after Miami. Just Miami's the only lost
20:12
Speaker 2: in the last five games, and Miami obliterated them. Somebody says,
20:15
Speaker 2: what's so easy about state schedule? First of all, the
20:18
Speaker 2: strength of schedule rankings Phil Steele, ESPN. They both have
20:22
Speaker 2: it as the easiest schedule in the ACC. They play
20:25
Speaker 2: no Miami, no SMU, and no Clemson and they played
20:28
Speaker 2: Louisville but they get them at home. So that right there,
20:31
Speaker 2: that's the basically the cliff Notes edition of it. And
20:34
Speaker 2: I want to kind of I didn't want to make
20:35
Speaker 2: this all about State again unless State fans want to
20:38
Speaker 2: chime in, But I'm curious do you have a strong
20:41
Speaker 2: feeling if fidiab will go through this, But like, do
20:44
Speaker 2: y'all have a strong feeling if you're a fan of
20:46
Speaker 2: Duke Wait, Carolina, Clemson, South Carolina, or the group of
20:51
Speaker 2: six schools, Charlotte, app ECU. I'd love to hear from
20:55
Speaker 2: all of you. Do you have a strong feeling on
20:57
Speaker 2: your schedule? Like have you looked at your schedule and thought, man,
21:02
Speaker 2: I like this, there's an opportunity to win a good
21:05
Speaker 2: amount of games, or have any of you looked at
21:07
Speaker 2: it and said that looks like death? How are we
21:10
Speaker 2: going to win games in that schedule? So that's what
21:13
Speaker 2: I want to talk about. The schedules along with NC
21:15
Speaker 2: State and the Carolinas that are like encouraging, how many
21:19
Speaker 2: of you are encouraged by your schedule. How many of
21:22
Speaker 2: you are terrified and hate your schedule. We will talk
21:25
Speaker 2: through that here. Feel free to send in those techs
21:28
Speaker 2: seven four, five, seven, nine to six ten want to
21:30
Speaker 2: get it's many of these fan bases, all of you
21:33
Speaker 2: guys and gals that root for these FBS teams at
21:36
Speaker 2: the Carolinas, like to get you involved. I do need
21:39
Speaker 2: to shout out Fitty our guy, Panther Steve. Now, Panther Steve.
21:44
Speaker 1: I don't know.
21:44
Speaker 2: We give him a hard time on this show. Sometimes
21:46
Speaker 2: we don't understand his texts and tweets. Some The man
21:52
Speaker 2: once bragged about getting the brass at Bank of America
21:55
Speaker 2: Stadium to put a mellow yellow tap in just for
21:59
Speaker 2: him in his own section. He is he is one
22:02
Speaker 2: of one. But we cannot make fun of this man anymore.
22:05
Speaker 2: He just delivered a dozen donuts to us. Man Panther Steve,
22:09
Speaker 2: nothing but love for you today, baby.
22:11
Speaker 5: He may be the actual, real and truest Panther fan
22:15
Speaker 5: that we talk about and over over Panther Mac over
22:18
Speaker 5: Panther Fitty over Panther Bone. He was wearing a nice polo.
22:21
Speaker 5: I had to go out and get him meet the
22:23
Speaker 5: don't and get the donuts from them. So he was
22:26
Speaker 5: in a really good one. He's changed his schedule now
22:29
Speaker 5: working Monday through Thursdays, has.
22:31
Speaker 2: The weekends off. Now you get the whole life story
22:33
Speaker 2: for Jesse. Here's my question, though, he set in a
22:36
Speaker 2: bag here that has organic gummies in them. Are these
22:43
Speaker 2: like drugs? He said he was going to send organic
22:47
Speaker 2: gummies over. Is that drugs? Or is that just like
22:51
Speaker 2: regular like gummy bears should give your kids.
22:53
Speaker 4: I don't know, Mac popolin end.
22:55
Speaker 2: I have had horrible experiences with the gummies I that
22:59
Speaker 2: did not go well at all, and then that chocolate
23:02
Speaker 2: text gave me whoa boy? Anyway, I don't know. I
23:06
Speaker 2: think it's just like regular gummy bears. But I didn't like.
23:11
Speaker 2: I got a little scared. I had some flashbacks. All right,
23:15
Speaker 2: let's talk through this shit. Let's talk through this, y'all.
23:19
Speaker 2: But Stevie, you de man, But let's talk through this.
23:21
Speaker 2: Anybody out there have a feeling one way or the
23:24
Speaker 2: other as a local college football fan, man I love
23:27
Speaker 2: this schedule, or man I hate this schedule. Fiddy, if
23:30
Speaker 2: you're a Heels fan, you could speak on this. You
23:32
Speaker 2: actually happened to be a Heels fan. You're gonna wear
23:35
Speaker 2: all your Heels gear over to acc kickoff today and
23:38
Speaker 2: wave to coach Belichick. That schedule. You have to hate
23:42
Speaker 2: that schedule, don't you. I mean that is that looks
23:45
Speaker 2: daunting to me? Do you feel like it's that bad
23:47
Speaker 2: or over? Are we overrating it?
23:49
Speaker 5: The first four games, Mac, this team could be one
23:51
Speaker 5: in three, and they can be an improved one in three,
23:54
Speaker 5: Like they could be a better version than what we
23:56
Speaker 5: saw out of the first month of the gate last year.
24:00
Speaker 5: Of the TCU game in Dublin, They're not going to
24:02
Speaker 5: be expected to win that game a bye week the
24:04
Speaker 5: first like week like in week one of the season
24:07
Speaker 5: home to East Tennessee State at Clemson and then home
24:11
Speaker 5: to Notre Dame, They're not gonna be expected to win
24:12
Speaker 5: either of those two games.
24:13
Speaker 2: I mean, I just fear that's one in three out
24:15
Speaker 2: at the rip exactly like you said, you could be
24:18
Speaker 2: a better team and still be one three.
24:19
Speaker 5: And the problem is if they start one in three,
24:22
Speaker 5: then the math to get to six and six to
24:24
Speaker 5: get to a bowl game just becomes increasingly increasingly difficult
24:28
Speaker 5: because for their last five shape up with home to
24:30
Speaker 5: Miami at Yukon, home to Louisville, at Virginia and home
24:35
Speaker 5: to State. They can be favored and win maybe one
24:39
Speaker 5: of those games, maybe two like that. Like so you
24:43
Speaker 5: have a very tough beginning. You've kind of got a
24:46
Speaker 5: soft middle. Where could you get Oh I.
24:48
Speaker 1: Got a soft middle? All right?
24:50
Speaker 2: Oh you're talking to Carolina schedule after that cruise. I
24:54
Speaker 2: got that soft middle again. So it's it's really tough.
24:57
Speaker 5: But I'm in that time of the year Flounder and
25:00
Speaker 5: I going through our previews on the Heel Top Block
25:03
Speaker 5: podcast where I'm starting to get optimistic. I'm starting to
25:07
Speaker 5: believe they're going to be better. But this could be
25:09
Speaker 5: like that Chip Patterson audio we pulled earlier in the week, Mac,
25:12
Speaker 5: they can be a better football team and not have
25:14
Speaker 5: a better record, and they have a better record.
25:16
Speaker 2: Fitty Phil Steels got him with the thirteenth toughest schedule
25:19
Speaker 2: in the country, in the entire country, hardest schedule in
25:22
Speaker 2: the ACC. You mentioned the start of it. You mentioned
25:26
Speaker 2: the opponents you play, TCU, Notre Dame, Miami, Louisville, Clemson,
25:30
Speaker 2: and your rival who owns you, NC State. That's how
25:36
Speaker 2: many games, that's six games right there. Yeah, Like, how
25:39
Speaker 2: the hell are they getting to a bowl game with
25:40
Speaker 2: the schedule.
25:41
Speaker 4: I don't know.
25:41
Speaker 2: I don't think it's possible, man, And it sucks because
25:44
Speaker 2: I love the Patrino higher and I do think they'll
25:46
Speaker 2: be better.
25:47
Speaker 1: I said it to you off the air this week.
25:49
Speaker 2: If I was a Heels fan, I would totally be thinking,
25:52
Speaker 2: why didn't we just have this schedule last year and
25:54
Speaker 2: just get it over with and then hopefully get a
25:57
Speaker 2: better team out there and play Because winning four games
26:00
Speaker 2: last year's cake schedule, My god, that was a blown opportunity.
26:03
Speaker 5: And because Mac, if they would have, like, if let's
26:05
Speaker 5: say this was a schedule last year and they gone
26:09
Speaker 5: four and eight, right and let's say it looked as
26:11
Speaker 5: bad as it did when they were getting their ass
26:13
Speaker 5: kicked by TCU Central Florida Clemson in the like, we'd
26:17
Speaker 5: be able to make excuses for Pelichick, Like we like
26:21
Speaker 5: we could excuse that there was never a world where
26:24
Speaker 5: last year you could excuse them being four and eight
26:27
Speaker 5: and then looking the way that they looked at Here's
26:31
Speaker 5: the other thing, back they were four and five. They
26:33
Speaker 5: got to four and five for as bad as it was,
26:35
Speaker 5: and they had a chance to get to a bowl game,
26:38
Speaker 5: and they lost their final three games all to instante opponents.
26:41
Speaker 5: Like that was the other kick in the teeth for
26:43
Speaker 5: last year was you fell short, but you also fell
26:46
Speaker 5: short against your peers in the try.
26:48
Speaker 1: So I think that one feels like the worst. Again.
26:51
Speaker 2: I'm curious A lot a lot of folks aren't texting
26:54
Speaker 2: about their schedule.
26:55
Speaker 1: Have y'all not looked at your football schedules yet? The rosters?
26:59
Speaker 2: I know y'all would pick it. Yeah, you're trying to
27:00
Speaker 2: figure out who are these players that we added. I
27:03
Speaker 2: know y'all picked out your tailgate games. I know y'all
27:05
Speaker 2: have done that. If you're not just going every home game,
27:08
Speaker 2: all local team fans jump in here, and this includes
27:12
Speaker 2: app ECU Charlotte. Do you have a strong feeling on
27:15
Speaker 2: your schedule one way or the other? Seven oh four
27:18
Speaker 2: five seven h nine six ten. I kind of do
27:21
Speaker 2: like clemson schedule other than LSU and Miami, I kind
27:25
Speaker 2: of like Clemson schedule. Fitty, where are they at here
27:29
Speaker 2: in terms of the of UH of the rankings fifty eighth,
27:34
Speaker 2: fifty eighth the country, only the tenth hardest in the ACC.
27:39
Speaker 2: They don't play LSU or Miami. They have or they
27:45
Speaker 2: don't play They play l SU Miami. Duh, they don't
27:47
Speaker 2: play Louisville and SMU. They get Miami in South Carolina
27:50
Speaker 2: at home. I like that schedule. That could be like
27:54
Speaker 2: a nine win schedule, I think, And maybe that's part
27:57
Speaker 2: of why you're saying ten wins.
27:59
Speaker 1: I would guess, right, yeah.
28:00
Speaker 5: Well, and I think a lot of people are probably
28:02
Speaker 5: I think if they're projecting them to win nine games,
28:04
Speaker 5: maybe they're projecting a loss to South Carolina in the
28:08
Speaker 5: regular season finale. I think mac a game that's going
28:12
Speaker 5: to tell us a lot about their culture and if
28:14
Speaker 5: they've kind of bounced back from where they were a
28:17
Speaker 5: year ago. That Friday night game at Cow before the
28:21
Speaker 5: Miami game, you got to go to the West coast.
28:25
Speaker 5: You've got to do it on a short week.
28:27
Speaker 4: What does what does that?
28:28
Speaker 5: Because we've seen teams go there, Andraks slinging it.
28:31
Speaker 1: KKs is a ball er quarterback.
28:33
Speaker 5: I mean twoyears ago, Miami had to come back after
28:35
Speaker 5: and it was a Friday it was it wasn't a
28:37
Speaker 5: Friday night.
28:37
Speaker 4: I think it was a Saturday night game.
28:38
Speaker 5: But regardless, we've seen teams that have gone from East
28:41
Speaker 5: coast to west coast and it hasn't gone great.
28:43
Speaker 2: That's a sneaky one, man, No, I think that's from you.
28:46
Speaker 2: Last year lost, Did they lose that cow?
28:48
Speaker 4: I believe, Yeah, I believe I believe it was that cow.
28:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be a sneaky one, but I think
28:51
Speaker 2: that I think as far Again, this dude says, Mac,
28:54
Speaker 2: it's not as easy as you're making it seem. Not
28:57
Speaker 2: every team wins every game they should. Well, yeah, I
28:59
Speaker 2: just had a woop back the Texan in Absolutely, it's
29:03
Speaker 2: it's only it only does so good on paper. Have
29:06
Speaker 2: a schedule you think's easy. Plus you have some teams
29:08
Speaker 2: that end up better, some teams that end up worse.
29:10
Speaker 5: What's crazy, Mac, Whenever we used to look at clemson schedule,
29:13
Speaker 5: what was the game we circled the most that they
29:16
Speaker 5: played every single year?
29:17
Speaker 4: The Florida State Game.
29:19
Speaker 5: Because the fella who ever won that game had the
29:20
Speaker 5: inside track to win their division, yours would go on
29:23
Speaker 5: to win the ACC.
29:24
Speaker 4: When does that game matter?
29:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not quite the same, not quite the same
29:28
Speaker 2: at all. Matter of fact, I don't even care.
29:30
Speaker 4: That could be fired when they play on Halloween.
29:32
Speaker 2: If a team plays Florida State. Is that an easy
29:34
Speaker 2: game or a hard game or just a mid game?
29:37
Speaker 2: You know, it's certainly not a hard game anymore. I
29:40
Speaker 2: not thought of that way local college football teams. NC
29:44
Speaker 2: State's got an easy schedule, Carolina's got a hard schedule.
29:47
Speaker 2: Who else has an extreme feeling about their schedule or
29:50
Speaker 2: who should seven oh four, five, seven, nine to six ten.
29:54
Speaker 2: I do want to mention Charlotte and ECU, both in
29:58
Speaker 2: the same conference dvantage ECU. ECU's schedule is the ninety
30:03
Speaker 2: sixth ranked in the country. Only three schedules, just Phil
30:06
Speaker 2: Steel rankings only three schedules are are easier in the
30:10
Speaker 2: conference than ECU. Now, they open at Alabama, so I
30:15
Speaker 2: ain't saying that's easy. But other than that, they get
30:18
Speaker 2: app at home in that you know, in that you
30:22
Speaker 2: know interstate game. They don't play any of Phil Steele's
30:26
Speaker 2: top three teams in their conference and they're pick fourth.
30:29
Speaker 2: So the three teams Phil Steel picks ahead of ECU,
30:32
Speaker 2: he doesn't have them playing. Then you look at Charlotte
30:35
Speaker 2: Fitty and I hate this for Tim Albin, who I
30:40
Speaker 2: think is has proved at Ohio. He can build a
30:43
Speaker 2: program and he's a damn good football coach, But I
30:46
Speaker 2: just think he has a lot of factors working against him,
30:48
Speaker 2: and I think it includes the schedule. Charlotte's schedule is
30:52
Speaker 2: seventy ninth. That's the toughest schedule, according to Phil Steele
30:55
Speaker 2: in the entire conference. It's only three spots lower than
31:00
Speaker 2: in State, and State's in the ACC and they're in
31:03
Speaker 2: the American. They play at Ole Miss, they play at
31:07
Speaker 2: app App of course routed him here at the Bank
31:11
Speaker 2: last year. And they play four of Phil Steele's top
31:15
Speaker 2: six teams in the conference. Again, not everybody is as
31:18
Speaker 2: good or bad fitting as they're projected to be, but
31:21
Speaker 2: they play Tulane, Navy, ECU, and Memphis. I know this
31:24
Speaker 2: isn't what Charlotte forty nine er fans wanted to hear.
31:28
Speaker 2: I know this isn't what Walker Mayle wants to hear.
31:31
Speaker 2: But like this, even they can't even get a break
31:34
Speaker 2: on the schedule, Dude, for the Niners. That sucks.
31:37
Speaker 3: Man.
31:38
Speaker 5: There might be a game this year mac where Charlotte
31:41
Speaker 5: gets beat gets blown out, and Tim albin is addressing
31:45
Speaker 5: the media has to quote the uh the infamous seven
31:48
Speaker 5: year playing that Matt Ruhle talked about with jay Z
31:51
Speaker 5: because it might take him seven years. I do think
31:54
Speaker 5: MAC he's going to build them into a competitive.
31:58
Speaker 2: Football program, do you, Because he's got a new boss there.
32:01
Speaker 2: There's no longer the a d there Mike Hill that
32:03
Speaker 2: hired him. If they if they have another brutal season,
32:08
Speaker 2: I don't know if he survives, you know what I mean?
32:12
Speaker 2: I hate it because he's a really good football coach.
32:17
Speaker 2: He proved out of Ohio the way that they started there.
32:20
Speaker 2: Three wins, grew it, grew it grew it were the
32:23
Speaker 2: the standard in the MAC when he left. But man,
32:26
Speaker 2: he's up against it there. But anyway, we'll see. Col
32:30
Speaker 2: Gonzales could be the guy that gives you hope. It
32:32
Speaker 2: does feel like they have added a quarterback that is
32:35
Speaker 2: in upgrade, but the pieces around him have to do
32:38
Speaker 2: their jobs. Let's see what we're getting fit before you
32:40
Speaker 2: do an update. Let's see what people are saying on
32:42
Speaker 2: the text line. Murph and high Point says, I am
32:45
Speaker 2: very scared of our schedule.
32:46
Speaker 1: Is that bones dog this?
32:48
Speaker 2: No? I don't think it's Murf the puppy. Georgia. Let's
32:51
Speaker 2: see here Georgia Southern Marshall on the road.
32:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, app State.
32:57
Speaker 2: Where was there? I looked up their schedule information. Where
32:59
Speaker 2: were they at? They were ranked one eighteenth in the
33:03
Speaker 2: country according to Phil Steele, only four harder schedules in
33:06
Speaker 2: the Sun Belt. So yeah, that's one that is viewed
33:10
Speaker 2: as one of the tougher schedules in the Sun Belt.
33:12
Speaker 2: All right, let's see what else we have here, fit Daddy,
33:15
Speaker 2: we'll pack Joe.
33:15
Speaker 1: What's what pack?
33:16
Speaker 2: James saying, we got the easiest schedule in the ACC.
33:19
Speaker 2: If we had Tony Gibson, I would be more confident.
33:22
Speaker 2: I'm still not sure about Elliott. Yeah, he had a
33:25
Speaker 2: lot going on personally last year, right his daughter was
33:28
Speaker 2: sick and then he lost her in the middle of
33:30
Speaker 2: the season, So I want to be fair to him
33:32
Speaker 2: about that. But I see what you're saying. If it
33:34
Speaker 2: was a vintage State defense to go with CJ. Bailey
33:37
Speaker 2: in his third year in that schedule, I would probably
33:40
Speaker 2: be hyping him up Fitty to play here in Charlotte,
33:43
Speaker 2: which is maybe it's a good thing State fans. Maybe
33:45
Speaker 2: it's a good thing you don't still have Tony Gibson.
33:48
Speaker 2: Let's see what else is going on here. On the
33:50
Speaker 2: text line, Fiddy's future father in law would like to
33:54
Speaker 2: make sure that you put the.
33:58
Speaker 1: Is that him that said no, it's somebody? Or is
33:59
Speaker 1: it so nobody else?
34:00
Speaker 2: Phitty's future follow up wants to make sure you put
34:02
Speaker 2: the podcast Fitty on the website. All right, first two
34:07
Speaker 2: hours are up. This dude really thinks what's our guy's name?
34:16
Speaker 2: He's the father of Brookie Cookie, Right, Yeah, I just
34:19
Speaker 2: named him Fitty's future father in law on the text line,
34:22
Speaker 2: although it's I feel like they are very I feel
34:24
Speaker 2: like there's very low odds, kind of like the heels
34:26
Speaker 2: making a bowl game type odds that this really happens.
34:30
Speaker 2: But you longer down, longtime listener, you put you put
34:33
Speaker 2: up the podcast though, daily don't you?
34:35
Speaker 1: Yes? Why is he on you? Wat's your father in
34:37
Speaker 1: law on you? Fitty?
34:38
Speaker 4: I was delayed yesterday because we had a computer show.
34:41
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it? Maybe that's it? All right?
34:45
Speaker 2: Anyway, this dude says mac, is it possible that that
34:48
Speaker 2: my wolf pack have the easiest schedule in the ACC
34:51
Speaker 2: and are still mid? I mean, what's mid? Like Dave
34:55
Speaker 2: dorn ten out of thirteen years has been seven wins,
34:58
Speaker 2: eight wins or nine wins, So feel like you can
35:00
Speaker 2: put them in that area. I would be shocked if
35:04
Speaker 2: it's not eight or nine wins, Like if they won
35:06
Speaker 2: seven games, I'd be very surprised because of the experience
35:09
Speaker 2: at quarterback, because both coordinators are in their second year now,
35:13
Speaker 2: and because of the schedule. I just I would be
35:15
Speaker 2: disappointed if I think they can get nine. Man, I
35:18
Speaker 2: think Clemson in state can be at nine. All right, anyway,
35:22
Speaker 2: I gotta let you do an update. I gotta shut
35:24
Speaker 2: the hell up. Let's do a fitty flash, ladies and gentlemen,

Speaker 2: twenty minutes of you, you and Fitty screaming back and
43:19
Speaker 2: forth about whether to call it the British Open or

43:26
Speaker 2: I think we did listen to the podcast from yesterday's
43:28
Speaker 2: first hour. I feel like we did that, or maybe we.
43:31
Speaker 5: Sh referred to it as the Open, No British Championship,
43:36
Speaker 5: no Open.
43:36
Speaker 2: Champions Is that what you want to call the Open?
43:38
Speaker 2: Just the openness? It is the Open, It is the Open.
43:42
Speaker 2: I am old school and we used to be called
43:46
Speaker 2: the British Open four years as I was younger, So
43:50
Speaker 2: I'm old school. I'm old school on it here got
43:52
Speaker 2: called the British Open. It's always been called the Open
43:54
Speaker 2: over there across the pond. This texta says long snapper

Speaker 2: By the way, Texter says, those English soccer folks are
44:22
Speaker 2: soccer fans are freaking out like Falcon fans after the
44:25
Speaker 2: twenty eight to three Super Bowl. I think that's a
44:27
