Transcript
- 0:13Speaker 1: I would love for someone in the league office to
- 0:16Speaker 1: look me in the eye and tell me if Western
- 0:20Speaker 1: Michigan was at midfield heaving a prayer up and that
- 0:25Speaker 1: exact same set of circumstances were to have played out,
- 0:29Speaker 1: that this is the way it would have gone down.
- 0:31Speaker 2: I have been on the phone for a long time.
- 0:33Speaker 1: With several officials and several referees this morning who wanted
- 0:38Speaker 1: to make sure that they articulated how much of a
- 0:41Speaker 1: CYA move this is, how big of a pile of
- 0:44Speaker 1: garbage that is from the Big Ten league office, and
- 0:48Speaker 1: how egregious, like beyond the pale, horrifically bad, the machinations
- 0:54Speaker 1: of the way that was handled last night were.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you. That
- 1:02Speaker 3: is Josh Pate. And you heard it for yourself right there.
- 1:06Speaker 3: He has talked to referees, officials, who are calling BS, Bone,
- 1:12Speaker 3: on the Big Ten's explanation for what happened. See, what
- 1:16Speaker 3: has happened was they're calling BS on it to him.
- 1:21Speaker 3: And I'm glad to hear that. I believe Western Michigan
- 1:23Speaker 3: got screwed.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I don't.
- 1:26Speaker 3: I heard the Big Ten's explanation. They contradicted themselves in
- 1:31Speaker 3: the explanation. In the explanation, they talked about how 85
- 1:35Speaker 3: minutes for each game, all the clocks are synced up.
- 1:38Speaker 3: and that includes their official clock for replay purposes, the
- 1:42Speaker 3: game clocks in the stadium, and the clock for the
- 1:46Speaker 3: broadcast on NBC. Terry McCauleybone, that sounded as confused as anybody,
- 1:52Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be in charge of these sort
- 1:54Speaker 3: of things. Listen to him on Saturday night after the
- 1:58Speaker 3: Hail Mary on the second attempt, by the way, as
- 2:01Speaker 3: they got a second put back on to beat Western Michigan.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Listen to Terry McCauley.
- 2:06Speaker 3: He's incredulous because he believed that NBC's clock that we
- 2:11Speaker 3: were seeing on TV is synced up with the actual
- 2:13Speaker 3: replay clock.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Producer and he tells us that our inset clock is
- 2:18Speaker 4: in sync is is the actual stadium clock the ball
- 2:22Speaker 4: isn't even close to touching a player when it goes
- 2:25Speaker 4: to zero now their system their hawkeye system apparently either
- 2:30Speaker 4: was had a different sync a different sync or whatever
- 2:34Speaker 4: And they came up with one second when it touched
- 2:36Speaker 4: the players.
- 2:38Speaker 5: I don't see how that happened, assuming.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Our clock is correct. It is clearly not touching the player.
- 2:44Speaker 4: The ball is clearly still in the air when the
- 2:48Speaker 4: clock goes to zero on our screen. So, you know,
- 2:52Speaker 4: the Big Ten is going to have to tell a
- 2:54Speaker 4: lot of us how did they get to one second
- 2:57Speaker 4: on this play.
- 2:59Speaker 6: I'm just glad it wasn't Romo and Gene Mack on
- 3:01Speaker 6: this call there instead of McCauley.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Oh, Gene! Gene, I don't know what's going on, Gene!
- 3:08Speaker 3: Romo, yeah, Romo would have probably hit the golf course.
- 3:11Speaker 3: I'll attempt to do. After that game, for a few beverages.
- 3:16Speaker 6: It feels like, Mack, it's a very complicated thing to
- 3:20Speaker 6: try to explain and watch, and it felt like Western
- 3:23Speaker 6: Michigan got screwed here. The ball, like Terry McCauley said,
- 3:27Speaker 6: was in the air with the zeros. It felt like
- 3:31Speaker 6: Western Michigan deserves to be upset by what occurred in
- 3:34Speaker 6: this game. Here's my thing, though. And the SEC would
- 3:38Speaker 6: never do this. They would be on the up-and-up.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Everything would be on the up-and-up. They never would do
- 3:41Speaker 3: something to benefit their conference. By the way, Stuart Mandell
- 3:44Speaker 3: brought up a great point. Is it not possible to
- 3:46Speaker 3: get other conferences' referees that aren't involved in the game
- 3:49Speaker 3: to referee the non-conference games?
- 3:51Speaker 1: No.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I thought they did that.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Is that not something that they can do? Why are
- 3:54Speaker 3: Big Ten officials involved?
- 3:55Speaker 6: I thought different referees did the– I thought it was
- 3:58Speaker 6: always different.
- 3:59Speaker 2: What is that? So that's one right there.
- 4:01Speaker 3: In the year of our Lord, 2026, why can they
- 4:04Speaker 3: not execute the sync up? And with all the technology
- 4:09Speaker 3: we have now, you're telling me the sync up didn't work?
- 4:13Speaker 2: Well, that's a freaking problem.
- 4:14Speaker 3: So you– That's a major problem because the game clock
- 4:20Speaker 3: is the one teams are using. Jake Crane brought this
- 4:22Speaker 3: up last hour. You mean to tell me teams aren't
- 4:24Speaker 3: even seeing the real clock? The real clock is some
- 4:26Speaker 3: secret thing bone that they're only seeing behind the scenes. Like, and,
- 4:31Speaker 3: and that's awful convenient too.
- 4:33Speaker 2: That's the thing, too. Like whether whether their story is
- 4:36Speaker 2: true or not.
- 4:37Speaker 3: And you heard Josh Pate say he's got a lot
- 4:39Speaker 3: of official type buddies that say that explanation is flimsy.
- 4:44Speaker 3: But whether you believe it or not, Bone, like that's
- 4:47Speaker 3: a severe problem. The competitors themselves don't exactly know how
- 4:51Speaker 3: much time's left.
- 4:52Speaker 2: It could be off.
- 4:53Speaker 3: And then what they show you, Bone, they didn't show
- 4:56Speaker 3: the video of the whole place side by side and
- 4:59Speaker 3: the clock counting down from nine. All they did is
- 5:03Speaker 3: showed you the ball being touched by this Western Michigan
- 5:06Speaker 3: defender on the Hail Mary, the first Hail Mary attempt
- 5:09Speaker 3: after he had jumped from the ground, which is true.
- 5:12Speaker 3: But they showed that clock just say one second on.
- 5:15Speaker 3: How about a countdown? How about showing us that clock
- 5:17Speaker 3: that you say is the official replay clock? How about
- 5:20Speaker 3: showing us that alongside the video counting down, not just sitting.
- 5:24Speaker 5: There at one.
- 5:26Speaker 3: So I still got a lot of questions about this garbage.
- 5:28Speaker 3: I feel horrible for Western Michigan, man.
- 5:31Speaker 6: There's a friend of a guy, we have a texter
- 5:33Speaker 6: who's a friend of a guy that apparently is part
- 5:37Speaker 6: of a crew for one of the TV stations where
- 5:40Speaker 6: he runs the cable. So he's saying that... He thinks
- 5:45Speaker 6: it's the fault of the replay guys there. He's got
- 5:48Speaker 6: a whole thing here on this text message that I'm
- 5:49Speaker 6: trying to read.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 5:51Speaker 6: They've got guys that are connected with cable runners. That's
- 5:53Speaker 6: what this show provides you.
- 5:54Speaker 3: This dude says, Lane Kiffin is the happiest man in America.
- 5:59Speaker 3: They beat the breaks off Clemson, and the Big Ten
- 6:01Speaker 3: is now the villains in college football for the time.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Don't worry. Lane Kiffin will work on that, Bo. He'll
- 6:07Speaker 2: say something.
- 6:07Speaker 3: You know he can't let– I think it's actually bad
- 6:10Speaker 3: news if Lane isn't public enemy number one in college
- 6:12Speaker 3: football in America.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:14Speaker 2: That means something horrible will happen somewhere else. I mean,
- 6:16Speaker 2: I think right now he's wondering, what can I do?
- 6:18Speaker 3: You mean my comment to Holly Rowe at the end
- 6:21Speaker 3: of the halftime interview about paying players?
- 6:24Speaker 2: That's how Dabo, Matt, should start. That wasn't enough.
- 6:26Speaker 6: That's how Dabo should start his presser this week. Well, dadgum,
- 6:28Speaker 6: I know we're upset here, but it could be worse.
- 6:30Speaker 6: We could be Western Michigan right now, dadgum.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Dabo would love, you know how badly he would love
- 6:35Speaker 3: to be in a game that was decided on the
- 6:37Speaker 3: final play, Boney?
- 6:38Speaker 2: Who are you kidding me?
- 6:40Speaker 3: He would love to be able to say damn, damn, dang.
- 6:42Speaker 3: He wouldn't say damn. Those dang SEC refs got us.
- 6:45Speaker 3: He would love it. So anyway, I hate it. This
- 6:49Speaker 3: dude says, why is this not ending up in a
- 6:51Speaker 3: Michigan courtroom? Everything else does. First of all, the Michigan
- 6:57Speaker 3: courtrooms would probably favor Michigan.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Right?
- 7:00Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 3: You think the judge is just going to happen to me?
- 7:02Speaker 3: You think you're going to go to a Western Michigan judge?
- 7:04Speaker 3: Unless you get like a one in a hundred chance
- 7:06Speaker 3: to get a Spartan judge.
- 7:06Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Oh, did you see what happened in the Michigan State
- 7:11Speaker 3: game this weekend?
- 7:13Speaker 2: I was watching a little bit of that. I forget.
- 7:15Speaker 2: They're playing Toledo, right?
- 7:16Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I forget which team it was, but one of the
- 7:20Speaker 3: offensive tackles for one of the team on a play
- 7:23Speaker 3: in the red zone dropped back to pass protect and
- 7:26Speaker 3: puked on two D linemen in the middle of the play.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Trevor Maddich said that's a maneuver all offensive linemen should master.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Then 24 hours later, all of Clemson puked on the field.
- 7:44Speaker 3: At least they did it as a team. They did
- 7:46Speaker 3: it as a team. Bring your own guts and let
- 7:48Speaker 3: them all out. App State tick says Western Michigan 100%
- 7:54Speaker 3: got screwed, resulting in me placing a waiver with DraftKings,
- 7:57Speaker 3: picking Oklahoma to beat Michigan, who are getting 4.5.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Points as of yesterday.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that looks like a good bet, although
- 8:06Speaker 3: you never know in this kooky sport.
- 8:08Speaker 6: Also, I haven't looked at it yet, but I would
- 8:11Speaker 6: guess that the under will be heavily in play in
- 8:13Speaker 6: that game also.
- 8:14Speaker 3: I mean, Underwood doesn't look improved. I know it was
- 8:16Speaker 3: only one game, but my God, he had a brutal performance.
- 8:20Speaker 3: He really did. Hell, he even needed a second chance
- 8:22Speaker 3: to throw the damn Hail Mary on the field.
- 8:24Speaker 6: Someone brought up a good point, Mac. Now, you know,
- 8:27Speaker 6: the fact that Michigan needed that to be Western Michigan
- 8:30Speaker 6: may make this a point that doesn't matter, but how
- 8:33Speaker 6: would the... If Michigan was in play for a playoff
- 8:37Speaker 6: spot later on this year, how would the committee look
- 8:40Speaker 6: at a result like that?
- 8:40Speaker 2: That's a good question.
- 8:41Speaker 6: I don't know if they will be or not based
- 8:43Speaker 6: off of how they played, but if they were in
- 8:45Speaker 6: the running for a playoff spot comparing resumes and this
- 8:47Speaker 6: and that, would they look at it as.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Is it a knock against them? It's a win, but
- 8:54Speaker 3: will the committee say, yeah, but look how they got it? Yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 3: even if they did win the game, I feel like
- 8:59Speaker 3: that performance has to.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see what they do the rest of
- 9:02Speaker 2: the way, right? We'll see.
- 9:04Speaker 3: I personally think that Underwood might not be that dude.
- 9:08Speaker 3: And I think that this offense may struggle a long
- 9:12Speaker 3: time this year, but we'll see.
- 9:14Speaker 2: We'll see.
- 9:14Speaker 3: They're going to have to prove they're a better team
- 9:16Speaker 3: than that. And what better way to do it than
- 9:18Speaker 3: go against one of the best defenses in the country, Oklahoma?
- 9:21Speaker 6: Matt, we have a Michigan fan named Hot Dog Condiment.
- 9:24Speaker 6: You ready for this story? Oh, I didn't know he
- 9:25Speaker 6: was a Michigan fan. Well, he's an Alliance fan, and
- 9:27Speaker 6: he's from there. I saw the first Hail Mary and
- 9:31Speaker 6: shut off the TV and went to bed. I woke up,
- 9:34Speaker 6: saw my phone, and we won the game, and I
- 9:37Speaker 6: didn't know what happened.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Oh, that's hilarious. That is hilarious. 704 number says, don't worry, y'all.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Lane is still the number one villain in college football.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Did you hear his comments to ESPN.com about their scout
- 9:53Speaker 3: team compared to Clemson?
- 9:55Speaker 2: He, yes. He, again... He's just an obnoxious... jack.
- 10:01Speaker 3: He just is. And I think he wants to be,
- 10:03Speaker 3: and I think he likes being so. But yeah, it
- 10:06Speaker 3: wasn't only the comment he made to Holly Rowe at halftime, when,
- 10:09Speaker 3: by the way, Boney, he acted like he was so disappointed.
- 10:12Speaker 3: in the game, being up 31-3. Yeah, we should be
- 10:15Speaker 3: up by more. Should be 38-0. We had the interception there.
- 10:18Speaker 3: I'm not happy about it. And then, you know, as
- 10:21Speaker 3: he's walking away from Holly Roe, imagine if we had
- 10:22Speaker 3: pro players playing. Like, he just loves being— some people love
- 10:26Speaker 3: being a jerk. And that dude just loves being a jerk.
- 10:29Speaker 3: He apparently told David Hale— there' s no audio of this— but
- 10:33Speaker 3: apparently told David Hale that, yeah, I was a little surprised.
- 10:37Speaker 3: I thought we'd beat them like 35-7 or 37-10, something
- 10:41Speaker 3: like that. He goes, they were so dysfunctional on offense.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that.
- 10:47Speaker 3: He said, our scout team offense actually scored more points
- 10:51Speaker 3: against our first team defense than Clemson did. And it's like,
- 10:54Speaker 3: what kind of coach says that stuff to a media member?
- 10:57Speaker 6: Mac, I know that you've had some problems with Pete
- 11:00Speaker 6: Golding because of the Farrelly situation, but please tell me
- 11:04Speaker 6: you're rooting for Ole Miss in a couple weeks. Please
- 11:06Speaker 6: tell me you let bygones be bygones.
- 11:08Speaker 3: I think I am, but don't let the world treat
- 11:10Speaker 3: Pete Golding like he's some sort of angel, by the way.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Just literally just pulled a Clemson linebacker out of damn practice.
- 11:16Speaker 3: And by the way, I feel like Clemson could have
- 11:19Speaker 3: used Farrelly.
- 11:19Speaker 2: They might have used a linebacker. My God, they need D.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Lyman.
- 11:23Speaker 2: They need O.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Lyman.
- 11:25Speaker 2: They need a running game. Again, which I think you
- 11:28Speaker 2: need O.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Lyman to do. So I'm kind of including that right there.
- 11:32Speaker 3: The Chris Johnson Jr. kid got completely shut down. Again,
- 11:38Speaker 3: I still feel like, Bone, you were watching a ridiculously
- 11:41Speaker 3: talented team in LSU completely ready to go off. I
- 11:49Speaker 3: just think the entire state wanted a piece of somebody,
- 11:52Speaker 3: and Clemson was that somebody. And I think Lane had
- 11:55Speaker 3: that team so ready to go. I still could see
- 11:59Speaker 3: Clemson win eight games. But again, I'm not sure eight games,
- 12:02Speaker 3: when you get embarrassed against SEC teams in the opener
- 12:05Speaker 3: and can't score points on them every year, I'm not sure, Bone,
- 12:08Speaker 3: that should be good enough for Clemson fans, though. I'm
- 12:11Speaker 3: just saying, I think LSU, I think that was something
- 12:14Speaker 3: special coming at them.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Can I tell you what Lane did, though, Mac, for
- 12:19Speaker 6: the first time in more than a decade? He has
- 12:22Speaker 6: completely shut up Clemson fans. Because even in the last
- 12:25Speaker 6: couple of years, they still were yapping. I'm telling you
- 12:28Speaker 6: right now, Mac, they have completely... Doc, who's a loudmouth
- 12:32Speaker 6: Clemson fan, is talking about what he grilled this weekend
- 12:36Speaker 6: for dinner.
- 12:36Speaker 2: He tried to talk about anything but his Tigers.
- 12:38Speaker 6: I mean, these mouthy Clemson fans who were very focused
- 12:41Speaker 6: on the Gamecocks this year and what I was predicting
- 12:44Speaker 6: for them and how they own the rivalry and all that, whatever.
- 12:48Speaker 6: Now they finally realize, oh... we may want to focus
- 12:52Speaker 6: on our own season and where we're at right now.
- 12:54Speaker 8: Seriously.
- 12:55Speaker 2: They have been humbled beyond belief right now.
- 12:56Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, Fitty said it. Like, right now, if
- 12:59Speaker 3: you just look at that sample, slightly different opponents. Penn
- 13:01Speaker 3: State at home and LSU on the road in that
- 13:03Speaker 3: freaking environment.
- 13:05Speaker 2: But I think you've got to take pause.
- 13:09Speaker 3: If you thought Clemson was going to beat South Carolina,
- 13:11Speaker 3: I think you need to see a lot more than
- 13:13Speaker 3: what you saw on Saturday. There are a couple Clemson
- 13:15Speaker 3: fans checking in here, Boney. All In since 79 said
- 13:19Speaker 3: that was JV against Varsity. Buffay Enforcer is a Clemson fan. says,
- 13:24Speaker 3: I hope everyone else has fun and no one gets
- 13:27Speaker 3: injured this year. Is this what purgatory is like? Brian says,
- 13:33Speaker 3: the fact that Mac thinks this Clemson team is winning
- 13:35Speaker 3: eight games is the latest reason that he is a moron.
- 13:39Speaker 7: It's more of your belief or non-belief that the ACC
- 13:42Speaker 7: is going to be a really good deep conference.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I just think their schedule is.
- 13:48Speaker 3: I just don't think it's the toughest schedule in the world,
- 13:51Speaker 3: even within the ACC.
- 13:52Speaker 5: They could be an eight-win team in the ACC, but.
- 13:58Speaker 7: If they played an SEC or even a Big Ten schedule,
- 14:02Speaker 7: maybe a six-win football team. If that's the best representation
- 14:07Speaker 7: of who they're going to be, at some point we've
- 14:10Speaker 7: got to talk about their defensive coordinator. I mean, what
- 14:13Speaker 7: a bust of a hire that's been so far. I
- 14:15Speaker 7: was really disappointed in Chad Morris' game plan to start
- 14:20Speaker 7: the game, and the lack of it. It felt like
- 14:22Speaker 7: adjustments that they did not make during the game.
- 14:24Speaker 3: I just wonder what, and you're right, they got completely
- 14:27Speaker 3: outcoached by Lane Kiffin. I heard KB and Smoke talking about, man,
- 14:30Speaker 3: who's got the coaching advantage in this game? And, you know,
- 14:35Speaker 3: I'm thinking, they're talking through it, and they're like, maybe
- 14:38Speaker 3: Dabo's got it with the experience. How badly did LSU, out-coach.
- 14:44Speaker 3: They had their team prepared, ready to go. Clemson- Gabbo
- 14:48Speaker 3: never has them ready for a week one either. Fit
- 14:49Speaker 3: time in six years. They lose the opener and don't
- 14:52Speaker 3: score more than 10 points. They're never ready. By the
- 14:55Speaker 3: same token, though, Fitty, holy crap, LSU whipped them in
- 14:59Speaker 3: the trenches on both sides of the ball.
- 15:01Speaker 7: If that's who LSU is going to be, Mac, for
- 15:03Speaker 7: 12 games, that's a playoff team.
- 15:07Speaker 5: That might be the best team in the SEC.
- 15:10Speaker 3: It's very possible. It's very possible. I will say this.
- 15:14Speaker 3: I said it when the show began.
- 15:15Speaker 6: Three years ago today, Labor Day night, when Duke blew
- 15:21Speaker 6: out Clemson, they have not been the same since then.
- 15:24Speaker 6: You think you broke Dabo? Duke broke Dabo and snatched
- 15:27Speaker 6: their soul. They have not been the same. They made
- 15:29Speaker 6: a playoff.
- 15:30Speaker 2: I get it. But they have not been the same
- 15:31Speaker 2: program since it went into Wallace Wade. and got their
- 15:34Speaker 2: ass beat.
- 15:35Speaker 3: I would argue the NIL space has ruined Clemson. The
- 15:40Speaker 3: game changed into something he didn't adjust into. I think
- 15:42Speaker 3: the DUKE.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Experience got them, not just the NIL. Got their ASS whooped.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Can I have a moment, please?
- 15:52Speaker 9: 5709610.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I know you want to gloat. I know you want
- 15:54Speaker 2: to take credit for that.
- 15:55Speaker 6: The fact that Duke may have ended Dabo at the
- 15:57Speaker 6: start of it is just the funniest thing.
- 15:59Speaker 2: You don't want me to take that from you. Please don't.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Bone Shrine Guy says, I was a big Dabo defender
- 16:03Speaker 3: until the Chad Morris hire. Dabo better resign at the
- 16:07Speaker 3: end of the season. Otherwise, the past five seasons have
- 16:09Speaker 3: been nothing but mouth service. Tommy says, if Dabo flaps
- 16:14Speaker 3: his gums this week about all he accomplished in the past...
- 16:18Speaker 3: um i'm going to lose it so now but when
- 16:20Speaker 3: you ask for the clemson fans they all over dabbo
- 16:22Speaker 3: now i don't blame you.
- 16:24Speaker 6: I was gonna say check out my linkedin page i've
- 16:26Speaker 6: done a lot of great stuff he's gonna start doing
- 16:27Speaker 6: his resume again.
- 16:29Speaker 2: That's the thing.
- 16:31Speaker 3: No one wants to hear that crap anymore man it
- 16:33Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything in the present how about this.
- 16:36Speaker 6: Mac dabbo charlotte collision course Tabo coaches at Charlotte 49ers.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were going to say he schedules Charlotte.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Because we did have a text and it said if
- 16:47Speaker 3: Tabo wants to win an opener for the first time
- 16:49Speaker 3: in five years, schedule Charlotte.
- 16:51Speaker 7: It's a really good thing they canceled phone calls on
- 16:53Speaker 7: his coach's show.
- 16:54Speaker 5: Because could you imagine if Tyler from Spartanburg.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Tyler rejuvenated the program a couple years ago.
- 17:00Speaker 3: I know.
- 17:01Speaker 5: He may need to bring them back to motivate his team.
- 17:03Speaker 3: I think you ought to let Tyler co-host this week, man.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Try to spark something. Seriously. What did you think, Bone...
- 17:11Speaker 3: What was my last question? What was my last at
- 17:13Speaker 3: a college football? Okay, who else? So who else, Bone,
- 17:16Speaker 3: stood out to you this weekend, either local or non-local,
- 17:20Speaker 3: like good or bad? Who are a couple other teams
- 17:23Speaker 3: we have not maybe mentioned a lot lately in the show?
- 17:26Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 17:26Speaker 6: Have we mentioned South Carolina a lot lately in the show?
- 17:29Speaker 2: Not really. I mean, they've gotten some love.
- 17:30Speaker 6: I mean, I know that it was Kent State, so
- 17:33Speaker 6: I'm not going to go too crazy, but they've had
- 17:34Speaker 6: performances before, a couple of them early, that were not good.
- 17:38Speaker 6: So it was actually nice to see them just blow
- 17:41Speaker 6: a team out and not drag it into the fourth quarter.
- 17:44Speaker 6: Sellers looked good outside of a couple throws.
- 17:46Speaker 2: He looked good.
- 17:46Speaker 6: They got Harper involved. The run game was going, and
- 17:49Speaker 6: two of their best players, Peek and Dylan Stewart. Dylan
- 17:52Speaker 6: Stewart may be their best player, obviously. All-American, he's not
- 17:56Speaker 6: in there yet. So good start for the Gamecocks. They
- 17:59Speaker 6: did what they had to do and took care of business.
- 18:02Speaker 6: Years past, they get a little stressful sometimes in those
- 18:05Speaker 6: type of games.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very encouraged by what they did. I'll just
- 18:09Speaker 2: put it this way, Bone.
- 18:10Speaker 3: I do not think, as a Towson Tiger alum, I
- 18:13Speaker 3: will be talking much pregame trash to you this week
- 18:16Speaker 3: about the Gamecocks-Towson matchup.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Those aren't your favorite Tigers?
- 18:19Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to look like the LSU
- 18:21Speaker 3: Tigers on Saturday night. I think Louisville's got to get
- 18:25Speaker 3: a shout-out. Navy just beat Towson by 27. Yeah, I mean,
- 18:29Speaker 3: that's the thing. Y'all won 57-0, and you play your
- 18:32Speaker 3: easier opponent of the first two this week. That was
- 18:36Speaker 3: a Mac school you beat up on. You're going to
- 18:38Speaker 3: be now dropping down to Mac school, literally.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Mac school. See what I did there? Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I can tell you're amused. Are you looking for more
- 18:46Speaker 2: Clemson fans that are angry?
- 18:48Speaker 8: No, no.
- 18:48Speaker 6: I was going to point out that Miami and Mensah
- 18:50Speaker 6: need some recognition as well. Not just because they won
- 18:56Speaker 6: Mensah at Miami with Tony. Yeah, good luck stopping that.
- 18:59Speaker 6: That is filthy, man. That was absurd on Friday night.
- 19:02Speaker 6: And how about the fact that you have Malachi Toney
- 19:05Speaker 6: three minutes into the first game doing the Heisman pose,
- 19:08Speaker 6: and then he goes and puts up 12 for 234.
- 19:11Speaker 6: Jeremiah Smith has a game the next day. He does
- 19:14Speaker 6: the Heisman pose.
- 19:15Speaker 3: And, oh, by the way, Darian Mensah is probably sitting
- 19:18Speaker 3: back saying, it's mine, y'all.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Have fun. Have fun between the two of you.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Because he jumped from 11-1, 11-1, 11-1, whatever the hell
- 19:28Speaker 3: I'm trying to say, to 5.5-1. He's now the favorite
- 19:31Speaker 3: to win the Heisman. I was going to say Mississippi bone.
- 19:34Speaker 3: It wasn't the greatest weekend for the ACC. Cal was
- 19:39Speaker 3: in a game and blew it and got blown out
- 19:41Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter against UCLA. You obviously had the
- 19:45Speaker 3: Clemson game, but I thought Louisville acquitted themselves really well.
- 19:49Speaker 3: to the point where yeah i thought they were the
- 19:52Speaker 3: second best team in the acc coming in i see
- 19:54Speaker 3: no reason to change it we'll see what smu does
- 19:57Speaker 3: this week and complainer in chief is back again bone
- 20:01Speaker 3: with a contrarian point of view says Louisville will not
- 20:05Speaker 3: face many cupcake defenses like they faced last night. It's
- 20:09Speaker 3: an SEC team that was in the final four of
- 20:11Speaker 3: the college football playoff last year.
- 20:13Speaker 2: They were a top 30 defense last year. I don't know. Yeah,
- 20:15Speaker 2: because the ACC is going to have better defenses than
- 20:18Speaker 2: Ole Miss.
- 20:18Speaker 3: On Louisville's schedule? Are you kidding me? Where they don't
- 20:21Speaker 3: play Miami? They don't play Virginia? They only play SMU
- 20:27Speaker 3: out of those top few teams.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Who are the great defenses they're facing in the ACC?
- 20:30Speaker 2: Complainer in North Carolina.
- 20:31Speaker 9: Crazy.
- 20:32Speaker 6: Complainer in Chief moved to Tennessee a couple years ago,
- 20:35Speaker 6: but I believe his brain cells.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Got lost in the move.
- 20:38Speaker 3: This dude says, guys, I don't know how much you
- 20:41Speaker 3: talked about him, but I feel like my Charlotte 49ers
- 20:43Speaker 3: were kind of notable on Saturday.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Almost got his dub.
- 20:48Speaker 6: I am highly concerned that they may it's mac it's
- 20:52Speaker 6: hard to go backwards from one win there's only one
- 20:55Speaker 6: way to go that's backwards and that's no wins they're
- 20:59Speaker 6: favored in no other games this year i i don't.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Know like you're saying that that's true or you're just guessing.
- 21:05Speaker 6: I'm just eyeballing i don't know what game they'd be
- 21:07Speaker 6: favored in so wow We thought maybe they could get
- 21:11Speaker 6: to like four, maybe a little progression. I don't know
- 21:14Speaker 6: how they're getting– there's no way they're getting to four
- 21:15Speaker 6: or five wins.
- 21:16Speaker 9: On this thing.
- 21:17Speaker 2: I don't know how they're doing that. Definitely not.
- 21:18Speaker 6: And by the way– Because they played the Tulanes and
- 21:20Speaker 6: the UABs, and those teams are– acquitted themselves pretty well
- 21:24Speaker 6: this week.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Dude, you played an FCS opponent that Wofford beat last
- 21:28Speaker 3: week by four tutties, or you lost to him. You
- 21:31Speaker 3: were a 20-point favorite. And I know people are texting
- 21:34Speaker 3: and slandering Gonzalez. The problem with Gonzalez is like– They
- 21:39Speaker 3: didn't make many mistakes, Citadel. And Gonzalez did some amazing stuff, Bone.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Five total touchdowns. But he missed the open guy on
- 21:48Speaker 3: the two-point. He had two turnovers in the game. Citadel
- 21:51Speaker 3: didn't turn it over at all. They let a guy
- 21:53Speaker 3: run 100 yards for 20 yards. That's the biggest problem
- 21:55Speaker 3: is their defense. That was a hideous defense performance. We
- 21:59Speaker 3: got a text from 704 number. I'm a Charlotte alum,
- 22:03Speaker 3: and I've been hearing so much about our increased NIL money.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Did we not spend a cent of it on defense?
- 22:09Speaker 3: That defense was bad, Bone. And to your point, the
- 22:12Speaker 3: only game they won last year was the FCS game, right?
- 22:16Speaker 2: Was it the first game? Like the second game of
- 22:18Speaker 2: the year against Monmouth? The second game, yeah.
- 22:20Speaker 3: And they had to sweat that one out. We were like,
- 22:22Speaker 3: how'd they give up 35 points to an FCS school?
- 22:25Speaker 3: Fast forward this year, they.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Gave up 43 to an FCS school. Let's all relax.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Maybe they get back on track week two. Matt, who
- 22:31Speaker 2: are they playing? Ole Miss.
- 22:33Speaker 3: Hey, complainer chief said they're going against a cake defense.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Everything should be okay for Cole Gonzalez. Al was going
- 22:39Speaker 3: to tell his team, hey, we got a cake defense
- 22:40Speaker 3: here we're playing against. When we come back, Tim Murray
- 22:44Speaker 3: of VEASAN does a great job with the college football
- 22:47Speaker 3: podcast and all the VEASAN content. We will recap week one, look.
- 22:51Speaker 6: Ahead to tonight's matchup, SMU-FSU, and some of the big
- 22:56Speaker 6: week two matchups as well on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you. Recapping
- 23:28Speaker 3: the first week of college football. We're already glancing to
- 23:30Speaker 3: some of these matchups in week two, Bone. Like Texas,
- 23:34Speaker 3: Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma. That one could get ugly unless
- 23:38Speaker 3: the refs help Michigan again. And a replay booth helps them.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Here locally, App State, ECU. We already get some trash
- 23:45Speaker 3: talk going on that one. Which I'm looking forward to.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Although Salty Pirate's trash talking his own team.
- 23:51Speaker 2: He's not happy. as an ECU man.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Let's bring in the expertise of a man, Bone, who
- 23:59Speaker 3: covers college football for VEASAN from a gambling point of view.
- 24:05Speaker 3: He is the host of VEASAN's College Football Tailgate show Saturday,
- 24:08Speaker 3: the host of VEASAN Primetime Saturday, as well on weeknights
- 24:12Speaker 3: and uh tim murray is the man and he joins
- 24:15Speaker 3: us here on a mac and bone show he seems
- 24:17Speaker 3: pretty happy about louisville covering last night bone based on
- 24:20Speaker 3: his good teams win great teams about the louisville cardinals
- 24:24Speaker 3: tim murray joins us here from visa and hey tim
- 24:26Speaker 3: what's going on man how you doing i'm doing.
- 24:29Speaker 9: Great yeah just uh waking up here in milwaukee just
- 24:33Speaker 9: after a lovely evening at Lambeau field.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Oh, how about that, man? What was, what was it
- 24:39Speaker 3: like for, uh, for, for the college game? It looked
- 24:42Speaker 3: like a great freaking atmosphere.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:44Speaker 9: Atmosphere was great. Uh, it was, I've never been to
- 24:47Speaker 9: the Rose bowl. It kind of reminded me a little
- 24:49Speaker 9: bit of the Rose bowl and that it was kind
- 24:51Speaker 9: of split right down the middle, half Notre Dame, half
- 24:54Speaker 9: Wisconsin fans, a little sloppy start, I would say for
- 24:57Speaker 9: the Irish, for a team that look, I think has,
- 25:01Speaker 9: aspirations to win the national title. I thought the second
- 25:04Speaker 9: half was a little crisper and cleaner for them. And,
- 25:07Speaker 9: you know, we'll see what happens moving forward here, but
- 25:09Speaker 9: the atmosphere there was amazing. That stadium is, It's just
- 25:13Speaker 9: second to none. It's the first time I've ever been there,
- 25:16Speaker 9: and it was really cool to take it all in
- 25:18Speaker 9: inside the stadium.
- 25:19Speaker 6: Tim, I picked Notre Dame to win it all this year.
- 25:21Speaker 6: My only question has been, you know, not exactly easy
- 25:24Speaker 6: to replace two first-round running backs in Price and, of course, Love.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Is that the biggest question you would have? What's your
- 25:33Speaker 6: question about Notre Dame entering the season?
- 25:35Speaker 9: I think the offensive line people didn't talk enough about,
- 25:39Speaker 9: and it kind of goes hand-in-hand with the running game.
- 25:41Speaker 9: I did think the running game was a little bit
- 25:43Speaker 9: better in the second half, as I mentioned. But, yeah,
- 25:46Speaker 9: I mean, look, when you lose Jeremiah Love and Jadarian
- 25:49Speaker 9: Price and you've got a couple injuries on that offensive line,
- 25:52Speaker 9: that is certainly concerning. I thought as the game went on,
- 25:57Speaker 9: you saw a couple plays made from the wide receivers.
- 26:00Speaker 9: But for me, watching last night, it kind of reconfirmed
- 26:03Speaker 9: just how– good that defense is. Their one touchdown came
- 26:06Speaker 9: on a double move, and it can't happen. Notre Dame's
- 26:09Speaker 9: corner got beat on a double move, but I thought
- 26:12Speaker 9: for the most part, the defense is very sound. But yeah,
- 26:15Speaker 9: I think fortunately for Notre Dame, the way the schedule's
- 26:18Speaker 9: laid out is they're going to be a massive favorite
- 26:21Speaker 9: until the BYU game, middle of October, so they've got
- 26:24Speaker 9: to work some things out for sure. But I think
- 26:27Speaker 9: the run game, the offensive line, who's going to emerge
- 26:30Speaker 9: as a big-time playmaker, because there's one thing that I
- 26:32Speaker 9: saw last night Notre Dame doesn't have a Malachi Tony
- 26:35Speaker 9: on their team, man. That guy is something else. And
- 26:39Speaker 9: Notre Dame is going to have to figure out how
- 26:40Speaker 9: to manufacture more offense. without a superstar like Miami has
- 26:45Speaker 9: or a superstar like Texas or Ohio State. A lot
- 26:49Speaker 9: of these teams have big, big-time receivers.
- 26:51Speaker 2: That's true.
- 26:52Speaker 3: No doubt about it. Tim Murray of Eason with us
- 26:54Speaker 3: recapping week one of college football. Still got SMU Florida
- 26:57Speaker 3: State coming up tonight. Obviously, we've talked a ton about
- 27:00Speaker 3: the Clemson game. Clemson fans were hiding from us, Tim,
- 27:04Speaker 3: on the text line for the first couple hours. Now
- 27:06Speaker 3: they're just angry as hell. They've woken up and.
- 27:08Speaker 2: They're angry as hell in the nine o'clock hour.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I mean, did that game make you feel more like, oh, shoot,
- 27:15Speaker 3: Clemson's in trouble? Or did it make you think, damn,
- 27:18Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin's got a squad this year? Like what was
- 27:20Speaker 3: your biggest takeaway?
- 27:23Speaker 9: We'll start with Clemson. You know, it's one of those
- 27:29Speaker 9: games guys, you know, you mentioned what I do, you know,
- 27:32Speaker 9: from a gambling standpoint and I said all week, I'm like, man,
- 27:36Speaker 9: my brain, my gambling brain says I got to take
- 27:39Speaker 9: Clemson here. But I was like, eh, I kind of
- 27:42Speaker 9: feel like lane might try to put on a show here.
- 27:45Speaker 9: So thankfully I stayed off of it. Didn't lose any
- 27:47Speaker 9: money on that game. I mean, look, Clemson, I think
- 27:51Speaker 9: we'll still be okay in the ACC, but like, man,
- 27:55Speaker 9: those are two different teams playing on Saturday night. I mean,
- 27:59Speaker 9: that was a different world. You look at those two programs. So,
- 28:02Speaker 9: you know, we'll see what Clemson does in the ACC.
- 28:05Speaker 9: I don't mean we'll see if they can go punch
- 28:08Speaker 9: for punch with Miami in a month. I don't see
- 28:12Speaker 9: how that's possible at this point. I mean, things can change.
- 28:15Speaker 9: And then on the flip side, man, yeah, you look
- 28:17Speaker 9: at LSU and, it seemed like all systems go there for,
- 28:21Speaker 9: for the lane train with the talent that they had. And,
- 28:24Speaker 9: and just the, the, that were flying around on that
- 28:27Speaker 9: field on Saturday night. So they've got a challenging schedule,
- 28:31Speaker 9: no doubt. But yeah, it was quite impressive to see
- 28:34Speaker 9: what LSU did from the jump there on Saturday night.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Tim, just a side note here. Your guy, Willie P,
- 28:40Speaker 6: says hello. He's texting right now. And if I didn't
- 28:44Speaker 6: say that to you, he'd be very upset with me.
- 28:46Speaker 6: Like 40% of our guests lately are Willie P buddies.
- 28:49Speaker 2: It's amazing.
- 28:50Speaker 6: But Tim's the rare Willie P guy that's been on
- 28:52Speaker 6: twice now. Usually we say... Willie P said hello. Then
- 28:55Speaker 6: we can't get old. And then they never want to
- 28:56Speaker 6: hang with us again.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:59Speaker 6: Who do you like tonight, Tim? SMU, FSU. I think
- 29:03Speaker 6: the obvious play would be SMU. But remember last year, FSU, Bama,
- 29:08Speaker 6: FSU out of nowhere stuns the world. What are you
- 29:11Speaker 6: thinking about tonight's game?
- 29:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:12Speaker 9: It's another one of those gambling brain games where I'm
- 29:14Speaker 9: looking at it and this is going to be, I
- 29:17Speaker 9: haven't checked in with odds makers today, but heading into
- 29:20Speaker 9: the weekend, this was going to be a very lopsided
- 29:22Speaker 9: ticket count all in on SMU. And I think a
- 29:25Speaker 9: lot of it had to do with the performance we
- 29:27Speaker 9: saw in week zero from Florida state. And obviously the
- 29:29Speaker 9: perception of Florida state going into this year, look, I
- 29:33Speaker 9: bet under six and a half wins on Florida state.
- 29:35Speaker 9: I think it's going to be a long season for
- 29:37Speaker 9: Mike Norvell. That said, I kind of like them a
- 29:40Speaker 9: little bit here in this game. Just once again, gambling brain,
- 29:43Speaker 9: looking at that number hasn't really moved. You know, I
- 29:47Speaker 9: was doing a radio hit last week and someone said,
- 29:50Speaker 9: it's so obvious SMU is going to win. I'm like
- 29:52Speaker 9: alarm bells going off. Like this is, this is going
- 29:55Speaker 9: to be a spot here. So I think it'll be
- 29:58Speaker 9: a competitive game. You know, it's Kevin Jennings, fully healthy.
- 30:01Speaker 9: I know he's been dealing with some injuries. I'm not,
- 30:04Speaker 9: fully sold on this SMU team. I think they're good.
- 30:07Speaker 9: I think Miami is just in a class of their
- 30:10Speaker 9: own in the ACC. Now Miami historically has always kind
- 30:14Speaker 9: of figured out ways to mess it up. But coming
- 30:17Speaker 9: into this year, guys, I had Miami one, Louisville two,
- 30:20Speaker 9: and then SMU three. So I was in SMU two,
- 30:23Speaker 9: Louisville three. So once again, I didn't have SMU nine.
- 30:27Speaker 9: I had them as the third best team in the ACC.
- 30:29Speaker 9: So I'm really curious to see this game. What's the
- 30:32Speaker 9: atmosphere going to look like Is it going to be
- 30:34Speaker 9: classic dope Campbell? Is it going to be, you know,
- 30:37Speaker 9: mediocre dope? Like what, what's going to look like tonight.
- 30:40Speaker 9: But I think I have not bet the game. I
- 30:42Speaker 9: do have a contest play. So there's a contest here
- 30:46Speaker 9: in Vegas where you pick seven games against the spread
- 30:49Speaker 9: each week. And I, I did take, Florida State plus
- 30:52Speaker 9: three and a half in a contest play, but I
- 30:53Speaker 9: don't have a personal play on it. I'll just say this.
- 30:56Speaker 9: If you're assuming SMU is just going to roll, be careful.
- 30:59Speaker 9: This does kind of feel like those typical games where
- 31:02Speaker 9: you're like, this thing's a little closer than expected. So
- 31:05Speaker 9: that's where I would be on this game tonight. It's
- 31:07Speaker 9: week one. Obviously, we've seen a couple of results that
- 31:10Speaker 9: are surprising, most notably what we saw on Thursday night
- 31:15Speaker 9: when a 29.5-point underdog absolutely destroyed Rutgers.
- 31:19Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 31:19Speaker 6: Right now on DK, 59% of the money coming in
- 31:22Speaker 6: is on SMU, 41% Florida State.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Not that far off. Not that far off.
- 31:28Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought it would be a little higher. So, yeah,
- 31:31Speaker 9: that surprises me. All right. We'll see.
- 31:33Speaker 3: So you talked about the Canes being your ACC pick, right,
- 31:36Speaker 3: before the season. I mean, it feels like they are everybody's.
- 31:40Speaker 3: But that was an eye-opener against Stanford. Again, I'm not
- 31:43Speaker 3: acting like Stanford's the toughest they're going to have to play.
- 31:46Speaker 3: But Mensah, it feels like Cam Ward was amazing two
- 31:50Speaker 3: years ago. Beck was real good. I honestly think Cristobal's
- 31:54Speaker 3: got his best quarterback now, and I mean him and
- 31:57Speaker 3: Tony and Bar-Kate all together. What do you think about
- 32:02Speaker 3: Miami's national title chances?
- 32:05Speaker 9: I said, coming into the year, I really believe that
- 32:07Speaker 9: seven teams can win it. And Miami was a part
- 32:09Speaker 9: of it because I expected Miami to be better offensively. Now, defensively,
- 32:15Speaker 9: we'll see, right? They don't have Bain. They don't have Mesador.
- 32:18Speaker 9: You know, I, I was at the Notre Dame Miami
- 32:21Speaker 9: game last year and you just, it just looked different
- 32:24Speaker 9: the way those guys came off the edge and could
- 32:26Speaker 9: wreak havoc. And fortunately for Miami, you look at the schedule, uh,
- 32:30Speaker 9: They got time. They got time to help that, you know,
- 32:32Speaker 9: kind of like Notre Dame with the run game. I
- 32:34Speaker 9: think Miami's got talent defensively, but do they have game changers?
- 32:38Speaker 9: But speaking of game changers. I mean, goodness gracious. I mean,
- 32:42Speaker 9: that was, that was different. What we saw on, on
- 32:45Speaker 9: Friday night with Malachi Tony. I mean, I don't know
- 32:47Speaker 9: if it was, I'm not going to sit here and
- 32:49Speaker 9: pretend to be a coach or anything like that. I
- 32:52Speaker 9: probably would have maybe tried to figure out different ways
- 32:55Speaker 9: to cover Malachi Tony, just, but who knows, maybe he's
- 32:58Speaker 9: just that unique of a talent. And then you bring
- 33:01Speaker 9: in Cooper Barkay to your point. He's a guy that,
- 33:04Speaker 9: you know, has such a great rapport with Mensa. And
- 33:07Speaker 9: then we didn't really see anything from Mark Fletcher.
- 33:09Speaker 2: No, they didn't run it really well.
- 33:11Speaker 9: Yeah. I mean, that's a guy that was crushing it.
- 33:13Speaker 9: So I do think the offensive line couldn't get better.
- 33:17Speaker 9: You know, but if you've got Mario Cristobal there, he's
- 33:19Speaker 9: an offensive line guy.
- 33:20Speaker 8: So.
- 33:21Speaker 9: Man, this team is– I agree with you. I think
- 33:23Speaker 9: they've got a better quarterback this year than they did
- 33:26Speaker 9: the previous two years. I was just saying something because
- 33:29Speaker 9: Cam Ward was obviously the number one overall pick, and
- 33:32Speaker 9: Carson Beck was a really, really good quarterback as well.
- 33:35Speaker 9: So I think the sky is– the limit here. And
- 33:39Speaker 9: I'll tell you what, in two months, I'm going to
- 33:41Speaker 9: be in South Bend taking in Notre Dame in Miami.
- 33:43Speaker 9: And I think that is a chance to be one
- 33:45Speaker 9: of the games, if not the game of the regular season.
- 33:48Speaker 3: If you can't tell based on all the games Tim
- 33:50Speaker 3: has gone to recently or plans to go to, he
- 33:53Speaker 3: is a Notre Dame fan. But unlike a lot of
- 33:56Speaker 3: obnoxious Notre Dame fans, I grew up going to Catholic
- 34:00Speaker 3: school with Tim.
- 34:01Speaker 2: You are a likable one.
- 34:02Speaker 9: All right.
- 34:02Speaker 2: You are a likable one, my friend.
- 34:04Speaker 3: And And you claim Willie P as a buddy, which
- 34:10Speaker 3: is cool, too.
- 34:10Speaker 6: As a Duke fan, I don't want to... It's early
- 34:12Speaker 6: in the season. Big difference between... Darian Mensah, and Walker Eget,
- 34:17Speaker 6: the new quarterback at Duke. Just my early observation on this.
- 34:20Speaker 9: A little bit of drop-off. He's not in that spread
- 34:24Speaker 9: and shred offense.
- 34:27Speaker 5: No, no.
- 34:29Speaker 3: They keep saying he was in an air-raid offense. I'm like,
- 34:32Speaker 3: is he good enough to raid? Yeah, can he shred
- 34:35Speaker 3: through the air? It's crazy to me after watching him.
- 34:38Speaker 2: We'll see.
- 34:38Speaker 3: We'll see how he plays moving forward. Tim Murray from VEASAN.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Thanks so much for coming on, Tim. Appreciate you.
- 34:44Speaker 9: All right, guys. Talk to you soon. All right.
- 34:45Speaker 2: There you go.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Tim, check out Tim on the College Football Tailgate Show, Saturday,
- 34:50Speaker 3: 9 a.m. primetime, Visa primetime, 7 p.m. weeknights for great
- 34:55Speaker 3: gambling chatter.
- 34:56Speaker 2: He might be a little better at picking them than me, Bobby.
- 34:58Speaker 6: New challenge. Try to find a guest that Willie P
- 35:01Speaker 6: isn't friends with. I'm not doing well right now.
- 35:03Speaker 2: It's crazy. And you know what used to happen? He
- 35:05Speaker 2: would used to say, this is my guy. This is
- 35:08Speaker 2: my guy. And then the person would come on and
- 35:10Speaker 2: wouldn't know him.
- 35:11Speaker 3: The last few have been proudly claiming Willie P as
- 35:14Speaker 3: their guy.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Their Willie P guy. Oh, daddy, yes. There you go, P, man.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Still can't get his K Adams on, but that's okay. Yeah.
- 35:22Speaker 3: When do you get your local bartender from college K
- 35:24Speaker 3: Adams on with us, P?
- 35:25Speaker 2: Come on, baby. That'd be a flex. All right. Speaking
- 35:27Speaker 2: of flexing, Willie or Finney, you're up.
- 35:33Speaker 9: Fiddy, not Willie.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Fiddy fully prepared for his moment. This could be a
- 35:38Speaker 2: questionable update here.
- 35:40Speaker 3: This is going to be tennis scores, guaranteed.
- 35:43Speaker 2: That's his default. Francis Tiafoe coming up here.
- 35:47Speaker 7: This update brought to you by the H & S
- 35:49Speaker 7: Roofing and Gutter Company.
- 35:51Speaker 5: If something doesn't look right with.
- 35:52Speaker 7: Your roof or your gutters, do not wait for a
- 35:55Speaker 7: small problem to become a big one. Call H &
- 35:58Speaker 7: S Roofing and Gutter Company today.
- 36:00Speaker 5: They'll give you a free estimate. That phone number, 704-334-9934.
- 36:03Speaker 8: 704-334-9934.
- 36:03Speaker 3: 704-334-9934.
- 36:14Speaker 5: I was going to talk about the U.S. Open. Francis
- 36:16Speaker 5: Tiafoe entered the quarters.
- 36:18Speaker 2: How did you know Tiafoe?
- 36:19Speaker 5: Ben Shelton entered the quarters.
- 36:21Speaker 7: Three American men entered the quarterfinals at the U.S.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Open.
- 36:26Speaker 7: But I figured I would give an update on my date.
- 36:30Speaker 7: It's a football Monday. I was not demanding... Air time
- 36:34Speaker 7: to talk about how the dancing went on Saturday night.
- 36:36Speaker 7: I didn't have to dance a single minute on Saturday,
- 36:39Speaker 7: but the date.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Still went really, really well. I like it, Fitty. I
- 36:45Speaker 2: like it, baby. Beating the parents already.
- 36:49Speaker 6: This is.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Ooh, Fit Daddy!
- 36:51Speaker 5: Met the parents. Was he like Robert De Niro?
- 36:55Speaker 2: Was he like giving to the eyes? I have nipples, Fitty.
- 36:58Speaker 2: You can look me.
- 37:03Speaker 5: They have a lot of questions. And I answered a
- 37:05Speaker 5: lot of questions.
- 37:07Speaker 7: Mac, I was trying to do the nice guy thing
- 37:09Speaker 7: because he had football on.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:12Speaker 7: And I was so tempted to turn my head and
- 37:15Speaker 7: start watching football.
- 37:17Speaker 5: But I couldn't do it. I was like having to...
- 37:19Speaker 5: Keep my neck at a certain angle.
- 37:21Speaker 3: You should have sat right down and said, Pops, what
- 37:23Speaker 3: are we watching? Pops, oh, Arch Manning's going off, isn't he?
- 37:25Speaker 2: No, that's just going to set up the textures. It's
- 37:27Speaker 2: because you can't move your neck.
- 37:28Speaker 6: That's why you couldn't move it.
- 37:31Speaker 3: I love the fact that Fitty is mad, though, at
- 37:33Speaker 3: what game her father was watching.
- 37:34Speaker 5: We had Texas State on.
- 37:36Speaker 2: See, a Texas fan, maybe?
- 37:37Speaker 5: While Auburn Baylor was going on.
- 37:39Speaker 6: But not everybody's going to, like, Fitty, not everyone is us, man.
- 37:42Speaker 6: They might just be, like, what game's on locally they
- 37:44Speaker 6: may have. They may not be digging deep for Texas.
- 37:47Speaker 7: If you're not intrigued by that Auburn offense with Byron
- 37:49Speaker 7: Brown that runs at speed.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. He was watching Texas, wasn't he? Yes,
- 37:54Speaker 2: he was watching Texas. He was choosing Texas. You know,
- 37:57Speaker 2: I can tell.
- 37:58Speaker 3: No.
- 38:00Speaker 5: I got asked if I was an.
- 38:01Speaker 7: Ella fella, and I told her yes, but I only
- 38:05Speaker 7: know like two Ella fella songs, and I had to
- 38:07Speaker 7: tell her it's more for the looks.
- 38:08Speaker 2: What is Ella fella? A guy that likes Ella Langley? Yes.
- 38:11Speaker 2: And you admitted it's more for the looks?
- 38:12Speaker 1: Yes.
- 38:13Speaker 5: Well, because she started playing me all of her music
- 38:15Speaker 5: and wanted me to sing it.
- 38:16Speaker 9: Who did?
- 38:17Speaker 2: She did or the mom? Oh, yeah.
- 38:18Speaker 5: We had a concert on the way home.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Is this your date or the mother of the date?
- 38:23Speaker 5: No, not the mother.
- 38:23Speaker 9: Okay.
- 38:24Speaker 5: All right.
- 38:24Speaker 9: No.
- 38:24Speaker 2: All right. There you go, Fitz. Sounds like you had
- 38:26Speaker 2: a grand old time. All right. So you're an LFL.
- 38:28Speaker 2: How about that Auburn game, by the way, though? That
- 38:30Speaker 2: stopped by Winters.
- 38:31Speaker 5: Best play individually all weekend, you can argue.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Besides Bryce Underwood's Hail Mary. Should Aranda have gone for two?
- 38:39Speaker 1: Yes.
- 38:43Speaker 3: I got to be honest, if they went to overtime, Bone,
- 38:45Speaker 3: no one might have ever scored in the game. We
- 38:47Speaker 3: might still be playing it right now. What an ugly
- 38:49Speaker 3: offensive performance, man. God, Byron Brown.
- 38:53Speaker 5: Three picks.
- 38:54Speaker 3: They're going to have to get a lot better before
- 38:56Speaker 3: he starts playing against SEC comp.
- 38:59Speaker 6: Mac, we have some breaking news this morning. You'll never
- 39:02Speaker 6: guess on Get Up this morning. Who said it's officially
- 39:06Speaker 6: over for Dabo Sweeney? Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 39:32Speaker 8: Well, first of all, if you think you're going to
- 39:34Speaker 8: go out and get Chad Morris from the dollar store
- 39:37Speaker 8: reject base and think you're going to save your program,
- 39:40Speaker 8: you're not going to. I mean, I am just in
- 39:43Speaker 8: shock at some of Dabo Sweeney's move, bringing Chad Morris in,
- 39:46Speaker 8: going with the quarterback that he did. It's over for
- 39:50Speaker 8: Dabo Sweeney. I know that sounds hyperbolic. I know that
- 39:53Speaker 8: sounds like, oh, there's Paul Feinbaum screaming from the lawn.
- 39:57Speaker 5: But it's the truth.
- 39:59Speaker 8: It's been trending for a number of years. This team
- 40:01Speaker 8: played for the national championship six and a half years
- 40:04Speaker 8: ago against LSU. And mostly it's been the bottom since then.
- 40:09Speaker 8: They got to the CFP a couple of years ago
- 40:11Speaker 8: on a walk off against SMU. down the street from
- 40:15Speaker 8: their campus in Charlotte. And they haven't really done anything since.
- 40:18Speaker 8: They've lost inexplicable games. But on the national stage, on
- 40:21Speaker 8: the big stage, where Clemson used to own, they can't play.
- 40:25Speaker 9: They're not.
- 40:25Speaker 8: And you said high school team. I mean, that sounds ridiculous,
- 40:27Speaker 8: but it's true. And Dabo Sweeney said after, you know,
- 40:31Speaker 8: we got our asses big. We gave you that idea, Dabo.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Well, this is sad.
- 40:37Speaker 6: I hate to play two pieces of audio back in
- 40:39Speaker 6: one day that was Paul Feinbaum saying it's over for Dabo.
- 40:43Speaker 2: That's not in my heart. It's not in my soul.
- 40:46Speaker 6: But the audience does change, and we needed to replay
- 40:49Speaker 6: him on a separate show.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Paul was like, you won't believe who said it's over
- 40:53Speaker 2: for Dabo. Get up.
- 40:54Speaker 3: I'm like the same guy that said it's over for
- 40:56Speaker 3: Dabo on the Matthew Barry podcast yesterday. I forgot we
- 40:59Speaker 3: had that. You talk about kicking Clemson fans when they're down.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Paul Feinbaum has such glee in Dabo failing. I'm surprised
- 41:08Speaker 3: he didn't break out in the song. It's over for Dabo. Sayonara, Dabo.
- 41:14Speaker 3: See ya.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Talk soon. Farewell.
- 41:17Speaker 6: I'll see you when you're on this panel.
- 41:21Speaker 2: This dude cannot. Talking ball with me.
- 41:24Speaker 3: Oh, that would be something. That'd be a hell of
- 41:25Speaker 3: a combo. He cannot hide his glee. over any struggles
- 41:30Speaker 3: they have. And unfortunately, Dabo in the NL era, especially
- 41:35Speaker 3: in openers, gives him a chance to do his song, Boney,
- 41:39Speaker 3: every year.
- 41:40Speaker 2: Be professional, Paul. You're behind the microphone. At least turn
- 41:43Speaker 2: your microphone off when you've got Dewey. There you go. See,
- 41:48Speaker 2: there you go.
- 41:49Speaker 3: No one knew Bone was laughing right there. Oh, my God.
- 41:53Speaker 3: All right, anyway. Dang, Clemson. Little old Clemson. I thought they'd...
- 41:59Speaker 3: play within 20 points. My God.
- 42:02Speaker 2: The rest of y'all bus broke down.
- 42:04Speaker 3: That rest of us blew an engine, man.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Seriously. All right.
- 42:10Speaker 3: Uh, coming up tonight, we'll see if Florida state's got
- 42:12Speaker 3: anything against SMU.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Interesting point.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Tim Murray from visa was making like, if you try
- 42:17Speaker 3: to think as a gambler, like, you know what I mean?
- 42:20Speaker 3: Like Football breakdowns. We saw Florida State struggle last week. SMU,
- 42:24Speaker 3: we expect to be one of the best teams in
- 42:26Speaker 3: the ACC. You kind of think, oh, SMU's definitely a
- 42:29Speaker 3: better team than them. But, like, if you think about, oh,
- 42:32Speaker 3: Florida State's been good in some openers lately. Too many
- 42:36Speaker 3: people are on SMU.
- 42:38Speaker 6: Although it's not their opener because they did play last week,
- 42:42Speaker 6: which is causing people to... I have a sneaky suspicion
- 42:46Speaker 6: Florida State shows up tonight. That spread is only three.
- 42:49Speaker 6: It's not a big spread. I don't know if I
- 42:53Speaker 6: would bet this because I'm not really sure, but something
- 42:56Speaker 6: tells me Florida State's got something.
- 42:57Speaker 3: Couldn't Florida State still show up and SMU win by six, though?
- 43:01Speaker 3: And everybody would be like, damn, Florida State hung in there.
- 43:04Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 43:05Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like, that's the thing.
- 43:06Speaker 3: I feel like Florida State doesn't get blown out, but SMU,
- 43:08Speaker 3: like you said, is what, a three-point favorite? Yeah.
- 43:11Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not betting it. I only have
- 43:12Speaker 2: seven cents in my account. Who am I to talk?
- 43:14Speaker 6: In shocking news, Granny Pat's confused this morning.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Well, no.
- 43:17Speaker 3: I know she knows she hates Lane Kiffin and Aaron Rodgers.
- 43:19Speaker 3: She texted about that. And Pat McAfee.
- 43:22Speaker 2: And Pat McAfee.
- 43:23Speaker 6: Granny says Tennessee took a whooping this weekend. So I
- 43:26Speaker 6: read through this. I now have figured out Granny thinks
- 43:29Speaker 6: Georgia beat Tennessee by 60. Georgia beat Tennessee State by 60.
- 43:34Speaker 6: Tennessee beat Furman, Granny. You've got your Tennessees mixed up here.
- 43:38Speaker 6: Granny thought the state of Tennessee got beat by Georgia,
- 43:42Speaker 6: the entire state.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Straighten this woman out. How about Tennessee?
- 43:45Speaker 3: Not only did Faison have five touchdowns, but how about
- 43:48Speaker 3: their Dolly tribute? 102,000 people simultaneously singing I Will Always
- 43:54Speaker 3: Love You. That was pretty damn cool at Tennessee.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Better than Rocky top. That's why college football is awesome.
- 44:01Speaker 6: I told you, by the way, that don't sleep on
- 44:03Speaker 6: Tennessee this year and phase on Brandon. I've been telling
- 44:05Speaker 6: you all summer, Tennessee is going to be a wagon.
- 44:07Speaker 3: We found out they're going to, you tried to tell
- 44:09Speaker 3: Jordan Rogers last week that they shouldn't be on upset
- 44:11Speaker 3: alert against Furman. oh god i love it when other
- 44:15Speaker 3: people have crappy takes um i know i have plenty
- 44:18Speaker 3: uh should we play the clip you uh granny hates
- 44:21Speaker 3: both pat mcafee and lane kiffin well how about granny

- 44:43Speaker 10: Southeastern Conference, what, just two days ago.
- 44:45Speaker 2: There you go.
- 44:46Speaker 10: When you get down to LSU, I mean, there's just
- 44:48Speaker 10: chaos the entire time. And then Stanford Steve says you
- 44:51Speaker 10: should see their team. The practice is unbelievable. How have
- 44:53Speaker 10: you been able to balance all that between coaching and
- 44:55Speaker 10: then everything else going on? And how do you feel
- 44:57Speaker 10: about the togetherness of your squad down here in your
- 44:59Speaker 10: first year?
- 44:59Speaker 11: That's why I've really appreciated our friendship. And this week,
- 45:03Speaker 11: your guidance with me about, you know, Because between you
- 45:06Speaker 11: and I, we're about the two most hated people there are.
- 45:08Speaker 10: I appreciate all the things this week.
- 45:11Speaker 11: You told me, hey, just focus on it. Don't worry
- 45:14Speaker 11: about the noise. A lot of times, to do great things,
- 45:16Speaker 11: you're going to be hated.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Amen, brother.
- 45:20Speaker 2: There you go, Granny. Two of your favorites. We're an
- 45:23Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers away from hate bingo. I think, you know
- 45:27Speaker 2: what I hear there?
- 45:28Speaker 3: I hear in the future a Diary of a Polarizing
- 45:32Speaker 3: Figure remake duet. Dabo and McAfee together talking about how
- 45:36Speaker 3: hated they are.
- 45:37Speaker 6: Clutching pearls. Picante, in case you missed it, our listener.
- 45:42Speaker 6: who's been doing picks for us on Fridays. And I
- 45:45Speaker 6: saw the slip.
- 45:46Speaker 2: He's not lying.
- 45:47Speaker 6: Picante went 22 for 25 this weekend. People now want
- 45:51Speaker 6: his pitch. Clutching Pearl says, where's Picante to talk SMU
- 45:55Speaker 6: Florida State?
- 45:56Speaker 2: Has he said anything about that one? At some point,
- 45:59Speaker 2: he's going to go behind the paywall. I'm about ready to...
- 46:01Speaker 2: He's going to go paywall Picante here at some point.
- 46:03Speaker 3: I'm about ready, Bone, to put money in my account,
- 46:06Speaker 3: more than seven cents, and start betting Picante's picks.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Than the other night.
- 46:10Speaker 3: I've gone from a skeptic to a complete convert now, man. Yeah,
- 46:13Speaker 3: you already used his picks.
- 46:14Speaker 6: I used one of his picks and ended up winning
- 46:16Speaker 6: a parway, actually two parways that involved San Jose State
- 46:20Speaker 6: because I remember I saw someone else say that. Then
- 46:23Speaker 6: I remember Picante also said that. And one thing I
- 46:26Speaker 6: always go by, always trust the P-Man.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Picante. Oh, no.
- 46:32Speaker 3: A couple of texts real quick before we get out
- 46:34Speaker 3: of here. Somebody wants T-Bone versus Finney, EA College Football Challenge.
- 46:38Speaker 3: See who can lead Charlotte to a six-win season first.
- 46:41Speaker 3: What are you, crazy? MSB says, Big Mouth Biff Poji
- 46:48Speaker 3: don't look so bad now, does he, Charlotte fans?
- 46:50Speaker 2: He won five games.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Doesn't that feel like you've got to be Vince Lombardi
- 46:54Speaker 3: now to win five games at Charlotte?
- 46:56Speaker 2: What about Will Healy's bowl season? Yeah. Although that wasn't
