  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt. Posh, come on, Posh. This
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: is my friend T-Bone. Let's have some fun.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Do it live.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: When you hit the last play, was it all along
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: kind of when you got the ball to try to
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: run it out and run around in the end zone?
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's just a play where you roll
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: out and you don't get tackled.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: You try to burn as much time as you can
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: and then fall on the ground.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: And protect the football.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And he got hit, and he didn't protect the football.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: So the plan was to take a safety. We're trying
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: to run out the clock if we can, but there's
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: no intent to run the football and get.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Hit on that play.
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: That is Dave Doran. It's going to get interesting here.
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: NC State fans, I want to know what the heck
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: you think. It is pumped or pissed Monday, and there
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: are three fan bases in the Carolinas that I think
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: it's very interesting to find out which one of you
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: is the most mad. I feel like State fans should
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: be the most mad because the way they lost the
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: game is the most absurd, ridiculous way. that arguably I've
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: ever seen a team lose the game. It might be
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: the only way NC State has not lost a game, Bo,
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: because I feel like they've found every other way to lose.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Now they've found a new one. C.J.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Bailey's supposed to run down the clock as much as
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: he can and then take a safety. Dave Dorn said
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: he was told just to get down on the ground,
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: but not to get tackled. Do not take a hit. Um,
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: it's interesting because in a way I feel like that
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: absolves Dave Doran from a lot of the blame. I
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: know David Pollak on Twitter was like, this is not
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: one bit on Dave Doran. CJ Bailey didn't speak to
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the media, so we don't know what his side of
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: the story is. But I realized in the first hour,
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of state fans got ticked off bone either
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: at the, like the fact he didn't just tell him,
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: just run out the end zone. that he made him
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: have to decide when to go down type thing. Dave
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Dorn also got blasted by a couple of state fans
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: in the first hour for throwing Bailey under the bus.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: They didn't like the way his answer....
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Basically said, we told him to do this, he did that,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: and we lost the game because of it. So there's
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: a lot to unpack in terms of NC State fans
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: and how ticked you are. And I would just ask
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: South Carolina and UNC fans how mad you are too.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: State blew a 17-point lead.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: South Carolina blew a 16-point lead, and UNC blew a
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: 14-point lead. It was unbelievable what we were watching from
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: those three teams.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: And for South Carolina and NC State, Meg, I do
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: believe it's also the totality of events, and not just
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: on Saturday, of what occurred. Obviously, the moment for State
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: in that play, yeah, huge deal. But also, State fans
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: are already... Mad at Doran for not having the team
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: ready against Virginia when the year began. So they're already
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: mad at him. Then you throw this on top of it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: and that's where a lot of the ire comes from
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: state fans. Gamecock fans, it's about Saturday, but it's also
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: about the lack of progress with the program. It's about
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: the last couple years. It's just par for the course, Matt,
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: with the Gamecocks, what happened on Saturday. I'm not taking
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: away from Mississippi State.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: They are really, really good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: But you had him down by 16 and you completely
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: imploded in every aspect of the game.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's inexcusable.
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: Shane Beamer sat at the podium in December and said
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: how different this season would be, how they're going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: be a factor, a contender. And they look the same
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: as they have, Mac, all but maybe a few months
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: in the 2024 season. There's no progress there. shane beamer
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: i i've defended him to the hills and lenora sellers
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: i'm exhausted i'm numb and i can't do it anymore
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: man are you are you leaving the game are you
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: going back to florida no no no i'm just out
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: on this regime i'm out on waiting on sellers to
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: emerge as that high level guy it's not happening i
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: keep waiting for consistent success with the program it's not
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: happening shane beamer has in 41 games in the sec
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: has won 16 of them matt do you know the
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: last time they won a.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Game in the conference I do not. A year ago.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It's been a full year at this point.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: They have not won an SEC game since September 27th, 2025.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, man. I know it's a tough schedule. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: know it's hard. But you're also supposed to be tough
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: for teams at this point. And you're just not consistent
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: enough in building this program. The Sellers interceptions were killer.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Horrible. They were also really bad. They were really bad.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Back foot. Kind of throwing off his back. Like a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: back foot.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Did you see the coverage? Like did he, the second one,
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: at least he had no idea the guy was there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: He had no idea that guy in his own. The
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: first one, I think he thought he could get it
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: over him and he just pulled the string or whatever
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: and didn't get it out there. But those things are
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: killers because you're already, you've lost your lead. And now
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: it's like, OK, you can't then go make it easy
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: on Camario Taylor and the explosive Mississippi State offense by
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: giving them the ball in your territory.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And then he did it twice in a row. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: was brutal.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: I thought I thought the game should have been put
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: away early. Like they had one touchdown and three field
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: goals early, Bone. you've got to put, if you put
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: up three touchdowns and one field goal, you're up 24, nothing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: It's completely different than 16, nothing. And they blew that
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: as good as they were early in the game and
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: as dominant as they were. And I thought Taylor looked
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: like he was nervous. I thought he looked like bone
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: early on. He's sailing everything. What does that mean? Jake
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Delones talked about it amped up. You're amped up the
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: ball sails. So I think he was really amped up
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: to play in this huge spotlight game. And then once
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: he settled in and hit that first of two deep
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: touchdowns on y'all, it was like, oh no, that's the
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: worst thing that could happen. Y'all let him settle in.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: And now it's 16, seven. And then the hits the
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: next one at 16, 14. And I just, I don't know.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: It's still only one loss. I get bone that your
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: schedule's hard. The rest of the way, Mississippi state's a
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: good team. I don't know if I'd like I don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: know if I'd fire Beamer and throw the season away
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: just yet, although the fans were chanting fire Beamer.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: But from a fan point of view, Matt, what has
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Beamer done any different than Muschamp did?
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, Muschamp didn't have a year like 2024.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's one of the best years in school history.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Outside of that and success against Clemson, where is this?
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Clemson and Tennessee routes at the end of that one year. Okay,
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: but you can't live off that forever. But Bone, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: root for South Carolina. That doesn't mean they can't want more.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: What coach other than Steve Spurrier has done anything?
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: What we're not going to do, what you're not going
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: to do today, you're not going to tell me how
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: to fan. If I am tired of him as a
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: fan right now, speaking as a fan, you're not going
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: to tell me how I feel as a fan.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You're not a Gamecock fan. I am. And it's enough
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: is enough. So don't tell me how to fan. My God, bro. Seriously.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's not that deep.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: No, you do this thing where you're trying to tell
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: me how to be a fan.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Can I not be tired of my coach? Is that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Don't sit there and say, you're just South Carolina. Well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: I expect more than 60 to 20.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Let me know what team I can have an opinion on,
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: because Fitty Roots or UNC, if he yells at me
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: and doesn't let me have an opinion on them, then
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: we're in trouble.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I guess I can go back to NC State and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: that pathetic, hard way of losing a game.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: South Carolina fans right now don't want to hear what
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: you're doing about your South Carolina. They could still want
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: more from their coach.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, you could. But I, you know, I, I, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: get it. I just bring it in town.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: It feels like you went a long way from Friday
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: being so cocky that they were going to handle business.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And now you want to fire him. It just, I
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like they were, it's a bad loss.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: All y'all had bad losses. Your loss suck. Fitty state,
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: your loss sucked. Everybody get a sucky loss. Like, I
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: get it, man.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: You have one of the best defensive players in the country.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: You have a quarterback that is supposed to be one
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: of your best ever. You've got talent across the board.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: What have you done with that? You have Harbor. You
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: have Sellers. You have Stewart. That's great. Getting talent's one thing.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: What have you done to develop that talent? Has Harbor
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: gotten that much better? Has Sellers gotten that much better?
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: He's gotten better, but he's had so far to go.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Stewart can't do it on his own, but yes, two
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: years ago was great. But why do they go backwards
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: so quickly after those years? I think it's a real
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: hard place to win. I'm not trying to stir you up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: I think it's a really hard freaking place to win.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Their schedule is really tough the rest of the way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: But I said it earlier, if they.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: If they can force turnovers from Keelan Russell, I think
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: they can be in the game at Alabama. I just
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: want more to play out is all I'm saying. But
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: isn't that part of the problem?
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: If you are a Gamecock fan, I think Brad Crawford
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: tweeted this out, was they have the letdown on Saturday. Now, I,
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: as a college football fan, enjoyed it because I'm a
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: big Camario Taylor fan. I enjoyed watching what he did
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: in the second half. But Bone wouldn't be surprised if
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: it's a 28-24 game in the.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Fourth quarter at Alabama.
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: But the problem is, it's like the Bryce Young conversation.
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: When under a beamer can they be consistent? Can they
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: play a consistent level of football for 12 weeks?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that ever happened.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: And it's not too much for him to ask of that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? Stick to your own team. Because
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: this is the one thing you do when we get
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: into college sports. Can we just talk football, you two little,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, sensitive babies? Let's just talk football.
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: Oh, sorry.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Let me move to your damn team now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: You want fan reaction about how we feel about our teams,
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: and it's not. So then I guess we won't react
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: anymore to how we feel. Oh, now do that move.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Do that move where you just run and hide.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Because you don't fully root for the Gamecocks. You're not
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: understanding my point of view.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Like, I thought Mississippi State was going to win the game,
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: and I think Mississippi State's amazing offensively.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Like, so I just— I don't know. I see Bones'
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: point of view. Let's move on to your team.
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: Let's do it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Let's move on to your team over there, Chucklehead, because
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: you didn't have to get involved in this whole dispute.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: As far as North Carolina goes, how ticked off are
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: you that you had that opportunity to beat Clemson? And
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: by the way, I don't sense Clemson fans are out
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: of the piss category.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: No, Clemson.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Impumped or pissed. I don't sense the Clemson fans are
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: happy today, even with the win. Now, Dabo, we got
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: to play some audio of you. You would think they
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: won the national championship the way Dabo's talking.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: He did beat the undefeated Bill Belichick. And they did
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: show heart. And they did come out.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: They did use the delay time much better than the
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Tar Heels did because they came out and were a
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: different team. I thought, first of all, I thought the
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: offensive line had a rough 150 in pass protection, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: I also think Edwards didn't help matters. Felt like he
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: was holding the ball and felt like if there was
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: anybody around him, he was bothered by it. I really,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I thought Edwards would outplay Reynolds, be in the more experience.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: And once they got Reynolds on the move a bit
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: and getting him involved in the run game, Reynolds was
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: so superior as a true freshman.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: Your analysis right there, Mac, isn't incorrect, right? That's actually
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: good football astute from you. Why, thank you, Fit. That
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: means a lot to me. It means a lot to me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: Here's the question I want to ask you, because I
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: know Flounder and I will disagree this when we recap
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: the game tonight, 7 o'clock, on the Heel Tough Log podcast. Mac,
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: I thought the loss still showed progress. That same program
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: beat you by, what, 38 points, whatever it was last year,
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: and ran you off the field at halftime.
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: And that was a 7-6 Clemson team. I don't know
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: how good Clemson's going to be ultimately this year. But
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: you went on the road, in that environment, built a
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: 14-point lead, and I felt the entire football world had
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: buried Dabo and Clemson.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: You ran the heck out of the ball. 215 yards.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Hall is a beast, man. That June fumble hurt.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: As someone that expected to lose the game going into
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: the season after the first two weeks, I thought we
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: were the better team. and we built a 17-3 lead,
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: it still showed to me that we are taking the
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: right steps under Bill Belichick. This is still a program
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: heading in the right direction.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is progress, but it was there for y'all, man.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: What program has allowed more games like that to get
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: away than North Carolina?
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: What y'all lost those games under Fedora Brown. And now
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Belichick Belichick probably needs a lot of wins to make
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: up for the off the field cluster F that is
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: embarrassed the school. So it's like, how many wins can
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: he get to 50 that will keep them around and
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: offset the ridiculous, embarrassing off the field stuff.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: You also don't know what's around the corner either for
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: that program. You never know what's next for him either.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: It could be something completely different that comes around the
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: corner also. It never ends with him. Let me see
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: what texters are saying here.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: 704-570-9610.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Let's see what we have here. D-Rig says UNC. Wins
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: that game if there wasn't a weather delay. You know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: both teams got delayed there, guy. It definitely helped Clemson.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like the Florida State Alabama, though. You
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: can't deny, Bone, that Florida State had momentum. And not
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: saying they would have won, though, but Alabama came in
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: and swiftly.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Changed that game for 21-6.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: And I feel like Clemson, I feel like it helped
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Clemson a bit. To your point, there's no guarantee. There's
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: no guarantee UNC still wins the game. I also think
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Clemson found something on offense before the delay. They were
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: starting to percolate a little bit. They got back to within.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: What, two points?
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: I thought Philly Carolina should have gone for it after
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: the weather delay. I thought they should have tried to
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: get that thing in there, and then I also thought
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: they should have ran the ball instead of having Edwards
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: try to throw a deep ball.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I understood the field goal.
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: May Clemson have to go score a touchdown.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Obviously, they did.
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: The fourth and one, look, and I saw the all-22
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: footage Bailey had yesterday where he was telling me that,
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: and yes, a 24-year-old quarterback should be able to make
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: that throw. But, Matt, we had warmed them down up front.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: Just give the ball to Benjamin Hall. Let's keep the
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: drive moving.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: What yard line did y'all kick the field goal from?
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: I think the three. I think.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What played you call on third down?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Run.
• 14:15
  Speaker 11: Run.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: I think they ran it both.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remind myself.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: The problem was that they played for the field goal.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I understood why you kicked it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: They played, in my opinion, to kick.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The field goal.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: When I watched that, I felt like they needed a touchdown.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I felt like they needed to have a nine-point lead.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: That if they only have a one-score lead, they could
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: be in trouble. And my God, bing, bang, boom. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: blinked and they gave up the go-ahead damn touchdown, man.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Did you think Belichick was trying to let them score, Fetty?
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: When Brown ran the touchdown in?
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think so.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, probably not because homeboy probably should have made.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: The tackle there in the middle. Yeah, that was the issue.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: One of the linebackers, McDonald.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: We had two hours to get some fruits in our system,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: drink some Gatorade.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: And we came out and we were still flat.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: We still looked worn down. He did you a favor, too.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: He shouldn't have scored. He should have went down.
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: And he scored, and it didn't matter because your offense
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: wasn't capable. This texter says, as a Tar Heel fan,
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: I'm now worried about quarterback. Yeah, I thought Edwards would
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: have played better than that. I thought he was.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: He's great.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: When you have the lead, he's fine. He'll manage it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: But if you need him to make the big plays
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: or rally a team or they get behind at all,
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: that might be like when they got down 28-20. It
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: was 28-20, right? When they get down and need a
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: drive and he's got to make the plays, that's probably where.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: He's going to not succeed as much.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: He can handle it if they're leading and their defense
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: is doing their thing, but when he's got to go
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: win the game, that's going to be a problem. Texter says,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: can we get more of Bone yelling at Mac?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I missed that already. This is why you're a big
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: old ass. Man, now I know how Murphy feels when
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: he gets yelled at, man. Oh, my goodness.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: State fans, we kind of lost the state thing bone
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: because it got ugly on the South Carolina conversation. Clemson
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: fans want to be involved in the misery here. They
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: don't want to be left out. This texter says, don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: for once think as a Clemson fan, I'm pumped. That
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: is a crappy team we beat. and we were embarrassing
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: for two and a half quarters. Can we play the
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: Dabo clip, Fetty, of him talking about... We need to
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: go to break. Real quick, real quick, real quick. Dude
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: is humoring me with this. Give me the Dabo clip
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: where he's talking about the locker room, how powerful that
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: locker room was.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: You could cure cancer with what was in that locker room.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: That type of strength and joy and togetherness and synergy
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: and just, man, it's... I wish the world could experience that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: It's indescribable to experience a locker room after a moment
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: And just the unshakable belief. And I'm proud of them.
• 17:09
  Speaker 12: I'm incredibly thankful.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Could cure cancer. And what I've seen, what is in
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: this locker room, the strength and belief. What a room.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: He was very, you can tell bone.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: He is trying to rally, like trying to use this
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: as a springboard moment, right. To change their season, to
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: change the direction. Cause he was so big on the
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: strength and the heart that little old Clemson showed. We
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: got on that rest. Did you hear the interview after
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: the game? He was on the Dabo pulpit.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he was.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. He was cutting a Dabo promo.
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: He was.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: It's like, I'm not sure the win was all that,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: but Tate Reynolds is a baller, and maybe he grew up.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: Maybe he grew up a bit, man. Multiple people want
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: me to sneeze on you like I do Murphy, or
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: make the sneeze noise. Maybe that would put me in
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: my place. I wouldn't have any opinions, you know, about
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: your team. Pulse of Panther Nation next. Get on the
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: phone line, 704-570-9610. Your thoughts on the blowout yesterday over Atlanta.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Sports Radio 92.7.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: All right, y'all, let's do this. Let's get back happy again, y'all.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Let's get back happy on the same page, on the
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: same team, all right, with the same rooting interests.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It is time to talk Carolina Panther football. The win, baby.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: The win yesterday in absolute dominant fashion.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: 34-3.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Bryce is dealing with three more touchdown passes, five more
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: deep balls completed. This time, TMAC goes over 100. The
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: defense forces five turnovers, and Devin Lloyd's involved in three
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: of them, including a pick six.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: How are you feeling? Did they make you feel.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Better yesterday as a fan after the horrendous 59 points allowed?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: In the opener.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: And there needs to be a Bryce Young conversation, too.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: We're getting texts from people, Bone, that are saying... Is
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: it time to pay Bryce Young? Do you try to,
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: and I mentioned earlier in the show, people were tweeting
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: about it. Do you try to contact Bryce's agent and
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: make an offer right now? How do you feel about that, Boney? Like,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: is Bryce changing people's opinions? Did the team change your
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: opinion yesterday? And is it to the point now where
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: people are saying, would Bryce talk contract now with us?
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: No, because the contract stuff goes both ways.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: Why would Bryce want to talk about a contract right now?
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: If he's balling out and he's playing this well, Bryce
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: isn't going to. Bryce is only increasing his value. So
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: there'll be a time for the contract. But if I'm
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: Bryce Young's camp, I'm saying, hold off. Let me keep
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: doing what I'm doing here. I'm increasing my value. So
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: the Panthers may want to talk about it now, but
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: Bryce Young might not want.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: To talk about it. Yeah, that's what I said earlier.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: It goes both ways here. Bryce Dunn might say not now.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, you could try. You could try. Let the
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: whole season play out. Let the whole season play out.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: That's where I'm kind of at with this. I am
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: over the moon at how he started this season.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: For a guy that's been such a slow starter, an
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: offense that's been such slow starters, I don't think it's
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: coincidence that Brad Itzik is calling plays and they're throwing
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: more downfield. They're taking more play-action shots downfield instead of
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: play-action and then dinky passes, which is what they've done
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: in the past. What good's play action if you're going
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: to dink and dunk? Play action, suck the linebackers and
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: safeties up, hit them downfield. And that's what they're doing.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Their average distance of target on play action yesterday was
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: 13 yards.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: That's completely different.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: And I believe, and Bryce's, Bryce's over 10 yards average
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: distance of target for the season through two games. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: believe that's the Idzik effect. I believe he's convinced Dan
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: to be aggressive. Sometimes to the point where I'm like, Idzik,
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: mix in a few runs here, baby. Like he is aggressive.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: And I just love what I'm seeing. I feel like bone.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: You can let this go to after the season, but
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: I also want people to realize if he plays like
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: this for, let's say 12 of 17 games, he is
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: going to get absolutely showered in cash.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Like I I'm telling him if this is the quarterback,
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: he is in like two thirds of the games. He
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: is going to make 50 million plus easily.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Per year.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: He'll be falling into the vat of money like your
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: guy Scrooge McDuck, right?
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: And we can't whine about it. If he's like this
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: for the bulk of the season, Bone, the man's got
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: to get paid. But I think, you know, just let
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: this thing keep playing out. But God, I hope. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: that's the other question. Do you think it's going to
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: continue with Bryce?
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: And I know that the play calling has been better
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: for him and the playmakers are better. But I still wonder.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: And I guess someone will ask about it soon. I
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: still wonder right now how heavy is the influence on
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: Beville right now on Bryce? Because you're starting to really see.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: some of the elements of russell wilson right the deep
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: balls the the plays that you're starting to see more
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: and more of that than we've ever seen before absolutely
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: man um maybe why they brought him in we we
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: know yeah and i don't know how much that's bevel
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: or how much of it's idzik yeah um but i
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: just love seeing it's what we've been asking for it's
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: what i've been asking for with bryce He was efficient
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: throwing the ball down field last year.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Do it more.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Makes sense to me. Let's go to the phone. So
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: how do you feel about Bryce, the team, the defense?
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Did yesterday improve your opinion of these cats? Or was
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: it just a glorious day where you want to talk
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: trash about owning that horrendous football team in Atlanta?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: That's good, too.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: We can do that, too. 704-570-9610 if you want to
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: jump on board. All right, let's run through a few
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: calls here. Let's start with Matt Greensboro first up. Matt,
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: what did you think about yesterday?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: What's up, guys? Yeah, Bryce, I mean, he's bowing out.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: He bowed out in his home. Atlanta is his home.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, his house.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It's his house, man. And I'm sure it ticks. I
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: was off. fans off to no end but you know
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: he's yeah he owns that place and Bryce is balling
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: out his first two games if you can get a
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: contract worked out right now $ 50 million, that might be
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a bargain.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: It's probably going to be going up crazy. But, hey,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I want to shout out Dan Morgan, all the guys
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: he brought in, his linebackers balling out in 4K, Lloyd,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Lawler getting two touchdowns. When was the last time we
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: had a tight end get two touchdowns in a game?
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: It's not since Olsen. Not since Greg Olsen, man. And
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it, Matt. That might be your last tight
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: end touchdown. Good call, Matty.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I read that yesterday.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Bryce is the first one, Bone, to have three touchdown
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: passes in each of the first two games since Jake.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: And Waller's the first one with two touchdowns in a
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: game at tight end since Olsen. And Devin Lloyd, like
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: we said earlier, his stat line literally has not been
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: done since they calculated sacks as an official stat.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: That's how crazy his game was yesterday.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Jake had eight TDs through the first three games
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: of 2007 before he got hurt. So we'll see if Bryce, uh,
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: you know, can he tie that or break that on Sunday?
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Let's go to Lamar. Who's up next. It's a pulse
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: of Panther nation. Get your thoughts in here. What do
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: you think about beating down the Falcon? 7 0 4
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: 5 7 0 9 6 10.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Lamar's in the house. Lamar, how you feeling?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Hey man, I feel good, Mac. Uh, I live in Atlanta,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: so I, I'm sorry. Looking forward, looking forward to sports
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: radio here. It's, it's going to be glorious. Um, We
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: can call Mercedes-Benz Stadium Mercedes-Brice Stadium.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Like, Bryce comes here, and he destroys the Falcons. And, Mac,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: I think the thing that you said earlier, and this
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: is what I'm seeing with Bryce, he has a level
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: of confidence that, like, we didn't see that rookie year. Like,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: we were all kind of like, oh, well, Alabama, he
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: would throw the ball down the field, and then, you know, he–
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: His rookie year, he seemed timid. He kind of blamed
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: it on play calling and all that. Now, even in
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: the first quarter, he was kind of like 50%. I
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: think he was like 7 for 14.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I was like, he's trying.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: He's trying to throw the ball down the field. Now,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: it may take some time. You're not going to get
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: all of your throws, but I like the fact that
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: he's trying it. I feel really confident about Bryce and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: his confidence. and throwing the ball down the field and
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: making big plays.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I love that, man. I appreciate the call. It's good
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: to hear from you. Give him hell down there in Atlanta.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: It's a good day to be a Panther fan in Atlanta.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Kind of like our guy Bone on Vashti's video that
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: works at the stadium. He was having fun yesterday as well. Yeah,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: it was not an accurate start. Now, some of those
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: were throwaways early. Some of those where he was pressured
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: and was trying to complete it but missed them.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: But he missed some throws. He had one sail on
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the sideline. I think it was the TMAC. where T-Mac,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: even big old T-Mac couldn't get it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: He had one, I thought he missed Tremble over the
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: middle of the field one, but Idzik stuck with him.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Even though dudes, even though unks like me were yelling
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: at their TVs, run the football some. Idzik kept riding
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Bryce and throwing it bone. And eventually he got going
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: by the end of that first half, that two minute drill.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: You know, he was dealing that first drive of the
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: third quarter. He was dealing big time. Let's get some
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: more calls in.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: 704-570-9610. All right, let's.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Go to Trader Will, who is up next. Maybe Will
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: doesn't want to trade everybody after yesterday's game.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't be busy right now. What's up, Will? What's happening?
• 26:45
  Speaker 13: No, not yet.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: I don't see anybody worth trading yet. No, my own
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: caution would be that's a horrible NFL team we played yesterday.
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: That's maybe the worst– NFL performance or an offense I've
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: ever seen. And so it's not, you know, we've got
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: the ball in plus territory like five times. We didn't
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: score on every drive. We had 10, whatever false starts.
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: I'm just saying it wouldn't, I'm not, I'm reading more
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: into how well we played against the bears on offense
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: than I am yesterday with the, with the Falcons. But no, I'm, I'm, I'm,
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: here's the deal. If we call Bryce right now, and
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: he says, yeah, I want to sign, then I don't
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: want to sign him. But if I call Bryce right
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: now and I want to sign him, and he says,
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: don't call me until week 17, then I'm down.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: You're like a woman that likes to play hard to get. Will,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: how many years have we been the horrible NFL team?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: That's true. Oh, you got rid of him? He must
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: have hung up on his own.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: He didn't want Bones cross-examination.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: I don't care who we played. We've been on the
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: other side of that too many times. I don't give
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: a damn who the opponent was. We also made them
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: look like that. They didn't turn it over five times
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's got a really good defense.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Um, uh, you know, they, they scored 13 points, gets
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: put for three against us. So I think they were
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: on a mission and I think they took it out
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: on the Falcons. Obviously the Falcons are someone easy to
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: take it out on and we'll see what we can
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: do with Cleveland. Watson, you know, Tampa Bay Watson looked
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: like a functioning NFL quarterback. My hope is the Panthers
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: go in there and make them look like Cooper rush.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: That is my hope. All right, let's bring in Gamecock. Kevin,
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: am I go get yelled at by a second Gamecock
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: fan today? Is that what's getting ready to happen? Kevin,
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: what's going on, man? What's happening?
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I was praying. Praying to the
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: football gods.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: Please shower down on me a Sunday result that erases
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: what happened on Saturday night.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: We up 16 to nothing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: 16 to effing nothing. And instead of kicking field goals,
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: we should be scoring touchdowns. And I'm just going to
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: say this, and I'm going to get it.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Out of the way.
• 29:06
  Speaker 13: Shane Beamer can recruit very well.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, Mac.
• 29:09
  Speaker 13: I'm going in a different direction. Listen, listen.
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: Don't let Mac ruffle your feathers about the Gamecocks because
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: that clown, Mac I'm talking about, never said you could.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Never win at Indiana.
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: So please in the NIL era, stop this crap. Now
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: here's what I'm going to say about Lenora Sellers.
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: I thought he was better than he is. We calling
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: timeouts when Cutter Woods come in the game. Let the
• 29:36
  Speaker 13: man throw that ball a little bit, man. Let's quit
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: playing these games. Y'all sitting here talking about my boys,
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: but we playing these games. If Lenore Sellers, they paid
• 29:45
  Speaker 13: him a whole lot of money, and that's why Cutter.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Woods is not playing.
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: Let's quit playing.
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: It's about money. It's about politics. But we'll leave that alone. Panthers,
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: I told all y'all last week. I told all y'all
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: last week. When that green dot get the defensive boys
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: around him, watch what happened. I told y'all on the
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: call last week.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: You did.
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: Spitty, pull the call. We got a Luke Keekly with
• 30:11
  Speaker 11: the green dot.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing, man.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I love y'all boys.
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: Bone, keep standing up for them Gamecocks. Mack, this is
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: for you. This is the NIL era. Quit saying people
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: can't win in certain places. Didn't them boys just go
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: to Kentucky, go to Texas A & M and beat them?
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: So what are we talking about here?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: I got you.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it. And I was going to get yelled
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: at by a second Gamecock fan.
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: I was.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: He did make that point. He's in a promo for
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: last week. So Gamecock, you got Kevin, you?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you already got you. Yeah, you're in a promo
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: from last week on the station.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: Anyway, as far as the whole Gamecock, they got a
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: decent amount of NIL, too. 30, 32 million. They're not poor,
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: but the problem is the SEC's got more NIL money
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: than most. So they have to deal with teams that
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: have more money than them. That's the problem. And the ACC,
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: they would have the second most money in the ACC.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: The guys they are paying the star level players harbor money.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: And when Norris they're, they're kind of floating along and
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: they're not better than they were when they got the
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: initial money.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't, I'm not saying you're wrong for
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: being disappointed in those guys. Those two interceptions by sellers
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: were terrible. I'm not saying he has regressed or hasn't
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: improved to the point where you would expect him to improve.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: I did tell y'all you were losing, though. I wasn't
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: shocked they lost the game.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: I was mad because I was just trying to vent,
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: and I feel like you were telling me what to
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: not vent about or what to vent about. Just sometimes,
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: just let the fan go, man. Let the fan vent.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: Just let them go. All right, let Kevin go. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: already gave you your props. I said you were right,
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: and I'm still fighting you about it. Just let me
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: be bad on my team, man. Let me vent. Let
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: me get all that angst out of my system.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: I think the thing, too, is I'm trying to say, like,
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: I still think y'all can win seven games this year.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Like, I still think.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: that there's a chance that y'all can win some of
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: these tough games. Whereas a lot of Gamecock fans on
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: the text line are saying, have you seen our schedule, Mac?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: We ain't winning more than four.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: That was a swing game the other day in terms
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: of maybe how good they could be.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: There's other ones. Tennessee's beatable. Kentucky's better, but winnable.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I just kind of want to let it play out, man.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Are you going to pick them on Saturday against Bama?
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking of it. I am thinking of picking them
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: on Saturday against Alabama. If they can turn Keelan Russell over,
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: he can turn it over in bunches.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Had three in about the blink of an eye against Kentucky.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you who I'm not picking.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: When we come back, sounds of the Panthers, including the
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: Dave Canales.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Victory speech on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: All right, we are back, Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Let's

• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Victory Monday.

• 33:10
  Speaker 7: the team. Let's do it, baby.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: No one's singing with me. You were doing so well, man.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I didn't want to interrupt.
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: I was told at a young age I've got an opera.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: tone to my.
• 33:21

• 33:42
  Speaker 6: hear from these fellas right now let's let them speak
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: Let's start with absolutely something that I love on a
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: Victory Monday. I love hearing Dave Canales' victory speeches. The
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Panthers do a great job of sharing these at Panthers.com
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: and on social media. This is Dave Canales with a
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: little victory speech.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: When you play together, when you play together, that's what
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: it can look like. It doesn't ever have to feel
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: any different. It's about the preparation and the work, and
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: it's about you guys believing. The work pays off. The
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: process works. That's proof of it right there. We got
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: some things to celebrate. Since 1982, they started tracking this stuff.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: No linebacker has ever had eight tackles, two interceptions, one
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: for a touchdown, and a sack.
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: Let's hear it for Pete.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: First time in franchise history, 30 plus points in the
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: first two games.
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: Here for the offense. Did we have four turnovers today?
• 34:44
  Speaker 14: Last balling, guys.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: That is balling.
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: That's Panthers football right there. Zig Wheatley, first NFL career,
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: forced fumble.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Here we go.
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: And your quarterback, 23 for 36, 287, 116.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Three touchdowns.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 34:57
  Speaker 14: And Darren Waller had a pair of them today.
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: Let's go.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: All good stuff. We're on this road. How good can
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: we be? We can talk about the stuff we need
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: to fix tomorrow, guys. There's some obvious things for sure,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: but we celebrate this. It's too damn hard.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: We work all week.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: We put it together.
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: We execute it.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Beautiful job. Hey, hey, embrace what this feels like.
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: We know what we're capable of.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Enjoy this tonight.
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: Be ready to refocus.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: It doesn't stop after this week.
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: Let's keep going.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Family on three.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: One, two, three.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, baby.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: That is such Panther glee. I can't get enough, Boat,
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: of those speeches. And Canales is so happy, and everybody
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: yells in the background. It feels a little bit like
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: a youth Little League team, Boat, celebrating Johnny at two doubles.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: All right, everybody, we're going to get some ice cream now.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Who wants the salsa? Who wants ice cream? Or do
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: you want Italian ice?
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah!
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Like, it has that energy, but that's who Dave Kanellis is.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: That's him. You know what I mean? That is him,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and that's fun, man.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: That was a long speech because there was a lot
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: of accolades.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: That took forever, didn't it? It did take forever.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Normally it goes, hey, guys, we'll see you for practice tomorrow.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: This one was like eight minutes long. This is a
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: good one. This was a good one, man.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: Mack, I left the Bryce in there because I thought
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: it was very– To me, it was very important. Who
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: broke down the huddles last year in victory speeches?
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Feels like it was DB usually. It was Derrick Brown.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: I think yesterday, after a win, after that performance, year four,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: this is B-Y-9's football.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Hey, I don't care which one does it, but yeah,
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: it is cool. It is cool that Bryce is now
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: on that level.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Someone asked, why is someone's son breaking the team down?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. Come on, baby. It's a victory Monday.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: How dare you, sir? That was no one's son. That
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: was the Falcons' daddy.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Oh!
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Ha ha ha!
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Well played. Let's get this one in here. Let's move
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: through these quick here. Dave Canales, XL's 55-yard catch changed
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: the game. It was right after Atlanta scored and cut
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: it to 10.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Xavier, XL, what a big play to me. That was
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: the tipping point. That was the shift in the momentum
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: that we needed. We needed a big play to be
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: able to capture the game and take care of it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Of course, Bryce finished it off with a nice throw
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: to Darren there, but So, you know, credit to those guys,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: credit to Brad, finding an opportunity to be able to
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: get the right coverage we wanted and be aggressive. Xavier
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: had the best week he's had of practice, you know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: since I've been around. And Wednesday, I mean, I think
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: he hit, you know, three different balls down the field.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Bryce threw to him that were 40-plus yards, him running
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: underneath at full speed. And it looked just like that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: So something really cool for X to be able to
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: build off of.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: There you go, man.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: It doesn't have to be much from XL, Bone. We
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: talked about this, like dropping the first round expectations. We
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: got T-Mac and Coker to run this receiving core, but
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: can you make a couple of plays a game?
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: No, because for T-Mac and Coker, it's about the full
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: stat sheet. It's about number of catches, yards, probably a
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: lot of touchdowns. XL is at a different level right
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: now with his progression. his career where just one or
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: two plays, one play like that may make his day.
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: Like he doesn't have to have the totality of stats
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: that the other guys have. So anything he adds to
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: you right now in that receiving room is beneficial.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, big time.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Because then you throw in his play. Especially if it's
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: a 55-yarder.
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: You throw in his contributions, Waller's contributions. We know that
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: either TMAC or Coker or both, whatever, are most likely
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: going to have a day. But if they can add
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: another guy with that, man, that's when this offense really
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: starts becoming a humdinger. Joe and Raleigh says that was
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: the Reaper talking after Canalys' pep talk.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Damn straight.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: And he has, I mean, the Reaper has shown up
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: over and over again for the Portland Falcons.
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: Someone said next week, Bryce Young's agent's going to break
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: the team down. My client can't do this right now.
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: 60 million per on three.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: Let's get to another one from Canalis before we get
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: to a clip I love.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Shameless.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Bobby Okereke talking about a very shameless moment from him
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: in the game yesterday. But let's first hear from Canales,
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: because I'm sure a lot of you were wondering, where
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: did that Coker on punt return thing come from? We
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: had no idea. We thought it was going to be Mechie.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: Coker ran two back for 49 yards total. It was
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: a hell of a punt return debut. And Canales was asked,
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: kind of, why did you decide on that?
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Just during the week. And, you know, we were kind
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: of just auditioning them. And TMAC even said, hey, I'll
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: go back there and catch him. And he actually looked
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: pretty good doing it, you know. But it's good to
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: have options. It's good to have guys that first things
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: first is let's catch that ball and take care of
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: all that hidden yardage. And then whatever they do with
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: it afterwards is a bonus and is able to flip
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: the field.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: So there you go. I didn't see it coming, Bone,
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: but I like it. The only question is, you brought
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: it up. Do we want him to keep doing it?
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Or is it a specialized thing where... If you need him,
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: use him, but don't overdo it because I don't love
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: it when it's a main wide out either doing the return.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Or a running back, whatever.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: It makes me a little bit nervous, but if you
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: need him like Smitty used to do as he went along,
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: when you need him to be a safe guy to
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: catch it or make a play, then do it.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: But is he going to be the consistent punt returner?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. It sounds like yesterday.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: It looks like yesterday he's our punt returner, but do
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: you want to do that with such a significant– you know,
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: contributor on offense. It also sounds like Canales basically just
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: wanted him back there because he sure handed and was
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: kind of like, if you have something, go. If not,
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: don't be afraid to fair catch it. All right, real quick,
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: let's get to this Bobby O'Kara key because this cracked
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: me up when it happened. This was shameless. Bobby O,
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: you balled out yesterday yourself, son. You had nine tackles.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: You had one interception. How much better are we at
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: middle linebacker with those two dudes, Boney? But when he
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: tried to sell the second interception and knew damn well
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: he did not catch it, but tried to run downfield
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: and then tell all his teammates to join him, that
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: felt a little shameless. And he was asked about that
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: by Sheena and Vashti afterwards.
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: Bobby, I thought for a second you had your second interception.
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: You kind of sold me.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I did too. I did too.
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: Who knew you didn't catch that ball?
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I had some fingertips.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: I had some fingertips on it.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: That was Oscar worthy.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: You know, you got to do what you got to do.
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: Y'all even went down and celebrated in the end zone.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: For sure. Well, they said it was a pick. So,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm playing the game.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: It was a hell of an effort. Then he watched
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: the replay, and you're like, yeah, not even close. Here's
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: the thing.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: In the replay era, why is it even worth doing
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: that whole sales shot thing? In the non-replay era, play
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: it out, right?
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Go with it.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: But in the replay era, they're going to find out
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: you're full of crap, and you just exhausted yourself and
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: your teammates by running downfield.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Although it was a third down, so it didn't matter.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I guess it did matter, Bo.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone Show,
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: Bryce Young is balling. How good has he been through
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: two weeks? And is he increasing your faith in him?
• 42:06
