0:03
Speaker 1: What's up, party people? Bueno, como estas? Oh, oh, oh,
0:08
Speaker 1: it's Mac and Bo. This is my friend, Matt. I
0:11
Speaker 1: guess I am the daddy.
0:12
Speaker 2: This is my friend, T-Bone.
0:15
Speaker 1: Did we ask for your opinion?
0:16
Speaker 2: He actually did.
0:17
Speaker 1: Oh, did you? You guys are the best. Pony, pony, pony, pony.
0:22
Speaker 2: They're the best.
0:22
Speaker 1: I love those guys. Have no fear. Captain Meat is here.
0:26
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Mac and Bo Show on Mac
0:28
Speaker 1: and Bo Radio. We have made it, ladies and gentlemen.
0:42
Speaker 3: It is a real full-on football Friday. College football week
0:48
Speaker 3: one underway last night. We got four more straight days
0:52
Speaker 3: with college football, and we will talk all about it
0:54
Speaker 3: today on the Mac and Bone Show. We still got
0:58
Speaker 3: some off-the-field shenanigans. Stop me if we've talked about things
1:03
Speaker 3: like this before. UNC, off the field, headlines that are
1:08
Speaker 3: not good at all. Michael Lombardio, by the way, resigned.
1:12
Speaker 3: I think that's good, actually. But the other stuff... Not good.
1:16
Speaker 3: We will talk about that. We still got court cases.
1:19
Speaker 3: We still got, you know, Louisiana. We got LSU's. Well,
1:24
Speaker 3: it's not LSU. It's the players. The players winning down
1:27
Speaker 3: there yesterday. For now, we've got the SEC filing a
1:30
Speaker 3: federal suit against LSU. So we can't get away from that.
1:34
Speaker 3: And we have some interesting Panther stuff. They named their captains.
1:39
Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks health updates, injury updates. We've got that as well.
1:44
Speaker 3: So we've got things happening today on the Mac and
1:46
Speaker 3: Bone Show, but most importantly, we're going to get you
1:48
Speaker 3: ready for the full weekend of college football. We're going
1:53
Speaker 3: to do it on today's radio show. It's the Fit
1:58
Speaker 3: Dog here. The Bone Man is here as well.
2:01
Speaker 1: What's up, Bone? What's going on? What's up with you,
2:03
Speaker 1: bro Dumars? Finney's starting to like this now a little bit.
2:09
Speaker 1: Finney's in. Yeah. Bro sounds like Joe. I do. I
2:16
Speaker 1: do see what's happening there. How long, Mac, until I
2:20
Speaker 1: at the wrong moment and six o'clock Mac just tears
2:24
Speaker 1: me to shreds? There could be a moment here. Five minutes?
2:27
Speaker 3: I don't know.
2:27
Speaker 1: There could be a moment here.
2:28
Speaker 2: Bone, you're fired.
2:30
Speaker 1: Like if your former catcher hits a homer off you
2:32
Speaker 1: last night in a Baltimore-Boston game and I go, mm-hmm,
2:36
Speaker 1: that might be a problem. Hey, it's football season. I'm sorry,
2:38
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know what sport you're
2:40
Speaker 1: talking about. It's all right, it's all right, move on.
2:41
Speaker 3: Did I not tell you, did I not tell you
2:43
Speaker 3: that the Orioles... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Did I not
2:45
Speaker 3: tell you, though? that the Orioles had gotten our hopes up,
2:48
Speaker 3: and that a three-game losing streak is coming. Colorado got
2:52
Speaker 3: them twice. But anyway, it's just, again, I cannot begin
2:57
Speaker 3: to tell you. No one cares about the Orioles season,
3:01
Speaker 3: other than Bone to troll me. Can I not tell
3:05
Speaker 3: you that I have given up and jumped back on
3:09
Speaker 3: the wagon 70 times this season with that ridiculous team?
3:12
Speaker 3: But football's here to save me, to save a lot
3:15
Speaker 3: of fans.
3:17
Speaker 1: Our national nightmare is over, Bone. We got real football.
3:21
Speaker 3: And last night we got a chance to see Wake
3:25
Speaker 3: Forest in action. They win 38-16. We'll talk about that
3:29
Speaker 3: in a minute. But let's start with the game that
3:32
Speaker 3: ended late last night. It ended dramatically and it did
3:36
Speaker 3: not end well for the ACC.
3:38
Speaker 1: Colorado.
3:40
Speaker 3: Blocks a field goal as time expires, and they hold
3:45
Speaker 3: on to beat Georgia Tech. After rallying to take the
3:49
Speaker 3: lead late, looked like Georgia Tech was about ready, Bone,
3:53
Speaker 3: to potentially win this game last night on ESPN. Colorado
3:57
Speaker 3: blocks the kick and gets the heck out of there
4:00
Speaker 3: with a win. It was an ugly game. There was
4:04
Speaker 3: a lot of ugliness on the football fields last night.
4:07
Speaker 3: It's almost like they don't have preseason games, Bone, in college.
4:11
Speaker 3: And this was an ugly one, but it was a
4:14
Speaker 3: big win for Dion.
4:15
Speaker 1: He needed that. But unfortunately, Bone, that's a bummer for
4:19
Speaker 1: the ACC. Yeah, that was a game. If you stuck
4:22
Speaker 1: with it, it certainly was a hell of a finish,
4:25
Speaker 1: but it took a little bit of a, it took
4:27
Speaker 1: a grind. 14-13, fine. It took a grind to get there. Colorado,
4:32
Speaker 1: a ton of running in the game, a lot of
4:35
Speaker 1: execution where Georgia Tech could not get them off the field. Look,
4:40
Speaker 1: Alberto Mendoza, his debut for Georgia Tech, 17 for 23, 237,
4:45
Speaker 1: including a big pass at the end that set up
4:48
Speaker 1: the field goal that gave them the lead that they
4:50
Speaker 1: eventually lost. But to me, Mac, it wasn't about, you know,
4:54
Speaker 1: Mendoza replacing Haynes King. The line play for Georgia Tech,
4:58
Speaker 1: they just got manhandled on the offensive line, defensive line.
5:02
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, they couldn't block Colorado at times. They couldn't
5:07
Speaker 1: stop them in key moments on the ground. Colorado was
5:10
Speaker 1: 9-for-20 on third and fourth downs, and a lot of
5:13
Speaker 1: those were just run straight up the middle. So the
5:16
Speaker 1: line play last night was really what ultimately I think
5:19
Speaker 1: did the Yellow Jackets in.
5:20
Speaker 3: Brent Key has to be miserable right now because they
5:24
Speaker 3: played the way Colorado beat them at the game that
5:28
Speaker 3: Brent Key wants to be Georgia Tech's game.
5:32
Speaker 1: Brent Key.
5:33
Speaker 3: Is one of these tough dude coaches. And he wants
5:36
Speaker 3: to run the football down your throat. And they could
5:39
Speaker 3: not do that last night. They ended up with 51 yards,
5:42
Speaker 3: 1.7 yards a carry. And like you're saying, on the
5:46
Speaker 3: flip side, Colorado pounded it straight at them over and
5:51
Speaker 3: over again and ran it for 183 yards. That has
5:55
Speaker 3: to make Brent Key miserable, man. And that has to
5:58
Speaker 3: concern Georgia Tech fans.
6:03
Speaker 1: The biggest hope for Georgia Tech is the star running
6:06
Speaker 1: back transfer from Michigan, Justice Haynes. And he started out
6:10
Speaker 1: looking like, wow, this guy is going to carry them
6:13
Speaker 1: right through this first game. Then he disappeared for a
6:16
Speaker 1: very long time. Finished 19 carries. 64 yards, 3.4 yards
6:20
Speaker 1: per carry. If he's not going to go and be
6:25
Speaker 1: the star back, then they're going to be in some trouble.
6:27
Speaker 3: Listen, Mendoza was good. When you don't have Haynes King,
6:31
Speaker 3: Haynes King is like, I mean, all-time Georgia Tech great.
6:35
Speaker 3: And I'm not just saying this, Bone, because we're now
6:37
Speaker 3: in love with him in Charlotte. He just is, man.
6:39
Speaker 3: He's just a difference maker, and they will miss him.
6:42
Speaker 3: Mendoza was all right. He was solid. But they will
6:45
Speaker 3: miss Haynes King. I expected Georgia Tech to take a
6:47
Speaker 3: step back this year. I did not expect them to
6:50
Speaker 3: lose to Colorado. By the way, Colorado, and I know
6:55
Speaker 3: that Juju Lewis had the big touchdown drive to take
6:58
Speaker 3: the lead late, so you've got to give him credit
7:00
Speaker 3: for that. He had a really great wheel route to
7:02
Speaker 3: the tight end, touchdown pass right up over the linebacker.
7:06
Speaker 3: But my God, Colorado's passing game looked atrocious for much
7:10
Speaker 3: of that game. I think that's kind of a crappy
7:12
Speaker 3: loss for an ACC team. And what's one of the storylines?
7:17
Speaker 3: In week one, it is every year. Can the ACC...
7:22
Speaker 3: Start off by earning some respect nationally. And I thought
7:26
Speaker 3: that's one bone they should win. At home in Atlanta?
7:30
Speaker 1: Because they have a ranked opponent coming in now week
7:32
Speaker 1: two in Tennessee. We thought that, hey, Georgia Tech, they
7:36
Speaker 1: may not be the same, but they'll be 1-0 playing Tennessee.
7:39
Speaker 1: Now you have to look at that game. Even though
7:41
Speaker 1: I haven't been that high on Tennessee, Georgia Tech is
7:45
Speaker 1: looking at an 0-2 start right now.
7:46
Speaker 3: Do you think Tennessee might be better than Colorado? That's
7:49
Speaker 3: the thing.
7:51
Speaker 1: It's like... Oh, my God.
7:53
Speaker 3: But anyway, so that loss doesn't sit well as we're
7:57
Speaker 3: looking for the ACC to accomplish something here in week one.
8:02
Speaker 3: We also do have to talk about Wake Forest. There's
8:04
Speaker 3: a win for the ACC, Bone. Wake Forest. Carolina fans
8:09
Speaker 3: had to be watching Gio Lopez in the first half.
8:13
Speaker 3: and saying, who is this guy? Gio Lopez. It's amazing
8:16
Speaker 3: what happens, Bone, when you put a quarterback in a
8:19
Speaker 3: system that fits his skill set. And we saw this
8:23
Speaker 3: very early. We said it very early last year. It
8:25
Speaker 3: was very apparent at TCU game. Holy crap, they're trying
8:28
Speaker 3: to run pro-style with this dude who should be in
8:30
Speaker 3: a spread offense. So, of course, they bring the O coordinator.
8:34
Speaker 3: Jake Dickert, great move, brings the O coordinator from South
8:37
Speaker 3: Alabama that knows Geo, worked with Geo there. They run
8:40
Speaker 3: a spread offense. Zone read. 3-4 wide, and Gio Lopez
8:47
Speaker 3: throws for 350 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions
8:50
Speaker 3: last night. And that's really not the story. They started,
8:53
Speaker 3: Dickert really wanted to pound the ball in the second half.
8:56
Speaker 3: He was very upset with Stroh in the halftime interview,
8:59
Speaker 3: even though they were up 28-3. He was pissed off
9:02
Speaker 3: they weren't running the football better and they weren't physical.
9:05
Speaker 3: So you could tell in the second half, oh, they
9:06
Speaker 3: just wanted to pound the crap out of the ball.
9:08
Speaker 3: But in that first half, Gio Lopez was well over three.
9:12
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you know the exact number of
9:14
Speaker 1: what he had at halftime?
9:15
Speaker 2: He threw for more yards in the first half.
9:19
Speaker 4: Than he did in his first three games last year
9:21
Speaker 4: against FBS competition combined.
9:24
Speaker 1: He was 21 for 32, 313, three touchdowns at halftime.
9:28
Speaker 1: Did he not throw a pass in the second half?
9:31
Speaker 1: He ended up with 350. But 21 of 32 was
9:32
Speaker 1: his total. I don't know. I don't know. It says
9:38
Speaker 1: right here on game notes he had 313 in halftime
9:40
Speaker 1: and 350 for the game. I have to go. So
9:42
Speaker 1: he threw for 37 yards in his second half. Okay.
9:44
Speaker 1: For the game, he was 21-32. Yeah, I'm sorry. He
9:46
Speaker 1: roasted it here as the first half. 313 in the
9:50
Speaker 1: first half, and they were shredding. Again, it's Akron. And
9:55
Speaker 1: he had, I believe, all his rushing numbers were in
9:57
Speaker 1: the first half, too, were they not? He ended up with...
10:00
Speaker 1: 39 yards rushing to go with that total in the
10:02
Speaker 1: first half. I don't think he ran in the second half.
10:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, they wanted to run it with the backs, Clark,
10:07
Speaker 3: the freshman, Lawrence. They started to run it real well.
10:11
Speaker 3: Ty Clark went over 100 yards. But remember, Geo also
10:14
Speaker 3: took that hit to the mouth. as he was going down,
10:17
Speaker 3: had to come out. So maybe at that point, they
10:21
Speaker 3: don't see the sense in him keeping the football.
10:24
Speaker 1: Can I say something about Jake Dickard also, Mac? I
10:27
Speaker 1: know we did a whole thing yesterday on teams and expectations.
10:31
Speaker 1: They won nine games last year with Robbie Ashford as
10:33
Speaker 1: their quarterback. So if they're going to get good Gio Lopez,
10:38
Speaker 1: I don't know if nine is the number because of
10:40
Speaker 1: the schedule. But if Gio Lopez is going to be
10:43
Speaker 1: like South Alabama's Gio Lopez, you talk about a trajectory
10:47
Speaker 1: change for what Wake might be this year.
10:48
Speaker 3: Obviously, the opponents will get tougher for Mackering. A team
10:51
Speaker 3: picked 11th in the MAAC.
10:52
Speaker 1: I mean, a team that has a fan as an
10:54
Speaker 1: OC for their next game. And that will be an upgrade, actually.
10:58
Speaker 3: They should have called him at halftime.
11:01
Speaker 1: They might need a fan to be the DC. They did.
11:04
Speaker 3: Akron did score a couple of late touchdowns, kind of
11:05
Speaker 3: ticked off Dickard again.
11:07
Speaker 1: I like Dickard. He's an intense dude. That's a football coach, man.
11:10
Speaker 3: He's an intense dude and had a hell of a
11:13
Speaker 3: first year, and that's a pretty damn good start. Carlos Hernandez,
11:18
Speaker 3: the wide receiver bone, is going to be Geo's number
11:20
Speaker 3: one target. Five for 165 in the first half. They
11:23
Speaker 3: kept getting him on these crossing routes with some— So
11:25
Speaker 3: much room to run. He got hurt. Gio did. The
11:30
Speaker 3: one thing Gio did bad is he threw a damn
11:32
Speaker 3: hospital ball to Hernandez.
11:34
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
11:35
Speaker 3: He threw it right in the middle of two defenders.
11:37
Speaker 3: Go ahead and try to get that. And Hernandez got rocked.
11:40
Speaker 3: But Dickert did say after the game he had the
11:41
Speaker 3: wind knocked out of him. Kind of had trouble getting
11:44
Speaker 3: it back. So he thinks he's going to be okay.
11:47
Speaker 3: The Wake defense picked up where they left off last
11:50
Speaker 3: year in terms of tackles for loss.
11:52
Speaker 1: They were a great tackle for loss.
11:54
Speaker 3: Defense forcing negative plays last year, and they did that
11:58
Speaker 3: last night. Langston Hardy was tremendously disruptive. So pretty good
12:03
Speaker 3: start for Wake. Remember last year, Bone, as good as
12:08
Speaker 3: Wake was last year with nine wins, didn't they have
12:11
Speaker 3: a horrendous start to the season? Was that last year,
12:15
Speaker 3: Kennesaw State, the real ugly win? That was last year, right?
12:19
Speaker 1: I believe so, yeah.
12:20
Speaker 3: And we all thought, oh, my God, this offense is
12:22
Speaker 3: going to be horrible. They could barely score on Kennesaw State.
12:25
Speaker 3: They won 10-9 against Kennesaw State. This is a way
12:28
Speaker 3: better start to the season than last year. And last
12:31
Speaker 3: year's team won nine. I do think, Mac, the competition
12:35
Speaker 3: level may pick up. It's Miami in two weeks and
12:37
Speaker 3: then Louisville the week after that. So I do believe
12:40
Speaker 3: they may be tested more than– What are they? The Zips.
12:44
Speaker 3: But they're getting Purdue. Panther Bo, I'm sorry. They're going
12:47
Speaker 3: to Purdue, and they're getting a big road win. There's
12:49
Speaker 3: a big win for the ACC next week.
12:51
Speaker 1: Per who? They're going to get that one, baby. The
12:55
Speaker 1: Big Ten looked good last night, didn't they? Rutgers!
13:01
Speaker 3: My God, Rutgers. That was an atrocious loss, Bone. They
13:06
Speaker 3: were 29-point favorites against a UMass team who hadn't won in, what,
13:10
Speaker 3: like 16 games?
13:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had not won in 16 games. They had
13:14
Speaker 1: not led a power conference team at halftime. since Mississippi
13:19
Speaker 1: State in 2017. That's almost a decade per my math.
13:24
Speaker 1: And they were up 17 at halftime.
13:26
Speaker 3: I completely forgot about this game until you texted me
13:29
Speaker 3: and said, what's going on with Rutgers?
13:30
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's happening?
13:31
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't part of our viewing plans. You're like,
13:33
Speaker 3: it's halftime. They're down by 17. I said, oh, this
13:35
Speaker 3: is going on TV, too. I got to watch this.
13:37
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous because, yeah, UMass was 29-point favorites. They
13:41
Speaker 3: won by 16. It was a 45-point difference between the
13:45
Speaker 3: spread and the result.
13:46
Speaker 2: It's... Did you see who made a bet on it
13:48
Speaker 2: before the game? Like his bet of the year?
13:51
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
13:52
Speaker 2: Oh, Portnoy, man.
13:53
Speaker 1: You got freezing cold taped in the second quarter of
13:56
Speaker 1: week one of the football season.
13:57
Speaker 3: Touted Rutgers minus 29.5 as his bet for the night.
14:02
Speaker 1: And it might be his strongest bet of the season.
14:05
Speaker 1: That's how I knew, Mac. I'm like you. I wasn't
14:08
Speaker 1: fully paying attention to that, and I saw Portnoy just
14:11
Speaker 1: ripping Rutgers, and I thought, what's going on over here?
14:13
Speaker 1: Because sometimes you see tweets, and it's not as bad.
14:17
Speaker 1: As it seems. Well, that was as bad as it was.
14:19
Speaker 1: They got shredded by Pop Watson. Quarterback Pop Watson. There
14:26
Speaker 1: you go. What a name.
14:27
Speaker 2: We also have to shout out Arkansas Pine Bluff.
14:30
Speaker 4: They closed as 55-point underdogs to Willie's Missouri Tigers.
14:36
Speaker 2: They covered the spread. They only lost 54-14.
14:39
Speaker 1: So they covered. We're shouting them out. They lost by 40.
14:46
Speaker 1: I think Phitty's just trying to needle Willie early on
14:48
Speaker 1: here in the program. We won by 40, yo!
14:52
Speaker 2: They were more competitive than Idaho. They lost to Utah 66-14.
14:55
Speaker 2: They lost by 42.
14:57
Speaker 1: You gotta love the stinkers, though. You gotta love the idea.
15:00
Speaker 1: I don't know what the final was. Central Florida was
15:02
Speaker 1: up by 73 on Bethune-Cookman last night.
15:05
Speaker 2: 73-6 was the final.
15:06
Speaker 1: There you go.
15:06
Speaker 2: And doesn't Bethune play Miami later in the year, too?
15:09
Speaker 4: They're always on Miami's schedule.
15:11
Speaker 1: Poor Bethune. I don't have the Bethune-Cookman schedule pulled up, Finney.
15:14
Speaker 1: That was not part of our grid sheet here.
15:16
Speaker 3: Sorry.
15:17
Speaker 1: All right. Finney's trying to make up for not being
15:20
Speaker 1: a football guy tomorrow night with his date, so he's
15:22
Speaker 1: throwing stuff at us. He was all over Thursday night.
15:24
Speaker 3: He won't be watching LSU and Clemson on Saturday because
15:27
Speaker 3: he's on a date.
15:28
Speaker 1: He was watching Bethune-Cookman, though.
15:30
Speaker 3: Bethune-Cookman lost last year to Miami by 42. They do
15:35
Speaker 3: not play them this year.
15:37
Speaker 2: Oh, Finney.
15:38
Speaker 3: They decided to schedule UCF instead, and it got even worse. Oh, man,
15:43
Speaker 3: but college football is back, baby. But don't mistake college
15:47
Speaker 3: football games for being played, Bone, to mean that the
15:50
Speaker 3: court cases are over. We couldn't be so lucky. The
15:54
Speaker 3: Louisiana case, surprise, surprise. The Louisiana judge ruled in a
16:01
Speaker 3: way that helps LSU. Color me surprised. The players get a,
16:09
Speaker 3: and this is only a preliminary, this is only a
16:12
Speaker 3: preliminary like injunction. This is still not permanent in that
16:16
Speaker 3: Louisiana court, by the way. This is just like a
16:19
Speaker 3: temporary preliminary injunction that will allow these guys for the
16:22
Speaker 3: time being to be eligible. So Harris and Daquan Wright.
16:26
Speaker 3: can be on the roster at LSU and play. But
16:28
Speaker 3: there's no guarantee, Bone. At some point, they're not ruled ineligible.
16:31
Speaker 3: And if Lane Kiffin plays them, he's playing ineligible players.
16:34
Speaker 3: So that's part of the storyline here. But literally, while
16:39
Speaker 3: Greg Sankey was on the.
16:43
Speaker 3: Was on the stand in Louisiana at that courtroom. Word
16:50
Speaker 3: got out that the SEC was taking LSU to federal
16:54
Speaker 3: court in a separate case in a federal court in Alabama.
17:00
Speaker 3: So now they go into a state bone that hates Louisiana,
17:03
Speaker 3: hates LSU. Oh, my. It's never ending, and it may
17:08
Speaker 3: not for a very long time with all this stuff, right? Mac,
17:11
Speaker 3: the fitting end to the SEC season, though, would be
17:14
Speaker 3: if LSU won the SEC championship and they have to
17:17
Speaker 3: be presented with the SEC trophy by Mr.
17:20
Speaker 1: Greg Sankey.
17:21
Speaker 3: That would be kind of funny, but that would be
17:23
Speaker 3: good for Lane Kiffin, which I'm not rooting for.
17:24
Speaker 1: No, I'm not, but that would be interesting. That would
17:27
Speaker 1: be apropos? Is that right? That word? Apropos. That's one word.
17:33
Speaker 1: Apropos for what's going on? Apropos?
17:36
Speaker 3: That would be amusing. That would be the word that
17:38
Speaker 3: I would use. But in case you're wondering, Bone, if
17:44
Speaker 3: the SEC is getting a fair trial in the Louisiana court,
17:49
Speaker 3: I would like you to find the picture on social
17:53
Speaker 3: media of of the judge that ruled in favor of
17:56
Speaker 3: the players, including the two LSU players, where he is
18:00
Speaker 3: posing in his courtroom. Don't know when this happened, but
18:04
Speaker 3: posing in, I hope it wasn't yesterday, posing in the
18:06
Speaker 3: courtroom with an LSU assistant, and they're both doing the L,
18:10
Speaker 3: LSU sign with their hands.
18:11
Speaker 1: Oh, God. Maybe it's there for litigation. This guy very,
18:16
Speaker 1: this guy very unbiased, Bone. Very unbiased. Who's this judge?
18:19
Speaker 1: Harry Anderson?
18:20
Speaker 4: Yeah.
18:21
Speaker 1: Look it up, kids.
18:22
Speaker 3: Harry Anderson has way more integrity than these local court
18:25
Speaker 3: judges that just serve their constituents who love college sports
18:31
Speaker 3: way too much, man.
18:32
Speaker 1: All right. Mac and I are the injunction boys, Mac.
18:35
Speaker 1: We give you your injunction news every day. Wasn't that
18:37
Speaker 1: the ESPN? Injunction boys. Yeah, that was the movie. There'll
18:41
Speaker 1: be a new one. There'll be a new one about
18:43
Speaker 1: these court cases. When we come back, more football. We
18:47
Speaker 1: have an injury update on Jonathan Brooks. The Panthers name
18:50
Speaker 1: their captains. Michael Lombardi resigns at UNC as the school
18:55
Speaker 1: is looking in, reportedly, to all kinds of bad stuff
18:59
Speaker 1: with the program. We'll tackle all those news items next
19:01
Speaker 1: on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. So today, justice was served.
19:29
Speaker 1: And justice was served to the SEC.
19:32
Speaker 2: It was served like a cold cup of gumbo.
19:35
Speaker 1: And that just forced them to eat. All right, there
19:38
Speaker 1: you go.
19:39
Speaker 3: I don't know if you– hopefully you can hear that
19:40
Speaker 3: all right. That is one of the lawyer's bones for
19:44
Speaker 3: the players in the Louisiana court case where they got
19:48
Speaker 3: they won the you know injunction restraining or whatever verbiage
19:52
Speaker 3: we're using on this but they're now eligible for the
19:54
Speaker 3: time being um got served justice like a cold cup
19:59
Speaker 3: of gumbo who eats their gumbo cold by the way
20:04
Speaker 3: I don't think I've.
20:04
Speaker 1: Eaten gumbo hot before. I've never had gumbo. Who eats
20:07
Speaker 1: gumbo cold? That doesn't sound good. Cold gumbo does not
20:10
Speaker 1: sound appetizing.
20:13
Speaker 3: But it was a hell of a line, though, baby.
20:15
Speaker 3: Hell of a line by a victorious lawyer.
20:17
Speaker 1: What is he, the Jackie Childs of the operation here? Oh, God, man.
20:25
Speaker 1: One note here that goes back to last segment. I
20:27
Speaker 1: was not aware of this, but it's hilarious. Rutgers, Max,
20:31
Speaker 1: still went on. with their post-game fireworks show for the
20:34
Speaker 1: fans last night. What the heck? Rutgers lost by 30,
20:38
Speaker 1: but still did the post-game fireworks.
20:40
Speaker 3: You can't lose the fireworks game, bro. You clearly set
20:43
Speaker 3: the post-game fireworks for a game you think is an
20:46
Speaker 3: automatic win, and then you go out there and lose
20:49
Speaker 3: the post-game fireworks show? Because I get the dilemma, Bone.
20:56
Speaker 3: There's probably families there.
20:57
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
20:58
Speaker 3: There's probably people that want to see the fireworks. So
21:00
Speaker 3: they're thinking, we got people that want to see the fireworks.
21:03
Speaker 3: It's all crappy football. Do we give them the fireworks
21:06
Speaker 3: and they at least get to see something they want?
21:08
Speaker 3: Or is it lame as hell to put fireworks on
21:11
Speaker 3: when we lost as 30-point favorites?
21:13
Speaker 1: There's like eight people there. They're almost like a young
21:15
Speaker 1: girl enjoying the fireworks while another guy has his head
21:17
Speaker 1: in his hands. Oh, my God. What a brutal loss.
21:22
Speaker 3: You can't lose the fireworks game because then you don't
21:24
Speaker 3: know what to do. What do we do with the fireworks?
21:27
Speaker 3: We lost the fireworks game. You're not using those for
21:30
Speaker 3: most of your Big Ten games.
21:33
Speaker 1: No.
21:34
Speaker 3: There's a reason that was the fireworks game. It's like
21:39
Speaker 3: the homecoming game, man. You've got to make that easy,
21:41
Speaker 3: and you've got to win it. Put that on the
21:42
Speaker 3: quote board, Fitty. Mac says, you can't lose your fireworks game.
21:46
Speaker 1: You can't.
21:47
Speaker 3: And also, justice was served like a cold cup of
21:49
Speaker 3: gumbo yesterday in Louisiana in that courtroom. Put that on
21:52
Speaker 3: the board as well. All right, let's talk some Panther
21:55
Speaker 3: football here. Before we work our way to Lombardi resigning,
22:00
Speaker 3: why the timing of Lombardi resigning, and then all this
22:04
Speaker 3: stuff that apparently— UNC has lawyers investigating and looking into WRAL,
22:10
Speaker 3: has done their own investigation, and it is bad news
22:14
Speaker 3: for the Tar Heels. They will always have TCU bone,
22:17
Speaker 3: but their good vibes literally lasted like three days. I mean,
22:22
Speaker 3: I feel for Tar Heel fans, man.
22:23
Speaker 1: That's been the story of the Belichick at UNC saga.
22:27
Speaker 1: It feels like whenever there's something positive whatsoever, something else
22:31
Speaker 1: is only a couple days away from getting us back
22:34
Speaker 1: to talking about the negatives of what's Brutal.
22:37
Speaker 3: I will say this. This appears to be good news.
22:40
Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks' fiance was on Twitter responding to a fan
22:44
Speaker 3: that was trying to tell everybody that Jonathan Brooks has
22:49
Speaker 3: knee soreness. Put it together, everybody. Dave Canales said it's soreness.
22:54
Speaker 3: What do you think it is? It's knee soreness. The swelling,
22:57
Speaker 3: I bet, is coming back, too. This dude acted like
22:59
Speaker 3: he knew what was going on with Jonathan Brooks. Jonathan Brooks'
23:02
Speaker 3: fiance got a little testy at him. and said, just
23:06
Speaker 3: to let you know, I can help you out here.
23:07
Speaker 1: It is not knee soreness.
23:09
Speaker 4: Great.
23:09
Speaker 1: So there you go. So that is good news. Shocking
23:13
Speaker 1: a Twitter doctor got put in his place. I have
23:15
Speaker 1: a question, though.
23:16
Speaker 3: Could Dave Canales just not have informed everybody he's sitting at,
23:20
Speaker 3: he's on the side because of soreness. Don't worry, it's
23:23
Speaker 3: not his knee. Or did Dave Canales want the Bears
23:27
Speaker 3: to think, oh, I wonder if his knee's hurting him.
23:31
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
23:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, 100%. Why do you think Canales couldn't just
23:36
Speaker 1: explain that to us? Yeah, if it's not the knee,
23:39
Speaker 1: then if it's like a hamstring or something, just tell
23:41
Speaker 1: us what's sore. If it's not the knee— Well, just
23:43
Speaker 1: say it's not the knee. Yeah.
23:44
Speaker 3: Because everybody out there, Panther fans get all worried.
23:47
Speaker 1: We're going to be that way about him for a while.
23:49
Speaker 1: So you're going to have to really kind of almost
23:52
Speaker 1: be honest to a point about him, or we're just
23:54
Speaker 1: going to go into freakout mode.
23:55
Speaker 3: Unless he didn't—that's what I'm saying. Unless he wasn't being
23:58
Speaker 3: honest on purpose— to make the opponent one.
24:01
Speaker 1: Coaches would. You know what I mean?
24:02
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:03
Speaker 3: But I don't know. Plenty of coaches would. Does Dave
24:06
Speaker 3: Canales care about that gamesmanship?
24:07
Speaker 1: I don't really know.
24:09
Speaker 3: But it's just, it's kind of odd if it's not
24:11
Speaker 3: the knee. Or does he not want the Bears to
24:13
Speaker 3: know the other body part that's a problem now?
24:16
Speaker 1: I don't know.
24:16
Speaker 3: That's all I can think of. Hey, Fiat, can you
24:19
Speaker 3: tell us what's sore then? Go on Twitter. Go on
24:22
Speaker 3: Twitter and get that out of her. So anyway, we
24:26
Speaker 3: thank her for that information. um panthers chose their captains
24:30
Speaker 3: they voted to choose their captains and that was announced
24:34
Speaker 3: yesterday bryce young chuba hubbard derrick brown devin lloyd before
24:40
Speaker 3: he even plays a game as a panther captain and
24:43
Speaker 3: i think that is 100 the way to do it
24:45
Speaker 3: and jj jansen ladies and gentlemen jensen how about.
24:50
Speaker 1: That man he and uh he's uh approaching history right
24:54
Speaker 1: with the with the captaincy of the panthers That was
24:56
Speaker 1: in the Panther– that was in a write-up yesterday about–
25:00
Speaker 1: I think this is his fourth time. Him and Bryce both. Yeah,
25:02
Speaker 1: that's awesome.
25:03
Speaker 3: Him and Bryce both four-time captains. They join a club
25:07
Speaker 3: now that is only 20 Panthers ever that have been
25:09
Speaker 3: captains four times or more.
25:12
Speaker 1: So that's pretty damn cool. And we've got– And all
25:14
Speaker 1: of them are either in the Hall of Honor or
25:19
Speaker 1: they're honored in some way. So, Mac, I ask you this,
25:21
Speaker 1: and I'm not even kidding. Will J.J. Jansen go– From
25:25
Speaker 1: an undrafted long snapper to the Panthers. I always get
25:30
Speaker 1: it wrong. Hall of Honor. Will J.J. one day, Mac,
25:32
Speaker 1: be so loved by the whole organization that he goes
25:36
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Honor? I'm not wondering. Is it possible?
25:39
Speaker 1: We've talked about it with J.J. I'm starting to wonder.
25:41
Speaker 4: J.J.
25:42
Speaker 1: Has laughed at it. J.J.
25:43
Speaker 3: Has said, I don't know if you remember last year, J.J.
25:46
Speaker 3: told us that Ryan Fitzgerald, who then was the rookie
25:49
Speaker 3: kicker on the team, looked up at the names and said,
25:52
Speaker 3: your name will be up there one day.
25:54
Speaker 1: And J.J. thought it was funny. J.J. 's like, are
25:55
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Long snappers don't go up there. So, J.J.
25:59
Speaker 3: Himself, you can ask him again, Bone, if he's now
26:01
Speaker 3: feeling frisky, but he himself has kind of laughed at it.
26:04
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, as a guy that spanned different eras
26:08
Speaker 1: of Panther football, every iteration of this team, GMs, coaches, players,
26:13
Speaker 1: they all love J.J. Mac, how many players can you
26:16
Speaker 1: ask the free... We were talking to Nick Scott about JJ, right,
26:21
Speaker 1: last week? Yeah. Mac, how many free safeties can have
26:24
Speaker 1: a relationship with the long snapper in this league? He's
26:26
Speaker 1: got a relationship with everybody on this team. So he
26:29
Speaker 1: goes beyond football. I'm not saying it's a 100% thing,
26:32
Speaker 1: but I do wonder now, at some point, just based
26:35
Speaker 1: off the human being that he is, Will he end
26:37
Speaker 1: up being honored one day?
26:39
Speaker 3: Do we need to start that movement here on the
26:41
Speaker 3: Mac and Bone show? Do we need to get public pressure?
26:44
Speaker 3: Do we need to get people with signs bone and
26:47
Speaker 3: blowhorns and megaphones out there threatening to never go to
26:52
Speaker 3: a Panther game again until it's announced that JJ is.
26:55
Speaker 1: In the Hall of Honor? Do we need to do that?
26:58
Speaker 1: I think I may make this my— I'm here for it.
27:00
Speaker 1: I may make this my quest, right? Let's do it, baby.
27:05
Speaker 1: Let's make it happen. Let's make it a Mack and
27:07
Speaker 1: Bone show cause. Not sure, Bone, it's really going to happen,
27:12
Speaker 1: but he's our guy, baby. Let's push for it. If
27:15
Speaker 1: we could get Mabel in the Charlotte Observer, we can
27:17
Speaker 1: get JJ in the Hall of Honor. I like that attitude.
27:19
Speaker 1: I like that attitude.
27:21
Speaker 3: Panthers yesterday added running back Imani Marshall to the practice squad.
27:24
Speaker 3: He was in Cleveland camp at one point. I thought
27:27
Speaker 3: guys in Cleveland camp owned to get cut, go to LSU.
27:30
Speaker 3: I'm kind of confused by this. Anyway, he has added
27:34
Speaker 3: Isaac Glass, offensive tackle released. So adding a little running
27:38
Speaker 3: back depth to the team. Don't know if that has
27:41
Speaker 3: anything to do with Brooks being injured or whatever, but
27:43
Speaker 3: there you go. And how about this one? Thank you
27:45
Speaker 3: to Smoke Ludwig for sharing this with me last night.
27:48
Speaker 3: We've got two more national media enemies, Bone, here in Carolina.
27:53
Speaker 1: Oh, no.
27:54
Speaker 3: Chris Broussard and Nick Wright, or as LeVar would call him,
27:59
Speaker 3: Nick Wrong, they both picked the Panthers.
28:03
Speaker 1: Defending champs. Last in the NFC South. Well, they're last
28:09
Speaker 1: to be in the media rankings right now.
28:12
Speaker 3: The show might be first things first, but you think
28:15
Speaker 3: those two hoes come in last.
28:17
Speaker 1: No, I do not. Can I say something here? I
28:23
Speaker 1: guarantee you the Panthers are not finishing last. There you go, baby.
28:27
Speaker 1: There's another team, Mac, that is a little bit further south. Actually,
28:30
Speaker 1: they're all... In the south, they're all further south. But
28:33
Speaker 1: there's a TMAC three hours away from now that's finishing
28:36
Speaker 1: last in the south.
28:37
Speaker 3: One of those goobers had the Falcons second in the division.
28:40
Speaker 1: Well, that's wrong. With that quarterback situation, are you kidding me? No.
28:45
Speaker 3: What would Bebop do, by the way, if he was
28:47
Speaker 3: a Falcons fan with that quarterback situation?
28:50
Speaker 1: He'd probably complain about Bryce. Yeah.
28:55
Speaker 3: I feel like he would literally run on the field
28:58
Speaker 3: and physically attack one of, whoever started quarterback is, I
29:01
Speaker 3: think he might physically attack them actually. All right, let's
29:05
Speaker 3: get to the UNC portion of this segment for better
29:08
Speaker 3: or worse, Finney. And I just want to, I just
29:12
Speaker 3: want to, you know, set it up now, but we're
29:13
Speaker 3: going to do a whole conversation about it at seven
29:17
Speaker 3: o'clock and talk to Tar Heel fans about this. I
29:20
Speaker 3: hate this for Tar Heel football fans.
29:23
Speaker 1: I really do. Um, I, they, they had momentum. Finally. Um,
29:29
Speaker 1: you see, you said.
29:29
Speaker 3: Earlier, every time something good happens for bill Belichick in
29:32
Speaker 3: the program, then something bad happens. I would argue nothing
29:36
Speaker 3: really that good happened until Saturday. That was.
29:40
Speaker 1: Clearly the best.
29:41
Speaker 3: Thing that has happened, Bone, since Bill Belichick's been at
29:44
Speaker 3: Carolina winning a game like that with the whole country
29:47
Speaker 3: watching against TCU. The good news is Michael Lombardi resigned. That,
29:53
Speaker 3: to me, you know, go get a real GM. And
29:56
Speaker 3: by the way, you probably can pay him half what
29:59
Speaker 3: you're paying Lombardi and get a GM that's 10 times
30:01
Speaker 3: better than Michael Lombardi. The timing of Lombardi resigning, Bone,
30:06
Speaker 3: does not seem to be a coincidence. It occurred just
30:10
Speaker 3: minutes before WRAL, Pat Welter and Brian Murphy dropped their
30:15
Speaker 3: investigative report into exactly what these lawyers at UNC hired
30:21
Speaker 3: to investigate the program are looking into. And it's a
30:24
Speaker 3: lot of stuff that if it turns out to be
30:26
Speaker 3: true is not good at all, man.
30:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like it wasn't just one thing that
30:33
Speaker 1: Lombardi was involved in. It was many things and many
30:35
Speaker 1: things that go beyond Lombardi. Just no control of the
30:41
Speaker 1: program back for a head coach. That is the ultimate
30:44
Speaker 1: control freak. Used to be. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's what
30:46
Speaker 1: I mean. That was the reputation. Belichick goes to college, Mac,
30:51
Speaker 1: and he does what a lot of college people do.
30:53
Speaker 1: He just lost his marbles. He started dating a college-age girl,
30:58
Speaker 1: and he just stopped focusing on stuff. The story of
31:01
Speaker 1: many a good man losing his focus at college. Belichick
31:04
Speaker 1: was that straight-A kid in high school that went to
31:06
Speaker 1: college and unraveled. All right, so here's the stuff, and again,
31:10
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it more in-depth. at seven o'clock, but
31:13
Speaker 1: here's some of the stuff in this WRAL report. Um,
31:17
Speaker 1: all right.
31:17
Speaker 3: So they hired, uh, independent lawyers bone, um, at UNC
31:22
Speaker 3: to investigate the entire football program. Um, uh, there, uh, some, uh,
31:27
Speaker 3: some of the investigation is focused on Steve Belichick. Um,
31:31
Speaker 3: they are, see what's up, what WRAL did bone is
31:34
Speaker 3: they talked to a lot of the people that have
31:36
Speaker 3: been spoken to, uh, In the investigation that have been
31:40
Speaker 3: asked questions in the investigation in a way of finding
31:43
Speaker 3: out what are they looking for? What are they asking
31:45
Speaker 3: questions about? One of the subjects is drug use on
31:50
Speaker 3: the job, potential drug use on the job by Steve Belichick.
31:54
Speaker 3: And of course, he's he's on leave right now. And
31:58
Speaker 3: whether or not he supplied drugs to at least one
32:02
Speaker 3: player on the team. That's one of the things that
32:04
Speaker 3: the questions are being asked about. Another thing that the
32:07
Speaker 3: questions are being asked about, a member of the UNC
32:10
Speaker 3: recruiting staff having a sexual relationship with a player. Another
32:15
Speaker 3: angle of the questioning that the lawyers are asking people
32:18
Speaker 3: about is do they have any knowledge of a sexual
32:20
Speaker 3: relationship between assistant coaches and the recruiting staff? So these
32:27
Speaker 3: are the things. But as you said, Bone, I mean,
32:29
Speaker 3: it's just if this stuff's true and if they're you know,
32:33
Speaker 3: if they find that all that this stuff was going on,
32:35
Speaker 3: it's just another example. I mean, of of a guy
32:39
Speaker 3: who is so buttoned up with the Patriots. And now
32:42
Speaker 3: it's like, do you have any idea? What's going on
32:45
Speaker 3: at your program? You know, or do you not care?
32:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were distracted on a football sense last year,
32:54
Speaker 1: but obviously you were also distracted from the off-the-field stuff
32:58
Speaker 1: going on around you. I know Finney got mad at
33:00
Speaker 1: times when he would pop up various places, but you
33:04
Speaker 1: know what? It turns out, like, were you... Did you
33:07
Speaker 1: put the program in the hands of people that simply
33:10
Speaker 1: could not do that? The Fox Sports radio guys last time,
33:14
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and Mike North, they had a whole thing
33:17
Speaker 1: where I saw it before it came on the air.
33:20
Speaker 1: They didn't think Belichick would last a year with these allegations.
33:23
Speaker 1: They think that he would get removed because these are
33:26
Speaker 1: such serious things. They got to finish the investigation, but
33:28
Speaker 1: it's bad stuff. His son, too? That's the thing. Lombardi's
33:32
Speaker 1: a close longtime friend.
33:34
Speaker 3: His son... is involved in this. Like, people very close
33:39
Speaker 3: to him. And they're doing this stuff behind his back?
33:43
Speaker 3: Or does he know and not care? He looked the
33:46
Speaker 3: other way because of who these guys were, right? And
33:48
Speaker 3: other people had to turn. So if other people didn't turn.
33:52
Speaker 1: these guys in or say something, he never would have
33:56
Speaker 1: said anything, would he? He would just let it keep going.
33:58
Speaker 3: Again, you're speculating here. We don't know. You know what
34:02
Speaker 3: I mean? We don't know. We also don't know for sure, Bone,
34:06
Speaker 3: if this stuff happened. We just know this is what,
34:08
Speaker 3: according to the WRAL report, this is what the lawyers
34:11
Speaker 3: are asking different people. This is what... They're looking into.
34:14
Speaker 3: So we'll we'll get back into it at seven o'clock.
34:17
Speaker 3: I want to see what Tar Heel fans think about this.
34:19
Speaker 1: I just hate it.
34:19
Speaker 3: It's an absolute buzzkill from the buzz of the TCU
34:22
Speaker 3: game back to this off the field crap. It's just
34:25
Speaker 3: unbelievable to me. I do want to mention this because
34:29
Speaker 3: we can we can get state fans mad to bone
34:31
Speaker 3: while we're at it here. State defensive coordinator D.J. Elliott
34:37
Speaker 3: admitted in a presser bone that he was not expecting
34:41
Speaker 3: that many design runs from Bo Pribula and Virginia last week.
34:50
Speaker 1: It was bad enough.
34:51
Speaker 3: That Popo Aguirre, his middle linebacker, kind of said, yeah,
34:54
Speaker 3: we knew he could run. We didn't expect that many
34:56
Speaker 3: design runs. DJ Elliott, you might have not wanted to
34:59
Speaker 3: admit this one publicly because everybody who knows anything about
35:04
Speaker 3: Bo Perbula.
35:05
Speaker 1: My God, why can't I say Perbula today? You're going
35:08
Speaker 1: your full Dusty Rhodes mode.
35:09
Speaker 2: Bo Peet.
35:10
Speaker 1: They got Bo Perbula. I can't say it. Little Bo Peet.
35:14
Speaker 3: Um, everybody knows he is a run first quarterback and
35:18
Speaker 3: the passing is the question mark bone. He averaged five
35:22
Speaker 3: design runs a game at Missouri last year. I think
35:26
Speaker 3: he should be ready for design runs. Yeah, he's not
35:29
Speaker 3: a freshman quarterback that came out. He's been around forever.
35:32
Speaker 3: You should know what he does well. There is film
35:35
Speaker 3: on him. He played all last year. How do you
35:38
Speaker 3: go the whole idea? For the defensive coordinator to say that?
35:42
Speaker 1: It's one thing if a player, like maybe they weren't
35:44
Speaker 1: focused and they weren't like Popo wasn't paying attention. Not good.
35:47
Speaker 1: But for the D.C. to say, oh, yeah, we weren't expecting.
35:50
Speaker 1: What were you doing all summer? Tell me! That's lame.
35:53
Speaker 1: What were you doing the entire summer if you didn't
35:56
Speaker 1: know that he runs by design? It's lame.
35:58
Speaker 2: Doing what they do best. Talk.
36:01
Speaker 1: It's lame.
36:02
Speaker 3: I cannot believe Phitty has the audacity to take shots
36:04
Speaker 3: at anybody after a WRAL piece.
36:06
Speaker 1: I kind of respect you, Phitty, a little bit. He's shameless.
36:09
Speaker 1: He's shameless.
36:10
Speaker 2: My program's 2-0, Matt. What you talking about?
36:12
Speaker 1: 2-0? Yeah, Lombardi got out.
36:14
Speaker 2: I'm counting that as a win.
36:16
Speaker 3: The problem is, is everybody else behind him at some point.
36:19
Speaker 3: And maybe that's good. Maybe that ultimately ends up being
36:21
Speaker 3: good for the program. They could also look, the NC
36:25
Speaker 3: State staff could also look at his Penn State tape bone,
36:28
Speaker 3: where in his last year there, they would use him
36:30
Speaker 3: as the short yardage quarterback that would, you know, run it,
36:33
Speaker 3: third and two, let me run a zone read. Design
36:36
Speaker 3: runs 32 times. He ran it more than he passed it.
36:39
Speaker 1: So.
36:41
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, man. It's bad enough y'all got fooled by
36:43
Speaker 3: something that should have been obvious. But then, DJ Elliott,
36:46
Speaker 3: when you go out, it's one thing when a college
36:48
Speaker 3: kid yaps. The coordinator just telling the whole world, yeah,
36:51
Speaker 3: we didn't know the design runs were coming. That's not
36:53
Speaker 3: a good look at.
36:54
Speaker 1: All, man. Mack, it's finally here. When we come back,
36:56
Speaker 1: it's the first installment of our Friday staple, the Couch
37:01
Speaker 1: Potato Guide. Myron Goodman's favorite segment for a very long time.
37:05
Speaker 1: Your guide to all the college football and sports news.
37:09
Speaker 1: on the television and streaming platforms this weekend on Sports
37:12
Speaker 1: Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Stop the things you say. Take a
37:14
Speaker 1: look who's playing.
37:19
Speaker 2: Stop and get the truth.
37:21
Speaker 1: Come on, you're ready too. The job is on my mind.
37:24
Speaker 1: When everything's all right. Tap on it, that's all day.
37:31
Speaker 1: Kickoff is on its way.
37:35
Speaker 3: First Radio 92.7 WFNZ. I'll have to ask a question
37:41
Speaker 3: later about something that Finney did here in the office.
37:44
Speaker 1: 92.7 The Creek.
37:45
Speaker 3: And I need to know if it would weird you
37:48
Speaker 3: out if a co-worker did this to you what he
37:50
Speaker 3: did to me.
37:51
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's going up later. He was very proud
37:54
Speaker 1: of this, and then he tried to talk me into this.
37:57
Speaker 1: And I was not– I didn't– I don't have time for–
38:02
Speaker 1: Tim Fullery in the morning. Tim Fullery. What about his brother, Tom?
38:05
Speaker 1: You got time for that? I've got time for that,
38:07
Speaker 1: but Tim, no. Oh, my goodness. Tom Fullery, that's right.
38:10
Speaker 1: Tom Fullery.
38:10
Speaker 3: Can we also tell our guy, who's our guy that's
38:12
Speaker 3: very stressed out about Brandon Miller?
38:14
Speaker 1: Find more deodorant. Find more deodorant is very stressed out.
38:18
Speaker 3: He sees that Amen Thompson got a big contract extension.
38:23
Speaker 3: There was an article written, I think, by Matt Alkeza
38:25
Speaker 3: that was saying, okay, is this a sign? Is this
38:29
Speaker 3: the kind of deal Brandon Miller might get? Um, Brandon
38:32
Speaker 3: Miller's extension eligible for the first time this off season. Um,
38:35
Speaker 3: I don't know why our guys very, very like freaked out.
38:39
Speaker 3: They he'll be, he'll be a restricted free agent next year.
38:42
Speaker 3: They do not risk losing him. If they don't sign
38:45
Speaker 3: him right now, maybe they want to see a healthy season.
38:49
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
38:49
Speaker 3: Maybe they want to see how that show, whatever their
38:51
Speaker 3: reasons be, but they, we don't need I'm captain freak out, man.
38:55
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you deodorant, man. We do not need
38:58
Speaker 3: to worry about one way or the other. If they
39:00
Speaker 3: sign him, I'm fully behind it, Bone. If they don't,
39:04
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the end of the world either.
39:05
Speaker 3: They have until the first day of the regular season.
39:08
Speaker 3: And then, as you mentioned, then if not, they go
39:11
Speaker 3: into next offseason. He feels that he's not part of
39:14
Speaker 3: the Hornets' plan because they haven't done it yet. I
39:18
Speaker 3: don't know why of all days we're talking about this
39:20
Speaker 3: right now.
39:21
Speaker 1: Deodorant. Keep the radio on. We good, baby. But go
39:24
Speaker 1: outside for a little bit of a walk and get
39:25
Speaker 1: some fresh air. Or put on some fresh deody. We good, baby.
39:29
Speaker 1: We are good. Put on some Old Spice, man. Chill out.
39:31
Speaker 1: Hang out. It's football time. All right. So speaking of
39:34
Speaker 1: football time, let's do it.
39:36
Speaker 3: This is a weekly segment once football is back because
39:41

Speaker 3: may be a pretty entertaining game there yeah that's a
41:35
Speaker 3: good sleeper game you've been talking about like that one

Speaker 3: could be better maybe than the average fan thinks it
41:40
Speaker 3: might be by 16 and a half on miami's favorite
41:42
Speaker 3: to win the mac Afternoon games, Boney, in that afternoon window.
41:48
Speaker 3: We've got, let's see here. Let's hit you with the
41:51
Speaker 3: most important stuff first. Duke playing against Tulane ACC Network
41:55
Speaker 3: at 3.30. You have the ESPN Plus games for Charlotte.
41:59
Speaker 3: If you're not at the Charlotte game tomorrow at the
42:03
Speaker 3: Jerry at 3.30 against the Citadel, it's on ESPN Plus.

Speaker 3: App State, if you're not at in Boone tomorrow for
42:09
Speaker 3: the game against Maine at 3.30, It's on ESPN +.
42:12
Speaker 3: Then you've got a couple of games that are the
42:14
Speaker 3: biggest games in this window nationally. Auburn versus Baylor. That
42:19
Speaker 3: is ABC. And then you have Oregon and Boise State.
42:23
Speaker 3: That's the CBS 330 game. Yeah, we'll be focused on
42:27
Speaker 3: the three local games. It's not the best slate, Mac,
42:31
Speaker 3: for a week number one here. But you never know.
42:34
Speaker 1: Like we said before, sometimes when college football doesn't appear
42:37
Speaker 1: on paper like it's the best, who really knows what
42:40
Speaker 1: could actually happen in some of these games. Something crazy
42:43
Speaker 1: will happen. It's just a matter of where, right? No doubt.
42:46
Speaker 3: Texas, Penn State, Georgia all playing in that window, too. Tennessee,
42:50
Speaker 3: who Jordan Rodgers, for some reason, as a 46-point favorite,
42:53
Speaker 3: said should be on upset alert.
42:55
Speaker 1: Upset alert. Said they should be on upset alert against
42:57
Speaker 1: the Paladins of Furman. Upset alert.
42:59
Speaker 3: Anyway, they're all 330 as well. The evening games on
43:03
Speaker 3: Saturday night. The headliner, obviously, Clemson LSU. We're going to
43:07
Speaker 3: talk so much about that again today. That's at 7.30
43:10
Speaker 3: on ABC. You have 54-point favorite Virginia Tech against VMI
43:17
Speaker 3: on the ACC Network.
43:19
Speaker 1: You have Florida, Florida Atlantic, SEC Network.
43:21
Speaker 3: Bone Man, this is another game that you called a
43:24
Speaker 3: Bone Man sleeper special.
43:26
Speaker 1: This is a real....
43:29
Speaker 3: Like, low-key good game, I think. UCLA at Cal on
43:33
Speaker 3: ESPN Saturday night at 1030.
43:34
Speaker 1: That linebacker has moved three points since it opened. It
43:37
Speaker 1: was Cal favored, but people jumped on UCLA to be
43:42
Speaker 1: favored now by a couple points. Interesting. Interesting. I'm high
43:47
Speaker 1: on Cal being a little dangerous this year. So I
43:50
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what my bet might be,
43:52
Speaker 1: but I think that's going to be a very good
43:53
Speaker 1: for not the most loaded slate. I think that'll be
43:56
Speaker 1: one of the better games of the day. If you're
43:59
Speaker 1: a football guy and you're staying awake at 1030, of
44:01
Speaker 1: course I will be. That is. I'm going to watch
44:03
Speaker 1: that the next morning.
44:05
Speaker 3: That's an easy one to hit record on as you're
44:07
Speaker 3: dozing off and catch it in the morning.
44:09
Speaker 1: That's when Fitty will come back home from the party
44:11
Speaker 1: and stumble in and watch that one. Or will Fitty
44:13
Speaker 1: not come back home? Anyway, I digress. I digress. Cloud
44:15
Speaker 1: will be waiting for you.
44:17
Speaker 3: Also, Charlotte FC, if you're not going out to watch
44:20
Speaker 3: the match at the bank tomorrow against the number two
44:22
Speaker 3: team in the West, the Houston Dynamo, you can watch
44:25
Speaker 3: it on Apple tomorrow, 7.30. Then we get to Sunday, Bo.
44:28
Speaker 3: We've got three college football games on Sunday. You've got
44:31
Speaker 3: the Apple Cup. um on nbc at four o'clock washington
44:35
Speaker 3: state washington then you have um notre dame wisconsin 7
44:40
Speaker 3: 30 on sunday night on nbc the exact same time
44:44
Speaker 3: old miss louisville 7 30 on abc.
44:47
Speaker 1: And with all that going on darlington's at five right
44:50
Speaker 1: on sunday so you've got darlington and the apple cup
44:53
Speaker 1: right into a uh Well, Notre Dame-Wisconsin at Lambeau, that
44:58
Speaker 1: may not be pretty, but Ole Miss-Louisville, only ranked matchup
45:01
Speaker 1: of the weekend. That right there will probably, in my estimation,
45:05
Speaker 1: be the most entertaining offensive fireworks. That'll be a fun
45:09
Speaker 1: football game Sunday night. No doubt, man. No doubt about it.
45:13
Speaker 3: And then Monday will be the Florida State-SMU game, that
45:17
Speaker 3: Labor Day game on Monday night. Need to mention, Bone,
45:22
Speaker 3: we will be working on Monday. We will be here,
45:25
Speaker 3: so we'll be able to talk about FSU and SMU,
45:28
Speaker 3: and we'll recap the entire weekend on Monday's Mac and
45:31
Speaker 3: Bone show.
45:32
Speaker 1: Absolutely. When we come back, that is the Couch Potato Guy,
45:35
Speaker 1: but up next... Is the TCU goodwill gone for the heels?
45:41
Speaker 1: Because we have to talk about the newest UNC football
45:45
Speaker 1: off-the-field mess. That saga rolls on. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
