  Speaker 5: They 100% control their own destiny. You look at the
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: rest of the way here, play Wake and Miami. Like,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: what do you want to do, Devils? Let's find out.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: And you've got one of the best players in the
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: entire country with Nate Shepard, as you mentioned there. Clearly,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: he's the guy that you have to stop, but can you?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Is this team still galvanized? Was it a one-off thing,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: NC State, where coach gets fired, we're going to stand
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: tall and hammer Cal, which they did. A lot of
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: people have. Different animal, especially with a Duke team coming
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: off a 40-72 beatdown where Manny Diaz is pissed off.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: There's a two on the scoreboard, right?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Like he's furious, heartbroken because of that. And do we
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: start to see them kind of take the Wake Forest
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: approach of you've got to start beating people down and
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: really exert your will there?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: That's Eric McLean on the Gramlich and McLean podcast talking
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: about Duke and state. Fascinating game. Does state rejuvenated by
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the move to Dave Doran and the interim coach Todd Goble?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Or is there a feeling of rejuvenation or was that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just one? Good game. A little bounce after the move,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing. We could talk about it. Will
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Duke continue their dominance over State, winning three straight in
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the last three years? So we definitely want to hear, Bone.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's college football confidence time. We do this every Friday.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Send us a text if you're confident you're getting a W.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: ECU's got a game tonight against South Florida. Very stingy
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: South Florida defense. That's going to be an ugly one,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling. We have Virginia Tech SMU. There
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: could be Hokie fans out there. That's a huge game.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame Miami fans? Is there confidence on either side?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Does anybody, we got a Miami fan making a run
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of bone on the text line. He tried to.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: He tried to explain to me that Mensa's good, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: I had to tell him, yeah, I know you stole
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: him from me. And that kind of stopped the conversation.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, he said, sorry.
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: Don't Mensa speak me. I know what's going on here.
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: He said, sorry, there was a little transaction.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now he's gone. Now Desmond's gone. We've got Clemson-Syracuse.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Can Clemson play competent offensive football against a non-Florida State defense?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I have a question there. I really like what Fran
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Brown is doing with the Q's team the last couple
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: weeks since they got Angeli back. So we got so
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: much to talk about. All these fan bases, Gamecock fans,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: can't leave y'all out, Boney. This game is huge. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: know you're around a touchdown favorite. I know Texas A &
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: M is one of the biggest flops, along with the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Marcel Reed season he's had. But in this conference, you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: can't take anything for granted. So Gamecock fans, are y'all
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going to get it done? Can you keep winning and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: set up a game against Georgia where you've got only
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: three losses? So there's a lot of fan bases we
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: could hear from. Send us your texts, 704-570-9610. We do
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this every week, Bone. Are you Duke and Gamecock confident together?
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: I'm very confident in Duke because I think we talk
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: so much about Shepard and the offense and what he's done.
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: We talk about just the overall job that Manny Diaz
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: has done. Do we talk enough about Duke's defense and
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: what they've done through eight games? They are the number
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: one total defense in the ACC, the fewest total yards allowed,
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: yards per game, yards per play. Duke's defense has been
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: equal to what Shepard has been on the offensive side,
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: and that's with losing.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of dudes on defense.
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: Again, for the third year in a row, Matt, they
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: had to make do with a new defensive roster for
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: the most part, and they've done that. Duke has owned
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: NC State. I think State got a boost last week
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: with the coach firing. I think they come back to
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: earth this week. I think this is a similar game
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: that Duke has played the last couple years. against NC
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: State I think Duke wins comfortably in Raleigh I think
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: South Carolina wins I'm not as comfortable Mac with that
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: only because I fear the letdown possibly when they've been
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: their backs against the wall they're going to face these
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: good teams that people don't think they're going to beat
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: they've answered the bell in the last handful of games
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: now they're the Now they're on top again. Now they're
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: the favorite again in this game. And that's historically not
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: where Beamer has done his best when they go in
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: with expectations and they're the better team. I think they'll win,
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: but I don't think it's going to be nowhere near
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: as dominant as maybe Gamecock fans would think in this game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: It's a little scary now to be the hunted rather
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: than what they bet.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It's a different role. And in this conference, the hunted
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: will often slip up. SEC flew. Beamer was so proud
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: they didn't get the SEC flew last week. Well, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is that going to apply this week? I hate to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: do this to the Wolfpackers out there. I know you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: count on Wolfpack Mac. I know you love Wolfpack Macs.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: uh positivity actually probably not but only got one only
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: got two coaches fired in the last year but duke
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: has got this thing i you said it man last
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: week it was not a surprise the offense put up
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: 31 last week against cal but i couldn't believe how
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: good the state defense played but do i need to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: remind i know i don't need to remind state fans
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of this defense this year. 95th in yards per game allowed,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: boning games against FBS opponents. Their past defense, 114th in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the country. It's been a bad matchup for State lately.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And I just feel like State played emotionally last week.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're going to have that this week
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to lean on. I would expect their defense.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: To, and if Shepard is not grinding it on the
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: ground bone, He's a beast in the receiving game.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We've seen it. He can get 90-plus. He might be
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: able to get 100 in the receiving game. 80% of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the money is on Duke in this game. That makes sense.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: What's our guy, Trey? Min City Trey? Trey in Min
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: City says, I'll be at the game with my state
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: alum sister. My Blue Devils are going to tame those puppies.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: There you go, Trey. 704 number says, I'm a state fan,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and I don't even feel anything other than hire Phillip Rivers.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: All right, well, there you go. There you go. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: guess then you might not be too bothered by us
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: picking Duke. South Carolina. It like, it may not be
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the prettiest bone. It may not be perfect. And there
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: always could be a sellers interception or two. I just
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: like the combination of their running game and they might
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: get fuller back. And I think there, and, and the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: way sellers is playing, I mean, if sellers is off
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: pass and he'll just run the football around you and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: over you. And I actually think it's been, it hasn't
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: been talked about enough, how much better their defense is
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: playing lately. And I just think Texas A & M
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: is a big, fat, floppy failure this year. Big, fat, floppy.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So even if it's not pretty boned, hell, even if
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they have to win it close, the Gamecocks are that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: team right now, man.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think more of the trepidation would be just
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: about the side of the Gamecocks with a... with a
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: little bit of a mental letdown. It's in Columbia, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: that's huge, I think, for this game. Because I could
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: see them, much like a lot of these teams, if
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: they were going on the road in this spot again,
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: oh boy, would that be one of those, oh my God,
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: is this going to be the hot SEC team goes
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: on the road and loses.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that they're at home. Thank God it's
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: at home. They're in cock-a-boos country. All the cock-a-boos folks
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: are going to be all kind of liquor. And it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Cocktober still, right? Oh no, we're out of time. Oh no,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. Oh, is that the problem? Yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: 980 says, State going to be hyped the rest of
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: the season.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Dave Dorn was poisoned.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: Now that he's eradicated, the team can reach closer to
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: where they're projected.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Eradicated? My goodness. Jesus got violent. Let's see here. Gamecock fan,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: we have a bad history with A & M. Yeah,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: how bad is that? I hadn't really thought about that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They had that big lead and blew it. Oh, yeah,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: last year. How did we not even mention that one?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That's another thing. Doesn't that add a layer of, like,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, now you bring that up. Different Texas
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: A & M team. But that brings out a layer of,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Shane Beamer going to remind them of that. Like, they
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: got to score. You know what I mean? They got
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to land one on the chin of Texas A &
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: M after last year because that was hurt. That was devastating,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know? It's not that big. It's not that bad.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: South Carolina's won two games against them out of 12.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: Okay, duly noted then, sir.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: That sounded better in my head than that did.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: They've won the last two, though, in Columbia, including 44-20
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: two years ago.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Remember that night game they played? They ran them out
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of the field. Yeah, that was a huge performance, that one.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Crow-vember is what Gamecock fans say they're going with. It's crow-vember, baby.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Crow-vember!
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Bagel Guy says, didn't Gamecock Bone want Beamer fired three
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: weeks ago? I want to rip your eyeball.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, man.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: But you know what? I'm getting tired of Bagel Guy
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: being one of them gotcha guys.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: Ha ha, you gotcha guy. I did.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But then what do you want me to say now?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They've gone on a winning streak. So I can't.
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: You told me to fire him? How can I do
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: that now? Don't view it as me turning back to Beamer.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: View it as me. I motivated the guy.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: This dude said, Mac, I'm a Tar Heel fan. How
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: does Fitty feel about the game tomorrow? You cannot lose
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: this one and claim how much you've improved. What do
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you think about this one, Fetty? You can watch the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: first half before you have to start playing with a two-year-old.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Praising. What do you think about
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: this one? They're winning this game, right? Or are you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: afraid there could be a slip-up Syracuse style?
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: Well, they better win this game, Mac, because if they lose,
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: that's three straight losses. That might take the wind.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Out of your sails.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: You're coming off the game where I understand that they lost, Mac.
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: This should be the most confident they've been at any
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: point this season. They were how many plays away from
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: maybe pulling off a program-defining upset over No.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: 1 Miami?
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: They were right there with the best team in the
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: country in terms of the AP poll, the best team
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: in the country in terms of the CFP committee, as
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: well as Miami still ranked No. 1, so.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Billy Edwards Jr.
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: Played the game of his life. This is not a
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: good passing defense for UConn. Their best corner gets picked
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: on to where this should be a Jordan ship game.
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: They struggle in the middle of the field, so Jelani
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: Thurman should be able to eat. I think the running
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: game will get a better footing than what it had
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: a week ago. The problem is, as UConn scores over
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: 34 points per game, they distribute the ball well to
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: their backs and their receivers. This Carolina defense, which has
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: been terrible on third down, 150th in the country in
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: third-down defense. Has to be better. I think Carolina wins,
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: but expect points and fireworks on both sides.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So you're not saying easy or any of that. I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: think Carolina 28-23. They have to win this game and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: keep that goodwill going. I'm with both of y'all Tar
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Heel fans on that. You and the texter. Otto the Orange.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Is this the real Orange? Is this the mascot? Otto
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Orange is texted in. We have a frisky group
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of Syracuse fans down here. My man Bryant usually texts.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know where he is this morning. Otto the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Orange texts in and says, Dabo better be afraid. We've
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: given you some butt whippings before, including last year in
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: your house, Syracuse and Angeli. Oh, they're not ready for
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Syracuse and this Angeli. You think about that, Bo? I.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Not crazy. What is the spread in that game? I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: kind of think Syracuse is going to win the game.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: They're a different team with Angelia. Well, he's playing quarterback
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, well, he had a rough start to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the season and got hurt. Clemson's favorite by two and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a half in this game, so it's not that crazy.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: These last two games, I mean, Clemson, Syracuse beat Clemson
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: last year by 13 in Death Valley. Yeah. I think
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a great game. This is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: noon tomorrow. I think it's going to be really tight.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not acting bone like these two teams are. you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: playoff teams or anything, but I just think it's going
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to be an entertaining, great game.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: And look at the emergence, and we haven't brought it
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: up because it's Syracuse, but they have... A great receiving duo.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: Hatcher is one of the top receivers in the country
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: for yards. And Calvin Russell, the kid who was making
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: plays last week at SMU, I think he's one of
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: their highest recruited players ever as a young kid. So
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: they've got this veteran in Hatcher. They've got Calvin Russell
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: with Angele back. All of a sudden, that Fran Brown
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: offense is really looking like it did a couple of
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: years ago. They've got to. Clemson's defensive front has been
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: getting after it lately. I love the way London Merritt's
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: playing to compliment Will Helt. They got to get after Angeli, man.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: I just, I say Syracuse by a field goal. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: like his Tate Reynolds going to do the same thing
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: this week. Florida state's defense is really bad bone.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: They can make you look better than you are on offense.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: True.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You know? So anyway, I'm looking forward to, by the way,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Gamecock fans have been the most vocal ones during college
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: football confidence on the text line today. Bubba from Stanley
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: County says we don't have a bad history with A &
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: M at home. He's saying what you're saying. Yeah, two
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of the last two have won there. Yeah, he says
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the last two have been real nice. Miss Sweetcheeks, a
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Gamecock fan, says it's South Carolina's homecoming. They'll be fine
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. Clemson, are there any Clemson fans really checking in?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We've got to get back to them, Mac.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: Future Redemption's on there talking Gamecocks. So he's not even
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: talking about his Tigers. He's talking about me not going
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: to the game tomorrow. So that's what he's concerned about.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: If anything, it sums up Clemson's season bone of disappointment.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: It's that right there. What were you going to say, Fit?
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: If they lose, that's what back-to-back years you've lost to Syracuse.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: It puts them at 5-4. What's Dabo going to get
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: behind the podium and say next week?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: We still have a chance to win our sixth game, everybody.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if he'll recut his six-win promo.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: I do wonder, did he come to the defense of
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: Mike Norvell because he knows he's next?
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: I think he could relate to what Mike Norvell's going through.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: He likes beating Mike Norvell, so he's like, oh, man,
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: there goes one of my wins.
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: I think Syracuse, I think Clemson's going to win the game. But, Mac,
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: if they lose, I think we're talking next week, seriously,
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: how quickly... is Clemson looking to move on from Dabo
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: and get rid of the buyout and just move in
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: a different direction?
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: What if your fellow UNC fans is on the text
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: line with, I'm not trying to make fun. This is
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: a legit question here. Dante is a UNC fan. He
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: wants to know who do you guys play tomorrow?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: UConn.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: All right. Thanks.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And football. Not basketball. That's a real question, McDonough.
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: Wofford in basketball tonight, UConn in football.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Good thing it's not UConn in basketball. You know what
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I mean? That's a good couple of opponents for you.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Wolfpack James, if we're wondering how Wolfpack fans are feeling
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: right now, Bone, with the interim coach playing out the season,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: although they looked great last week, Wolfpack James texting in
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: not about their game against Duke, but about Josh Swett
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: being on the trade block. that's more like panther james
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: mode by the way speaking of that we got uh
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: zach gill next we gotta spend some time next segment
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: though talking about the fact and i'm not sure it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the most reliable reporters in the world but there's like
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: there's like smoke out there about like when there's smoke
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: there's fire let's go who is smoke what is smoke
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I do love that, man. Y'all, play that this afternoon, y'all.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be driving around KB and smoke. Play
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that thing. Who is smoke? What is smoke? When there's smoke,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: there's fire. Let's go. I need that. I need that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: on Friday today, y'all. What was I even talking about?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Something about reports?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: We got to talk a little bit about some of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: these different reports, like the Giants could be going after
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Derrick Brown. What's this Evan Sidery business about the Jaguars
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and Derrick Brown? Are we believing there's a world where
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the Panthers would trade Derrick Brown, or do we just
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: want to scream about this crap? I think we just
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: want to scream, I would say. We'll get into it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: We've at least got to address it. And we've got
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: Gelby coming up next, Zach Gelb of Compass. He's going
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: to talk about the Panthers-Broncos. How good is Jacksonville just
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: on a national conversation? And, Mac, you are doing Picante's
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: picks next segment. You have to go 3-0 to keep
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: his picks career alive. Do you have your picks yet?
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: I got one ready, Picante.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to work on these next.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: Two, baby.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: He's terrified right now. All that and more when we
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: come back. Mac and Bone, Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ. Sports
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: It's been a lively one, y'all. We're very fired up
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: about the chance for the Panthers this weekend to bounce back,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: although that pass rush up front for Denver is a
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: little bit scary. And we've talked all about the big
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: college football weekend. Check out the hours you missed. Listen
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to Mac and Bone at your leisure later today, this weekend,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. WFNZ.com, Apple, and Spotify. During
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the break, I told Bone, man, there's a plot twist, Bone.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I threw out the thing about some of these, like,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: goofy rumors, air quotes, rumors online about, like, could Derrick Brown,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you know, could teams be coming to the Panthers trying
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to trade for Derrick Brown? Plot twist. Multiple people saying
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that it might not be a bad idea to trade
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Derrick Brown. I didn't see that coming.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: Well, people here love trading and firing, so you got
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: to remember that. Trading and firing. It is a favorite pastime,
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: getting rid of people. How long until someone, Mac, wants
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: Todd Walsh fired? Hopefully long.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Hopefully. If it doesn't last long, yeah, we got real problems.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: One early touchdown on Sunday, it's goodnight, Todd Walsh.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Head to the washroom. Your guy, Shaqued, how long until
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Shaqued tries to fire that man? It might be already.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: All right. Hey, Top Wash, great presser yesterday, baby. Love
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: his energy. Love his passion. He says they're going to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: attack up front, baby. Sounds good right now. All right.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Let's bring in our next guest, too. We love his
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: energy and we love his passion as well. Just a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: lovable guy in general.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: Right. Right.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Text line. He is Zach Gelb of Compass Media. And
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: he joins us here on the Mac and Bone show,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: as he does every Friday. Galby, how are you feeling
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: this week?
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great. Can we start off before we talk
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: about the Panthers with a positive local football story?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, please. Can we do that? Is this your friend again?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Conference champions.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Kaden craft going to Tennessee doc Caldwell, really good wide receiver.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: And they're on a buy before state playoffs. So congratulations
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: to them. And obviously coach Alaska has got him coached
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: well up front of the trenches.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: That's good stuff. One of my favorite high school teams go,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they got three or four. I root for them.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: They beat the snot out of Mooresville.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I am. Yeah, they got us. Yeah,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I thought Mooresville was your squad, Bone. Oh, it depends
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: who wins. I've also got Huff, and I've got my
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: own school that I went to. This man's even got
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: four high school teams. Shameless.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Like the, the Panthers and like Normans, like the Broncos
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: pretty much.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. So, so Galby, can I read into that?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Can I read into that, that you think the Panthers
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: are in trouble this week?
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Actually all kidding aside, I think they have a shot
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: to win the game because we all know the Denver's
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: defense is phenomenal. It's a, it's a really good test
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: for Bryce young to kind of show that he's worth
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: the franchise quarterback money. That's going to get thrown his way.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: But I feel a little bit optimistic, even though, because
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: the Panthers defense is not good, but the Broncos offense,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: they got some issues as well. So I'm not going
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: to go into the game saying, Hey, I expect the
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers to win. But at home, I do kind
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: of think it's a game that they can get if
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: they could find a way to win this, like 23, 20, 23, 17.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I think we're with you on that. I picked us.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I picked the Panthers to win 17, 16. I just
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be, it's going to be ugly Gelby,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: but the bar, you know, the Broncos run game is
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: nothing special. Panthers have actually, believe it or not done
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: well against these bottom, you know, run games. It's been,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it's been the good ones that have obliterated us. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like, what do you think? What do
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you think about Bo Nix Gelby? What do you like?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I know he's turned it up in the fourth quarter
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of these games and they've kind of had some magic
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, but, but he's not getting the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: ball downfield a lot. Like I don't, I could, I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: could regret this, but I don't fear that he's going
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of our corner situation. Like Jordan loved it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: for example.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: I think he's an average quarterback. Like, do I ever
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: think I'm going to view Bo Nix as like a
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: legitimate top 10 quarterback in this league? No, but if
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: you pair him with the right defense and the right
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: head coach, they could find a way to make, make
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: a deep playoff run like last year. So for him,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: it's about limiting the turnovers. And, you know, we saw
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: him at Auburn. He was got awful. Then at Oregon,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: he turned his career around. I didn't think he was
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: going to be a top 15 pick in the draft.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And he was, and he's had a solid start to
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: his career. I just don't think that's a guy that
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I look at and I go, Oh, that's an elite
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: or that's a great quarterback. He has some games where
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: he does look like a great quarterback and, But I
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: think at the end of the season, you kind of
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: walk away with Bo Nix, and you're like, okay, he's average,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: above average, like middle of the pack, probably like 15th
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: best quarterback in.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Football, I would say. I just bit my tongue.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: Can you ask Gail the next question real quick?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: You got that list going over there right now. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: don't know how else to do this, Gail, but I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: bit my– that hurts. I bit my tongue. he got
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that tongue swollen. Don't worry about it. Just ask the question.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Oh man. So, uh, Galby, what, um, I'll ask you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the question. There's a couple of goo, like, I don't,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: it seems like goofy sources. It doesn't seem very legit,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: but like there are people bringing up Jacksonville, uh, interest
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in trading for Derrick Brown and like the giants wanting
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: to trade for Derrick Brown. If you were the Panthers,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: would you trade Derrick Brown? Panther fans want to be
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: buyers and try to win the division. Would you want
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to trade Derrick Brown?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: I think that would send the message that you're punting
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: on the season. I know what people are going to
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: say on the, on the retort. Well, they could get
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: rid of him and still find the way to win
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: this division because the division is that bad. But I
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: kind of view him as a cornerstone piece to this
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: franchise moving forward. So I don't understand why you would
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: trade him unless if they know something that we don't know.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: But I would, I would be like, you'd have to
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: get a premium draft pick for him. And And I
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: would imagine there's going to be interest in him around
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: the league, but it hasn't even crossed my mind with
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: all the names speculated that the Panthers would be interested
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: in parting ways with him.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Like, Dave Canales' phone just had this, like, this impassioned
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: answer to a question in a presser. Like, what did
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you tell Todd Walsh you want from the defense? And Gelby,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he said, stop the run. Like, that's it. Like, stop
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the run. If you want to stop the run and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you're trying to win a division, why on earth are
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you trading Derek Brown of all people? Like, it just,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it seems ridiculous to me.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: I'm okay now, boys. Don't worry about me. Thanks for
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: all those that reached out here about my current situation.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: A report this week came out, Gail, from Mike Florio,
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: that the Panthers were closing in on a new deal
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: for Bryce Young in the $ 50 million per year range.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: What are your thoughts on that report from Florio?
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's going to happen. I don't know
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: in four years from now if we're going to look
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: back at it and say it was the greatest decision
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: in the world, but I go to the alternative, and
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: this is the dilemma most of these teams are in.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: It's like, okay, you have a good quarterback. He's not
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: a great quarterback. And he's probably not worth $ 55 million.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Let's just say, but that's the going rate for what
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: good quarterbacks get in this league. So could there be
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: some regret three, four years from now?
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: But it's like, if the Panthers say they're not going
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: to pay Bryce young, then who are they going to
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: go get? And like, that's like, they're not going to
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: be high enough in the draft. Uh, even if a
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: quarterback becomes available via trade, you're gonna have to give
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: up a lot of draft capital to have a guy
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: that has turned his career around and it's moving in
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the right direction.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: I don't feel comfortable, uh, you know, giving 55, you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: 50 plus million dollars to him, but you kind of
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: have to, right?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think you said it like, you know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: regret down the road, like we'll see. But when you're
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: out there and you insert yourself back into that, the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: quarterback needy waters, that ain't no fun place to be, man.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: And like we had texters the other day that were saying, oh,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: go get Trinidad Chambliss or go get this guy and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: that guy in the draft. Like there is no guarantee
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Bryce would take a number one overall. We see first
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: round quarterbacks, Gelby, on the regular. not amount to anything.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Like look at Anthony Richardson and Levis from Bryce's draft class.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Like I just, I don't understand why some fans are
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: so quick to want to go into that quarterback market again.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: And I said this a month ago and it's been
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: proven true every week, this greatest quarterback draft class that
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: we were told about for 20, 27 and not looking
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: that great, like arch Manning, probably going to go back
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: another year in college, Dante Moore now out for the season.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: And he wasn't playing well, even before that ridiculous hit
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: by a USC, like probably the three best quarterbacks in
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: this draft class right now are Darian Mensah, CJ Carr.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: We'll see how we feel about that after, after Saturday night.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: And then also drew mess the maker. So, and the
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Panthers are not going to be in position to, to
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: probably go get one of those quarterbacks early in this draft.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Cause they probably should be able to get eight wins
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: this year or nine wins and win the NFC South.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't understand why Panthers fans would, would say, okay,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: get rid of Bryce young. And then you're not in
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: position to get a quarterback in a first round. So
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: then you have to like get a guy in the
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: second round. And like Trinidad Chambliss is an excellent college player.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: How many times have we seen guys be excellent college
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: players and they don't amount to anything in the NFL?
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Like when I watch your Ned Chambliss, I think he's
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: a great college quarterback. I don't sit there and go, okay,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: that's a guy that's definitely going to win, you know,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: win games and be a star quarterback in the NFL. Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: Go beyond the college front, Miami, Notre Dame this weekend,
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: obviously a different feel without Tony for the U, but
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: what are you thinking about this matchup and how it
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: might play out?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I'm curious to see the Notre Dame defense up against
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: the Miami offense, even without Tony, you got Fletcher, you
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: got bar Kate Mensah was my pick before the year
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: to win the Heisman trophy. And if he wins this
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: game on Saturday night, I think that could really give
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: him a leg up to go win the Heisman with
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Ohio state. kind of falling back the last few weeks,
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: even though Jeremiah Smith's the best player in the country.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: And now Tony going down with that injury, I think
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: this is going to be a close game, but with
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: the Tony injury, I would have probably said Miami before
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: the Tony injury, but now with the injury, I'm going
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: to give the edge to Notre Dame. I think the
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: spread's like up to like six and a half or
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: something like that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: It probably, you.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Lay the points and probably think it's like 23, you know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: 16 or something like that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. I could definitely see that.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Gelby, you are the man, brother. You rock.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you. You said there's a chance. That's all I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: can ask, Gelby. You gave the Panthers a chance, baby.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I'll take it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Well, put it this way. Who would have thought this
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: team last year would have gone on the road to
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Green Bay and defeated the Packers?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: This game's in Carolina, but it's just like, Most of
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: the national narrative is going to be, oh, yeah, the
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Panthers have no shot. I'm just not willing to say
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: they have no shot. I'd probably say they lose, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: no shot, I think that's ridiculous.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: We'll take it, baby. Hell, we beat the Rams at
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: home last year, too, when no one thought we were
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: going to win.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: All right, Gelby, have a great— You probably should have
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: beat them in the playoffs as well.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I know, man. I know. So damn close. All right, Gelby,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: thank you, brother. We appreciate it, man. Have a good weekend.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: You got it, guys.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Be well.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: You be well also. Compass Media. I'm thinking about this
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame game, Boney, and I don't mean on a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Friday to spread hate on a Friday when we should
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: be spreading love. Yeah, you're one not to spread hate.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Have I told you a time or two about my
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: disdain for the elitist at Notre Dame? Have I told
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you about that?
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: Have I told you about my friendship with Chris Paul?
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, I got your point there. If Miami can win
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: this game, and I don't think they will, Bone, but
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Tony loss is huge. But if they can win this
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: damn game and Notre Dame is put out of playoff
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: contention already, I know it would hurt the feelings of
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: my dear mother, who is a Notre Dame diehard fan.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe my hate for Notre Dame
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: is more than my love for my mother. I need
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to talk to my therapist. What is happening?
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I need to talk to my therapist about this. But
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I got Miami. Come on. Finish this evil empire off.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: Sending your old mother down the road here.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I feel horrible about it because she gets very upset
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: if they lose.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: And it's also because your dad, rest his soul, a
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: diehard Notre Dame fan, and this doesn't matter to you.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: You still want your mom to suffer.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Listen, my dad would not expect anything less. He is
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: looking down at me. saying, stay true to yourself, son.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Be that obnoxious, jealous Notre Dame hater that you are.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: He would want me to do that. You've got to
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: do your three picks for Picante. You've got to go 3-0, Mac.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: We spun a wheel on Monday, so Picante's fate is
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: now in your hands, and the man is absolutely petrified.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: He's been trying to send you picks along the way.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Illegal. Picante, these are all Mac's picks. Did you see
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: what he did? He just said he wants his $ 20 back.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: You haven't done the picks yet. I'm betting it, baby.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I'm getting back on the FanDuel. I'm going to have
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: $ 20. 07 in that, baby. Okay, now do I have to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: just have a winning record or do I have to
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: hit all three? You've got to go 3-0. That was
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: part of the deal. Picante. I don't think I ever
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: go 3-0, brother. I'm sorry. But I'm going to give
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: it a run, baby. I'm going to give it a run.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Here are my picks, Bone. Noon tomorrow, 10 local time.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Give me the Utah running Utes, baby. Give me Utah,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: though that might only be their basketball name. I'm not sure.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: but give me Utah in the Holy war minus four
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: and a half. I know BYU is going to get
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Martin back in the backfield. This Utah team to me
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: is easily the best team in the big 12. They're
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: at home in this intense rivalry. Um, uh, and I
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: think they take care of business in this game. Bone
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: balanced on both sides of the ball. Dampier is a
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: bad dude at quarterback. So Utah minus four and a half.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for, oh, Picante said he likes that pick.
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think about this one, Picante, tomorrow? That's
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: how Picante's got in trouble here with these picks. You
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: love it. It's not a good sign, Picante. That's true.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: No wonder you've been missing. All right. Give me the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Charlotte 49ers, baby. Give them to me. Eight and a
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: half points. They're getting eight and a half points at
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: UAB tomorrow. UAB, pretty solid defensively, Bone, but their numbers
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: offensively are ugly. And Picante actually called this last week.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: He said, man, look at them. They're a different team
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: with Harrell in there, and they really have been, Bone,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: especially the past two weeks. They have been a different offense.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that Rutledge is getting all the
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: carries he is getting, and UAB's run defense gives up
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: over 200 yards a game. Could be a good Rutledge game.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Give me Charlotte to hang in there and make it
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: a one-score game, Bone. So I'll take Charlotte plus eight
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and a half. Picante has not weighed in on that
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: pick just yet. And Picante, here we go, baby. Here
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: we go. No, he likes it. I'm going to put
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: my money. Well, it's Picante's money. Actually, what am I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: talking about? I would have put Picante's money he had
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to give me where my mouth is. Give me them
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, baby! I picked them earlier. I'm not just
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: doing it for show. I'm not just doing it.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: To seem like some fake Weasley Panther fan. I believe
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: they're going to do it, Bone. Give me the Panthers
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: plus two and a half against Denver. This is going
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: to be the one that Picante doesn't like, right?
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Why are y'all looking at me like that?
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: You're putting your fate in Charlotte and the Panthers. Oh,
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: Picante's furious now. Oh, he hates this pick?
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Picante, you don't think this is a spot? They win
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: in spots where you don't expect it. Numerous poop emojis
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: coming through now. All right, Mac, we come back.
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: You hate me, he says. This is my real pet, dude.
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: We come back. We wrap up the show. App State
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: Andrew will be the pet talker for the first time.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: All right. That's next. Sports Radio 92.7.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Little Billy Joel for the soul, baby. On a Friday
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: headed into the best college football weekend of the season.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Come hang out with KB and I at the doghouse
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: for Panther pregame countdown to kick off 10 a.m. to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: 1 p.m. It's a freaking big one. It really is.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: But I've got to be honest. I feel like we
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: might be able to lose this one and still stay
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: in first place at three and five because the Falcons
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in Madrid against Cincy. Could lose. Very easy, right? They're underdogs.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: Our apologies to Madrid for having to watch Pennix. The
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: Bears could beat the Bucs, right?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So we could easily still be a half game up.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: But let's not think that way. I picked the Panthers
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to win. Might be a Saints win this weekend, though. Yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: could be. Against the Browns. Could be. Coming off a bye.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: No Watson either.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: I feel.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Saints are not out of this thing. They've just been
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the more.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: Saints have been a disappointing team in the South.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: And again, give me my mirror. Oh, yeah, I see one, too. Rachel,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: not everybody is taking me picking the Panthers outright to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: win this game very well, including Rachel, who's called me
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: a scourge to the fan base. I don't really know
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: what scourge means, but I know it's not a nice word.
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: Picante just gave us a goodbye speech on the text line.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: He'll see us in August.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Myron has declared Picante's pick segment dead after my picks.
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: You killed Picante's entire hype for the weekend, Matt. This
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: great weekend, you killed him. We got it, Picante.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Come on, baby. The Panthers can do it when you
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: don't expect it. Picante, you put yourself on the spot,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: by the way. You put yourself in this position.
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: It's true.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: It's true. If your picks were better, you wouldn't be
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in this spot. Desperate for help from me. By the way,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: can I say, where is that Stifler text? Real quick
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: before we go to our guy, App State Andrew, for
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the pep talk. He's a first-time Panther pep talker.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Stifler.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: He's been waiting since 9-10. Oh, God. Okay, we better
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: get to him. Stifler said to Fitty on a text,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: the babysitting thing with Fitty is a huge mistake. These
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: kids are an age where they ask 700,000 questions a minute. Like,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: why are you bald? Why are you so fat? Where's
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: your neck?
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: Finney going to tell those kids to shut the bleep
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: up relationship over.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Been there, he says. Finney babysitting all day tomorrow during
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: the college football greatness.
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: By the way, how is a guy going to clean
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: up accidents that messed up our whole bathroom situation here
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: in the building this week? There's a chance that this kid,
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: one of these kids does something that Fitty actually.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Fitty's going to do something this weekend. He's going to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: blame it on the kid. Bro, somebody already predicted Fitty
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: clogs the toilet, grosses out the whole house.
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm sure Fitty and his sweetheart are going to
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: have a great time. And she's going to get to
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: see Fitty's handling of kids. Is this a big moment
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: for Fitty, Bo? To impress?
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: Or to depress? All right, anyway, let's get to the
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: pep talk. What if one of these kids comes up
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: to you for life advice? You ready for that this weekend?
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Life advice. I would love to hear that. So, Bone,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: App State Andrew asked for the ball, right? He asked
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to be the pep talker earlier. He wants this honor
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: and opportunity. Is that how this came to be? Like,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't choose him out of nowhere, right? He came
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: looking for the rock. Yeah, he wants it. Okay. He
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: wants it. He needs it. He has to have it.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Let's do it. And coincidentally, we forgot to pick a
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: pep talker for the second straight week. He's the only
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: guy that wanted it. So here you are. App State Andrew,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: fire us up, baby. Fire the Panther fans up. What's
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: going to happen this weekend? Max Bone, you about to
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: know what time it is.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: The Panthers coming back from an away game. They're going
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: to get some home cooking. What's a Bronco?
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: A Bronco's a horse.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: The Panthers going to.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Ride out on that horse. Panthers going to win 2017.
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: Let's go, Panthers.
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: Keep freaking holiday.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go, Andrew.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: There you go, Andrew.
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: Andrew, baby.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Andrew sounds like Willie P, baby. I like that. Sounds
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: like Willie P.
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: Willie P.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Don't you think? Willie P. Possible son there, Andrew? His
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: voice did get a couple of octaves up there as
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he got excited. But I like the passion. He also
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: kept it short, too. You know what I mean? Sometimes
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: short can be sweet. With a pep talk, he was fiery.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: And I... you know feel vindicated now i have picked
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the panthers to win i feel better about.
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: It oh no they're coming after absent andrew what happened
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: was that mac's son.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: On the thing was that a sun valley soccer player
• 41:49

  Speaker 1: It's not my best work. But anyway, Charlotte Catholic beat
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Sun Valley, knocked them out of the playoffs yesterday. Of
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: course they did. We've had to face them three times.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: They're the best team in the state. They are so
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: ridiculously good. It is humbling. But anyway, after the game,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: they shouted out by name all our seniors because it
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: was their last game. That includes Mac Jr., and all
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the other seniors, by name, they wished them the best

  Speaker 1: what kind of jerk I am. I wouldn't even think that.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: If that was us, you know, winning a playoff. But

  Speaker 1: some joy, as good as they are at soccer bone,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: in sending kids every week in the playoffs to their future.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I think they kind of like that. But that was like,
• 42:51

  Speaker 1: Go win the whole thing.
