- 0:19Speaker 1: Yeah, come on.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Come on, baby.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I wish I was Boopy. Boopy McClain, man. That's a
- 0:25Speaker 1: great name.
- 0:25Speaker 2: All aboard.
- 0:26Speaker 5: All aboard.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Good morning, Charlotte.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Welcome aboard. It is Mac and Bone Radio Showtime, kiddies.
- 0:46Speaker 2: We got ourselves a Panthers roster for now. We got
- 0:50Speaker 2: ourselves a 53-man roster for now. We will discuss that
- 0:54Speaker 2: here on the show. We got a Week Zero recap.
- 0:56Speaker 2: We all saw that coming, didn't we all? Did you
- 0:59Speaker 2: see that coming? Between the heels and the pack. We'll
- 1:04Speaker 2: talk about it. We got a Charlotte FC dub in Atlanta.
- 1:08Speaker 2: I mean, just dominating those fools. We got all kind
- 1:11Speaker 2: of stuff to get into. We got me out of
- 1:13Speaker 2: breath already. I mean, it's going to be a Monday, y'all.
- 1:17Speaker 2: It is going to be a Monday. Fitty's excited. Bone
- 1:22Speaker 2: is here. I am already exhausted. Oh, baby, let's get
- 1:27Speaker 2: it going. But I'm out of breath.
- 1:28Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about it. Matt, I don't want to
- 1:31Speaker 4: take the airtime. How was your weekend? Everything okay?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Oh, you want me to talk? You want me to extend?
- 1:36Speaker 1: Oh, extend.
- 1:36Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:37Speaker 2: I'm doing well. Good weekend here.
- 1:40Speaker 4: And like you mentioned at the top there, just as
- 1:42Speaker 4: we expected, the heels with positive momentum and the Wolfpack reeling,
- 1:48Speaker 4: just as you and I figured out on Friday's radio program.
- 1:51Speaker 4: We are officially back, man. When we're reeling off the
- 1:54Speaker 4: comments that we've made, we are officially back.
- 1:56Speaker 2: I'm in mid-season form. Let me tell you that right now.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Heels lose by double digits, and NC State— No, State
- 2:03Speaker 2: lost by double digits. No, no, no, no. I'm telling
- 2:05Speaker 2: you what I predicted, you doofus. Settle yourself. You talk
- 2:08Speaker 2: about somebody that's antsy and wants to say, I told
- 2:10Speaker 2: you so. We've actually given him a tranquilizer dart in
- 2:14Speaker 2: the neck to start this program.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Oh!
- 2:16Speaker 4: He's going to have to talk like this in the
- 2:19Speaker 4: second hour.
- 2:20Speaker 2: I thought my wife gets excited to say, I told
- 2:23Speaker 2: you so to me. Holy crap. Down, fella. What I
- 2:27Speaker 2: was saying is, I am in mid-season form. I had
- 2:32Speaker 2: the heels losing by double digits, and I had NC
- 2:35Speaker 2: State as, let me check my notes here from the summer,
- 2:37Speaker 2: the greatest team in the history of football. All right,
- 2:40Speaker 2: so those two things bone appear to have been off
- 2:42Speaker 2: a slight bit.
- 2:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I anticipated the Heels being in a fight. I
- 2:46Speaker 4: didn't think they would win it. And NC State, I
- 2:49Speaker 4: bought in last week that they were going to win
- 2:52Speaker 4: the game. And I just, I don't know, man. That's
- 2:56Speaker 4: the last time I bought in.
- 2:56Speaker 2: It's funny because I swear you were touting Virginia throughout
- 2:59Speaker 2: the summer.
- 3:00Speaker 4: You were on the, and by the way. Can I
- 3:02Speaker 4: be honest with you what sold me? You did such
- 3:05Speaker 4: a great job of selling me on the pack through
- 3:08Speaker 4: the last couple weeks that I really thought you found
- 3:11Speaker 4: something there.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I really honestly did.
- 3:13Speaker 4: You sold me to where I'm thinking, well, maybe I'm crazy.
- 3:15Speaker 4: I also think we have a situation here where when
- 3:18Speaker 4: we've talked to every guest, when you hear nationally people
- 3:21Speaker 4: talk about the ACC, we say, hey, who's second behind Miami?
- 3:26Speaker 4: It's Clemson at times. It's SMU.
- 3:30Speaker 2: It's Louisville.
- 3:31Speaker 4: You very rarely Mac ever hear Virginia brought up into
- 3:34Speaker 4: that category. And I think they utilize that as motivation
- 3:37Speaker 4: throughout the summer that, Hey, we're, we were in the
- 3:40Speaker 4: championship game last year and nobody's talking about us right now.
- 3:43Speaker 4: And I think that might be the, the steamroll, the, the,
- 3:47Speaker 4: the locomotive that ran over the Wolfpack. I think they were,
- 3:50Speaker 4: they were, they were angry. I think that maybe they
- 3:52Speaker 4: didn't get enough attention this, this summer. They don't get
- 3:54Speaker 4: attention now. Cause that was a performance. And, uh, And anyway,
- 3:58Speaker 4: tale as old as time. NC State's hyped up in
- 4:01Speaker 4: the summer. They flop before you can blink once the
- 4:04Speaker 4: season starts. And I fell for it again. But we'll
- 4:07Speaker 4: talk about it. But I got bad news for Fitty.
- 4:08Speaker 4: I have bad news for Fitty.
- 4:10Speaker 2: He has to wait another segment because we got to
- 4:12Speaker 2: talk about what happened last night. Bone, it didn't exactly
- 4:16Speaker 2: happen at 6. It didn't exactly happen at 7. Dan
- 4:19Speaker 2: Morgan and the crew kept us waiting. for the panthers
- 4:23Speaker 2: final roster and i'm using air quotes with final because
- 4:27Speaker 2: you know there will be changes there's one big change
- 4:30Speaker 2: bobby okereke the veteran linebacker is going to be signed
- 4:32Speaker 2: to a one-year deal he is not on this roster
- 4:34Speaker 2: yet so there's at least one guy bone that has
- 4:37Speaker 2: to come off this thing um the big notable surprise
- 4:42Speaker 2: to me is that trevin wallace didn't even make the
- 4:46Speaker 2: roster got waived last night david moore getting waived is
- 4:50Speaker 2: notable because of his ties with Coach Knauss, but that's
- 4:53Speaker 2: one I think we started to see. Yeah, I could
- 4:55Speaker 2: see them try to have him as a veteran option
- 4:57Speaker 2: on the practice squad. Trevin Wallace, I mean, and credit
- 5:01Speaker 2: to whoever it was, there have been people that have said,
- 5:05Speaker 2: Trevin Wallace needs to get cut. And I think we
- 5:07Speaker 2: just thought, well, okay, they might not want him starting.
- 5:11Speaker 2: But clearly a third-round pick from two years ago has
- 5:14Speaker 2: to be on the roster.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Nope, doesn't have to be on the roster.
- 5:17Speaker 4: No, that's a guy that was fighting for a starting
- 5:20Speaker 4: spot as of Friday to not make the team. That's
- 5:25Speaker 4: an interesting fall for Trevin Wallace from where we thought
- 5:28Speaker 4: he was the last couple years to where he is
- 5:31Speaker 4: now to not even make the team as a depth piece. Yeah,
- 5:34Speaker 4: that to me is the first one that stood out
- 5:36Speaker 4: to me as well. Wow, he didn't even make the team.
- 5:38Speaker 2: So Friday night didn't really matter. Well, in a lot
- 5:40Speaker 2: of ways, Friday night didn't matter. But Trevin Wallace made
- 5:42Speaker 2: two amazing plays in a row.
- 5:44Speaker 7: He did.
- 5:45Speaker 2: The blitz and a sack, and then the third down stop,
- 5:47Speaker 2: big hit out in the flat, and it didn't mean
- 5:49Speaker 2: a damn thing. Which, honestly, looking back at Friday night,
- 5:53Speaker 2: I'm not sure any of it meant much of anything
- 5:56Speaker 2: other than the Panthers finishing 3-1 in the preseason.
- 5:59Speaker 7: Rawr, rawr, rawr.
- 6:00Speaker 6: Rawr, rawr.
- 6:01Speaker 2: All right, so. Chop, teeth, and claws. David Moore and
- 6:05Speaker 2: Jasim Reed? are both let go from this roster. You've
- 6:09Speaker 2: got to figure they're both candidates to be back. They've
- 6:11Speaker 2: got 16 spots on the practice squad, 17 if they
- 6:14Speaker 2: use one for one of the international guys. So there
- 6:18Speaker 2: is a lot to come. There's plenty of guys, I'm sure, Bone,
- 6:22Speaker 2: they're hoping to get through there and get back on
- 6:24Speaker 2: this roster. I was a little surprised by Jay Kurhan.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Especially when you consider, Bone, they kept 10 offensive linemen.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Chandler Zavala, Stone Forsythe, and the undrafted rookie Albert Reese
- 6:39Speaker 2: all made it. Another example of Friday not mattering, Albert
- 6:42Speaker 2: Reese looked horrendous. Four pressures allowed, one sack, also allowed
- 6:49Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett to get hit, and the ball came flying out,
- 6:51Speaker 2: but his arm was going forward. But he is big
- 6:55Speaker 2: and young, and I guess they didn't want to expose
- 6:57Speaker 2: him to waivers, but again, We are reminded this is
- 7:01Speaker 2: not going to be the final roster. Okereke's coming in, Bone,
- 7:05Speaker 2: and you'd have to think there's another move or two.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Ten offensive linemen seems weird. Chandler Zavala, I have to
- 7:09Speaker 2: be honest with you, I'm not sure there's a person
- 7:12Speaker 2: in Charlotte that thought this guy would have a job.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Yeah, you would think that Reese or Zavala would be the— Zavala, definitely. Also, Matt,
- 7:19Speaker 4: what does matter? Because Reese was bad on Friday night.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Zavala's been bad whenever he's played recently, and Stone Forsythe
- 7:26Speaker 4: was bad last year. So I'm not really sure exactly
- 7:29Speaker 4: what matters here to the back end of.
- 7:32Speaker 2: The offensive line room.
- 7:33Speaker 4: I would be surprised, though, if 10 lasts very long
- 7:36Speaker 4: as of in a couple hours from now.
- 7:38Speaker 2: It feels like that's a spot where when you need
- 7:40Speaker 2: to slide somebody in.
- 7:42Speaker 4: That's 15 offensive linemen and tight ends. Five tight ends, too.
- 7:49Speaker 4: That spot combined is 15 guys. That's not going to
- 7:52Speaker 4: last that long.
- 7:54Speaker 2: All five tight ends that we have talked about ended
- 7:57Speaker 2: up making it. They kept JT Sanders, Waller, and Felipe Franks.
- 8:01Speaker 2: There's three.
- 8:06Speaker 4: Not on outside linebackers. There's Lloyd, Cherilis, and Kuwaj. Yet
- 8:10Speaker 4: there's 10 offensive linemen. But you know we'll have four
- 8:13Speaker 4: because Okereke's coming in.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Right, right, right.
- 8:15Speaker 2: So we'll leave that spot at four. But yes, you're right.
- 8:18Speaker 2: That's a lot of guys at the O-line and the
- 8:21Speaker 2: tight end positions. I have to be honest with you, Dan.
- 8:24Speaker 2: You cut bait with Wallace. You could do the same
- 8:28Speaker 2: with Sanders. And I'm telling you, Bone, the heat is
- 8:32Speaker 2: going to be turned up. You think there's been criticism
- 8:34Speaker 2: of that 2024 draft already? Oh, yeah. The heat's about
- 8:37Speaker 2: to get turned up even more because Trevin Wallace is gone.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And we'll see what happens with Sanders. We'll see how
- 8:42Speaker 2: they play that whole Waller thing. Is he ready to
- 8:44Speaker 2: go at the start of the season? There's 27 offensive
- 8:48Speaker 2: players on this roster, three specialists and only 23 on defense.
- 8:52Speaker 2: So even though they made the trade bone for either T.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Ra Edwards or Tara Edwards, I'm not exactly sure how
- 8:59Speaker 2: we're pronouncing his name, but Dan Morgan gave up a
- 9:02Speaker 2: sixth-round pick for this young defensive tackle from the Chargers.
- 9:08Speaker 7: And.
- 9:09Speaker 2: I'll tell you, for never playing in a regular season game,
- 9:13Speaker 2: he got some damn highlights.
- 9:15Speaker 9: He does.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen it. I did, yes.
- 9:17Speaker 2: The Panthers sent out a two-minute video. But there's videos online, Bone,
- 9:22Speaker 2: of guys talking about him in the preseason. Like, this
- 9:25Speaker 2: dude's a stud. His numbers in the preseason are only
- 9:28Speaker 2: 99 snaps. He had 12 tackles, 8 pressures. So he's
- 9:35Speaker 2: an intriguing guy, and Dan gave up a sixth-round pick
- 9:39Speaker 2: in the 2028 draft to get him. Interesting, too, Mac.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Doesn't he kind of remind you a little bit of
- 9:46Speaker 4: Lee's body frame and the way he moves? Doesn't he
- 9:50Speaker 4: kind of remind you a little bit of Lee Hunter also?
- 9:52Speaker 4: So you wonder, are they not thinking that Lee will
- 9:55Speaker 4: make as big of a splash as we thought there
- 9:57Speaker 4: as a second-round draft choice? I That was my first
- 10:00Speaker 4: takeaway was I wonder what– not that they're giving up
- 10:03Speaker 4: on Lee Hunter, but I wonder if maybe Lee is
- 10:06Speaker 4: going to take a little bit of a.
- 10:07Speaker 1: While to get going here. I think they realize they
- 10:08Speaker 1: need another body there.
- 10:09Speaker 2: They need more beef. They now have six interior D linemen, Bone,
- 10:12Speaker 2: but it's Derrick Brown, it's Bobby Brown, and then it's
- 10:16Speaker 2: a bunch of young dudes. It's Cam Jackson. It's Lee Hunter.
- 10:20Speaker 2: It's our guy, the guy they added up. I've already
- 10:27Speaker 2: forgotten his name. T-Rod Edwards. T-Rod Edwards, yeah. It's Aaron Hull,
- 10:32Speaker 2: undrafted free agent from Duke. Bone, three of those guys
- 10:34Speaker 2: have never played an NFL regular season snap. Yeah, jeez.
- 10:37Speaker 2: And the other guy is Cam Jackson. He didn't play
- 10:39Speaker 2: a ton of snaps last year necessarily. So they just
- 10:44Speaker 2: went with a bunch of young bodies.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Another notable thing was– Trevor Achan placed on IR, so
- 10:50Speaker 4: it's not four running backs. So A.J. Dillon does make it,
- 10:54Speaker 4: and it's three running backs right now. Not that Dillon
- 10:56Speaker 4: making it's a surprise. I felt like as camp went along,
- 11:00Speaker 4: he was going to make it. But Achan goes on
- 11:03Speaker 4: the IR. And, Mac, we don't want to bury the
- 11:05Speaker 4: lead here, but we have to talk about the specialists.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Because J.J. Jansen has once again made the 53-man roster. Man,
- 11:12Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I was sweating, baby. I was sweating
- 11:14Speaker 2: it out. Yes, J.J., Sam Martin, and Fitzy are your specialists,
- 11:20Speaker 2: of course. As far as— what were you just talking about?
- 11:24Speaker 2: Running backs. Running backs. H.N. was hurt on Friday night.
- 11:28Speaker 2: He started the game bone. He got hurt with an
- 11:31Speaker 2: ankle injury. It is severe enough for them to put
- 11:33Speaker 2: him on IR, designated to return. You get to do
- 11:36Speaker 2: that with two players. Before the final 53. Initial 53
- 11:40Speaker 2: is out. They did it with HN. They did it
- 11:43Speaker 2: with Bam Martin Scott. So that's what's going on with
- 11:46Speaker 2: those guys. They're not out of the picture. They didn't
- 11:47Speaker 2: get cut. And their seasons are not over. They are both.
- 11:51Speaker 2: They have taken up the two IR designated to return spots.
- 11:55Speaker 2: That's another reason, Bone, why the linebacker spot in the
- 11:58Speaker 2: middle is so light. And with HN, who knows? Who
- 12:02Speaker 2: knows if Dylan would have made it if HN was healthy.
- 12:06Speaker 2: But for now, Dylan's on there. And, yeah, I think
- 12:08Speaker 2: he did a lot of good things in the preseason,
- 12:11Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Got to shout out Jackson Kuwach.
- 12:15Speaker 2: I've got to be honest. There were plenty of people
- 12:17Speaker 2: talking about him. I didn't feel the same way as
- 12:22Speaker 2: a lot of people, including Walker Mayle, who is trying
- 12:25Speaker 2: to elevate him into Moussa crush status, apparently. He's the
- 12:29Speaker 2: leader of Kuwach.
- 12:31Speaker 5: I have to come to the defense of Walker.
- 12:35Speaker 6: That is actually Wes's guy.
- 12:36Speaker 5: I misidentified which dub was a Kuwach guy.
- 12:41Speaker 4: Put that in the 10 o'clock hour where Walker gets
- 12:43Speaker 4: mad at Fiddy.
- 12:45Speaker 2: That's a good point, though.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Why would Walker crush on a Panther player?
- 12:48Speaker 2: Seriously. A non-Hornet.
- 12:49Speaker 4: I had a long conversation one-on-one with Walker on Friday
- 12:52Speaker 4: about Fiddy offering up his grandmother to be at NC State.
- 12:56Speaker 2: And Walker.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Walker loved it because it proves further what a horrible
- 13:00Speaker 4: human that video is.
- 13:03Speaker 2: That is hilarious. Yeah, KB said a big bulk of
- 13:08Speaker 2: their trip to– To Harris Cherokee Casino on Friday was
- 13:15Speaker 2: about that. Did KB find it amusing? Was KB disappointed
- 13:19Speaker 2: in you? What was your big brother there telling you?
- 13:23Speaker 5: When I doubled down on the air, Mac, Kyle did
- 13:26Speaker 5: a laugh. and went so far sideways, I thought his
- 13:30Speaker 5: headset was going to fall off.
- 13:32Speaker 2: So when you doubled down on his show. Yeah, because
- 13:34Speaker 2: at that point, that was about quadrupling down at that point.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Yes.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Because you had come back on our show. We had
- 13:38Speaker 2: given you chances, and you had just kept reiterating that
- 13:42Speaker 2: poor Maumau can leave this earth if you can beat
- 13:44Speaker 2: the Wolfpack.
- 13:45Speaker 5: And look, the way she acted yesterday, I feel convicted
- 13:48Speaker 5: of what I had to say. But he was– because
- 13:51Speaker 5: I put it like this to Kyle. He's a Virginia
- 13:54Speaker 5: Tech guy. I said, you ever lost five straight games
- 13:56Speaker 5: to Virginia?
- 13:57Speaker 6: He said, no. I said, well, when it happens, you'll
- 13:59Speaker 6: get desperate.
- 14:00Speaker 2: I got to be honest, I didn't even know Bone
- 14:02Speaker 2: Fitty cared this much about you Carolina football. Now basketball,
- 14:07Speaker 2: I don't know if we would have blinked, Bone. If
- 14:09Speaker 2: he started offering up family members for basketball wins. I
- 14:11Speaker 2: have loved this program since the sixth grade. I know
- 14:15Speaker 2: Flounder makes everyone think that he's Mr. Torrio.
- 14:18Speaker 6: And that Carolina football runs through Flounder's pouch?
- 14:21Speaker 2: No.
- 14:22Speaker 6: I love Carolina football just as much as anybody.
- 14:24Speaker 4: I think it's viewed as Flounder does. Flounder's the football guy,
- 14:28Speaker 4: you're the basketball guy. And every other fan's a basketball guy.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Not that you don't have passion, but I think that's
- 14:33Speaker 4: just what it comes across as.
- 14:35Speaker 6: I'm a Carolina guy. You cut me open, I bleed
- 14:37Speaker 6: Carolina blue. It doesn't matter.
- 14:39Speaker 2: You're going to start crying?
- 14:40Speaker 1: You're going to start crying?
- 14:41Speaker 4: Matt, can I go back to Jackson Kuwaj real quick
- 14:43Speaker 4: here because that's what started this whole thing? The other day,
- 14:45Speaker 4: I'm like you, when Dan Morgan was in the booth
- 14:48Speaker 4: on Friday night and he was starting to really talk
- 14:51Speaker 4: of Jackson Kuwaj, I started to think, oh, is he
- 14:53Speaker 4: going to make this thing?
- 14:56Speaker 2: He played pretty good on Friday. Yeah, he did. But yeah,
- 14:59Speaker 2: you're right. That's a good point. You kind of heard
- 15:01Speaker 2: the way he's talking about it. I was like, oh, okay.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Dan Morgan talks up a white linebacker, I'm all ears.
- 15:07Speaker 2: So we were talking about this off the air. If
- 15:09Speaker 2: he makes a play in a regular season game, do
- 15:12Speaker 2: Panther fans go, Coo!
- 15:14Speaker 1: Or do Panther fans just go, Luke! Which one do
- 15:18Speaker 1: they do?
- 15:18Speaker 4: Or does it come across where the fans are trying
- 15:21Speaker 4: to coo, but it's going to sound like Luke, and
- 15:23Speaker 4: we're going to have to figure out when we come
- 15:24Speaker 4: back where the fans.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Are going or looking. Because I actually have an idea
- 15:29Speaker 2: that every white linebacker until the end of civilization that
- 15:32Speaker 2: makes a play for the Panthers should just get lube. Like,
- 15:34Speaker 2: just for, like, sense of humor, still honoring lube.
- 15:38Speaker 6: Just like A.J.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Klein used to or Dan Conner or any of those guys.
- 15:41Speaker 4: And the Panthers should just flash up Luke on the
- 15:42Speaker 4: video board, like, flexing, right?
- 15:44Speaker 2: Like, buy into this whole thing. But you could coup him.
- 15:47Speaker 2: But that's a decision everybody needs to make as a
- 15:49Speaker 2: fan base.
- 15:50Speaker 4: And with all these roster spots we're talking about, we
- 15:52Speaker 4: were talking about– you know, O'Kareke and his signing coming up.
- 15:57Speaker 4: What's the status of Turk Wharton as well? Because he,
- 16:00Speaker 4: beginning of camp, he was working pretty hard there. Is he,
- 16:03Speaker 4: when does he come back?
- 16:04Speaker 1: Okay, good.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up because we did not
- 16:06Speaker 2: mention three guys that need to be mentioned here. Turk
- 16:10Speaker 2: Wharton is one of them. He is on the physically
- 16:14Speaker 2: unable to, or he's on the non, he's on the
- 16:17Speaker 2: non-football injury list, I believe. But whatever it is... Is
- 16:22Speaker 2: it on the reserve list? I'll get the actual list names.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Okay.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Moten to reserve non-football injury list. Icky and Wharton to
- 16:31Speaker 2: reserve physically underperform list. They mean the same thing. They
- 16:35Speaker 2: mean you have to miss the first four games. So
- 16:38Speaker 2: we know that those guys, all three of them, unfortunately,
- 16:41Speaker 2: will be out for the first four weeks. But you're
- 16:44Speaker 2: able to use those list bone so that you can have...
- 16:48Speaker 2: guys on the roster, and they don't take up spots
- 16:50Speaker 2: on your 53. But yes, unfortunately, every one of those
- 16:54Speaker 2: guys we know is at least out four weeks now.
- 16:56Speaker 4: But do the Panthers benefit from the early bye, even
- 17:00Speaker 4: though it's not ideal? Do they benefit from the early
- 17:03Speaker 4: bye being at the four-game mark? Then they have another week.
- 17:06Speaker 2: So those guys can take the first five weeks off,
- 17:09Speaker 2: and do you get any of them in week six? Yeah,
- 17:12Speaker 2: that's the benefit of having that early bye. Possibly, but
- 17:15Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and act like I
- 17:16Speaker 2: have any idea what the time frames are. Because they
- 17:20Speaker 2: have not really told us squat diddly. Not at all.
- 17:23Speaker 2: You know what I mean? We're all just guessing, and
- 17:26Speaker 2: we have been guessing the whole offseason. The Braves yesterday
- 17:30Speaker 2: wrap up a sweep over the Rockies. They are on
- 17:33Speaker 2: fire right now. And speaking of on fire, Scotty Scheffler yesterday, Bo,
- 17:39Speaker 2: rallies from three back to start the final round of
- 17:41Speaker 2: the Tour Championship. He wins the Tour Championship, wins the
- 17:45Speaker 2: FedEx Cup for the second time in three years, and
- 17:49Speaker 2: drinks a beer after the round, which apparently he doesn't
- 17:51Speaker 2: do often. Apparently it was a big deal. His family
- 17:54Speaker 2: couldn't believe he was drinking a beer, Bone. He got
- 17:56Speaker 2: crazy yesterday. And in the process, passed Tiger Woods as
- 18:00Speaker 2: the all-time earnings leader in the history of golf career earnings.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Over $ 130 million, Bone.
- 18:08Speaker 2: And he hasn't really been around all that long to
- 18:10Speaker 2: make that.
- 18:10Speaker 4: I mean, that shows you how much this guy's been
- 18:12Speaker 4: performing at a high level to already have passed Tiger,
- 18:15Speaker 4: for crying out loud. That is crazy also, and we'll
- 18:18Speaker 4: get more into this later on in the hour. Mack
- 18:20Speaker 4: said it. Charlotte FC, big win on the road. Actually,
- 18:23Speaker 4: Mack is basically their home away from home at this point.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Four straight.
- 18:26Speaker 1: In Atlanta.
- 18:27Speaker 4: And Ryan Preece wins the race in Daytona Saturday night.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Crazy.
- 18:32Speaker 4: Races his way in. So we'll cover that here throughout
- 18:36Speaker 4: the morning as well. We come back, though. It's college
- 18:38Speaker 4: football time. Weekend recap.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Here you go, Finney.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Here you go, Finney. The heels.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Win in Ireland. State gets routed in the Commonwealth. What
- 18:47Speaker 4: else was notable from the weekend? Florida State, oh my goodness.
- 18:50Speaker 4: And the SEC might be taking a big old L-ski.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 19:21Speaker 7: We have a long way to go. So we'll go back,
- 19:24Speaker 7: we'll get to work. There's a lot of things we
- 19:25Speaker 7: can fix, do better, and improve on, and we'll certainly
- 19:28Speaker 7: work on those. So that's going to certainly be the
- 19:32Speaker 7: way it is after every game early in the season.
- 19:34Speaker 7: I think once you get to the fifth, sixth, seventh
- 19:36Speaker 7: game of the year, somewhere in there in October, then
- 19:40Speaker 7: you kind of hit your stride a little bit, and
- 19:43Speaker 7: then you start playing the second half of the season.
- 19:45Speaker 7: So we're not there yet. There's a lot of things
- 19:47Speaker 7: that we need to coach better, that we need to execute, better,
- 19:50Speaker 7: that we just need to do better, and then we'll
- 19:52Speaker 7: be back and work on those.
- 19:55Speaker 2: What a Belichickian answer in the post-game presser. Asked about
- 20:00Speaker 2: what this means going forward in the ACC season, and
- 20:03Speaker 2: of course he says.
- 20:04Speaker 1: We have a long way to go.
- 20:05Speaker 2: We didn't do anything. Just a nice win, but we
- 20:07Speaker 2: didn't do anything. Oh, he's back now, baby. Very Belichickian.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Ignoring the sideline reporter, mumbling, winning.
- 20:13Speaker 1: He put a move. He put a move on Dana Boyle,
- 20:18Speaker 1: did he not?
- 20:19Speaker 2: Yes. He put a little step right, cross her over
- 20:22Speaker 2: to the left.
- 20:23Speaker 4: It was like when he walked by the fans in Detroit,
- 20:27Speaker 4: the kids, that he wouldn't shake their hands.
- 20:30Speaker 2: He's got that move down pat, ignoring people. That's what
- 20:32Speaker 2: I said.
- 20:32Speaker 1: You want me to come back and fall on back, baby,
- 20:34Speaker 1: right here. Oh, man. Was it not at least tempting
- 20:36Speaker 1: him to say, how.
- 20:37Speaker 2: You like me now?
- 20:38Speaker 1: How you like me now, haters? We're on East Tennessee State.
- 20:41Speaker 2: National media. Everybody in the free world, how you like
- 20:44Speaker 2: me now? He could have even done a Sonny Dykes,
- 20:46Speaker 2: how you like me now? Remember Sonny Dykes gloating last
- 20:50Speaker 2: year when they won in Chapel Hill? And he said,
- 20:53Speaker 2: we were tired of hearing everything about them, everything about
- 20:56Speaker 2: their coach. And it ticked us off. Um, well, Bill
- 21:01Speaker 2: Belichick could have dropped one. And of course, he's not
- 21:03Speaker 2: interested in doing that sort of thing, right? It's one game.
- 21:06Speaker 2: It was far from a perfect game by them. But
- 21:08Speaker 2: my God, Bone, many people did not see this coming.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Many of them included on the list. I mean, you
- 21:15Speaker 2: couldn't find anybody other than Complainer and Chief and Fitty
- 21:20Speaker 2: that believed going into the weekend that And they freaking
- 21:24Speaker 2: did it, man.
- 21:25Speaker 4: And Tar Heel fans should be elated. The Larry and
- 21:27Speaker 4: Balky of Tar Heel Nation. They got this one right.
- 21:30Speaker 4: That would be Complainer-in-Chief and Fitty there. That's a perfect
- 21:33Speaker 4: Strangers reference. A very old show if you're a youngster.
- 21:38Speaker 4: You talk about... adjusting the right way. Old school Bill Belichick.
- 21:43Speaker 4: I will take away what you're doing well. Sometimes it's
- 21:46Speaker 4: before the game. This time it was in the game.
- 21:49Speaker 4: It looked like TCU was going to run them off
- 21:52Speaker 4: the field by running to the outside. They had 111
- 21:55Speaker 4: yards in the first half, rushing the football. 98 by
- 21:59Speaker 4: Jeremy Payne. In the second half, 26 yards rushing for TCU.
- 22:05Speaker 4: Are there some sacks in there that get taken away?
- 22:08Speaker 4: So sometimes the yardage can be a little bit.
- 22:10Speaker 2: And also the 31-yard loss on the bad snap on
- 22:16Speaker 2: the punt that resulted in a safety. That counts as
- 22:17Speaker 2: a loss.
- 22:18Speaker 1: That, for some reason, gets taken out of the rush stats.
- 22:20Speaker 2: So ultimately, they ended up.
- 22:21Speaker 4: Payne ended up with 44 second-half rushing yards compared to 98,
- 22:25Speaker 4: but as a team... Because of that loss yardage, it's 26.
- 22:28Speaker 4: But what a job, Mac. Forcing the runs back to
- 22:31Speaker 4: the inside and taking away where TCU had a big
- 22:35Speaker 4: advantage in the first half.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they were killing them with the outside runs. It's
- 22:38Speaker 2: a great adjustment defensively. And they did it without Steve Belichick.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Their defensive coordinator is still out on medical leave. Bill
- 22:45Speaker 2: Belichick would not admit... if it was him calling all
- 22:49Speaker 2: the defensive plays. For some reason, that has to remain
- 22:51Speaker 2: a secret. I don't understand why, but he said, hey,
- 22:54Speaker 2: it was a collective effort by all of us on
- 22:56Speaker 2: the defensive staff, but all of you did an amazing job. Carolina,
- 23:01Speaker 2: I didn't know they'd be bringing the heat like that, Bone,
- 23:04Speaker 2: on the defensive front. My Lord, Xavier Lewis. I was
- 23:09Speaker 2: lamenting guys like Tyler Thompson and all these guys they
- 23:11Speaker 2: lost off the front in the offseason. But in this year,
- 23:15Speaker 2: this day and age, Bone, we're very unaware of what
- 23:18Speaker 2: is replacing those guys. And he is a zero-star recruit
- 23:22Speaker 2: out of Roseville High. And this dude rolled that whole
- 23:26Speaker 2: damn front of TCU individually. Four and a half tackles
- 23:31Speaker 2: for loss, six tackles. This dude was an absolute wrecking ball.
- 23:35Speaker 2: But Leroy Jackson was good, too. Abu Jaude, we know
- 23:40Speaker 2: he was going to bring it. Had a big sack
- 23:42Speaker 2: force fumble. TCU bone made more mistakes. TCU, I'm going
- 23:47Speaker 2: to say it, looked like Carolina did last season. Killing themselves.
- 23:51Speaker 2: 11 penalties in this game, and what a fitting way
- 23:54Speaker 2: for the game to end by TCU when everybody from
- 23:58Speaker 2: Ireland to the U.S. knows they are just trying to
- 24:02Speaker 2: get you to jump off sides. And they do it anyway.
- 24:06Speaker 2: What a fitting way for it to end because TCU
- 24:09Speaker 2: was ridiculous in terms of beating themselves.
- 24:11Speaker 1: But Carolina, Bone. They made mistakes, too. Don't get me wrong.
- 24:15Speaker 2: But Carolina, a lot cleaner than what they were most
- 24:19Speaker 2: of the year last year.
- 24:20Speaker 4: They won in a very Belichick way. It was the adjustments,
- 24:24Speaker 4: low scoring. You mentioned Lewis and nondescript guys that he
- 24:29Speaker 4: maxed out within the game like that, playing well. And
- 24:33Speaker 4: it was TCU, all their penalties, and the lack of
- 24:36Speaker 4: penalties on the heel side. Three penalties for the heels. Yeah,
- 24:39Speaker 4: it was three in the game. That's it. Not beating
- 24:42Speaker 4: yourself was a Belichick staple when his teams were at
- 24:47Speaker 4: their best in terms of when he was at his
- 24:49Speaker 4: best coaching. And you saw a lot of that the
- 24:51Speaker 4: other day. They were not beating themselves in that football game.
- 24:53Speaker 2: And they looked like, I think, some people thought the
- 24:57Speaker 2: Bill Belichick coach Tar Heels would be last year. but
- 25:01Speaker 2: they ended up being the complete opposite because they beat
- 25:03Speaker 2: themselves routinely over and over again. They also were tough.
- 25:10Speaker 1: We're tough in the trenches.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Now, the running game's still got a ways to go,
- 25:13Speaker 2: but I'll be damned if they didn't put big old
- 25:15Speaker 2: June in there, Bone, when they needed to run the ball,
- 25:17Speaker 2: run the clock out, and did a hell of a
- 25:18Speaker 2: job of it there. Billy Edwards was really solid. My God,
- 25:23Speaker 2: if you were to tell me one of those quarterbacks
- 25:25Speaker 2: was getting hyped up the way they were in the
- 25:28Speaker 2: lead-up to the game, I would have thought watching the
- 25:29Speaker 2: game was Billy Edwards. He was really solid. He actually
- 25:32Speaker 2: got the ball downfield a bit more. My God, what
- 25:35Speaker 2: a weapon Thurman is at tight end. That little play
- 25:37Speaker 2: action boot and dump off the Thurman. That is something
- 25:40Speaker 2: right there. And let me tell you about this kid, Craig.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Holy crap, where we sold a bill of goods on
- 25:47Speaker 2: this dude. bone people talking him up as like a
- 25:51Speaker 2: second day nfl pick or something i i thought he
- 25:54Speaker 2: was really bad including the fourth down play where he
- 25:59Speaker 2: could have run the ball and got the first down
- 26:01Speaker 2: and tries to force a pass and it sails high
- 26:03Speaker 2: he was so inaccurate i know it was wet over
- 26:06Speaker 2: there and stuff it was raining i was thoroughly unimpressed
- 26:09Speaker 2: with that cat.
- 26:09Speaker 4: Well, big difference in the Hoover-Briles combo into what they
- 26:14Speaker 4: had the other day, especially when you're in week zero.
- 26:19Speaker 4: and teams often are– and those games are played in
- 26:23Speaker 4: that way a lot. I think the under has hit
- 26:25Speaker 4: all but one game in the Ireland games. And that's
- 26:28Speaker 4: the Notre Dame game because they probably covered the over
- 26:30Speaker 4: by themselves against David. And Notre Dame scored about 45
- 26:32Speaker 4: or 50 on their own in that game. So, yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons why I thought UNC had
- 26:37Speaker 4: a chance to play. I didn't think they were going
- 26:38Speaker 4: to win the game. I'm not saying that, but I
- 26:39Speaker 4: thought they would play within the spread. But, yeah, Craig,
- 26:43Speaker 4: and then– Max Brown, who I think is good on
- 26:46Speaker 4: the ACC network as the partner for Wes Durham, he
- 26:49Speaker 4: was talking about how You know, Craig could have come
- 26:54Speaker 4: out as a day three draft choice last year, and
- 26:56Speaker 4: I saw none of that the other day.
- 26:58Speaker 2: But we all fell for it. On Friday, we're sitting
- 27:01Speaker 2: here talking about Craig, and, man, people are talking him up. Oh,
- 27:04Speaker 2: my gosh. But kudos to Billy Edwards. I like that.
- 27:07Speaker 2: They still got to find some more wide receivers, Bo.
- 27:10Speaker 2: You know what I mean? To consistently make plays. But
- 27:12Speaker 2: you look at the way Belichick's first season started, the
- 27:14Speaker 2: way this season started. Holy crap. Fit dog. You told us, baby.
- 27:21Speaker 2: You and Complainer and Chief, whether we like it or not, Bone,
- 27:24Speaker 2: they've got to be the heroes on today's radio show.
- 27:27Speaker 2: They both believed, and I'm not sure anybody else did.
- 27:30Speaker 2: I don't even know if Jordan Hudson believed, Bone. Finney,
- 27:33Speaker 2: how fired up are you, my friend?
- 27:35Speaker 5: I thought Saturday, Mac, was validation to everything that Belichick
- 27:40Speaker 5: has preached. since last season came to an end. They
- 27:43Speaker 5: got the freshmen in. They got their transfer portal class in.
- 27:47Speaker 5: And every time he talked, he said, hey, we're further
- 27:49Speaker 5: along than where we were a year ago. We've got
- 27:51Speaker 5: more continuity. There's better chemistry. And that showed on Saturday.
- 27:57Speaker 5: That reflected.
- 27:58Speaker 6: Because, Matt, how they went over there.
- 27:59Speaker 5: And got their ass kicked, then everything that he said
- 28:03Speaker 5: all season goes out the window, and we're probably starting
- 28:05Speaker 5: on the clock to when is this experiment going to
- 28:08Speaker 5: come to an end.
- 28:09Speaker 6: Oh, no doubt.
- 28:09Speaker 2: No doubt.
- 28:11Speaker 6: It took until game 13. It took until year two.
- 28:15Speaker 5: But that's why you hired Bill Belichick, was to win
- 28:18Speaker 5: that type of game. Because, Mac, they don't win those
- 28:21Speaker 5: games under Mac Brown. Those are the games that Carolina
- 28:23Speaker 5: would have lost. Because they wouldn't have been tough enough.
- 28:26Speaker 5: They wouldn't have made the adjustments. And I do think,
- 28:30Speaker 5: you know, you saw that.
- 28:31Speaker 2: In fairness, Mack Brown would have had a future NFL
- 28:33Speaker 2: quarterback and put up like 40. And still would have lost.
- 28:37Speaker 2: In many cases.
- 28:38Speaker 6: And still would have lost.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Why you got to defame your greatest coach ever because
- 28:41Speaker 2: Belichick got his biggest win. I thought you missed Mack Brown.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Why are you doing that, Freddie? I thought you missed
- 28:45Speaker 2: Mack Brown like two weeks ago.
- 28:46Speaker 6: I do. I always miss the person.
- 28:48Speaker 3: God.
- 28:49Speaker 6: That's why you hide.
- 28:50Speaker 5: And don't tell me, dude, that emotion that you saw
- 28:52Speaker 5: from Belichick where he pointed at the first down, you
- 28:56Speaker 5: see him up on the stage with the helmet celebrating
- 28:58Speaker 5: with his team. You never saw that when he won
- 29:00Speaker 5: Super Bowls, dude. Like he was just a miserable old grump.
- 29:04Speaker 5: Don't tell me he, he knows what's been said. He
- 29:06Speaker 5: knows what's been written.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 29:08Speaker 5: And I'm not going to say that I haven't taken
- 29:10Speaker 5: my shots at him too.
- 29:10Speaker 4: I was going to say, didn't you, you were trying to,
- 29:12Speaker 4: didn't during the Lombardi stuff, you were ready for this
- 29:15Speaker 4: whole thing to end?
- 29:16Speaker 5: Well, yeah, because I wanted the Lombardi stuff to win.
- 29:20Speaker 5: I've bought into the vision of what they're trying to sell,
- 29:24Speaker 5: and you saw the fruits of that labor on Saturday.
- 29:27Speaker 5: I'm not saying this team's going to win eight, nine games.
- 29:30Speaker 5: I still think they're probably a 6-6 football team, man.
- 29:34Speaker 2: That would be huge. 6-6 with that schedule would be amazing.
- 29:38Speaker 5: But for the first time since he got hired, Mac,
- 29:41Speaker 5: Carolina football was the talk of the sports world on
- 29:44Speaker 5: Saturday in a positive way.
- 29:46Speaker 1: There you go.
- 29:46Speaker 2: And you know who was a— And I've.
- 29:49Speaker 6: Waited all my damn life. To have that kind of moment.
- 29:52Speaker 2: I think you also waited all your life, too, is
- 29:55Speaker 2: on the same day as that moment to have NC
- 29:57Speaker 2: State be the talk of the college football world in
- 30:00Speaker 2: a negative fashion.
- 30:01Speaker 6: Oh, doggie.
- 30:01Speaker 2: What a day for Tar Heel fans, man. Y'all enjoy it.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Y'all harass all the Wook Pack fans you know. I
- 30:07Speaker 2: don't know any around here, but y'all just harass them,
- 30:09Speaker 2: all right, at the office day and stuff like that. Morning, Mac.
- 30:12Speaker 2: NC State... Got their rear ends kicked. And I'm going
- 30:15Speaker 2: to tell you this right now, Fitty, clip this and
- 30:17Speaker 2: save this. If I ever try to hype up NC
- 30:21Speaker 2: State in the summer again, I would like you to
- 30:24Speaker 2: hit me over the head with a blunt object. And
- 30:27Speaker 2: tell me to stop. Because how many damn times, I'm
- 30:30Speaker 2: like the puppy dog, make your puppy dog Murphy. How
- 30:33Speaker 2: many times do I need to make the same mistake
- 30:37Speaker 2: with this team in the summer only to have them
- 30:40Speaker 2: very quickly inform me and the rest of the world
- 30:44Speaker 2: that's hyping them? Yeah, they ain't really worth all that hype.
- 30:47Speaker 2: My God, that was ugly bone.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, Virginia was favored, so state losing
- 30:56Speaker 4: is not a shocker by any means. But the way
- 30:59Speaker 4: they showed up or did not show up, you have
- 31:02Speaker 4: all that time to have your team ready. And Mac,
- 31:05Speaker 4: one of the defensive players, your guy Popo, says after
- 31:08Speaker 4: the game that they did not anticipate Bo Pribula being
- 31:13Speaker 4: the running quarterback that he was.
- 31:14Speaker 2: What the hell?
- 31:16Speaker 1: That was a quote after the game. His number one skill.
- 31:18Speaker 4: Yeah, they said they were not prepared for him to
- 31:20Speaker 4: run as much as he did. How in the world
- 31:22Speaker 4: do you spend all that time in the summer getting
- 31:25Speaker 4: ready for this game and you're not prepared for what
- 31:29Speaker 4: the quarterback does? He's like a little pavia type guy.
- 31:31Speaker 4: That's what he does. He moves. He's been around forever.
- 31:35Speaker 4: How did you not know what Bo Perbule does? He's
- 31:38Speaker 4: not necessarily the best dropback passer, but he runs it
- 31:42Speaker 4: a lot.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weird to me. That's a very weird quote.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Dave Doran did say afterwards, you got that clip, Fitty?
- 31:48Speaker 2: I know you love playing sad Doran. He talked afterwards, Bone,
- 31:54Speaker 2: about how we need to work our butts off, him specifically,
- 31:58Speaker 2: these next two weeks to turn this thing down.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And he did say, that loss is on me.
- 32:03Speaker 10: From now until, I guess it's 13 days from now,
- 32:07Speaker 10: we're going to play a game. We're going to be
- 32:09Speaker 10: working to get better every day in every area. And
- 32:12Speaker 10: one day at a time. These guys, there's a lot
- 32:15Speaker 10: of football left in this season, and that's the thing
- 32:18Speaker 10: I told them. Virginia lost to us last year and
- 32:20Speaker 10: still won 11 games. So there's a lot of football.
- 32:24Speaker 10: There's a lot to play for. The world's not going
- 32:25Speaker 10: to end. But it was disappointing as hell to say
- 32:29Speaker 10: the least, to see how we played today.
- 32:31Speaker 2: And I own that.
- 32:32Speaker 10: That's all I mean. So everybody can blame that coach.
- 32:35Speaker 4: That's great.
- 32:36Speaker 10: And I'm going to go in there and work my
- 32:37Speaker 10: ass off for these guys and help them.
- 32:39Speaker 5: Glad to know he has two weeks to get his
- 32:41Speaker 5: team ready to play a football game.
- 32:42Speaker 6: Had nine months.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Wasn't prepared. Had nine months for him.
- 32:46Speaker 6: Great work ethic there, Dave.
- 32:47Speaker 2: For him and D coordinator DJ Elliott Bone had the
- 32:50Speaker 2: whole offseason to inform the team that Boat Pribule is
- 32:54Speaker 2: a running threat. Apparently might not have done that. Here's
- 32:57Speaker 2: the quote from Popo. Popo Geary had 18 tackles, by
- 33:01Speaker 2: the way. And I'm not even sure he played good, Bone,
- 33:03Speaker 2: but he had 18 tackles because he's the middle linebacker.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Virginia ran it 57 times.
- 33:08Speaker 4: Yeah, Corey Smith of PacPower247 has the quote. He's on
- 33:13Speaker 4: our show at 825. Quote, good player. We expected that,
- 33:17Speaker 4: but we didn't expect as many quarterback runs from him.
- 33:20Speaker 2: End quote. I mean, they were heavy with the quarterback runs.
- 33:24Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.
- 33:25Speaker 4: The total yards, 413 to 168 on the ground. And
- 33:30Speaker 4: Virginia threw a ton of dudes. And they lost Taylor
- 33:33Speaker 4: in the offseason. They threw a ton of dudes out there.
- 33:35Speaker 4: 256 to 76 on the ground. For a team that
- 33:38Speaker 4: has Duke Scott, one of the best running backs in
- 33:41Speaker 4: the ACC, Virginia said, all right, we'll throw about three
- 33:44Speaker 4: or four guys out there.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Yeah, Middlebrooks, the transfer, Evans. Evans is the one that
- 33:49Speaker 2: caught the big touchdown pass. By the way, Popo, were
- 33:52Speaker 2: you taught how to cover in the offseason, bro? Because
- 33:54Speaker 2: you got absolutely smoked on that one. And then Vic
- 33:58Speaker 2: got smoked on the other deep ball. I thought Virginia
- 34:01Speaker 2: just absolutely dominated them in the trenches with that veteran O-line.
- 34:06Speaker 2: They outcoached NC State severely. Former state offense coordinator Des Kitchens,
- 34:13Speaker 2: that drive in the second half, After running it 30
- 34:16Speaker 2: times and only throwing three times in the first half,
- 34:19Speaker 2: he comes out and says, we're going to go play
- 34:22Speaker 2: action and throw the ball downfield. And State was clearly
- 34:26Speaker 2: all about stopping the run. That was brilliant coaching. I
- 34:30Speaker 2: can't say enough about Virginia. We'll talk about them a
- 34:33Speaker 2: bunch today. Wahoo Steve has been all over me, Bone,
- 34:36Speaker 2: on social media, on the text line. He's all over
- 34:39Speaker 2: your popo. And he should be. How about how bad C.J.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Bailey looked? That's a first-round pick? He's the best quarterback
- 34:48Speaker 2: in his own state. I would love to see the
- 34:50Speaker 2: All-22 of that because it appeared there was hardly anybody open.
- 34:59Speaker 2: That receiving core, Bone, that I said, oh, yeah, they're
- 35:02Speaker 2: going to be fine. Yeah, they lost their top five
- 35:04Speaker 2: pass catcher.
- 35:05Speaker 1: I'm not sure, Bone, they're going to be fine.
- 35:07Speaker 2: No, no. Because those guys, I don't think we're getting
- 35:10Speaker 2: separation at all. But we'll talk about it a bunch.
- 35:13Speaker 2: I did want to mention, though, Bone. Lenore Sellers couldn't
- 35:16Speaker 2: possibly be better than him at all. Hold on. Do
- 35:19Speaker 2: we need to pull Lenore Sellers' tape out from last year?
- 35:21Speaker 2: What did I say? I'm just saying, Lenore Sellers. Okay,
- 35:26Speaker 2: I'm just going to remind you. And let me show
- 35:27Speaker 2: you the tape of Lenore's last year. But anyway.
- 35:32Speaker 2: And C.J. Bailey will be better than that. We'll talk
- 35:35Speaker 2: about it. We got all day to talk about, like,
- 35:37Speaker 2: what did the win say about Carolina? What did the
- 35:39Speaker 2: loss say about State? Like, is this who the teams are? Like,
- 35:43Speaker 2: what do we think is coming the rest of the way?
- 35:45Speaker 2: I just wanted to mention, T-Bone, the... situation with the
- 35:51Speaker 2: SEC specifically. It doesn't feel like any of these lawsuits
- 35:55Speaker 2: are coming for the other conferences, Bone, that have banned
- 35:58Speaker 2: NFL players coming back to college football. They're all coming
- 36:01Speaker 2: after the SEC, probably because all these players want to
- 36:05Speaker 2: play for Lane Kiffin. But it was a good weekend
- 36:09Speaker 2: for the Lane Kiffin side of things and these guys
- 36:12Speaker 2: trying to get back. There is a Louisiana court case
- 36:18Speaker 2: where they were able to get a temporary restraining order
- 36:20Speaker 2: to where, as of this minute, Bone, it is legal
- 36:23Speaker 2: for the NFL players to come back. That court case
- 36:26Speaker 2: was specifically against the SEC, the NCAA, and Greg Sankey personally.
- 36:32Speaker 9: And.
- 36:33Speaker 2: But the court proceedings will happen Thursday morning. So we
- 36:36Speaker 2: still won't know, Bone. It's the day that week one starts.
- 36:40Speaker 2: We already had week zero. And I guess they'll get
- 36:43Speaker 2: an answer on Thursday in a Louisiana courtroom definitively. So anyway.
- 36:48Speaker 4: Also, Will Wade is apparently, Matt, trying to get Trey Kaufman-Wren.
- 36:52Speaker 4: to his program the 2021 high school graduate who played
- 36:56Speaker 4: five years at purdue is 24 years old but he
- 36:59Speaker 4: had a red shirt year so now matt there's injunctions
- 37:02Speaker 4: to try to get trey kaufman rend in college basketball.
- 37:05Speaker 2: And he should not be eligible that would be five
- 37:07Speaker 2: years and six years that's not what this rule is
- 37:09Speaker 2: all about this rule is about five and five and
- 37:12Speaker 2: the and the guy's bone that would have been their
- 37:13Speaker 2: fifth year in five years you know trying the ncaa
- 37:16Speaker 2: trying to make them ineligible this dude should not get
- 37:19Speaker 2: eligibility at some point a judge can a judge at
- 37:22Speaker 2: some point though take a stand and say okay somebody
- 37:27Speaker 2: can't play college sports he's been.
- 37:28Speaker 6: In college longer than that was in kindergarten.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Right now they're putting everybody in what about bone bone
- 37:32Speaker 2: did the same schedule for this meet kindergarten.
- 37:35Speaker 4: I still got eligibility about the kindergarten i left early
- 37:38Speaker 4: When we come back, sounds of the weekend. You're going
- 37:41Speaker 4: to hear from Willie P, national media doubters reacting to
- 37:44Speaker 4: the UNC wind. Another media member calls out Dabo and Eli.
- 37:50Speaker 4: Big drink goes off on the sport of college football.
- 37:53Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Diaz passed the middle, went through too many people to
- 38:23Speaker 2: get to an Atlanta boot. It comes to Charlotte. Gianni
- 38:26Speaker 2: for St.
- 38:27Speaker 9: Maximin.
- 38:27Speaker 6: Maxi into the middle.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Still Allen St.
- 38:29Speaker 7: Maximin.
- 38:30Speaker 2: A slight tackle is missed. Pass right side for Abada.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Abada in the area.
- 38:33Speaker 8: A shot.
- 38:34Speaker 1: He scores!
- 38:36Speaker 6: Abada boom!
- 38:39Speaker 2: He has done it.
- 38:39Speaker 6: Again in Atlanta.
- 38:42Speaker 5: Leal Labada, his fourth head-to-head goal against.
- 38:45Speaker 6: The Five Stripes.
- 38:47Speaker 2: And the crowd double the lead in the 48th minute.
- 38:49Speaker 7: 2-0.
- 38:52Speaker 1: There you go, Boney.
- 38:53Speaker 2: We won it and a bada-boom! And we got a
- 38:56Speaker 2: bada-boom from Willie P., ladies and gentlemen. That was the
- 39:00Speaker 2: second goal, by the way, set up for a beautiful
- 39:03Speaker 2: run through about five dudes in the Atlanta midfield by Maxie.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Maxie had two assists. One was the secondary assist where
- 39:13Speaker 2: he went down that left flank bone and crossed it.
- 39:17Speaker 2: That one there, he just drove it right through the
- 39:20Speaker 2: entire defense area. What a performance by Charlotte FC in
- 39:23Speaker 2: the 2-0 win.
- 39:24Speaker 4: Yeah, at a place they continue to dominate at. I
- 39:27Speaker 4: know Atlanta's not very good, but nonetheless, Charlotte just owns
- 39:31Speaker 4: them in their own place there. Mack, yes, that's a
- 39:35Speaker 4: very good goal call by Willie, but I noticed that
- 39:37Speaker 4: he has not yet acknowledged my idea for about a
- 39:41Speaker 4: month ago.
- 39:41Speaker 1: I said... Can we get a what a shot of
- 39:44Speaker 1: by Abada?
- 39:45Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 39:45Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for that one. That might be a
- 39:47Speaker 1: bridge too far.
- 39:48Speaker 2: But he was very proud yesterday morning saying, you guys
- 39:51Speaker 2: wanted an Abada boom. And he showed us the clip.
- 39:53Speaker 2: He gave us an Abada boom.
- 39:55Speaker 4: I have a FC question for you, Mac, that I
- 39:58Speaker 4: would like you to maybe analyze for us here. The
- 40:00Speaker 4: other day, the Apple analyst, and I forgot who it
- 40:03Speaker 4: was on the broadcast, so I apologize, but multiple times,
- 40:06Speaker 4: whether it be the intro or in the game, he
- 40:09Speaker 4: was talking very highly of Pat Biel and had him
- 40:11Speaker 4: in the MVP conversation, mentioning that in terms of goal contributions,
- 40:16Speaker 4: he's up there with Messi and Evander.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Is there any.
- 40:20Speaker 4: I had not heard that before. Is there any chance
- 40:24Speaker 4: for BL in this?
- 40:25Speaker 1: No.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Messi's got at least a league of goals. Miami's second.
- 40:29Speaker 2: Not great, but second in the East. Last time I checked,
- 40:33Speaker 2: Pep BL plays in Charlotte, North Carolina. I would say no.
- 40:36Speaker 2: I mean, unless they never lose again the rest of
- 40:38Speaker 2: the way. But I'm just glad to hear it because
- 40:43Speaker 2: he should have been an all-star before this year. It
- 40:45Speaker 2: should have taken the all-star game, Dean Smith not being
- 40:49Speaker 2: the all-star coach. He should have been an all-star last year.
- 40:52Speaker 2: He's been chronically underrated. So I'm just going to take Bone.
- 40:56Speaker 2: I think it's awesome. that that crew mentioned him the
- 40:58Speaker 2: way they did, because he is amazing. I don't know
- 41:01Speaker 2: if you got the, the, the note from Willie. He
- 41:03Speaker 2: is the my Orkin maestro bone as well. And, um, I,
- 41:07Speaker 2: I do believe he intended that when Maxie crossed it in,
- 41:10Speaker 2: I don't, I do believe he intended. to just play
- 41:13Speaker 2: that right across to Toklamati for the goal. Toklamati was
- 41:17Speaker 2: knocking on the door a few times there on some runs.
- 41:19Speaker 2: He didn't quite get there, but then he finally got
- 41:22Speaker 2: one home. FC's balling. Since the World Cup break, FC
- 41:25Speaker 2: is balling. Still fifth in points. They moved up to fourth,
- 41:28Speaker 2: but New England won yesterday, so they're still fifth in points.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Let's continue here with Sounds of the Weekend. We will
- 41:33Speaker 2: play the other Willie P. goal call later in Ravensburg.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Rated on the Mickey scale. Now, this was the Toklamati goal,
- 41:41Speaker 2: all right? I don't know if you got a clever
- 41:42Speaker 2: saying you want for that, but we'll get to more
- 41:46Speaker 2: of that coming up in a little bit. But let's
- 41:49Speaker 2: also keep moving to some of these other sounds of
- 41:52Speaker 2: the weekend, Bone Man. Let's get to Ari Wasserman. This
- 41:56Speaker 2: is the Ari and Andy podcast on three sports. Like everybody, Bone,
- 42:01Speaker 2: except Complainer and Chief, they have been talking crap about
- 42:04Speaker 2: Belichick and Lombardi and And they have been just counting
- 42:07Speaker 2: down the days for UNC to get rid of Bill Belichick.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Ari Wasserman talked about UNC showing it to the doubters
- 42:18Speaker 2: on Saturday.
- 42:18Speaker 8: Let's just call it what it is, man. Bill Belichick's
- 42:21Speaker 8: entire existence in college football has been nothing but a
- 42:24Speaker 8: sideshow mockery of his existence. I still think there's plenty
- 42:29Speaker 8: of questions about whether North Carolina ultimately will be successful
- 42:32Speaker 8: under his leadership. But based on what happened on that
- 42:35Speaker 8: field in Chapel Hill a year ago at this time,
- 42:39Speaker 8: and based on the fact that they only beat two
- 42:41Speaker 8: power opponents last year, they got blown out quite a bit.
- 42:44Speaker 6: Although their defense, I.
- 42:45Speaker 8: Think, did improve towards the end of the season last year.
- 42:47Speaker 8: I think that North Carolina fans should be at least
- 42:52Speaker 8: excited by the fact that they're not an absolute joke.
- 42:56Speaker 2: There you go. That's a hell of a compliment there.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Excited they're not, they're at least not an absolute joke.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Sounds like a backhanded compliment. I mean, there's a number
- 43:04Speaker 2: of lists in this season that had Belichick as the
- 43:07Speaker 2: worst coach in all of the power conferences. And I
- 43:11Speaker 2: think the other day he said, you know, hey, look,
- 43:14Speaker 2: I may not be the best college coach. It's still
- 43:16Speaker 2: a ways to go before that gets settled. But he's
- 43:20Speaker 2: far from the worst coach in the country. There's no
- 43:22Speaker 2: doubt that we have to open up our eyes and
- 43:25Speaker 2: reevaluate the season they'll have. Like, Fitty said six games.
- 43:29Speaker 2: I think that might be a number we can talk
- 43:31Speaker 2: about here. The schedule is still really tough. But I
- 43:34Speaker 2: don't think you can deny that's the best win of
- 43:37Speaker 2: the Belichick era. You know what I mean?
- 43:38Speaker 4: That's a hell of a way to start the season.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Will he leave Jordan in Ireland, though, maybe, perhaps?
- 43:43Speaker 2: Was she in Ireland? I did not see her, which
- 43:45Speaker 2: is probably another good sign. Did he put her in
- 43:47Speaker 2: a pub somewhere during the game and say, stay here,
- 43:49Speaker 2: I'll be back? I am not sure, Fitty. We have
- 43:51Speaker 2: not seen or heard from her in a long time
- 43:53Speaker 2: since she was filing those Freedom of Information Act requests
- 43:56Speaker 2: of Bill's co-workers at UNC. Is it possible Bill has
- 43:59Speaker 2: stuffed her into a broom closet? Because we have not
- 44:02Speaker 2: seen her in a while.
- 44:03Speaker 5: I mean, I would hope she's not stuffed in a
- 44:05Speaker 5: broom closet. Maybe there's a much more respectable place where
- 44:08Speaker 5: you can go and be quiet. But it was refreshing
- 44:11Speaker 5: to go through a broadcast. You're all about respect. You
- 44:15Speaker 5: killed off your grandmother on Friday. You're all about respect.
- 44:18Speaker 6: That's right.
- 44:19Speaker 5: It was refreshing to go through a broadcast and not
- 44:22Speaker 5: have that storyline come up every other time or her
- 44:25Speaker 5: not be shown on the sidelines when they come back.
- 44:28Speaker 5: from a break to show her on the field in pregame.
- 44:31Speaker 5: And then I'll keep my comments about the broadcast to myself.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Okay, please. That's where he would not keep it respectful.
- 44:37Speaker 2: He will keep it respectful with Jordan.
- 44:39Speaker 5: Respectfully, Mike Monaco and Jordan Rodgers were atrocious.
- 44:42Speaker 4: Maybe that's– and hopefully he's okay, but maybe that's the
- 44:45Speaker 4: assignment Steve Belichick's on. Maybe he's just– Maybe he's on
- 44:48Speaker 4: some road trip with Jordan. That could be it. That
- 44:50Speaker 4: could be it. All right, let's get to a couple
- 44:52Speaker 4: more sounds of the weekend.
- 44:54Speaker 2: More college football related because it was week zero and
- 44:57Speaker 2: it was so awesome to have it back.
- 44:59Speaker 1: How about this one? Week zero in my bank account also.
- 45:02Speaker 2: So I'm watching this, Bone. I'm watching this. It must
- 45:06Speaker 2: have been a break in the games I was watching
- 45:09Speaker 2: because I had the sound up for this one. It
- 45:11Speaker 2: was halftime of USC and San Jose State on NBC,
- 45:16Speaker 2: and they're all doing their bold predictions. Listen to where
- 45:19Speaker 2: Nicole Arbach went on NBC.
- 45:22Speaker 9: Well, my bold prediction is that this is the final
- 45:24Speaker 9: year we see Dabo Swinney at Clemson. We have talked
- 45:28Speaker 9: a lot about him in this era, not really embracing
- 45:32Speaker 9: the transfer portal, not really embracing NIL. Huge disappointment last season.
- 45:35Speaker 9: They don't go into the portal for a quarterback. I
- 45:39Speaker 9: think if it's maybe it's him deciding, maybe there's a nudge,
- 45:43Speaker 9: but maybe it's just people deciding Clemson needs to adapt
- 45:46Speaker 9: to the times.
- 45:47Speaker 2: Little old Clemson. The look on John Fanta's face when
- 45:50Speaker 2: she said that was hilarious.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Hilarious.
- 45:53Speaker 4: His mouth was wide open. Could you see it, Bone,
- 45:58Speaker 4: or no? I did not. I was watching a little
- 46:00Speaker 4: bit of that game, but the sound was not awesome.
- 46:02Speaker 2: Could you see this being his last year? Is that
- 46:04Speaker 2: too bold for you?
- 46:05Speaker 1: I thought you meant that I see her saying that.
- 46:07Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
- 46:10Speaker 4: I don't think it's 100% impossible, but I would lean
- 46:13Speaker 4: to it. I don't think it will be. Before Mac,
- 46:16Speaker 4: if you said that, you'd say there's no way. I
- 46:18Speaker 4: don't think we're at that point anymore. I still think
- 46:21Speaker 4: that he, at some point with the way, and also
- 46:24Speaker 4: keep this in mind too. We talked about Dabo in
- 46:27Speaker 4: this era of college football and maybe not being enamored
- 46:30Speaker 4: with NIL and the portal. Think about, though, right now, Mac,
- 46:33Speaker 4: how crazy it's gotten since then. So would I be
- 46:36Speaker 4: shocked if Dabo at some point said, look, I made
- 46:39Speaker 4: a lot of money. I got a great personality. I
- 46:41Speaker 4: can go do TV, whatever I want to do. I
- 46:43Speaker 4: wouldn't be shocked if he eventually– and some of these
- 46:46Speaker 4: coaches say– This has gone from the wild west to
- 46:48Speaker 4: the even wilder west.
- 46:49Speaker 1: I'm out of here.
- 46:50Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to be fired, but I
- 46:52Speaker 4: could see Dabo, because the state of the sport, leaving
- 46:55Speaker 4: at some point.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Just saying, to heck with this. Many other coaches have.
- 46:58Speaker 2: Last but not least, Eli Drinkwitzbone, as only drink can do,
- 47:04Speaker 2: tearing apart the sport and its lack of regulation on eligibility.
- 47:11Speaker 3: You know, Mike Elko said it a couple days ago, like,
- 47:16Speaker 3: The season's kicked off, and we do not know what
- 47:21Speaker 3: the rules are for eligibility.
- 47:24Speaker 6: That's embarrassing, man.
- 47:25Speaker 3: This is the second biggest sport in college in the
- 47:28Speaker 3: world in the United States. It's the second biggest sport
- 47:31Speaker 3: in the United States, most watched sport in the United States.
- 47:34Speaker 3: And for us to be operating like this is a
- 47:36Speaker 3: complete clown show. And it's disappointing. And coaches have been
- 47:40Speaker 3: on the forefront of saying this, and it's been ignored.
- 47:45Speaker 3: It's been ignored. And, you know, I would say now
- 47:53Speaker 3: this is what they get. That's what they've gotten. And so,
- 47:58Speaker 3: you know, administrators and courtrooms have got to figure out
- 48:00Speaker 3: what the rules are now.
