Latest / Mac & Bone Podcast / Mac & Bone Hour 4: Local CFB Coaches Hot Seat
Transcript
- 0:20Speaker 1: We decided as a staff to take a safety, and
- 0:23Speaker 1: the plan was to take a safety play that allows
- 0:28Speaker 1: us to also milk the clock. That play is designed
- 0:31Speaker 1: to allow the quarterback to roll to his right, milk
- 0:35Speaker 1: the clock until people get near him and then fall
- 0:37Speaker 1: down and not take contact, and obviously that's not what happened.
- 0:42Speaker 1: We knew that we'd probably have to kick the ball off,
- 0:45Speaker 1: deep squib it, tackle him, and the game's over. And
- 0:49Speaker 1: we preferred that option over, you know, the other option
- 0:51Speaker 1: is throwing the ball as far as you can from
- 0:54Speaker 1: the pocket. Again, rolling out, doing that out of your
- 0:58Speaker 1: own end zone. We're on the right hash, which means
- 1:02Speaker 1: you're rolling out to a shorter space with the right
- 1:04Speaker 1: arm quarterback. You're throwing the ball up out of your
- 1:07Speaker 1: own end zone, hoping that the clock operator being on
- 1:11Speaker 1: the road doesn't hold the clock a little bit on you.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Because if you do throw that and five seconds go off,
- 1:17Speaker 1: they get the ball on the tube.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Interesting stuff from Dave Dorn yesterday. He did. We talked
- 1:24Speaker 2: about this with Adam Gold. We played the clip earlier.
- 1:26Speaker 2: He did spread the blame around yesterday at his presser.
- 1:29Speaker 2: He says, yeah, we practice it. And, you know, CJ
- 1:32Speaker 2: didn't do a good enough job of doing what we practice,
- 1:35Speaker 2: but we then didn't do a good enough job of
- 1:37Speaker 2: explaining it and coaching it, Bone. Seems pretty simple to explain, though.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Run around back there. When guys get near you, throw
- 1:43Speaker 2: yourself on the ground, but hold the ball. Seems like
- 1:46Speaker 2: that could have been... I just don't get why you
- 1:48Speaker 2: still run out of the end zone. I mean, it's
- 1:50Speaker 2: just such a common sense thing.
- 1:51Speaker 3: It is.
- 1:52Speaker 2: It doesn't really... Yeah. Why would you want to take
- 1:53Speaker 2: a hit and risk losing the ball? Like, just to
- 1:55Speaker 2: get an extra second off. Go ahead. Take the free kick.
- 1:58Speaker 2: I heard Bailey's promo. It's a free kick after a safety.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Squib it down there, like Doran said. Get the heck
- 2:04Speaker 2: out of there. I got to be honest.
- 2:06Speaker 4: It doesn't really... We can talk about how they got
- 2:09Speaker 4: to that point. It doesn't take much coaching, Matt, to
- 2:12Speaker 4: know I can't drop the football.
- 2:14Speaker 2: For a third-year starter, so I know we had the
- 2:17Speaker 2: whole argument where Fitty yesterday said, as much as they're
- 2:20Speaker 2: paying Bailey, get on him. These guys are now getting paid.
- 2:23Speaker 2: And then Adam Gold tried to say... Well, they're not
- 2:26Speaker 2: pros yet, though, because of where they're at in life
- 2:28Speaker 2: and all this. I mean, that's pretty basic. I can't
- 2:30Speaker 2: drop the ball in the end zone. I feel like
- 2:32Speaker 2: shredding him for that when that's your veteran quarterback. If
- 2:36Speaker 2: Jerry Curtis did it his first game, okay, it's still dumb.
- 2:39Speaker 2: But C.J. Bailey, come on. And you played so well
- 2:41Speaker 2: in the game, dude. It was going to be a
- 2:43Speaker 2: mammoth win for the program. So anyway, all this to say, Bone,
- 2:47Speaker 2: Dave Doran bashing is back in. Between that and the
- 2:52Speaker 2: Virginia loss, State fans are showing their displeasure, voicing their
- 2:58Speaker 2: displeasure about Dave Dorn and C.J. Bailey both. You yesterday
- 3:02Speaker 2: did with Shane Beamer and Lenora Sellers, but Shane Beamer
- 3:06Speaker 2: and Lara from Monroe says, I was done with Belichick
- 3:11Speaker 2: when his hiring was announced. So then you fast forward, Bone,
- 3:15Speaker 2: to the way they blew the lead against Clemson, the
- 3:17Speaker 2: season they had last year, of course, and all the
- 3:19Speaker 2: outside football stuff. That has just been embarrassing for the school,
- 3:22Speaker 2: not just the program. So here's my question to all
- 3:26Speaker 2: of the fans of these three teams. We'll leave Dabo
- 3:29Speaker 2: out of it. They responded. They rallied. Pearty did some
- 3:32Speaker 2: real coaching during the damn two-hour delay or whatever. But
- 3:37Speaker 2: here's the question. If we were doing a scale of
- 3:40Speaker 2: 1 to 10, and 10 is, I'm done with this dude.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I don't even want to hear him. Any case for him.
- 3:46Speaker 2: And one is, no, I'm chill. I'm chill with my coach.
- 3:50Speaker 2: If you're a UNC fan with Belichick, South Carolina with Beamer,
- 3:54Speaker 2: NC State with Doran, one to ten. Ten being, let
- 3:57Speaker 2: me hit the eject button. Make this I fly out
- 3:59Speaker 2: of the building. Where are you at? I will ask
- 4:02Speaker 2: you on this, Boney. You sounded like it might have
- 4:05Speaker 2: been very close to ten yesterday on the air. What
- 4:09Speaker 2: would be your number?
- 4:10Speaker 4: I'm like 8.8, close to 9. It's not easy because
- 4:14Speaker 4: I have been a Beamer defender through it. Remember when
- 4:17Speaker 4: you got hired back? You said something about Beamer and
- 4:20Speaker 4: I defended. I love the hire. I've been a Beamer guy.
- 4:22Speaker 4: I've been a Sellers guy. But there has to be
- 4:26Speaker 4: progress within... those 10 years, and we're just not seeing
- 4:30Speaker 4: it right now. I did the tale of the tape
- 4:33Speaker 4: right here on Muschamp versus Beamer, and there's a little
- 4:38Speaker 4: difference here in one stat, but here's the overall setup here.
- 4:44Speaker 4: At South Carolina, Will Muschamp was 28-30. Beamers 35-31. In
- 4:49Speaker 4: SEC games, Muschamp went 17-22.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Beamers 16-25. Bowl games, Muschamp 2-2. Beamers 1-2.
- 4:52Speaker 4: This is the difference here, but there's more of a
- 4:54Speaker 4: sample of games for Beamer. Muschamp 2-13 against top 25 teams.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Beamers 7-20.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Beamers really hanging on. to those big wins of why
- 5:14Speaker 4: he's still here. I think everyone that watches that program
- 5:17Speaker 4: respects Beamer. I think there's a lot of respect for
- 5:20Speaker 4: even opponents of Beamer. There's a love for Beamer. But
- 5:23Speaker 4: the fact is, you came out last year and you
- 5:26Speaker 4: promised something different. And that second half the other day
- 5:29Speaker 4: was the same old crap that we see when South
- 5:33Speaker 4: Carolina's at their worst under Shane Beamer.
- 5:34Speaker 2: To your point, he did talk that big game over
- 5:37Speaker 2: and over again last year. What I said, careful, man. Yeah,
- 5:40Speaker 2: because fans are like, bro, you are literally still in
- 5:43Speaker 2: the season that is unacceptable with four wins. You're promising
- 5:48Speaker 2: us something great next year. And you said it. You've
- 5:52Speaker 2: got to be able to cash that. And the first
- 5:54Speaker 2: big game. They blow the 16-point lead. So I definitely
- 5:57Speaker 2: get your frustration, Bone.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Now, last time I got frustrated was when they played
- 6:04Speaker 4: a week one game when I said they were going
- 6:05Speaker 4: to be the worst team in the SEC, and they
- 6:07Speaker 4: went on to have that 2024 season. So I've motivated before.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Is that what you're trying to do here? The words, Mac,
- 6:14Speaker 4: to sum up what I see from Gamecock fans, what
- 6:16Speaker 4: I read, exhausting, numb, and tiring. That's what I see
- 6:21Speaker 4: at this point. And a lot of, a lot of
- 6:23Speaker 4: people have weighed in on sellers too. And here's the thing.
- 6:26Speaker 2: When you allocate so much of your, I'll say, I'll
- 6:28Speaker 2: use the phrase cat money, right? For lack of a
- 6:30Speaker 2: better term. When you use so much of your cat
- 6:32Speaker 2: money on a CJ Bailey and a seller's, there's so
- 6:36Speaker 2: much pressure on them to be good. They have to
- 6:38Speaker 2: lift the other guys around them because you don't have
- 6:40Speaker 2: as much money to spend on the other ones. I
- 6:43Speaker 2: just don't want to write South Carolina off this year yet.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I thought they would win seven or eight games, so
- 6:49Speaker 2: I'm not going to bail off even though the loss
- 6:51Speaker 2: and the interceptions by Sellers were terrible and the way
- 6:54Speaker 2: they lost the game is brutal. That's where I'm at
- 6:57Speaker 2: right now. I'm trying to just watch this through. But
- 7:01Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you're saying what a lot of South
- 7:03Speaker 2: Carolina fans are feeling.
- 7:04Speaker 4: And how long do you still put faith in Sellers?
- 7:07Speaker 4: Is he your guy? Or eventually, if he keeps making
- 7:10Speaker 4: those mistakes? The problem is, Mac, I don't understand.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Where did the.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Physicality in the designed runs where he would carry the
- 7:18Speaker 4: other team? Remember that Clemson game when he dominated? That
- 7:21Speaker 4: was on his legs, and there was a physicality and
- 7:24Speaker 4: an unstoppable force.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I now see him, Mac, run. He goes right out
- 7:28Speaker 2: of bounds. He has run more and better this year, though.
- 7:32Speaker 2: He had 11 for 65 the other day.
- 7:34Speaker 4: He did, but it's not quite what it was. They're
- 7:36Speaker 4: depending on him to pass first, and that's not going
- 7:39Speaker 4: to be what his strength is. Yeah, they might be
- 7:40Speaker 4: telling him, hey, we're paying you a bunch of money.
- 7:42Speaker 2: We need you. There might be a little bit of
- 7:44Speaker 2: that there going on. I needed Dragon Ball carriers like
- 7:47Speaker 2: he did a couple years ago. In the trenches. That
- 7:49Speaker 2: would be nice to start this Saturday against Alabama, because
- 7:52Speaker 2: you're right, his fanny is melting. In the trenches says
- 7:55Speaker 2: Lenora Sellers is a coach killer, but Bubba from Stanley
- 7:58Speaker 2: County says Beamer doesn't have the killer instinct it takes
- 8:01Speaker 2: to be great. This dude says, when does Bone yell
- 8:04Speaker 2: at Mac again about South Carolina? Just a quick note
- 8:08Speaker 2: on that, Bone, because you felt like I was trying
- 8:10Speaker 2: to tell you how to be a fan, and you
- 8:12Speaker 2: responded with, I don't know, a Bobby Knight-type response. intensity. My,
- 8:18Speaker 2: my wife and son were driving down, ironically, Bone, to
- 8:22Speaker 2: Columbia for a visit for, Aiden's trying to decide on
- 8:25Speaker 2: his college. He's a senior. And he went, they were
- 8:28Speaker 2: driving down to Columbia. They heard that. And I said, I,
- 8:31Speaker 2: Christina said, oh, we got to listen to a bunch
- 8:33Speaker 2: of the show. I said, did you hear Bone scream
- 8:35Speaker 2: at me? She says, I did. We both thought it
- 8:37Speaker 2: was hilarious. So if they had their way, you would
- 8:42Speaker 2: yell at me every day. But I get your point.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I was already mad, and I felt when Matt was
- 8:48Speaker 2: kind of collateral, I felt like you were doing what
- 8:51Speaker 2: you're supposed to do as a host. You were having
- 8:53Speaker 2: a conversation that I just wanted to rant, honestly. I
- 8:57Speaker 2: wanted to rant and yell, and I felt like— Yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 2: I think you just wanted to step the hell out
- 9:00Speaker 2: of the way and shut up for a change. You
- 9:01Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, I now need the floor
- 9:03Speaker 2: because I'm furious. Marquee Baller says Sellers is done. He's
- 9:07Speaker 2: got the yips. The announcer's saying he's aiming, but really
- 9:11Speaker 2: it's a yip in his throat right before the release. Well,
- 9:13Speaker 2: Marquee Baller, get down there to Columbia and coach this
- 9:16Speaker 2: kid up. Now, what about the other schools we brought up?
- 9:19Speaker 2: NC State and Carolina are— Do you think State fans, like,
- 9:24Speaker 2: that mistake is, I still think it's more on Bailey
- 9:27Speaker 2: than Doran, but we both agreed yesterday, NC State allowed
- 9:32Speaker 2: them back in the game. They gave them life, you know,
- 9:34Speaker 2: to even be in that game instead of finishing it
- 9:36Speaker 2: off the other day. The thing with Doran is, you
- 9:40Speaker 2: feel like you know what you're going to get, but
- 9:42Speaker 2: I get some State fans are like, yeah, we know
- 9:44Speaker 2: what we're going to get. It's going to be seven wins,
- 9:46Speaker 2: eight wins, maybe we're real lucky nine wins. How about
- 9:49Speaker 2: we try to go for greatness? Like, so I, I
- 9:53Speaker 2: don't know. We'll see how the season ends bone, but
- 9:57Speaker 2: I definitely can see a world. Hell, I thought last
- 9:59Speaker 2: year until they got hot late in the season, I
- 10:01Speaker 2: thought last year was the year where they finally might say, okay,
- 10:04Speaker 2: let's try to go for something with a bigger upside.
- 10:08Speaker 4: I can't speak for State fans, but I have an
- 10:10Speaker 4: observation about what they might be going through. We played
- 10:13Speaker 4: the door in audio when he came on, right? At
- 10:15Speaker 4: what point, and this may be long ago, at what point, though,
- 10:19Speaker 4: do you not only get tired of the NC State bleep,
- 10:22Speaker 4: But hearing that voice try to explain what happened.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Because he doesn't really.
- 10:27Speaker 4: There's not a lot of emotion. There's not a lot
- 10:32Speaker 4: of belief in what he's just... It's not quite Belichick,
- 10:38Speaker 4: but at some point when he's been there for that long...
- 10:40Speaker 4: And think about the players that hear that all the
- 10:42Speaker 4: time also. At some point, do they just say... We're
- 10:46Speaker 4: tired of hearing this guy because I get tired of
- 10:47Speaker 4: hearing the audience.
- 10:48Speaker 2: I would guess he's different.
- 10:49Speaker 4: I respect what he's done as a coach, but at
- 10:51Speaker 4: some point, do they need a different voice there that's
- 10:53Speaker 4: just different? Look what Summerall's doing for the Florida program. Oh,
- 10:57Speaker 4: I love me some Johnny Summerall. That emotion, that energy.
- 10:59Speaker 4: There's a lack of oomph with Doran at times.
- 11:03Speaker 2: John Summerall had them chanting post-Auburn game. F them, but
- 11:08Speaker 2: they were not saying F and the whole team is
- 11:10Speaker 2: chanting F, F, F. It's just, he seems like he's
- 11:12Speaker 2: got his wife is an Auburn grad, by the way.
- 11:16Speaker 2: That's the best part of this. Wonder if she was
- 11:17Speaker 2: mad when he got home. Um, but anyway, uh, I,
- 11:21Speaker 2: and then the Summerall thing brings in the Carolina fans
- 11:23Speaker 2: because some folks believe there is some talk. There was
- 11:27Speaker 2: some talk there for a while, like, but that he
- 11:29Speaker 2: bailed out.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Right.
- 11:30Speaker 2: It sounds like 50. He bailed out. While Bubba was
- 11:33Speaker 2: trying to do a legit search and go after Summerall,
- 11:36Speaker 2: but then Summerall's people got word of this Belichick thing
- 11:39Speaker 2: with the board. The way Andy Staples tells it is
- 11:44Speaker 2: the reason he bailed is because he saw the dysfunction
- 11:47Speaker 2: with two searches. It's like, nope. I've got to find
- 11:49Speaker 2: a better spot. So if you're a Carolina fan, Fitty,
- 11:53Speaker 2: where are you at with Belichick? Because that's another fast.
- 11:57Speaker 2: There's so many. Throw Dabo in. There's so many conversations
- 11:59Speaker 2: of how hot should the seat be for y'all's coaches.
- 12:02Speaker 2: What do you think about Belichick? Because they have improved
- 12:06Speaker 2: the football, although Saturday was a disaster. Damn, that hurt.
- 12:09Speaker 2: That was a disappointing way to lose. The off-the-field stuff
- 12:12Speaker 2: is embarrassing, and it does reek of Mr. Control Freak
- 12:17Speaker 2: no longer controlling things.
- 12:20Speaker 6: I think the off-the-field stuff that complicates where Belichick's standing
- 12:26Speaker 6: is within the hierarchy of the decision-makers, I'm bought in
- 12:32Speaker 6: on seeing the vision and seeing how this all.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Plays out, because they are a better football team.
- 12:37Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:38Speaker 6: I watched a better product on Saturday against Clemson than
- 12:41Speaker 6: the product I saw last year against Clemson, and this
- 12:44Speaker 6: game was on the road where last year the game
- 12:46Speaker 6: was at home. But when you look at the fact
- 12:49Speaker 6: that he's 6-9 while getting paid $ 10 million a year,
- 12:53Speaker 6: you had to have your GM resign, your defensive coordinator
- 12:57Speaker 6: resign within the first month of the season. Oh, by
- 13:00Speaker 6: the way, the DC is your son. Not a good
- 13:03Speaker 6: look for where your program is at off the field.
- 13:07Speaker 6: I don't think it's hyperbolic to say, Mac, if the
- 13:10Speaker 6: season comes to an end and Carolina decides to move on,
- 13:14Speaker 6: you could look back at that Clemson game and say
- 13:16Speaker 6: that's where it started to really come to an end.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Because they would have been 3-0. They have so much momentum, dude.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Look at what you lost.
- 13:24Speaker 8: 3-0.
- 13:26Speaker 6: And Kirk Herbstreit told you twice, if Carolina beats Clemson,
- 13:30Speaker 6: game day will be in Chapel Hill for the Notre
- 13:33Speaker 6: Dame game.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Yeah, they blew a great chance there. Kirk Herbstreit also said, Bone,
- 13:37Speaker 2: he doesn't follow politics and doesn't know much about Ted Cruz,
- 13:39Speaker 2: but I think he lied. Anyway, I digress.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Pete Thamel said it also. He said during his stand-up thing,
- 13:46Speaker 4: he said that Carolina game today has got a lot
- 13:49Speaker 4: of implications for next season. They had that planned out.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I hate it, man. I want Carolina fans to have
- 13:54Speaker 2: some damn fun with football. Lord knows it's been a minute,
- 13:57Speaker 2: and this Belichick stuff is one bad thing. One bad
- 14:00Speaker 2: headline after the other. State fan says Doran should have
- 14:03Speaker 2: been gone a long time. He calls him Dave Dormat.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Dave Dormat should have been gone a long time ago.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Brian says Doran can't beat any teams worth a crap
- 14:12Speaker 2: on the regular. Well, he's 56 and 69 against P4 opponents.
- 14:17Speaker 2: So that's not good, right? How many times, Bone, have
- 14:19Speaker 2: you heard State fans say he pads his wins with
- 14:22Speaker 2: some of those non-conference group of five teams? He's nine
- 14:26Speaker 2: of 31 versus ranked teams, so there's a case there.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Tom says, we got a new AD at UNC. You
- 14:32Speaker 2: don't think he is dying to add someone that will
- 14:35Speaker 2: bring respectability to the football program? Yeah, and let's face it,
- 14:40Speaker 2: the fact that your son, whatever happened there. He was
- 14:42Speaker 2: also on the hiring committee, though. Whatever happened there. Newmark
- 14:45Speaker 2: was a part of the guy that got Belichick there.
- 14:47Speaker 2: So he wanted Belichick there? He wasn't on Bubba's side
- 14:51Speaker 2: of wanting a legit coach?
- 14:52Speaker 6: He was a part of the advising committee that helped
- 14:55Speaker 6: get Belichick to Chapel Hill.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Okay, he worked on the wrong search. Y'all did two searches.
- 15:00Speaker 2: He was on the bad one. I would have hoped
- 15:03Speaker 2: he was on Bubba's side, but apparently not. Oh, my goodness.
- 15:07Speaker 2: By the way.
- 15:07Speaker 4: I'm looking at the list of the nine victories. You
- 15:12Speaker 4: said 9-31, right?
- 15:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:13Speaker 4: I'm looking at the list of victories for Doran against
- 15:16Speaker 4: ranked teams. He had two in 2023, but he's not had.
- 15:21Speaker 2: He's not had a ranked win since 2023.
- 15:22Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 15:23Speaker 2: So they were talking three years now. We're getting a
- 15:25Speaker 2: little further away from that. And again, Vandy's not ranked
- 15:28Speaker 2: right now, but that would have been on the road.
- 15:30Speaker 2: I know they're starting a true freshman, but man, that
- 15:32Speaker 2: kid makes some plays. He's a talent. Like that's the
- 15:34Speaker 2: type of win your program needs, man. You don't beat
- 15:37Speaker 2: SEC teams other than Vandy in a bowl game 10
- 15:39Speaker 2: years ago. It would have been. You don't beat them.
- 15:41Speaker 2: That would have been huge. And then they just.
- 15:43Speaker 4: The state fan mind would have been, it's a disastrous
- 15:48Speaker 4: loss no matter what's happened prior. But when you tack
- 15:52Speaker 4: on the Virginia effort with the way they lost that game,
- 15:56Speaker 4: so not only do you have a disastrous loss, you
- 15:59Speaker 4: have a disastrous beginning. And it wasn't Virginia, there's no shame.
- 16:04Speaker 4: It's just the fact that, because you were underdogs. The
- 16:06Speaker 4: fact that you showed up on a national spot, by
- 16:09Speaker 4: the way, where the whole college football world's watching on
- 16:11Speaker 4: week zero. And you just completely urinated down your legs.
- 16:15Speaker 9: It's true.
- 16:16Speaker 2: You got both those things. It's true. All right. So
- 16:18Speaker 2: one of my well, I thought I thought this guy
- 16:20Speaker 2: was a friend. This guy, Matt, that I know from
- 16:22Speaker 2: the neighborhood says, Mac, let me get this straight. Your
- 16:25Speaker 2: son may go to South Carolina, which would in turn
- 16:28Speaker 2: probably make you a Gamecock fan. Bone can't be having this.
- 16:33Speaker 2: I don't think it's just bone. I think like I
- 16:35Speaker 2: don't think South Carolina fans like me. I think they
- 16:40Speaker 2: don't like what I say.
- 16:41Speaker 4: You don't want me to open up the door to
- 16:42Speaker 4: see what fan base is like, do you? But it
- 16:45Speaker 4: is true. Like, I will feel a very vested interest, Bone.
- 16:49Speaker 4: I know I try to spread the love around everybody,
- 16:51Speaker 4: and you guys appreciate it. Oh, you're going to put
- 16:53Speaker 4: on that Gamecock dad sweatshirt.
- 16:54Speaker 2: But, like, yeah. Like, I will then. There will be
- 16:57Speaker 2: a vested interest. We'll go visit him and go to games.
- 17:00Speaker 2: We're going to visit State in a little bit. I've
- 17:03Speaker 2: tried to push Carolina on him. I don't know. First
- 17:06Speaker 2: of all, it's really hard to get into, but also
- 17:07Speaker 2: because he's a Duke basketball fan, I don't think he
- 17:10Speaker 2: wants to do the Carolina thing. Although I've said, dude,
- 17:13Speaker 2: it's an amazing school. Why not go to Duke? He's
- 17:18Speaker 2: got my genes. He's a really smart kid, but my
- 17:22Speaker 2: brain power has held him back from Duke levels, I
- 17:25Speaker 2: feel like.
- 17:25Speaker 4: If he goes to UNC, how long until Uncle Fitty's
- 17:27Speaker 4: trying to get student tickets?
- 17:30Speaker 2: Fitting into student section hanging out oh my god so
- 17:33Speaker 2: anyway that's big news there could be state fans there's
- 17:37Speaker 2: also app and ecu in play i could be joining
- 17:40Speaker 2: one of y'all's fan bases man that's not exciting it
- 17:43Speaker 2: only took you 20 years oh man Oh, by the way,
- 17:48Speaker 2: I want to say this. Let's do, when we come back, Bone,
- 17:51Speaker 2: we still owe one more montage of misery. So maybe
- 17:54Speaker 2: we should do the montage. We got to talk to Stroh.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Maybe we should make sure we get the montage of
- 17:58Speaker 2: misery in the next segment as well, because these Atlanta
- 18:00Speaker 2: fans are mad.
- 18:01Speaker 4: People saying, stay beat, right, Georgia Tech. Last year, it
- 18:03Speaker 4: was not on my list for some reason.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, they did. Yeah, that was a hell of
- 18:06Speaker 2: a win. I don't know why. That's a good call.
- 18:08Speaker 2: I don't know why it's not listed here. That's part
- 18:10Speaker 2: of what kind of saved him last year. All right,
- 18:16Speaker 2: we come back. There it is.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Ashley Strohwein joins us for the Stroh Show. We'll talk
- 18:21Speaker 4: all about the Panthers and her assessment of Ryan Blaney
- 18:27Speaker 4: getting punched in the face and his mustache getting adjusted.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 18:31Speaker 10: Sunshine.
- 18:32Speaker 2: So good. If you threw it in the air, but
- 18:35Speaker 2: I couldn't help but stare.
- 18:41Speaker 10: I let you love me blind.
- 18:43Speaker 9: Sunshine.
- 18:46Speaker 10: I wanna bathe in your light, babe. All day, all night, babe. Babe,
- 18:51Speaker 10: we wanna say, hey.
- 18:52Speaker 9: La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
- 18:54Speaker 10: La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you. Cruising
- 19:03Speaker 2: along through the final hour. We will let you hear
- 19:06Speaker 2: the montage of Misery one more time. Played it in
- 19:08Speaker 2: the 7 o'clock hour. Rave reviews, of course. It's not
- 19:12Speaker 2: that hard, Bone, to impress our audience by finding clips
- 19:16Speaker 2: of angry, desperate, and sad Falcons fans and then just
- 19:20Speaker 2: letting them rip. Just letting them go, baby. We could
- 19:23Speaker 2: have done a six hour one. They are so bitter.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Like their quarterback situation has them going crazy or something.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Jack Strand is like the savior. It's so funny.
- 19:33Speaker 4: It was the most miserable day yesterday. The Falcons fans
- 19:36Speaker 4: have had said Sunday.
- 19:38Speaker 10: All right.
- 19:40Speaker 2: So before we get out of here, either like right
- 19:42Speaker 2: after Stroh or we'll just do it bone, you know,
- 19:44Speaker 2: leading off the final set, wherever we can kind of
- 19:46Speaker 2: fit it in best, but know that coming up here
- 19:49Speaker 2: in about the next 15, minutes or so, if you
- 19:51Speaker 2: want to hear Atlanta misery, I know they had their
- 19:53Speaker 2: loser radio yesterday, KB and Smoke. But if you want
- 19:56Speaker 2: to hear a little bit more misery from Atlanta, check
- 19:59Speaker 2: it out, Montage of Misery. Coming up before we get
- 20:02Speaker 2: out of here one more time, Right now, let's bring
- 20:04Speaker 2: in somebody. She's happy. She's not miserable, all right? Now,
- 20:07Speaker 2: maybe she was miserable like us after being at the
- 20:10Speaker 2: Panthers-Bears game, but it's a whole new weak bone, and
- 20:13Speaker 2: the defense made a 56-point improvement. The offense continues to
- 20:17Speaker 2: put up 30 burgers, and Bryce Young continues to ball out,
- 20:20Speaker 2: and we'll talk about that. Plus, we got NASCAR drama
- 20:23Speaker 2: at Bristol we need to talk about with Ashley Strohlein.
- 20:26Speaker 2: It's time for the Stroh Show. Hey, Stroh, what's going on?
- 20:28Speaker 2: How you doing?
- 20:30Speaker 3: Good morning, guys. You're sounding real happy for a Tuesday here.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Heck yeah. These winning weeks hit different, Stro. A little
- 20:36Speaker 2: sore today, Stro? I don't know if you're aware we
- 20:38Speaker 2: had to dance yesterday.
- 20:41Speaker 3: Oh, I'm aware because I saw and I've got a
- 20:44Speaker 3: lot of questions.
- 20:47Speaker 4: You mean like how did we become so talented type questions?
- 20:51Speaker 2: I do have lower, I do have leg tightness today.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Shout out to Dolly and two has Fitty's girl. I
- 20:57Speaker 3: need the update on that because we didn't get a
- 20:59Speaker 3: talk Last week, I saw some comments. People were wondering
- 21:04Speaker 3: if she's seen the video. So I'm just asking the
- 21:08Speaker 3: hard-hitting questions.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. It's a great question.
- 21:10Speaker 6: She has seen the footage, and she sent me a
- 21:13Speaker 6: text in all caps, simply with the word, HOT.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Are you talking about you or the other people involved?
- 21:21Speaker 11: Yes.
- 21:23Speaker 2: We all look good, including Boomer. It was a legit
- 21:26Speaker 2: question from people on Twitter, Stro. Like, okay, he's got
- 21:30Speaker 2: this new sweetheart. They've been like, he's had so many
- 21:33Speaker 2: dates now, I can't even keep track. Six, seven, something
- 21:35Speaker 2: like that. I don't even know. But Stro, it's a
- 21:37Speaker 2: legit question. How would she react to that? If that
- 21:40Speaker 2: was her reaction, Fitty may have found a good match. Yeah.
- 21:45Speaker 3: If that's what he got back, I mean, it might
- 21:48Speaker 3: be a soulmate. I don't know.
- 21:50Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Not every woman would be like
- 21:53Speaker 2: hot to that.
- 21:53Speaker 4: It was also my girlfriend's first victory dance scene. She's
- 21:57Speaker 4: seen the previous ones. That's her first time since we
- 22:01Speaker 4: started dating. And all she sent me was laughing emojis
- 22:04Speaker 4: and then There were no further words exchanged about it.
- 22:07Speaker 4: That's probably a better reaction. That is probably a better–
- 22:09Speaker 4: whereas my wife, Stroh, says, did you not get some
- 22:12Speaker 4: new dance moves this season?
- 22:13Speaker 2: It's still the same old crap. So that's different levels
- 22:17Speaker 2: of relationship reactions. That's true.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Different stages of where you guys are at. Yes.
- 22:25Speaker 2: What did you think, Stroh, about the Panthers' performance this week?
- 22:30Speaker 2: It's one ugly one. It's one blowout win. But the
- 22:35Speaker 2: common denominator is in both games, Bryce Young played amazing.
- 22:38Speaker 2: How are you feeling about all things Panthers right now?
- 22:42Speaker 11: Well, I'm most happy for you guys because I just
- 22:46Speaker 11: feel like you're so happy right now that it makes
- 22:48Speaker 11: me happy. You got to get in like us. But
- 22:51Speaker 11: it's week two. So, I mean, I know you're ready
- 22:56Speaker 11: for the next one. And I think it's great to
- 22:59Speaker 11: see Bryce Young in the office. And it's something I
- 23:03Speaker 11: have seen all the comments on social work. There's something
- 23:05Speaker 11: about Bryce in Atlanta. He always figures it out down there.
- 23:10Speaker 11: And so I don't know what's going on with him
- 23:12Speaker 11: in ATL, but it's a good place for him to play.
- 23:16Speaker 3: And it's just nice to see him. That's kind of
- 23:18Speaker 3: what we were talking about. Before the season, how did teams–
- 23:24Speaker 3: week one, it's about you. What product are you going
- 23:26Speaker 3: to put out there? Week two, okay, how do you
- 23:28Speaker 3: adjust that and how do you get better from that?
- 23:30Speaker 3: So good to see them in the win column and
- 23:33Speaker 3: everybody smiling and happy in Carolina.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Are you buying in that this offense is the real deal?
- 23:40Speaker 4: Do you need to see more? What's your thoughts offensively
- 23:43Speaker 4: of how good this offense can be?
- 23:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I think let's see one more game and we'll
- 23:50Speaker 3: talk about it. We've got two opposite, not with the offense,
- 23:53Speaker 3: but we've got two opposite ends of the spectrum here.
- 23:57Speaker 3: We had a rough week one loss, and then we've
- 24:01Speaker 3: got this week two win. So let's get a little
- 24:04Speaker 3: bit more into the season. But, you know, it's funny.
- 24:07Speaker 3: My old mentor and sports director, Delano Little, called me
- 24:11Speaker 3: to talk about the Panthers yesterday, and he was like,
- 24:15Speaker 3: I don't get to do this anymore because, you know,
- 24:16Speaker 3: I'm not on TV anymore, but I'm excited about the Panthers.
- 24:19Speaker 3: And I was like, whoa, okay, D-Man. So even he's
- 24:23Speaker 3: hype about what he saw this week.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I like it, Stroh. So next week, you said, give
- 24:28Speaker 2: you one more week. Next week, if the Panthers win,
- 24:30Speaker 2: I will be presenting you with another application to join
- 24:33Speaker 2: the 10-win club, Stroh. All right? It'll be the 14th time.
- 24:36Speaker 2: I will have tried. Um, let's, let's see here. Uh,
- 24:40Speaker 2: we got to ask you about the NASCAR drama. Um,
- 24:43Speaker 2: because I thought, first of all, I thought the racing
- 24:46Speaker 2: at Bristol was some of the best I've seen. The
- 24:48Speaker 2: short tracks have been struggling with this new car and man,
- 24:52Speaker 2: I thought that was vintage Bristol. I thought the racing
- 24:55Speaker 2: down the stretch was amazing. You have hosts, you have
- 24:58Speaker 2: hosts of our getting into Blaney during that whole thing.
- 25:01Speaker 2: You under a blanket. You have Joey Logano going from
- 25:06Speaker 2: fourth to first and then winning it. I thought it
- 25:09Speaker 2: was great. What did you think about the drama, Stroh?
- 25:13Speaker 2: I know you know Ryan Blaney pretty well. I don't
- 25:15Speaker 2: know how well you know Josevar, but Blaney went over there,
- 25:19Speaker 2: gave him a little shove, and next thing you know,
- 25:22Speaker 2: Josevar's firing punches. What did you think of that whole scene?
- 25:28Speaker 3: Well, you know, I had college football on Saturday. I
- 25:30Speaker 3: had the game in Knoxville at Tennessee and we had
- 25:33Speaker 3: a late kick. And so I didn't get a chance
- 25:35Speaker 3: to watch the race, but I get in the car
- 25:37Speaker 3: after and we're all going back to the hotel. And
- 25:41Speaker 3: the first thing I see is Oh, my God, a fight. Oh,
- 25:45Speaker 3: my God, it's Blaine. I was like, what is happening?
- 25:48Speaker 3: And then my mom, she was obviously watching my game,
- 25:51Speaker 3: but she was watching the race, too. And she's like,
- 25:53Speaker 3: did you see Blaine? He got in a fight. And
- 25:55Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, goodness. And so, boy, that was something.
- 25:59Speaker 3: But that's Bristol, right? And I appreciate it. I don't
- 26:02Speaker 3: know if you've seen it. He went on Diddy Hamlin's
- 26:05Speaker 3: podcast yesterday, and it came out. And, you know, I
- 26:08Speaker 3: like RBs. stance on, I'm going to take accountability. I'm
- 26:11Speaker 3: going to call it like it is. Like I'm not,
- 26:13Speaker 3: you know, and I thought he was just really much
- 26:16Speaker 3: honest in the situation of, yeah, well, we're all kind
- 26:19Speaker 3: of fed up with Carson. And I had something I
- 26:21Speaker 3: wanted to say and that hold my phone and didn't
- 26:24Speaker 3: have a plan after that. And I ate a two piece.
- 26:27Speaker 2: And so I think that was a great line.
- 26:30Speaker 3: It was so good. I appreciate him just saying, you
- 26:33Speaker 3: know what, let's go ahead and talk about it. And, yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 3: I got a little bit of a shiner today.
- 26:37Speaker 2: He also admitted, too. Yeah, he admitted I got my
- 26:39Speaker 2: butt beat and took a two-piece to the face. Then
- 26:42Speaker 2: he also admitted that he was mad at the moment,
- 26:45Speaker 2: but the more thinking of it, re-watching it, he says
- 26:47Speaker 2: it was 50-50. He said, you know, he kind of
- 26:50Speaker 2: took half the blame. So he came across as really
- 26:53Speaker 2: mature and classy. So you know who didn't like it?
- 26:57Speaker 2: It's Fitty. Fitty Jones. But Finney wanted him to, like,
- 27:01Speaker 2: still be angry. Is that what it was, Finney? Like,
- 27:04Speaker 2: you wanted him to, like, still... You wanted him to, like,
- 27:07Speaker 2: hate hosts of Arsenal.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yes.
- 27:09Speaker 10: Don't try to.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Hate is good for the sport.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Just.
- 27:15Speaker 10: And he only.
- 27:16Speaker 6: Regretted it because Carson gave him a two-piece. If Carson
- 27:20Speaker 6: doesn't land those two punches, he doesn't regret doing what
- 27:23Speaker 6: he's doing. I don't know about that.
- 27:25Speaker 2: He got embarrassed. He tried to be that.
- 27:28Speaker 7: Guy and put it on his ass.
- 27:29Speaker 3: And the way he got back up, I was cracking up.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I don't know if it was Denny that said it.
- 27:34Speaker 3: He was like a running back going through there, like
- 27:37Speaker 3: back underneath all the people.
- 27:38Speaker 2: How did he get back? How did he get back there?
- 27:39Speaker 2: He got back through the crew guys somewhere. Matter of fact,
- 27:42Speaker 2: if Brooks misses time, Blaney might be able to play
- 27:44Speaker 2: a little backup running back for us.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Stroh, there's authority. If you're going to grow that mustache,
- 27:50Speaker 4: you can't lose the fight. Do you agree with that?
- 27:53Speaker 3: You guys love the mustache question.
- 27:55Speaker 2: It's all we see. It's his face.
- 27:58Speaker 11: But I'll say this.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Carson is obviously fairly tall. I don't, you guys haven't,
- 28:02Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever met him, but you know, he's,
- 28:05Speaker 3: he's a pretty tall dude. So the wingspan he had
- 28:08Speaker 3: to get.
- 28:08Speaker 11: The reach advantage right there.
- 28:11Speaker 3: It was, you know, Ryan was at a disadvantage.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Stro breaking down. Like if Stro is like the fight, Dr.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Ferdie Pacheco breaking down the boxing match. That is tremendous.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. So you were in Knoxville over there.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Was that your first time doing a sideline game in
- 28:25Speaker 2: Knoxville or no?
- 28:26Speaker 3: It was my second, but it's been a couple years,
- 28:28Speaker 3: so I was happy to be back.
- 28:31Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Knoxville? That is a college
- 28:35Speaker 2: town I've never been to. I've never been to a
- 28:36Speaker 2: game there. What's the experience like? What do you think?
- 28:40Speaker 2: Do you like that joint?
- 28:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it made me kind of want to... I was like,
- 28:44Speaker 3: should I take a year off and come back to school?
- 28:47Speaker 3: This is kind of fun. I like the downtown area.
- 28:50Speaker 3: It's very... a small town feel. And for me, you know,
- 28:53Speaker 3: it's kind of like same region and area that I
- 28:56Speaker 3: grew up in. So it felt kind of homey. And, um,
- 28:59Speaker 3: I just think that the staff there is so nice
- 29:02Speaker 3: and welcoming and, uh, appreciate Bill and all the guys
- 29:06Speaker 3: there that set up everything for us and that I
- 29:08Speaker 3: get to work with. And, uh, you know, we get
- 29:09Speaker 3: to have our coaches meetings in the Peyton Manning room.
- 29:13Speaker 3: So you get to see all that memorabilia. I do
- 29:15Speaker 3: hate to say there is some stuff from super bowl
- 29:16Speaker 3: 50 in.
- 29:17Speaker 2: There, but no, you should have said, could you throw
- 29:20Speaker 2: that next time you're there? Take that stuff, throw it
- 29:21Speaker 2: out for us, please. Yeah.
- 29:23Speaker 3: I'll never be back.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 29:27Speaker 3: It's a great experience.
- 29:28Speaker 2: The atmosphere.
- 29:29Speaker 3: I mean, I, that's the one thing I really can
- 29:32Speaker 3: get an appreciation for is when I'm on the field
- 29:35Speaker 3: and I get to see the fan base and what
- 29:37Speaker 3: the players get to, you know, run out to and
- 29:40Speaker 3: play in front of every weekend um i just think
- 29:43Speaker 3: knoxville does it right and big time game there this
- 29:46Speaker 3: weekend texas.
- 29:47Speaker 4: This week you know what steve spur here would say
- 29:49Speaker 4: about uh stro's trip to knoxville yep you should have
- 29:51Speaker 4: gone to the phil former room some people call that
- 29:54Speaker 4: the cafeteria.
- 29:54Speaker 5: Thank you ball coach i appreciate that i appreciate that
- 30:00Speaker 5: um all right myself on that one all right stro
- 30:03Speaker 5: what's your game you got a game this week stro.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Yes, I head to Tallahassee for Central Arkansas at Florida State.
- 30:11Speaker 2: All right, there you go. All right, well, watch out
- 30:15Speaker 2: for flying objects that are aimed for Mike Norvell, all right?
- 30:19Speaker 2: Just a heads up, Stroh.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Well, we're going to hope for a dub. You know,
- 30:23Speaker 3: this is his former team. He played there, so it
- 30:27Speaker 3: should be– hopefully it will bring some good vibes for him.
- 30:30Speaker 2: He could definitely use it, although they look so good, Bone,
- 30:32Speaker 2: for about a quarter and a half. 21-6 up against Bama,
- 30:36Speaker 2: and then they get routed. All right, Stroh, hey, we
- 30:38Speaker 2: appreciate you coming on. As always, it's fun. Fitty's relationship
- 30:43Speaker 2: is thriving, even while he does shirtless victory dances in
- 30:46Speaker 2: a bra. And if they can overcome that together, they
- 30:49Speaker 2: can overcome anything, I feel like. together.
- 30:52Speaker 3: I need like a full-time update on, on city. You
- 30:55Speaker 3: guys can text me, but should we start, like, should
- 30:57Speaker 3: we reach out to, you know, the Teppers and try
- 31:01Speaker 3: and get an on-field proposal at a game this season
- 31:03Speaker 3: set up? Is that the move?
- 31:05Speaker 2: I don't know. That would be big for you, man.
- 31:09Speaker 2: You know, during a timeout or something, you're proposing at
- 31:11Speaker 2: the stadium, Panther Finney. End the interview.
- 31:16Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 31:17Speaker 2: I don't like their answer. Oh, that didn't go well.
- 31:21Speaker 2: All right. All right, Stroh, we'll talk to you next week.
- 31:23Speaker 2: All right, there you go. That is Ashley Strohlein, who
- 31:26Speaker 2: usually never gets in trouble. Usually it's us giving each
- 31:29Speaker 2: other crap and making the other person mad.
- 31:31Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 31:31Speaker 2: For once. Fitty had enough of Stroh's antics there on
- 31:35Speaker 2: the show. I think we have to go back to
- 31:37Speaker 2: Fitty now for an update, right? That's right. Yeah, we'll
- 31:41Speaker 2: do the Atlanta montage of Misery after the break. So
- 31:45Speaker 2: hang a little bit. Tell your boss you can't go
- 31:47Speaker 2: into the office just yet. You got to listen to
- 31:50Speaker 2: Bitter Falcons fans and laugh at them. Fitty, what do
- 31:52Speaker 2: you have over there? Come on, Fitty, put your arm
- 31:54Speaker 2: a little bit. In the form of a flash. Fitty
- 31:57Speaker 2: flashed us yesterday doing that dance.
- 32:07Speaker 6: All right, guys, this update brought to you by, once again,
- 32:12Speaker 6: our friends at the H & S Roofing and Gutter Company.
- 32:16Speaker 6: Do not wait for a small problem to become a
- 32:17Speaker 6: big one. If you see an issue with your roof,
- 32:20Speaker 6: if you see an issue with your gutters, give them
- 32:22Speaker 6: a call. They'll give you a free estimate. That phone
- 32:25Speaker 6: number is 704-334-9934.
- 32:25Speaker 5: 704-334-9934.
- 32:25Speaker 3: 704-334-9934.
- 32:35Speaker 10: 334-9934.
- 32:37Speaker 6: Some other tidbits coming out of the week one or
- 32:40Speaker 6: week two NFL season. With his performance last night, Matthew
- 32:45Speaker 6: Stafford is now sixth all-time in passing touchdowns in the
- 32:49Speaker 6: history of the NFL. The Eagles will be reuniting with
- 32:55Speaker 6: tight end Zach Ertz.
- 32:56Speaker 2: He joined their.
- 32:57Speaker 6: Practice squad yesterday after Dallas Goddard. He also suffered an
- 33:02Speaker 6: MCL sprain, and the Colts will be without wide receiver
- 33:05Speaker 6: Alec Pierce for a number of weeks after he got
- 33:08Speaker 6: injured during Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Well done, Fetty. Well done. Thank you. Did you listen
- 33:14Speaker 2: to that? Heck yeah. I was locked in, baby. Locked in.
- 33:17Speaker 2: What was your favorite part about that? Alec Pierce's injury, man.
- 33:19Speaker 2: That's big for the Colts. What did I say before that?
- 33:21Speaker 2: They need a win. Jackson Dart. Not even close. Caleb
- 33:27Speaker 2: Williams shaking Daniels. Something about Scataboo, I thought I heard. Scataboo, Scataboo.
- 33:31Speaker 2: What was up with Scataboo when they were on the
- 33:33Speaker 2: goal line, Bone, not being in the game? Don't they
- 33:36Speaker 2: want that big hole? I mean, I guess they do
- 33:39Speaker 2: it bigger size-wise, but don't they want that animal running
- 33:42Speaker 2: the ball down there?
- 33:43Speaker 4: Yeah, you would think so. Also, I knew that you
- 33:46Speaker 4: were going to do Scataboo, Scataboo. Scataboo, Scataboo, forget about it.
- 33:49Speaker 4: I didn't want the goal line with Scataboo. Apparently they
- 33:53Speaker 4: did forget about him. When we come back, it's the
- 33:55Speaker 4: wrap-up on Sports Radio 92.7.
- 34:05Speaker 9: All right, what a great day.
- 34:06Speaker 7: But it is in the midst of what is arguably
- 34:09Speaker 7: the worst start that we've seen, maybe ever for the Falcons,
- 34:14Speaker 7: outside the quarterback being in jail.
- 34:18Speaker 8: Cooper Rush is the worst football player of all time.
- 34:20Speaker 8: He's the worst quarterback in the league right now today.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 34:23Speaker 8: That's what he is.
- 34:24Speaker 2: I don't care what anybody says. He's the worst. Let
- 34:27Speaker 2: it go.
- 34:27Speaker 3: It's over.
- 34:28Speaker 2: We are now the Cleveland Browns. The Atlanta Browns. The
- 34:31Speaker 2: Cleveland Falcons.
- 34:32Speaker 10: That's who we are. We are the trash! We are
- 34:36Speaker 10: the Falcons! We are the team that wants to blow
- 34:39Speaker 10: our league every damn year! It's a choice that we have!
- 34:44Speaker 10: It's amazing. It's true.
- 34:46Speaker 8: The Falcons are going to be trash every single year.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Don't know what you're whining about.
- 34:53Speaker 8: We all saw it coming because we know as soon
- 34:55Speaker 8: as Bryce Young lands his play in Atlanta, he turns
- 34:59Speaker 8: into Peyton Brady. He turns into Tom Manning, Joe Montana,
- 35:03Speaker 8: Prime Aaron Rodgers. He turns into Super Bowl MVP Bryce Young.
- 35:07Speaker 10: We are the trash.
- 35:10Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you something about the Carolina Pebbles.
- 35:12Speaker 2: That might be our only victory this year.
- 35:14Speaker 10: Bryce Young is trash.
- 35:16Speaker 3: They look like doo-doos.
- 35:18Speaker 2: It's been seven quarters of straight ass.
- 35:20Speaker 7: Look, it's been eight quarters of straight ass, if you
- 35:23Speaker 7: want to call it.
- 35:24Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I need that booty.
- 35:25Speaker 9: Boy, this ain't a super version of Falcon-itis.
- 35:29Speaker 10: Woo!
- 35:36Speaker 2: Don't be dumb. First of all, you need.
- 35:38Speaker 7: To go get Cam Newton because that boy you got
- 35:40Speaker 7: back there was running for his life and he's trash.
- 35:43Speaker 3: I know the circumstances that we've got right now, fellas.
- 35:45Speaker 3: I'm not.
- 35:46Speaker 9: I'm hoping for rainbows and sprinkles to come out of
- 35:50Speaker 9: the poop sandwich that we've got right now. We're just
- 35:52Speaker 9: real frustrated with this, man. We always be embarrassed. I mean,
- 35:55Speaker 9: the NFL look at us as a joke. I mean,
- 35:57Speaker 9: fans of the other teams come in here and they
- 35:59Speaker 9: just run the stadium. I mean, we haven't seen a
- 36:02Speaker 9: good product since. I can't remember.
- 36:05Speaker 7: We are the Tracks!
- 36:08Speaker 10: We are the Falcons!
- 36:10Speaker 7: You don't know what moment changes a game, but the
- 36:13Speaker 7: way Cooper Rush came out, it was like, I'm about
- 36:15Speaker 7: to give you all my best. That's what that run was. Like,
- 36:18Speaker 7: if it's there, I'm taking it. I'm going to be confident.
- 36:20Speaker 7: I'm going to throw the ball around the day.
- 36:22Speaker 2: And if we lose, we lose. That's what it felt like.
- 36:24Speaker 7: So if that is overturned and it goes our way,
- 36:27Speaker 7: I'm not telling you we won the game, but you
- 36:28Speaker 7: don't know what plays change the trajectory of a game.
- 36:33Speaker 10: We are the Falcons! We are the Falcons!
- 36:36Speaker 2: All right, there you go. That is the montage of misery. Beautiful.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Shout-outs to 92.9 The Game in Atlanta and various Falcon
- 36:53Speaker 2: fans with YouTube channels and a lot of anger, including
- 36:58Speaker 2: our man that kept singing.
- 37:00Speaker 10: We are the Falcons! oh i love.
- 37:04Speaker 4: That guy had to be a lot left on the
- 37:06Speaker 4: cutting room floor also when i put that together oh
- 37:08Speaker 4: there's there was oh it was glorious man that was
- 37:10Speaker 4: fun listening yesterday to atlanta falcons fans lose their minds.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Was enjoyable it was it was good for the panther
- 37:19Speaker 2: fan soul bone and i hope that was there.
- 37:21Speaker 4: Too i feel better now there's some mac the panthers
- 37:24Speaker 4: are being talked about on get up a lot today
- 37:26Speaker 4: do you know why Why is that? They're listed up
- 37:29Speaker 4: there because they're talking to Sean Watson all morning and
- 37:31Speaker 4: the Panthers are playing him this week. So it says
- 37:34Speaker 4: that Sean Watson first Panthers on Sunday. So we're on there.
- 37:39Speaker 2: That's all right. At some point, y'all going to be
- 37:41Speaker 2: talking about Bryce. I found two people. Well, Orlovsky was, too.
- 37:44Speaker 2: I found three people yesterday talking about Bryce. Orlovsky on
- 37:47Speaker 2: NFL Live was raving about him. JTO Sullivan did a
- 37:50Speaker 2: whole QB school and was raving about him. And Manuel Acho.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Somebody said it's the only time we've ever valued Emmanuel
- 37:57Speaker 2: Acho's opinion on this show is when he was praising
- 38:00Speaker 2: Bryce yesterday. You may have a point. You may have
- 38:03Speaker 2: a point there, sir. All right. Anyway, okay, so we
- 38:07Speaker 2: got no football tonight, Boney. We got to make it
- 38:09Speaker 2: through a couple of nights without football, unfortunately. We're not
- 38:12Speaker 2: to match in time. No, we're not. I did look
- 38:15Speaker 2: that up. So we've got Braves and Reds. Braves have
- 38:18Speaker 2: already clinched a division. And are they... Are they locked
- 38:22Speaker 2: in bone to the third division champ? Are they locked
- 38:25Speaker 2: into that spot? Like they can.
- 38:27Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, I don't know if it's official, but they're,
- 38:31Speaker 4: they are. Let me double check here. There are seven games,
- 38:36Speaker 4: six games left, right? Yankees play seven because they have
- 38:38Speaker 4: a double header. There are six games left. They are
- 38:43Speaker 4: six behind Milwaukee, four behind the Dodgers. So I don't,
- 38:47Speaker 4: I think it's, It's possible, but not likely, though.
- 38:50Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 38:51Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing the Braves get going in
- 38:56Speaker 2: the playoffs a little bit.
- 38:58Speaker 4: Yeah, Milwaukee's not. I mean, unless Milwaukee lost every game,
- 39:00Speaker 4: but I don't think so.
- 39:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So who do you think, who's the favorite,
- 39:05Speaker 2: who should be the favorite in the National League? Dodgers
- 39:09Speaker 2: or Milwaukee? Milwaukee looks like the best team, but the Dodgers.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Milwaukee's had a year last year where they were the
- 39:15Speaker 2: best team. And they're to me, they're kind of like
- 39:17Speaker 2: Tampa is where they're great in the regular season. Do
- 39:23Speaker 2: they have enough to win it all? I don't know.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Um the then you got the cubs the padres and
- 39:30Speaker 4: the phillies as the wild card teams i i don't
- 39:35Speaker 4: know man it's very hard to tell they're all they're
- 39:38Speaker 4: all have great ability they're all flawed in some ways
- 39:42Speaker 4: Do you just go the easier route and say the
- 39:45Speaker 4: Dodgers figure it out?
- 39:46Speaker 2: But I don't know. That would be my lean, but
- 39:49Speaker 2: I hope the Braves do it. I do hope the
- 39:51Speaker 2: Braves do it.
- 39:51Speaker 4: Of the teams that are in the wild card, meaning
- 39:54Speaker 4: the Phillies, Padres, and Cubs, probably say the Cubs, I
- 39:58Speaker 4: would say.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. Don't forget the Cubs. Yeah, that's a
- 40:00Speaker 2: good point. Those are four. I mean, I don't know
- 40:03Speaker 2: if the Braves are a legit contender, though. To be
- 40:05Speaker 2: honest with you, is there enough starting pitching there? That's
- 40:07Speaker 2: some tough matchups. Those are tough matchups all the way through.
- 40:10Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 40:11Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the text line. Let's see
- 40:13Speaker 2: what y'all have. 704-570-9610. Send them in. Text line powered
- 40:18Speaker 2: by affordable siding and windows. Your hometown home improvement experts.
- 40:22Speaker 2: And shout out because our Uptown Studios presented by Harrah's
- 40:26Speaker 2: Cherokee Casino and Resort. I struggled to say that, Bone,
- 40:28Speaker 2: in the very first episode. seconds of the show earlier
- 40:31Speaker 2: today uh let's see what we have i thought you
- 40:33Speaker 2: i thought you settled in though a little bit i
- 40:35Speaker 2: did i settled into my groove it was a rough
- 40:37Speaker 2: i've never seen the pitching coach come out that early
- 40:39Speaker 2: in the ball game here's a text about hozavar uh
- 40:43Speaker 2: carson hozavar is a legend blaney came asking for the
- 40:46Speaker 2: knuckle sandwich and what a sandwich and what do you
- 40:48Speaker 2: know it was on the menu We've got multiple texts
- 40:53Speaker 2: coming in about the new Carolina Mike song, which we
- 40:56Speaker 2: played in the 8 o'clock hour. Check it out in
- 40:58Speaker 2: the podcast or just find it on Carolina Mike socials.
- 41:02Speaker 2: This texter says Carolina Mike is a musical genius. Another texter,
- 41:07Speaker 2: that song is 100 percent bop from Carolina Mike. Yet
- 41:12Speaker 2: another texter. The good kind of Bob, not the one
- 41:14Speaker 2: we referenced. He's involved, too. It's funny you ask. He said,
- 41:18Speaker 2: this is what happened when I asked AI to make
- 41:20Speaker 2: a corny Panthers rap. So Bebop now, not only taking
- 41:25Speaker 2: shots at Bryce, also Carolina Mike. We think you might
- 41:28Speaker 2: be an AI creation. Someone said, that's a no for me, dog.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Another texter says, that Carolina Mike song sounded like if
- 41:38Speaker 2: Russell Wilson made a Panthers rap. Is that a compliment?
- 41:43Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not sure.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Russell Wilson can probably make a song. He's married to
- 41:46Speaker 4: a musician, after all.
- 41:49Speaker 2: That is true.
- 41:49Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 41:50Speaker 2: I don't know if he can be helped. Let's see here.
- 41:55Speaker 2: This is from Trophy Husband. Says that Caleb Williams stuff
- 41:58Speaker 2: is cracking me up. Solid being compared to Ricky Bobby
- 42:01Speaker 2: saying he is on fire in Talladega Nights. So he
- 42:06Speaker 2: is catching some flack here, I guess, because of his
- 42:09Speaker 2: reaction to the injury. And then also, Bone, the way
- 42:12Speaker 2: when he was being carted out of the stadium. Yeah,
- 42:15Speaker 2: he's like the biggest meme in the world right now.
- 42:17Speaker 2: The way he was like almost doing like a Trump
- 42:20Speaker 2: fight fight. But like, because I thought his Achilles was gone.
- 42:24Speaker 2: I thought he tore his Achilles. I thought that's what
- 42:27Speaker 2: it was. I thought it was something that bad. Turns
- 42:29Speaker 2: out like he's going to miss maybe like a week.
- 42:32Speaker 4: I kind of stayed away from mocking him because as
- 42:34Speaker 4: a frequent muscle puller, strain guy, I know what he's
- 42:39Speaker 4: going through. I've been carried out of the gym before
- 42:41Speaker 4: in a similar way.
- 42:42Speaker 2: You can't relate. Bone thinking he's going to die. I
- 42:45Speaker 2: remember that time, Bone, we were playing pick-up hoops. Here
- 42:48Speaker 2: we go. You looked like you were going to die.
- 42:49Speaker 2: They had to lay you down on the bench.
- 42:51Speaker 4: I remember someone said, hey, man, that bro's getting charcoal colored.
- 42:57Speaker 2: And I said, who? And I looked at my skin
- 42:58Speaker 2: and I said, oh, it must be you. Oh, my God.
- 43:00Speaker 2: In fairness, I didn't. That was right after the show.
- 43:03Speaker 2: I didn't eat that day yet. Well, that'll definitely do it.
- 43:06Speaker 2: That combination with. Your fitness level could probably do it.
- 43:11Speaker 2: I was hungry. Shout out to Charlotte Todd, who wants
- 43:14Speaker 2: Dave Doran to coach the Wolfpack. This guy wants Beamer
- 43:17Speaker 2: at North Carolina. Musical chairs within the Carolinas. This South
- 43:23Speaker 2: Carolina fan wants Manny Diaz at South Carolina. Is that
- 43:25Speaker 2: a good topic? Which coach within the Carolinas would you take?
- 43:29Speaker 2: Because clearly many of you do not want your own.
- 43:31Speaker 4: Someone asked me a tough question. Bone, you love Manny Diaz,
- 43:34Speaker 4: but what if South Carolina takes him? It's a tough
- 43:37Speaker 4: one there. You know what? I would be okay because
- 43:41Speaker 4: I trust the Duke hiring process. They seem to hit
- 43:44Speaker 4: on their coaches. So I would trust that. I wouldn't
- 43:47Speaker 4: love it, but I would suggest that.
- 43:50Speaker 4: Man he's gonna leave go somewhere else i root for
- 43:53Speaker 4: i'm a very complex odd man.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Can you transfer him over like from like like like
- 43:57Speaker 2: those uh like if you own like you're you're if
- 44:00Speaker 2: you own two different soccer clubs you could transfer a
- 44:02Speaker 2: coach from one of your clubs to the other and
- 44:04Speaker 2: your ownership group is that what you're trying to do now.
- 44:06Speaker 4: We mentioned today georgia clemson canceled their future four game
- 44:09Speaker 4: series yesterday A lot of canceling of series because of
- 44:12Speaker 4: scheduling changes. Clemson canceled their series. I'm going to guess
- 44:16Speaker 4: that Dabo made that call to Kirby and said, hey, man,
- 44:19Speaker 4: having some trouble here at schedule, man.
- 44:20Speaker 10: I'm sorry.
- 44:21Speaker 2: They're going to need two free wins in the non-con.
- 44:24Speaker 2: You know what I mean? With them going nine-game conference.
- 44:27Speaker 4: And then Kirby said, well, can't wait to see who
- 44:30Speaker 4: the next coach is that we're coaching against.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Although, did you hear, Boney, that next year the ACC
- 44:35Speaker 2: will now have every team but one play nine games?
- 44:38Speaker 9: Yes.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Clemson's the only one playing eight conference games. That is
- 44:41Speaker 2: just such a janky schedule. Yeah, it is. When you
- 44:44Speaker 2: can't even do the math to get everybody to play
- 44:47Speaker 2: the same amount of conference. That is hashtag go ACC.
- 44:51Speaker 2: Shout out, by the way, to a texter that compared
- 44:53Speaker 2: the Rams' yellow uniforms to the Savannah Bananas as well.
- 44:58Speaker 2: All right. We got to get out of here, y'all.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Hopefully you enjoyed it. It's a victory week. What are
- 45:02Speaker 2: we going to do tomorrow? We got to start talking
- 45:04Speaker 2: about the fact the Browns are up next tomorrow and
- 45:06Speaker 2: maybe talk about the division race early on with the
- 45:09Speaker 2: Saints posing a threat. Coming up next, Charlotte Sports Today,
- 45:13Speaker 2: Colin Hoggard. Stay tuned, everybody.
