- 0:02Speaker 1: Bueno, como esta?
- 0:04Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, here's Mike and Bo.
- 0:07Speaker 3: You guys are the most entertaining sports program in the world.
- 0:12Speaker 4: Drop it, Bo.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Drop it, baby.
- 0:13Speaker 4: No, no, stop twerking.
- 0:15Speaker 1: You and I are a couple eating, like, Lady and
- 0:17Speaker 1: the Tramp. You're the lady on the tramp. Yeah!
- 0:20Speaker 3: Cabo!
- 0:21Speaker 1: Cabo, baby!
- 0:22Speaker 4: I wish I was Boopy. Boopy McClain, man. That's a
- 0:25Speaker 4: great name.
- 0:25Speaker 3: All aboard!
- 0:42Speaker 1: Good morning, Charlotte. Welcome aboard.
- 0:44Speaker 5: It's a Labor Day edition of the Mac and Bone Show,
- 0:46Speaker 5: but you're never laboring when you're talking college football, unless,
- 0:49Speaker 5: of course, you are a Clemson fan today or a
- 0:52Speaker 5: Charlotte 49er fan.
- 0:54Speaker 4: Those were.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Really, really bad Saturdays. Oh, my goodness.
- 1:00Speaker 5: At least the Charlotte game was a fun one to
- 1:02Speaker 5: watch and an entertaining one. Clemson, on the other hand,
- 1:04Speaker 5: not so much. We will talk all about them today.
- 1:08Speaker 5: We've got to talk about the Kendall Bryles offensive coordinator debut,
- 1:13Speaker 5: a very successful one with 57 points. Duke's got a
- 1:17Speaker 5: run game in a defense, maybe? I don't know about
- 1:21Speaker 5: the passing game. App State rolls over Maine. They've got
- 1:25Speaker 5: ECU coming up this week. ECU collected a check in Bama.
- 1:30Speaker 5: I will say that. And we've got much, much more
- 1:33Speaker 5: to get into. Lane Kiffin no longer the biggest controversy
- 1:37Speaker 5: in college football. The Big Ten's got that one on
- 1:39Speaker 5: their hands after Michigan with a Hail Mary on the
- 1:44Speaker 5: second chance. We'll talk about it all on the Mac
- 1:46Speaker 5: and Bone Show. And oh, by the way, Louisville puts
- 1:49Speaker 5: up a fight, loses on a walk-off field goal to
- 1:52Speaker 5: Ole Miss. If you did not stay up last night
- 1:55Speaker 5: in that game in Nashville, we'll talk about that one
- 1:58Speaker 5: and Notre Dame's second half blowout of Wisconsin. We got
- 2:01Speaker 5: some Panther stuff to discuss. It's game week, baby. It's
- 2:05Speaker 5: Bears week. Panthers back at practice today, and they open
- 2:08Speaker 5: on Sunday. So we got a lot of stuff to
- 2:09Speaker 5: talk about here today on the Mac and Bone Show.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Fitty is in the house. The Bone Man in the house.
- 2:17Speaker 5: And most importantly, we don't know how many of you,
- 2:20Speaker 5: but most importantly, some of you are with us early
- 2:23Speaker 5: on a Labor Day. And we appreciate that. Bonesy, what's happening, man?
- 2:26Speaker 4: What's going on?
- 2:26Speaker 1: It's good to be in Labor with you today here,
- 2:31Speaker 1: talking a lot of football. Also wanted to say, what's up, Dabrow?
- 2:38Speaker 1: I thought Dabo was your guy, Bo. Did you enjoy
- 2:42Speaker 1: Saturday night? Dabo.
- 2:44Speaker 5: I thought you were a hold that tiger man. I
- 2:46Speaker 5: bet you found a way to enjoy that, didn't you?
- 2:48Speaker 1: Well, once it really started to get away, I started
- 2:50Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I'll just enjoy it with
- 2:51Speaker 1: everybody else. I'm in a good mood today, though. I
- 2:55Speaker 1: got teams that are winning. I am feeling good and,
- 2:58Speaker 1: dare I say, downright frisky here on a week one,
- 3:02Speaker 1: not only of a college football recap. The Panthers start
- 3:06Speaker 1: on Sunday. Tara cooked for me last night.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Oh, look at you, Bo.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Look at you. Chicken and dumplings. She had some all-time
- 3:14Speaker 1: dumplings going last night.
- 3:16Speaker 6: Right?
- 3:16Speaker 4: That's kind of personal.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I should bring them in until you try your dumplings
- 3:21Speaker 1: at some point. It was unbelievable.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Well, hey, I'm glad to hear it, Bo. And I
- 3:25Speaker 5: am glad to hear things worked out for you. The
- 3:29Speaker 5: Duke slash South Carolina man enjoyed those wins on Saturday.
- 3:35Speaker 5: Those are the only two.
- 3:36Speaker 4: That's it.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Only two.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Enough.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Not a third one.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Those two. It wasn't a team last night that played. Two.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Two teams. No golden bone today, man.
- 3:47Speaker 1: But I was happy for Boudreaux Boudreauxs and Fighting Irish
- 3:51Speaker 1: last night.
- 3:51Speaker 6: Okay, okay.
- 3:52Speaker 5: All right, let's talk about it, man. Let's talk about it.
- 3:55Speaker 5: We got all day to just mix it up. I mean,
- 3:59Speaker 5: the national media saying goodbye to Dabo yet again. The
- 4:04Speaker 5: Charlotte thing must be discussed. I mean, that is just...
- 4:08Speaker 5: I hate it because Tim Albin seems like the nicest guy,
- 4:11Speaker 5: but that is the most brutal way possible to start
- 4:15Speaker 5: the year two where he needs to rebound. Well, let's
- 4:19Speaker 5: start with last night's games in case you missed them.
- 4:23Speaker 5: It was two different games in Nashville last night, Bone.
- 4:26Speaker 5: The first half, the defenses were keeping... Both teams in check.
- 4:30Speaker 5: Ole Miss led 10-6 at the half. People thought Louisville's
- 4:35Speaker 5: transfer QB from Ohio State was terrible. And then the
- 4:39Speaker 5: second half happened, Bone. It was absolute shootout. 63 combined
- 4:44Speaker 5: points in the second half of this game. And Lincoln
- 4:49Speaker 5: Keenholz came alive. He's also tough as hell, this kid.
- 4:52Speaker 4: He is, man.
- 4:52Speaker 5: And he dueled Trinidad Chambliss in this one. Louisville came
- 4:58Speaker 5: from 14 down in about the last five minutes. Got
- 5:01Speaker 5: two touchdown drives to tie it. But Trinidad, the combination
- 5:06Speaker 5: of Trinidad Chambliss and this damn kicker at Ole Miss, Carnero,
- 5:14Speaker 5: that's a lethal combination late in games because Chambliss can
- 5:18Speaker 5: get you in field goal range forever. with a minute
- 5:20Speaker 5: and a half left, and that kid is money. He
- 5:23Speaker 5: hit the game-winner walk-off field goal for Ole Miss, but
- 5:27Speaker 5: that game was amazing last night, and that's a pretty
- 5:30Speaker 5: damn good showing by Louisville.
- 5:31Speaker 1: It was. They showed me, Mac, almost as much in
- 5:33Speaker 1: a loss as anything that they are. I think now,
- 5:37Speaker 1: in my mind, a playoff-caliber team. Their quarterback, you're right,
- 5:42Speaker 1: tough as nail. First start since high school. I believe
- 5:45Speaker 1: Finney told us Flounder wrote him off in the third
- 5:47Speaker 1: quarter that he sucks.
- 5:48Speaker 5: If you get written off by Flounder, the rest of
- 5:50Speaker 5: your life will be amazing. It'll be a magic carpet ride.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Then he goes off the only matchup of ranked teams
- 5:57Speaker 1: all weekend and took a while to get going, but
- 6:00Speaker 1: it lived up to it. And there is a showdown
- 6:03Speaker 1: in two weeks between Louisville and SMU. That is going
- 6:07Speaker 1: to be a hell of a football game coming up.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Did you know, were you trying to do that? Were
- 6:12Speaker 1: you trying to do that there? We're trying to what?
- 6:14Speaker 5: There's a show, because you say, there's a showdown coming
- 6:17Speaker 5: up in two weeks. I thought for sure you were
- 6:20Speaker 5: talking about Ole Miss and LSU.
- 6:21Speaker 4: No, I was.
- 6:22Speaker 1: You dropped it. We are an ACC country. I was
- 6:25Speaker 1: just talking within the ACC.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a big game. At Louisville, by the way.
- 6:29Speaker 1: At Louisville, two teams. We'll see SMU tonight and how
- 6:31Speaker 1: that goes, but... I mean, that's a huge matchup and
- 6:34Speaker 1: a huge showcase kind of matchup for the ACC.
- 6:37Speaker 4: The rare one this year that won't involve Miami, by
- 6:39Speaker 4: the way.
- 6:40Speaker 5: You think they're going to involve Clemson, the showcase matchups
- 6:43Speaker 5: this year. Anyway, I digress.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Clemson's headed towards maybe an ESPN Plus showing here at
- 6:48Speaker 1: some point. ESPN Plus. No disrespect, there's a lot of
- 6:51Speaker 1: great teams back that end up on there, like the Citadel.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Citadel looked really good. Anyway, yeah, I like this Keen
- 6:58Speaker 1: Holes kid, man. First half, I'm not going to lie
- 7:00Speaker 1: to you, he missed some throws that could have been
- 7:02Speaker 1: huge play, especially the big one down the seam. And
- 7:05Speaker 1: I was a little worried because their defense in that
- 7:08Speaker 1: half with Lubin and those guys up front looked amazing.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Lacey gets hurt in the second half. That didn't matter.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Chambliss said, I will carry you to this victory. But
- 7:18Speaker 1: Keen Holes was right there matching him, play for play,
- 7:22Speaker 1: point for point. He really got the ball downfield as
- 7:25Speaker 1: the second half continued. His ability to combine with the two.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Browns in the running game is going to be phenomenal.
- 7:33Speaker 5: absurd this year in the ACC um yeah they I
- 7:37Speaker 5: I didn't know it would be 79 points bone but
- 7:40Speaker 5: I thought Louisville could give them a game and they
- 7:44Speaker 5: did I I like I think Louisville will prove to
- 7:47Speaker 5: be the second best team in the ACC but it
- 7:50Speaker 5: is a wee bit early SMU's gonna want to say
- 7:52Speaker 5: something about that um and I'm sure Virginia is gonna
- 7:55Speaker 5: want to say something about.
- 7:55Speaker 1: That also got something there with the uh Richardson the
- 7:58Speaker 1: kid at why the Vanderbilt transfer big time one of
- 8:00Speaker 1: Pavia's guys he had uh, 806 yards receiving last year.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I mean, that's a, that's another guy on top of the, uh,
- 8:08Speaker 1: of both Browns that, man, Louisville is going to be,
- 8:12Speaker 1: I think, really, really good this year.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Big plays, man, from Richardson. He had the long touchdown catch,
- 8:20Speaker 5: 62 yards, and then he had an end around for
- 8:23Speaker 5: 30 yards as well. And I just love watching the
- 8:27Speaker 5: way Braum– this is what a great coach does. Normally
- 8:31Speaker 5: he doesn't bring– he hasn't had a quarterback bone that
- 8:34Speaker 5: is this good of a runner. That I can, you know,
- 8:38Speaker 5: recently hear, right? The last bunch of transfers. So what
- 8:43Speaker 5: does he do? He adjusts the offense. That end around
- 8:46Speaker 5: to Richardson, I mean, the way he can, you know,
- 8:49Speaker 5: have the end around threat, you've got these two backs,
- 8:52Speaker 5: like the end around worked because they were keying on
- 8:55Speaker 5: the backs.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:57Speaker 5: Keen holes had a huge run up the middle where
- 8:58Speaker 5: he faked the end around. He kept it right up
- 9:00Speaker 5: the middle. I'm telling you, I think this team's going
- 9:03Speaker 5: to be freaking good, man. I really do.
- 9:05Speaker 1: It feels, I know they didn't win last time, but
- 9:07Speaker 1: entering the game last night, Mack Braum was 26 and
- 9:11Speaker 1: 15 in his career as an underdog coach. He always
- 9:14Speaker 1: plays everybody very, very well, no matter the opponent. Didn't win,
- 9:18Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like Louisville fans should have their
- 9:22Speaker 1: head down today. Although I don't really know, Mac, many
- 9:24Speaker 1: Louisville fans. That's one fan base I couldn't tell you
- 9:28Speaker 1: if I've ever interacted with a Louisville fan before.
- 9:31Speaker 4: I don't think I have. Do we have one on
- 9:32Speaker 4: the text line? You'd think we would.
- 9:33Speaker 1: They're not that far away. Isn't there a Smitty from
- 9:36Speaker 1: Kentucky or something like that? I thought he was a
- 9:38Speaker 1: Kentucky fan. Is he a Louisville fan? Is he not
- 9:40Speaker 1: in Louisville? Is that the guy that's kind of a jerk,
- 9:42Speaker 1: or am I seeing another Smitty on the text line?
- 9:43Speaker 1: I don't know, man.
- 9:45Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 9:45Speaker 5: I have a list of Smittys here. I'm not sure
- 9:47Speaker 5: which one's which. I have a stat here, Fitty, from
- 9:50Speaker 5: the Live Sports Bureau. Bone thinks 72% of you texters
- 9:54Speaker 5: are jerks. That's a stat I just came up with.
- 9:58Speaker 5: There's a Smitty that's a little bit weird.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Hostile.
- 10:01Speaker 5: On the text line. It's like stirring it up, Bone.
- 10:03Speaker 5: They like rattling your cage like old Dale Senior used to.
- 10:06Speaker 5: I've got no losses on my docket. I'm on a run.
- 10:10Speaker 5: Winning money off Picante's picks?
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm out.
- 10:13Speaker 4: Picante wins another week, baby. Two and one.
- 10:15Speaker 5: Notre Dame yesterday, Boney, won the prettiest first half in
- 10:20Speaker 5: the world. And I actually saw some Notre Dame fan
- 10:24Speaker 5: slash blog guy that tweeted out how horrible Notre Dame's
- 10:29Speaker 5: running game was without the two first-round backs.
- 10:32Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw this. I didn't see
- 10:35Speaker 4: that tweet.
- 10:35Speaker 1: O-line. O-line.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Garbage.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Garbage. Was it Flounder?
- 10:40Speaker 1: Another year without a national title.
- 10:42Speaker 6: Okay.
- 10:42Speaker 1: I think it was fighting Flounders, fighting Irish Flounder.
- 10:46Speaker 5: But anyway, the second half came, Bone, and they got
- 10:49Speaker 5: the running game going in the second half with Aeneas Williams,
- 10:55Speaker 5: and Carr had a really solid game, and that defense
- 10:58Speaker 5: started making plays. McKinney, the Colorado transfer with a pick six.
- 11:03Speaker 5: I thought their DBs were flying all over the field.
- 11:07Speaker 5: I really thought those guys were impressive. That kid Aiden Shuler,
- 11:12Speaker 5: who Notre Dame fans smoked, texted me and said, this
- 11:14Speaker 5: is a Dan Morgan-type safety. You ain't kidding, man. He
- 11:18Speaker 5: shows up with bad intentions. Leonard Moore made plays. He's
- 11:21Speaker 5: their big All-American. 41-13. So it wasn't the greatest first half,
- 11:27Speaker 5: but by the end bone, they covered the spread with
- 11:29Speaker 5: a touchdown to spare.
- 11:30Speaker 1: It was a systematic dismantling. It was more of a
- 11:33Speaker 1: eventually they got there. It took a while. It took
- 11:37Speaker 1: a while. Flounder O'Malley, Mac, was the guy's name. He's
- 11:41Speaker 1: the Irish version of Flounder. I think every fan base
- 11:44Speaker 1: has a Flounder. Maybe the guy did go a little
- 11:47Speaker 1: bit quick in the reaction. I will say, the one
- 11:49Speaker 1: question I have and the one question about Notre Dame,
- 11:52Speaker 1: for them to be at the level we think that
- 11:55Speaker 1: they should be at, it's not replacing just one first-round back,
- 11:59Speaker 1: as you said. It's replacing... two first-round backs. And to me,
- 12:02Speaker 1: that will be– Carr will elevate the offense, but they
- 12:05Speaker 1: have to figure out how to replace not only one
- 12:07Speaker 1: star running back, but two of them.
- 12:09Speaker 4: I think what you do is I think Carr takes
- 12:11Speaker 4: on a greater load.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Right.
- 12:13Speaker 5: And the running game, they're not as run-centric. And I
- 12:17Speaker 5: think as a result, you know what I mean, it
- 12:20Speaker 5: still kind of works out for them. The defense, I
- 12:22Speaker 5: don't think anybody thinks that defense is going to be
- 12:24Speaker 5: anything but damn good. As somebody, Bone, that has picked
- 12:27Speaker 5: Notre Dame in his title game, I still feel like
- 12:28Speaker 5: everything is in place there. I also picked Oregon to
- 12:30Speaker 5: win the title, and that was.
- 12:44Speaker 4: That one was looking dicey there for a while, Bonesy.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It was. Notre Dame's gauntlet, though, continues, Matt. They have
- 12:51Speaker 1: Rice coming up on Saturday.
- 12:53Speaker 4: First six opponents had losing records last year.
- 12:55Speaker 5: They said that on the broadcast last night so proudly.
- 12:58Speaker 5: The Notre Dame Broadcasting Company was so proud. They could
- 13:01Speaker 5: get off to a hot start this year, unlike last year.
- 13:04Speaker 5: They do have BYU, Miami, and SMU later on into
- 13:09Speaker 5: the season.
- 13:10Speaker 1: That's their... Three toughest ones, it appears.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:13Speaker 5: No offense to North Carolina. I would phrase it this way.
- 13:15Speaker 5: That is their three tough games.
- 13:18Speaker 4: There you go.
- 13:19Speaker 1: I'm not sure there's another one, Bone, on that schedule.
- 13:22Speaker 4: Sorry, Heels. Sorry, Heels. Sorry, Purdue. I do wonder, though.
- 13:26Speaker 4: I do wonder, Bone.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Could the.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Heels have something for it? Little old Clemson. I was
- 13:34Speaker 5: wondering that Saturday.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Little old Clemson.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Phinney is already saying it off the air.
- 13:38Speaker 5: So anyway, I do wonder about that. NASCAR at Darlington
- 13:43Speaker 5: for the Southern 500 yesterday. A brief red flag for rain,
- 13:48Speaker 5: but they were late. in this race, but they were
- 13:51Speaker 5: able to finish this thing off. Christopher Bell. What an
- 13:55Speaker 5: amazing regular season in that Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson,
- 13:58Speaker 5: neither one had won a damn race in the regular season.
- 14:02Speaker 5: And for a while there, I thought Kyle Larson might
- 14:04Speaker 5: take care of that. It ended up being Christopher Bell.
- 14:07Speaker 5: He ran Larson down after a bizarre. Bizarre. Lack of
- 14:12Speaker 5: pit strategy, actually. They did not pit with 25 plus
- 14:16Speaker 5: laps to go with about 25 laps on their tires
- 14:21Speaker 5: at Darlington.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's a cheese grater to tires. I didn't really understand
- 14:27Speaker 1: that one.
- 14:27Speaker 5: Since he is such a ridiculous skilled driver, he was
- 14:30Speaker 5: able to hold on and finish fifth. Out of it,
- 14:33Speaker 5: dropped from first to fifth. Christopher Bell ends up getting
- 14:36Speaker 5: his first win. Beautiful timing. It happens in the chase,
- 14:40Speaker 5: and things got a little tight in the points bone
- 14:43Speaker 5: because Danny Hamlin had himself some issues and did not
- 14:47Speaker 5: have a good night. So the pack kind of closed
- 14:49Speaker 5: in on him as the No.
- 14:51Speaker 1: 1 seed.
- 14:52Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you're right.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing watching the race. If
- 14:56Speaker 1: you would have told us someone got their first win,
- 14:59Speaker 1: I would have said, oh, Max Guy, Kyle Larson, finally
- 15:01Speaker 1: got the win. But no, it's Bell that gets the win.
- 15:04Speaker 1: But that was huge for Bell. And it is wild
- 15:08Speaker 1: that we got all the way to September and neither
- 15:11Speaker 1: one of those drivers had a win yet.
- 15:13Speaker 5: The Larson thing, Fitty, is easier to understand because as
- 15:16Speaker 5: you and me have lamented as Hendrick Motorsports fans, those
- 15:19Speaker 5: cars ain't fast. near the Toyotas. Although, Larson, that's the
- 15:23Speaker 5: most speed he showed in a long time. That was
- 15:27Speaker 5: pretty damn encouraging, getting out front, pulling away like that.
- 15:30Speaker 5: But it wasn't to be. But for Bell to be
- 15:35Speaker 5: in the year of the Yotas?
- 15:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:37Speaker 4: And not have a damn win? I know they had.
- 15:40Speaker 5: To tick him off to watch all his other Toyota
- 15:42Speaker 5: brothers win, but he got it yesterday in a crown
- 15:45Speaker 5: jewel race.
- 15:46Speaker 7: Entered last night with, what, six second-place finishes this season?
- 15:49Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been right there.
- 15:50Speaker 7: So he's been knocking on the door. You mentioned, you know,
- 15:53Speaker 7: the strategy of Larson. How about Chase Elliott, Mac? Not
- 15:57Speaker 7: a great car, was in position to get a top ten,
- 16:00Speaker 7: and then didn't understand what they were doing on pit road,
- 16:03Speaker 7: thought they were taking two.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Going to get four, nearly runs over a.
- 16:07Speaker 7: Pit crew member, gave up almost 14 track position spots,
- 16:14Speaker 7: entered the red flag inside the top 10, comes back 18th.
- 16:18Speaker 7: And with the point system now, the margin for error
- 16:21Speaker 7: is too thin. Yeah, that's a.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Lot of points that matter. You can't give up those
- 16:26Speaker 1: many spots.
- 16:27Speaker 7: My brother, though, who's a Denny Hamlin fan, texted me
- 16:30Speaker 7: after the race saying, Saying, quote, the Denny Hamlin show
- 16:33Speaker 7: job begins.
- 16:34Speaker 4: I mean, what's he supposed to do? I don't know,
- 16:38Speaker 4: but I'm here for it.
- 16:39Speaker 5: It's like, if you want to say the bad luck
- 16:41Speaker 5: for Denny Hamlin during the postseason starts again, but I
- 16:46Speaker 5: don't know if you could blame Denny Hamlin for what
- 16:48Speaker 5: was going on there with the issues with the car.
- 16:50Speaker 7: And we have to monitor Carson Hosovar next week with
- 16:53Speaker 7: Brad Keselowski because the six car.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Was not very happy.
- 16:58Speaker 5: Here's the deal. I would actually, yeah, he wrecked him
- 17:01Speaker 5: pretty much. Bone, I have a list over here of
- 17:05Speaker 5: the cars that you have to monitor with Carson Hosvar.
- 17:08Speaker 5: It's actually shorter to just name the list of cars
- 17:11Speaker 5: who aren't pissed off at that dude. Actually, NASCAR officials
- 17:14Speaker 5: have to watch their own cars in case he hits
- 17:16Speaker 5: them by accident.
- 17:17Speaker 4: Again, he's good.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Like a Prius. He was in a Prius yesterday.
- 17:20Speaker 5: He's good for the sport, but if you're driving against him,
- 17:24Speaker 5: You probably hate his guts.
- 17:27Speaker 1: He is the new Chastain. Well, 100%. And again, NASCAR
- 17:32Speaker 1: needs those guys. But imagine if you're driving and that
- 17:36Speaker 1: dude gets you and he just got, through the course
- 17:39Speaker 1: of the season, about 32 other guys.
- 17:41Speaker 4: They should just have Chastain.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Shadow him around and just when he's about to do something,
- 17:45Speaker 1: Chastain then goes full Chastain. Almost like, Mac, when you
- 17:49Speaker 1: draft like Thomas Davis got drafted to spy Michael Vick.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Chastain right now should just be the spy on O.S.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Mars.
- 17:55Speaker 5: He makes Chastain look like Jeff Burton or Mark Martin,
- 17:58Speaker 5: the most gentlemanly drivers ever. I mean, seriously, it's crazy
- 18:03Speaker 5: right now. Do need to mention the Braves rally yesterday, Bone.
- 18:08Speaker 5: I'm not going to lie to you. In the weekend
- 18:09Speaker 5: of football, I did not watch the Braves until yesterday,
- 18:12Speaker 5: but I turned it on at a great time. They
- 18:14Speaker 5: were down 4-1. Shortly thereafter, Acuna hits the eighth inning.
- 18:19Speaker 5: Three-run homer to tie it. And then Austin Riley with
- 18:23Speaker 5: the RBI triple. Iglesias strands a runner at third to
- 18:27Speaker 5: get the save. I do know Chris Sale was putting
- 18:30Speaker 5: money on Friday night. So the Braves have won two
- 18:32Speaker 5: of three. with the final game going on at 1
- 18:37Speaker 5: o'clock today. A little Labor Day matinee.
- 18:40Speaker 1: A split does nothing for the Phillies as they try
- 18:43Speaker 1: to catch the Braves. And that's the best they can do. Yeah,
- 18:45Speaker 1: the best they can do. So the Braves are doing
- 18:48Speaker 1: their part already this weekend. Acuna Mack on that homer
- 18:52Speaker 1: now has 1,000 career hits, 200 homers, 200 steals. He's
- 18:57Speaker 1: only the second brave with those numbers outside of Hank Aaron.
- 19:01Speaker 1: And this is a guy who's missed a lot of
- 19:03Speaker 1: time and has had to come back from a lot
- 19:05Speaker 1: of things, but yet he still put up those Hank
- 19:07Speaker 1: Aaron numbers. Yeah, so much talent, man. So much damn talent.
- 19:12Speaker 1: It's good to see him getting going. He needs to
- 19:17Speaker 1: get going.
- 19:17Speaker 5: He could take their game to another level. And by
- 19:19Speaker 5: the way, that dude Malley that they picked up that
- 19:22Speaker 5: everybody thought was garbage, he had another good outing.
- 19:25Speaker 4: He's been outstanding. I'm not sure he's had one bad
- 19:27Speaker 4: outing since he joined.
- 19:28Speaker 1: No, he's been exactly what they needed.
- 19:29Speaker 4: How is that happening?
- 19:32Speaker 1: I have no idea. Change of coast, change of uniforms,
- 19:35Speaker 1: change of coaching staff. Reminds me a couple years ago
- 19:38Speaker 1: when they picked up Reynaldo Lopez, who had been sort
- 19:41Speaker 1: of meandering through his career, and then all of a
- 19:43Speaker 1: sudden they got him, and he went off there for
- 19:45Speaker 1: a little while. When we come back, Matt, we recap
- 19:48Speaker 1: Saturday in college football. We check in on Brutal Island,
- 19:51Speaker 1: where Clemson and Charlotte have landed, South Carolina, App and
- 19:55Speaker 1: Duke with wins, and it wouldn't be a college football
- 19:57Speaker 1: weekend without a big old controversy with a Big Ten
- 20:01Speaker 1: Hail Mary.
- 20:02Speaker 4: We'll talk about that and more. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 20:29Speaker 6: Just got outplayed, outcoached in every facet tonight, and there's
- 20:32Speaker 6: no other way to say it. And so, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 6: congratulations again to LSU. Congratulations to Coach Kiffin and their staff.
- 20:39Speaker 6: They did a great job. And coming into this environment,
- 20:42Speaker 6: you know, you've got to try to, you know, capture
- 20:45Speaker 6: the momentum when you get an opportunity, and we didn't
- 20:47Speaker 6: do that. We had a miscue on a third and
- 20:51Speaker 6: two early, ended up making the field goal. And then obviously, again,
- 20:54Speaker 6: the pick six was a game changer, kind of killed
- 20:56Speaker 6: the mow big time. And then, you know, we had
- 21:00Speaker 6: some missed tackles where we were in position to make
- 21:02Speaker 6: the play and we didn't make the play. But at
- 21:04Speaker 6: the end of the day, we did not do what
- 21:07Speaker 6: we needed to do to win a football game like
- 21:09Speaker 6: this or give ourselves a chance.
- 21:11Speaker 5: I think that's fair to say. No doubt about it.
- 21:13Speaker 5: That's Dabo Sweeney after the game. He got to the microphone.
- 21:16Speaker 5: The first thing he said was, best thing about that
- 21:19Speaker 5: is it's over. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, Clemson fans.
- 21:25Speaker 5: I wanted you to beat the dastardly Lane Kiffin. I
- 21:27Speaker 5: at least wanted you to have a performance that had
- 21:32Speaker 5: you as a Tiger fan thinking, all right, we competed.
- 21:36Speaker 5: And damn if bone. The game starts with an Ashton
- 21:40Speaker 5: Hampton interception. Now, the offense settles for a field goal.
- 21:44Speaker 5: Little did we know. Of course, they did. You could
- 21:48Speaker 5: give them the ball boned at the 10. I'm not sure.
- 21:50Speaker 5: They would have scored a touchdown. Still a meaningless drive
- 21:53Speaker 5: late in the game. But they at least get points
- 21:55Speaker 5: on the board first. After that, LSU scores 51 straight points.
- 22:01Speaker 5: That was crazy. It was one of the nastiest looking
- 22:04Speaker 5: box scores ever. And it actually made it a little
- 22:07Speaker 5: better towards the end, believe it or not. That final drive.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Yeah. There was one point, Mac, I'm trying to remember
- 22:12Speaker 1: the exact number. It was LSU with like 250 rush yards,
- 22:16Speaker 1: and I think Clemson had minus one or something of
- 22:19Speaker 1: that nature. I don't know exactly the exact number that
- 22:21Speaker 1: LSU had, but there were so many numbers. It's the
- 22:25Speaker 1: largest loss for Dabo in 241 games. They had eight
- 22:30Speaker 1: first downs, their fewest since October of 2006, by the way,
- 22:34Speaker 1: unless you had 38 first downs. And Clemson won for
- 22:40Speaker 1: 13 on third down. That's the worst ever in a
- 22:43Speaker 1: game under Dabo. Those are just some of the numbers
- 22:45Speaker 1: of a historic nature about how bad that was. All right.
- 22:47Speaker 4: You want to know. I don't want to read those.
- 22:49Speaker 4: All right.
- 22:50Speaker 1: But as a professional, they hand me these things. Fitty
- 22:52Speaker 1: hand me these things.
- 22:53Speaker 4: I do it.
- 22:53Speaker 1: And I read it.
- 22:54Speaker 5: I knew the pulling for Dabo thing ended abruptly on Saturday.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Well. You probably had one of those tiger print costumes
- 23:02Speaker 1: on that all the ladies were wearing this weekend. I
- 23:04Speaker 1: did think kids had gone for the two-point conversion up
- 23:07Speaker 1: by 1,000. It was a little bit extra there.
- 23:09Speaker 4: On brand.
- 23:10Speaker 1: On brand for that jerk. That's when I was supporting
- 23:13Speaker 1: my daddy. I said, this isn't right.
- 23:14Speaker 5: On brand for that jerk. All right, so the last
- 23:17Speaker 5: drive needs to be factored in, Bone. If you take
- 23:20Speaker 5: the last drive out for Clemson, They had 74 yards
- 23:24Speaker 5: before the last drive, 71 yards on the last drive.
- 23:28Speaker 5: They had zero rush yards, to your point, before the
- 23:31Speaker 5: last drive. They had 40 on that drive. So the
- 23:35Speaker 5: box score looks bad now. If you were to... Take
- 23:39Speaker 5: a screenshot of it before the meaningless last drive that
- 23:44Speaker 5: Clemson had to make it 51-10. Holy crap, it would
- 23:48Speaker 5: look like the worst box score maybe you have ever seen.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Clemson had 41 yards in penalties and 40 rush yards.
- 23:58Speaker 5: And again, they had 40 on the last drive, zero
- 24:01Speaker 5: before that. So the last drive literally was very close
- 24:04Speaker 5: to half their offense.
- 24:07Speaker 1: They got that is one thing, you know, all the
- 24:10Speaker 1: talk about Dabo. We'll go through all this stuff here.
- 24:13Speaker 1: One thing that's happened to the offense back. They were.
- 24:16Speaker 1: They were in the 40s in rushing offense nationally. They
- 24:21Speaker 1: were in the 40s just about every year from 20
- 24:26Speaker 1: until last year, whether it be 43, 44. They seem
- 24:28Speaker 1: to end up in the same area of rushing offense.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Last year, it fell to 105. in the country in
- 24:36Speaker 1: rushing offense. And this year, right now, they might be
- 24:39Speaker 1: the worst, I mean, probably at this point. But it's
- 24:42Speaker 1: also the running game. Not only has the quarterback play
- 24:45Speaker 1: not been good, the running game has gone by the wayside,
- 24:48Speaker 1: which they were so dependent on for so long.
- 24:50Speaker 5: And that's why, Chad, one of the big reasons Chad
- 24:52Speaker 5: Morris was brought back here, they ran the football with
- 24:55Speaker 5: Chad Morris.
- 24:56Speaker 4: And we'll see.
- 24:57Speaker 5: I mean, our 7 o'clock question is going to be,
- 24:59Speaker 5: is Clemson that bad or is LSU that good? Like,
- 25:03Speaker 5: how do you answer that question if you're out there listening?
- 25:07Speaker 5: Can Clemson still make something out of an ACC season,
- 25:10Speaker 5: or do we think this team sucks? Is LSU literally
- 25:14Speaker 5: on the short list of national title contenders? Are they
- 25:16Speaker 5: that damn good? So that's one of the questions we're
- 25:19Speaker 5: going to ask. But there's no doubt, Bone, that we
- 25:23Speaker 5: were saying on Friday, they've got to improve the run.
- 25:26Speaker 5: We said all summer, they've got to run the football better.
- 25:29Speaker 5: And Exhibit A is not a good one. Their offensive line,
- 25:33Speaker 5: I said it on Friday, they've got five new starters.
- 25:35Speaker 5: And they had to go into Baton Rouge and try
- 25:37Speaker 5: to deal with that defensive front?
- 25:40Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 25:40Speaker 5: And I thought it would be rough. I didn't think
- 25:42Speaker 5: it would be that rough. They got obliterated in the trenches.
- 25:45Speaker 5: And then on the other side of the ball, Clemson's
- 25:47Speaker 5: defense up front got obliterated. I mean, that kid, that
- 25:52Speaker 5: Wisconsin transfer, Jones. And by the way, Lane Kiffin came
- 25:56Speaker 5: out wanting to punch them in the mouth with the
- 25:59Speaker 5: run game. And Levitt's running ability, I knew he could run.
- 26:02Speaker 5: I didn't know he ran like that. That was ridiculous,
- 26:07Speaker 5: the way he ran. They both, Bone, had 113 yards rushing.
- 26:10Speaker 5: LSU had over 300 rushing and over 300 passing. God,
- 26:14Speaker 5: that was a beatdown, man. 5.3 yards per carry to
- 26:17Speaker 5: 1.5 on the.
- 26:23Speaker 1: clemson side the longest clemson run mac was at the
- 26:26Speaker 1: end there 11 yards and look at the look at
- 26:28Speaker 1: on the other side 18 yard runs 15 12 14
- 26:31Speaker 1: i mean it's just i mean i don't i said
- 26:35Speaker 1: on twitter i don't know what brutal does it justice
- 26:38Speaker 1: for what that performance was what's.
- 26:39Speaker 5: The word we do do we need a word that
- 26:41Speaker 5: is worse than brutal is that what we're looking for
- 26:43Speaker 5: i don't know yeah.
- 26:45Speaker 4: God, man.
- 26:46Speaker 5: And there's smarmy Lane Kiffin just with that grin on
- 26:50Speaker 5: his face that the whole country like to smack right
- 26:53Speaker 5: off of it. I mean, God dang, man. And by
- 26:56Speaker 5: the way, you really need those two pro players.
- 27:00Speaker 1: You really need right. And Harris, he made that comment
- 27:02Speaker 1: at halftime when he was walking away from Holly row
- 27:04Speaker 1: where he said, imagine if I had pro players, we
- 27:07Speaker 1: got his, by the way, coming up next segment sounds
- 27:09Speaker 1: of the weekend. God, you are going to hear him
- 27:12Speaker 1: being asked about that comment in the, in the post game.
- 27:15Speaker 1: So anyway, LSU, Clemson, it's going to be probably the
- 27:19Speaker 1: biggest conversation today on this show. That, along with the
- 27:24Speaker 1: Michigan situation, which we'll get to here in a second,
- 27:27Speaker 1: I do want to mention the Charlotte game, Bone, because
- 27:30Speaker 1: they were playing an FCS school in the Citadel who
- 27:35Speaker 1: lost 42-14 to Wofford last Saturday. And Charlotte could not
- 27:41Speaker 1: beat them in their own house. I mean, are you
- 27:46Speaker 1: kidding me?
- 27:47Speaker 5: Charlotte is essentially like almost 30 points worse than they were.
- 27:52Speaker 5: 28-point loss to a three-point win. They're essentially 30 points
- 27:56Speaker 5: worse than Wofford if you do the old transitive property. God,
- 28:02Speaker 5: that is just terrible. 20-point favorites, and they lose that
- 28:06Speaker 5: game to the dang Citadel, man.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Yeah, for a program that's had a lot of lows, this–
- 28:13Speaker 1: This is right up there. Now they go on ESPN2
- 28:17Speaker 1: on Saturday. Who are they playing? Oh, yeah, they're playing
- 28:20Speaker 1: at Ole Miss on Saturday. When I checked in yesterday,
- 28:25Speaker 1: Ole Miss was favored by 46.5. I'll see if it's
- 28:28Speaker 1: got up to 50 yet based off last night. Look,
- 28:31Speaker 1: I don't take any glee in this because we do
- 28:34Speaker 1: support the Niners. We want them to do well in everything.
- 28:39Speaker 1: But I don't know where– I just don't know where
- 28:43Speaker 1: a win's going to come from on the schedule. There's
- 28:46Speaker 1: Ole Miss. There's App. They're not beating Louisiana. There's Memphis.
- 28:50Speaker 1: There's North Texas. Temple, Tulane. UAB, East Carolina, Tulsa, Navy.
- 28:55Speaker 1: If you can't beat the Citadel at home, I don't
- 28:59Speaker 1: know where, unfortunately, we thought, hey, could they make some
- 29:03Speaker 1: progress this year, maybe get to four wins and start
- 29:06Speaker 1: to show something here? I don't know how they're getting
- 29:09Speaker 1: one win off that schedule, to be honest with you.
- 29:10Speaker 1: This reminded me of the Monmouth game last year. They
- 29:13Speaker 1: won that game 42-35, but they had to put up
- 29:14Speaker 1: 42 points to beat Monmouth, another FCS school last year.
- 29:22Speaker 1: And that's the, to your point, that's the only game
- 29:24Speaker 1: they won last year. And like Gonzalez did a bunch
- 29:28Speaker 1: of good things, five total touchdowns, three passing.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Two rushing.
- 29:33Speaker 5: They had a 100-yard rusher in Alexander, a 100-yard receiver
- 29:37Speaker 5: in Hampton.
- 29:38Speaker 4: Gonzalez goes for 322.
- 29:39Speaker 1: But the mistakes....
- 29:42Speaker 5: Gonzalez with two interceptions. That first one was terrible. And
- 29:45Speaker 5: then Gonzalez bone has the two point conversion at the
- 29:48Speaker 5: end that they need to extend it to another overtime.
- 29:51Speaker 5: And a receiver is wide open.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Missed it. And he's like feeling pressure. And I went
- 29:56Speaker 1: back and watched it. There really wasn't pressure. He was
- 29:59Speaker 1: like feeling it and getting like happy feet. And he
- 30:02Speaker 1: completely misses the receiver. Also, how about the play the
- 30:05Speaker 1: Garcia kid made for the Citadel in overtime? When he
- 30:08Speaker 1: basically ran all across the field. Went Marcus Allen. Yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 1: he ran like 120 yards for how, like 20 yards,
- 30:13Speaker 1: whatever it was.
- 30:14Speaker 5: That was, and Garcia for the Citadel went well over
- 30:18Speaker 5: 100 yards. Their tackling on that play was indicative of
- 30:21Speaker 5: the way it was throughout the game. They missed 16
- 30:23Speaker 5: tackles in that game, according to PFF. So I hate
- 30:26Speaker 5: it for Charlotte. I just, I say it all the time.
- 30:29Speaker 5: I want Charlotte fans to have a reason to be
- 30:31Speaker 5: fired up. Football, basketball. One of these two sports, at least.
- 30:35Speaker 5: I'm not saying they don't have good sports programs there.
- 30:37Speaker 5: But the two that the fans get the most, you
- 30:39Speaker 5: know what I mean, passionate about. And they had the
- 30:42Speaker 5: long delay because of the weather. And the fans were
- 30:44Speaker 5: still packed in there. And it was an entertaining game,
- 30:47Speaker 5: I will say that. But dang, you just lost as
- 30:50Speaker 5: a 20-point favorite.
- 30:51Speaker 1: They just want to be involved in the discussions. They
- 30:53Speaker 1: just want something to hang their hat on besides a
- 30:57Speaker 1: win over Monmouth. a year ago. Matt, we will address
- 31:01Speaker 1: two Charlotte 49er fans that made declarative statements about beating
- 31:06Speaker 1: the Citadel on social media. We will address those two
- 31:09Speaker 1: guys next hour.
- 31:10Speaker 4: Walker, may I get frisky or no?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Oh, no. Oh, okay. This is Normald J. Trump. and
- 31:17Speaker 1: a guy named Rowdy. These two guys both said some
- 31:19Speaker 1: stuff on social media. And we're all about accountability here
- 31:22Speaker 1: on the Mac and Bone Show. We need to address
- 31:25Speaker 1: these guys.
- 31:25Speaker 5: All right, give me real quick here, because I want
- 31:27Speaker 5: to close this segment down, Bone, with the latest on
- 31:31Speaker 5: the Michigan... win on the second hail mary and how
- 31:34Speaker 5: was there a second on the clock and all that
- 31:36Speaker 5: stuff let's take our clocks up here so just give
- 31:38Speaker 5: me let just give me uh real quick cliff notes
- 31:42Speaker 5: we'll expand later what'd you like about south carolina i
- 31:45Speaker 5: guess everything they won 57 nothing over kent state what'd
- 31:48Speaker 5: you like about duke.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Well uh duke um the defense certainly And Nate Shepard,
- 31:53Speaker 1: the quarterback play, oh boy, that's going to be a
- 31:57Speaker 1: work in progress there. But Nate Shepard, Mac, proved my
- 32:00Speaker 1: point a couple weeks ago. How is that dude not
- 32:03Speaker 1: one of the top 60 running backs in the country
- 32:06Speaker 1: on the Doak Walker list? How is he not one
- 32:08Speaker 1: of the 12 ACC running backs that made that list?
- 32:11Speaker 1: That dude is basically him and Jeremiah Haseley. That's basically
- 32:16Speaker 1: what their offense is right now. Nate Shepard is a
- 32:19Speaker 1: premier running back. I also credit Nate Shepard back because
- 32:23Speaker 1: his buddies left, and Nate Shepard said, I'm going to
- 32:26Speaker 1: honor my commitment here, at least for this year. I'm
- 32:28Speaker 1: going to honor my commitment. I'm not going to run
- 32:30Speaker 1: out like Mensa and Barquet. And now look at Mensa
- 32:33Speaker 1: and Barquet. What are they doing now, huh? Nate Shepard
- 32:35Speaker 1: won that battle.
- 32:38Speaker 5: I would say, Bone, your quarterback is a slight downgrade
- 32:41Speaker 5: from Mensah. Holy crap on Friday night, Darian Mensah.
- 32:45Speaker 8: 27-30, 4-0-1.
- 32:46Speaker 4: My God.
- 32:46Speaker 1: As far as South Carolina goes, Bone... It was a
- 32:55Speaker 1: good start for the Bryles offense. 57 points.
- 33:00Speaker 5: Sellers has an amazing game. They will run the football.
- 33:03Speaker 5: But obviously there's so many fan bases asking.
- 33:06Speaker 1: The question this week because there was just so many
- 33:08Speaker 1: routes and so many lopsided matchups this week.
- 33:11Speaker 4: So many fans are asking. Are we really that good?
- 33:14Speaker 4: Are we good?
- 33:16Speaker 5: Because you know it ain't going to be quite that easy.
- 33:19Speaker 5: Although next week your opponent is easier. That's the funniest
- 33:23Speaker 5: thing about it. The Gamecock side of it, Mac, they
- 33:25Speaker 5: struggled at some of those games before ODU. They've had
- 33:28Speaker 5: performances against South Carolina State where.
- 33:30Speaker 4: It took a while.
- 33:31Speaker 1: So I'm just– no matter who the opponent was, I'm
- 33:34Speaker 1: just glad in the Beamer era that they had a performance,
- 33:36Speaker 1: at least in week one, no matter the opponent, where
- 33:39Speaker 1: it wasn't in doubt by any means. And also, I
- 33:41Speaker 1: like that Bryles is really getting Harbor involved rather than just–
- 33:45Speaker 1: you know run down the field as fast as you
- 33:47Speaker 1: can they got harbour really involved early in that game
- 33:49Speaker 1: short ones where he runs after the catch 58 yards
- 33:51Speaker 1: in the first half so i was happy with that
- 33:53Speaker 1: and the run game looked good without peeking the offensive
- 33:55Speaker 1: line and of course they'll get stewart back on defense
- 33:58Speaker 1: at some.
- 33:58Speaker 5: Point so i have a feeling bone sec fronts would
- 34:01Speaker 5: be a little tougher than kent state's front but like
- 34:04Speaker 5: yeah that run game went off fuller and those boys
- 34:06Speaker 5: went off um As far as the latest, we'll talk
- 34:10Speaker 5: about it today, obviously, more. But as far as the
- 34:13Speaker 5: latest on the robbery in the state of Michigan on
- 34:19Speaker 5: Saturday night, the Big Ten story, Bone, it's very convoluted,
- 34:24Speaker 5: the statement that they put out, because they talk about
- 34:28Speaker 5: how they sync up before the games. All the different clocks, right?
- 34:33Speaker 5: So like the stadium clock, the NBC clock, the clock
- 34:36Speaker 5: that is used on replay reviews. But yet, for some reason,
- 34:41Speaker 5: they weren't synced up. The one we saw on TV
- 34:44Speaker 5: is apparently not the real clock. And the real clock
- 34:47Speaker 5: is the one, Bone. I don't know if you saw
- 34:49Speaker 5: the viral video of the replay official showing fans in
- 34:52Speaker 5: the front row.
- 34:52Speaker 4: I did see it, yeah. That was the.
- 34:54Speaker 5: Same little clock that they sent out. I noticed something, Bone,
- 34:58Speaker 5: about the Big Tens. The video they sent out of
- 35:02Speaker 5: the play, where clearly the guy touches it before the
- 35:05Speaker 5: broadcast clock gets to zero, but it says on the
- 35:09Speaker 5: Big Ten thing, it says one second. Why did they
- 35:13Speaker 5: not show us the full play and the clock counting down?
- 35:16Speaker 5: The clock never moved on that video they sent to us.
- 35:19Speaker 5: It just said 1.0. So I got to be honest
- 35:21Speaker 5: with you, man. I still sit here today believing that
- 35:26Speaker 5: Western Michigan got freaking screwed. I know Michigan got lucky
- 35:29Speaker 5: at the very least.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Well, it also feels like it, too, because, Mac, how
- 35:32Speaker 1: many Hail Marys ever have that exact thing happen there
- 35:36Speaker 1: that's never looked at or reviewed? So now we're going
- 35:39Speaker 1: to open up the Pandora's box of every Hail Mary play.
- 35:42Speaker 1: We're now going to have to go review, aren't we,
- 35:44Speaker 1: to see if there's any time. Now we're going to
- 35:46Speaker 1: have to do all this reviewing for Hail Mary plays,
- 35:48Speaker 1: I think.
- 35:50Speaker 5: I know it was his first game of his sophomore season.
- 35:54Speaker 5: We talked about it last week. I'm not sure Underwood
- 35:57Speaker 5: is that guy. I thought he was terrible. Well, he's
- 36:01Speaker 5: my guy in the video game, but he's not the
- 36:03Speaker 5: same guy in real life. I mean, he had a
- 36:05Speaker 5: horrible interception. It should have been a pick six, but
- 36:07Speaker 5: the kid stepped out of bounds for Western Michigan, barely.
- 36:09Speaker 5: This fumble at the end, how do you do that?
- 36:12Speaker 1: Two minutes left. If they get a first down, you're
- 36:14Speaker 1: done because of your fumble. He wasn't accurate last year.
- 36:18Speaker 1: This was not a good start.
- 36:19Speaker 4: So we'll see.
- 36:20Speaker 5: Maybe we'll look backbone and say that was the wake-up
- 36:22Speaker 5: call they needed. But, dude, how are they going to
- 36:24Speaker 5: score on Oklahoma's defense on Saturday? That's a great question. Also, Mac,
- 36:29Speaker 5: I will say this, though. I feel like Western Michigan
- 36:32Speaker 5: got screwed. But at the same time, Michigan still did
- 36:36Speaker 5: have to complete a Hail Mary, though, at the end
- 36:37Speaker 5: to get it. He got a second chance. His first
- 36:40Speaker 5: one went completely off the field.
- 36:41Speaker 1: I know, but they still had to execute that play,
- 36:43Speaker 1: which is kind of crazy in itself to execute. But
- 36:45Speaker 1: I do feel like it shouldn't have happened. But it
- 36:47Speaker 1: still is crazy that Michigan was still able to get
- 36:49Speaker 1: that play anyway.
- 36:50Speaker 4: But, yeah.
- 36:51Speaker 5: Congratulations. Your second Hail Mary attempt. Yeah, you hit that one.
- 36:56Speaker 5: Your first one damn near went into the stands, for
- 36:58Speaker 5: God's sakes.
- 37:00Speaker 1: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone Show,
- 37:03Speaker 1: sounds of the weekend. Lane Kiffin on his halftime TV
- 37:08Speaker 1: smartass comment. Tim Rehm on the refs after the FC draw.
- 37:13Speaker 1: And an NBA insider says the Hornets will get a
- 37:16Speaker 1: deal done in time with Brandon Miller.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 37:43Speaker 1: I know at the end, you know, Dean mentioned that
- 37:45Speaker 1: the refs wouldn't shake his hand, and I saw you
- 37:47Speaker 1: kind of going over there and having a couple of
- 37:48Speaker 1: words as well.
- 37:49Speaker 3: The less said, the better. Did they shake your hand?
- 37:54Speaker 7: Absolutely.
- 37:54Speaker 3: They didn't shake anybody's hand, and I think for me.
- 38:01Speaker 3: Set aside the game and, you know, whatever is said
- 38:05Speaker 3: in the match. And it's a game of football. Things
- 38:09Speaker 3: are said. There's, you know, heated exchanges that go on
- 38:12Speaker 3: all the time. And in 17 years of playing, I've
- 38:15Speaker 3: never had a referee crew not shake players' hands.
- 38:22Speaker 5: That is Charlotte FC captain Tim Rehm.
- 38:25Speaker 4: Or not captain. Well, he was the captain. Actually, he
- 38:27Speaker 4: ended the game as the captain.
- 38:30Speaker 5: When Ashley Westwood, the normal captain, had to say goodbye
- 38:36Speaker 5: thanks to whatever he said to that referee. But that's
- 38:39Speaker 5: Tim Rehm. So Charlotte FC has had some issues with referees, Bone,
- 38:44Speaker 5: of late. We had the one in the League's Cup
- 38:47Speaker 5: where after the match, Pep Biel said something to him
- 38:50Speaker 5: about his officiating and the referee was so hurt by it.
- 38:53Speaker 5: He red carded him after the match was over and
- 38:55Speaker 5: Pep had to miss the match, of course, that we
- 38:57Speaker 5: lost and kept us out of advancing in the League's Cup.
- 39:01Speaker 5: And now you have this one. where Ashley Westwood, who,
- 39:04Speaker 5: by the way, I thought got obliterated and fouled by
- 39:07Speaker 5: a Houston player, thought it should have been called.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Westy's furious, as he's apt to be. He's a fiery dude.
- 39:14Speaker 1: He'll tell us every time he's on. That's the way
- 39:16Speaker 1: he is, for better or worse.
- 39:18Speaker 5: But usually, Bone, you can go and you can have
- 39:21Speaker 5: something to say to a referee, and you'll get the
- 39:25Speaker 5: one yellow for dissent. little grace there to get to
- 39:28Speaker 5: in quick succession like that the only question is what
- 39:32Speaker 5: did he say something horrible to the referee because i
- 39:34Speaker 5: don't i don't understand how you can't just let him
- 39:37Speaker 5: vent give him a yellow and that's it.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Move on with the game. Westy, if you're out there,
- 39:41Speaker 1: call in and let us know what you said. Just
- 39:43Speaker 1: not on the air, please.
- 39:46Speaker 4: And then Reem and Dean.
- 39:47Speaker 1: It happened so fast that even his teammates couldn't get
- 39:49Speaker 1: over there to kind of get between them either.
- 39:50Speaker 4: It's true.
- 39:51Speaker 1: It's true. Because normally the teammates will say, all right,
- 39:53Speaker 1: all right, all right. We don't need you getting tossed
- 39:55Speaker 1: out of here. But it happened so fast. How can
- 39:57Speaker 1: you get over there? You heard it from Reem. Dean
- 39:58Speaker 1: Smith said the same thing.
- 39:59Speaker 5: The ref did not shake Dean's hand or any of
- 40:01Speaker 5: the Charlotte FC players' hand, which is unprofessional as hell.
- 40:06Speaker 5: I just don't get what is going on in the
- 40:10Speaker 5: post-match with these referees.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Are they all this unprofessional and sensitive? Or is Charlotte
- 40:16Speaker 1: FC mean to these dudes beyond what other teams are?
- 40:21Speaker 1: What did Wesley do to this man?
- 40:22Speaker 4: It's crazy to me, man. Oh, by the way.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Remind me of what you did to Fitty during the
- 40:26Speaker 1: break when he left his soda bottle in your area.
- 40:28Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Fitty. It's the parent in me. My kids
- 40:31Speaker 5: leave stuff on the counters all the time. And so
- 40:34Speaker 5: do my coworkers in this studio. So I just kind
- 40:37Speaker 5: of turned into a parent. You threatened to shove that
- 40:40Speaker 5: Mountain Dew bottle up his.
- 40:41Speaker 1: I did not. I didn't.
- 40:43Speaker 4: I did threaten to ground him, though.
- 40:45Speaker 1: And he said, sorry, Mac, I didn't mean to.
- 40:50Speaker 5: Also, as a diehard Mountain Dew drinker, I was very
- 40:52Speaker 5: disappointed that someone would not finish their Dew.
- 40:55Speaker 4: There was like half your Dew left. Oh, Phinney can
- 40:58Speaker 4: finish a Dew all right. Anyway, what.
- 41:06Speaker 4: I guess I should give the details, Bone.
- 41:07Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, Charlotte FC, a man down for
- 41:10Speaker 5: half the second half, defended like beasts and ended up
- 41:15Speaker 5: with a nil-nil tie, which is not a horrible result.
- 41:17Speaker 5: All things considered, Houston's second in the league.
- 41:20Speaker 1: My God, Houston makes the game ugly, too. That was
- 41:22Speaker 1: a slog of a game, man. That was nasty. Yeah,
- 41:26Speaker 1: but the fact that they were able to get a
- 41:27Speaker 1: point out of that, a man down against that team, though,
- 41:31Speaker 1: I mean, that could have gone awry without Wesley in there.
- 41:33Speaker 1: So a good job to get something out of that.
- 41:36Speaker 1: This defense, these four guys they're using are very– Kessler's
- 41:42Speaker 1: been great, Ream, and then Schnegg. They've been very sound
- 41:46Speaker 1: back there. Block a ton of shots, too. Forced you
- 41:48Speaker 1: to shoot from outside the box, and now they're blocking them.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Clemson would consider FC's offense today explosive. Hey, Clemson scored, though.
- 41:59Speaker 4: FC didn't.
- 42:00Speaker 5: Slightly different sports, though. Wesley hit the post earlier, too.
- 42:03Speaker 5: He came really close to getting one. Let's move along
- 42:07Speaker 5: to Lane Kiffin. We have not heard from Lane Kiffin
- 42:09Speaker 5: yet this morning. I'm sure this is who Clemson fans
- 42:11Speaker 5: want to hear from on their holiday Monday morning.
- 42:14Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, you're going to hear him here.
- 42:16Speaker 5: Bone, asked about the comment you brought up. last segment
- 42:21Speaker 5: that he had to say into the microphone of the
- 42:24Speaker 5: halftime interview, which, by the way, he acted like he
- 42:26Speaker 5: was so disappointed in their performance in the first half. Again,
- 42:30Speaker 5: just what a disingenuous ass this man is. But anyway,
- 42:34Speaker 5: he made the comment to Holly Rowe that you could
- 42:37Speaker 5: pick up on the microphone. Imagine if we play pro players. Well,
- 42:41Speaker 5: you're going to hear this from the postgame presser, him
- 42:43Speaker 5: being asked about that comment.
- 42:45Speaker 8: At halftime, when you were coming off the field and
- 42:47Speaker 8: you did that quick TV interview, was that it looked
- 42:50Speaker 8: It sounded like you might have been joking a little bit,
- 42:52Speaker 8: but it also begs the question, what could be the
- 42:57Speaker 8: future for the guys that you sort of alluded to
- 42:59Speaker 8: in that comment?
- 43:00Speaker 9: Well, I just said that to Shelly afterwards. Like, what
- 43:04Speaker 9: would it look like if they let us have those players, too?
- 43:06Speaker 9: You know, so that's just my personality. So it is
- 43:10Speaker 9: what it is. And then I said, did you actually, like,
- 43:12Speaker 9: put that on there?
- 43:13Speaker 1: She said, yes.
- 43:14Speaker 8: So what's the difference?
- 43:15Speaker 9: Everybody hates you. They can't hate you that much more.
- 43:17Speaker 9: So there you go. You got another line. But I'm
- 43:22Speaker 9: just really glad they played the way they did. So
- 43:25Speaker 9: that wouldn't have been the story because I get it.
- 43:27Speaker 9: That would have been the whole story. Even if we
- 43:28Speaker 9: won close and kind of ugly, the whole story would
- 43:31Speaker 9: have been, man, I screwed the team up by, you know,
- 43:33Speaker 9: doing this. And I said it this morning. You cannot
- 43:37Speaker 9: agree with it. I've been criticized heavily for the last
- 43:41Speaker 9: two weeks, and I get that.
- 43:42Speaker 1: I understand.
- 43:43Speaker 9: But my job is not to please you and worry
- 43:45Speaker 9: about what you're going to write. My job is what
- 43:48Speaker 9: I believe is right, and I believe– We were fighting
- 43:50Speaker 9: for what was right for those kids. I'm not going
- 43:52Speaker 9: to get into all the reasons, but that's what I believe.
- 43:55Speaker 5: So there you go i'm so glad that game is
- 43:58Speaker 5: over so now i can fully hate uh wayne kiffin
- 44:00Speaker 5: now with all i have in me last week i
- 44:02Speaker 5: had a little trouble because they were playing clemson but
- 44:04Speaker 5: now i'm going and you also can fully uh hey
- 44:06Speaker 5: clemson and dabbo again yes because you had some trouble
- 44:09Speaker 5: with that last week too right it was that game
- 44:11Speaker 5: was a conundrum for you like i said.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Though clemson not much of a threat to me right
- 44:14Speaker 1: now and i think they proved that the other day.
- 44:16Speaker 5: Uh yeah lane kiffin did not uh play right or
- 44:19Speaker 5: harris the two pro guys in question which is why
- 44:22Speaker 5: he's saying he's glad he didn't, and they won the
- 44:23Speaker 5: way they did, and that is not a storyline now.
- 44:27Speaker 5: But he still at some point, I think, wants to
- 44:29Speaker 5: play him. LSU still suing him in federal court. Who
- 44:32Speaker 5: the hell knows? This next clip, Bone, is for a
- 44:36Speaker 5: texter named Fine More Deodorant. It was in this exact hour, Bone,
- 44:40Speaker 5: on Friday. He was very stressed in some texts he
- 44:43Speaker 5: sent to us about, is Brandon Miller going to get signed?
- 44:45Speaker 5: When's he going to get signed? we said don't worry
- 44:48Speaker 5: about it even if they don't sign him this offseason
- 44:50Speaker 5: he's a restricted free agent next year and they can
- 44:53Speaker 5: do it next year if you don't believe us deodorant
- 44:57Speaker 5: here is brett siegel nba insider telling you chill out
- 45:01Speaker 5: hornets fans where.
- 45:02Speaker 8: Are the hornets with with brandon miller and an extension
- 45:05Speaker 8: talks there.
- 45:06Speaker 2: This one's kind of interesting because i don't anticipate brandon
- 45:08Speaker 2: miller leaving the hornets anytime soon he's going to be
- 45:11Speaker 2: getting a new deal at some point but Back near
- 45:13Speaker 2: the time of the 2026 NBA draft, the Hornets executives
- 45:17Speaker 2: and Brandon Miller and his camp, they were engaged in
- 45:20Speaker 2: talks about what an extension could look like, what the
- 45:22Speaker 2: Hornets wanted, what Brandon Miller wanted, the future of the franchise.
- 45:25Speaker 2: And then they go out and they make moves to
- 45:27Speaker 2: basically say, Brandon Miller is the face of our franchise
- 45:30Speaker 2: moving forward, where you trade LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves,
- 45:32Speaker 2: you trade Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns, and you
- 45:35Speaker 2: completely flip around this roster to the point where you
- 45:38Speaker 2: are now building around Brandon Miller and Conn Knipple as
- 45:41Speaker 2: your two pillars of this franchise. So He is going
- 45:43Speaker 2: to be getting a new deal at some point. I
- 45:45Speaker 2: would expect it personally to be a five-year deal, and
- 45:48Speaker 2: that will cement him as the face of this franchise
- 45:50Speaker 2: after those trades, but it is possible that the Hornets
- 45:52Speaker 2: could enter the season without extending him. They have basically
- 45:56Speaker 2: until then to do so, and even if he doesn't,
- 45:59Speaker 2: they could just agree to a new deal once he
- 46:01Speaker 2: becomes a restricted free agent.
- 46:02Speaker 1: There's no worries.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Here about getting a deal done.
- 46:04Speaker 1: There you go. Everyone calm down, especially you, D.O.D.
- 46:08Speaker 4: Everybody keep your composure! Stay calm here! All right.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Speaking of Hornets, I'm seeing an image right now. Patty Claps,
- 46:16Speaker 1: Pat Connaughton, Conn Knipple were at the game last night.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Wisconsin. Patty C wearing his Notre Dame gear
- 46:23Speaker 1: and Conn Knipple wearing his Wisconsin gear. Oh, he was.
- 46:28Speaker 4: Oh, God.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Something happened with the Brotherhood, Conn? Remember who made you?
- 46:33Speaker 1: He had to grow up as a Wisconsin fan then,
- 46:35Speaker 1: I guess. You know my rule, Conn. You stick to
- 46:38Speaker 1: one team, pal, all right? You don't wear one team's gear.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Just because you're in your past, that doesn't mean you
- 46:44Speaker 1: wear it now. Oh, man. My God almighty. When we
- 46:46Speaker 1: come back, is LSU that good? Or is Clemson that bad?
- 46:51Speaker 1: How worried should the Tiger fans be about the rest
- 46:55Speaker 1: of the season and the future? Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
