Transcript
- 0:15Speaker 1: Yeah, this is, you know, the game ball, I'm carrying
- 0:18Speaker 1: this one with me. You know, I never took a
- 0:20Speaker 1: game ball, but this is going to be the first
- 0:22Speaker 1: one I take. And the reason is because a lot
- 0:24Speaker 1: of people don't believe in us. A lot of people
- 0:26Speaker 1: ain't believe in us. And this was the show. This
- 0:28Speaker 1: ball right here, the show, we're that team, bro. And
- 0:31Speaker 1: we're a group of guys that if we put our
- 0:32Speaker 1: minds to it, we can do it. And that's what
- 0:34Speaker 1: we did. And, you know, it's going to continue to
- 0:36Speaker 1: build off of this every week. Going in the Wake
- 0:38Speaker 1: Forest next week. Even after that, we're going to keep
- 0:40Speaker 1: building and stacking days. So, thank you.
- 0:44Speaker 2: C.J. Bailey was slinging it downfield the other night in
- 0:48Speaker 2: a huge win for the Pack. Upset win at Carter
- 0:53Speaker 2: Finley against the Louisville Cardinals. An absolute major win for
- 0:58Speaker 2: NC State. I hope the fans enjoyed it. So he's
- 1:01Speaker 2: talking there, Bone. It's time for Pump to Piss, by
- 1:04Speaker 2: the way. Let us know. what you're feeling as a
- 1:07Speaker 2: college football fan. Are you an excited Wolfpack fan? Are
- 1:11Speaker 2: you an excited Mizzou fan? Speaking of Willie P, Florida
- 1:16Speaker 2: State fans have something to be excited about.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Hey, guys.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Running all over Virginia, there's a lot of different fan bases.
- 1:22Speaker 2: We can tip our hats to Bone Man, and there's
- 1:24Speaker 2: a lot of fan bases in the Carolinas that can
- 1:29Speaker 2: bitch and moan about what happened over the weekend. We
- 1:32Speaker 2: would love to hear. Both emotions today. Allow me, Bone,
- 1:37Speaker 2: to be the first one to make the joke that C.J.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Bailey was talking there about carrying the game ball into
- 1:43Speaker 2: the press conference. After the Vanderbilt fumble, I'm told he
- 1:48Speaker 2: has not let the football go, Bone.
- 1:50Speaker 3: It's like the program, bro. He's going to carry it everywhere.
- 1:53Speaker 3: They have it like duct tape to his hands so
- 1:56Speaker 3: he can't drop it.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Sleeps with that thing. Duct tape to his hands. But
- 2:01Speaker 2: he was good, man. The Dyson tackle from behind and
- 2:04Speaker 2: forced fumble was huge. I was so happy for the
- 2:08Speaker 2: Wolfpack to have that moment. And we talked about it.
- 2:11Speaker 2: You actually had the foresight to pick him. I was
- 2:13Speaker 2: too scared to do it. You deserved to be commended, Bone.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Wolfpack Bone is a vibe. But you knew that it
- 2:20Speaker 2: could be a spot where they could rise up and
- 2:24Speaker 2: do that good Wolfpack thing. You know, it was a combination.
- 2:28Speaker 2: And they did it, man.
- 2:29Speaker 3: It was a combination of I think that they're. They're
- 2:32Speaker 3: better than, obviously, the play at Virginia-like. And they had
- 2:36Speaker 3: Vanderbilt beaten, but they blew the game. I thought they
- 2:40Speaker 3: were due for a big win. I also didn't enter
- 2:43Speaker 3: the game, Mac, with a lot of faith in Louisville.
- 2:46Speaker 3: I didn't have full trust. I didn't really think that
- 2:49Speaker 3: they were that playoff contending team that we thought. So
- 2:53Speaker 3: I kind of thought this is a good spot, and
- 2:54Speaker 3: it turns out that every once in a while the
- 2:57Speaker 3: squirrel nothing.
- 3:01Speaker 2: That whole squirrel nut thing whatever that is um zach
- 3:04Speaker 2: in miami cj bailey is uh where's it at here
- 3:08Speaker 2: cj bailey is phenomenal when he doesn't make the worst
- 3:11Speaker 2: mistake you ever yeah other than that that's a big
- 3:14Speaker 2: one right But, man, he's had four really good games
- 3:17Speaker 2: in a row. And that showdown against Wake at noon
- 3:20Speaker 2: in Raleigh is fun. The Deke fans are all over
- 3:24Speaker 2: the text line on Pump to Piss Monday, and you
- 3:26Speaker 2: should be. Deacon Doug says Wake made a statement against Stanford.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Steve Carolina Cat says excited Wake fan. 57 points, Bone.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Did Miami even beat them by that many points? Stanford.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I'm not sure they did. I don't remember the score.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I don't think so. That's a 54-point beatdown of an
- 3:48Speaker 2: ACC foe. I don't care how bad they are.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Miami won by 39 against Stanford.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Dude, that was– you're right. Statement is the word. There's
- 3:58Speaker 2: no doubt that that is– you've got to take notice.
- 4:01Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, Dickert, the vibes there are so good.
- 4:04Speaker 2: You said it. Lopez, throw him in the ACC Player
- 4:07Speaker 2: of the Year contention. He's been that good. What a
- 4:10Speaker 2: total complete performance, man, that was. No, absolutely.
- 4:13Speaker 3: They deserve to be ranked. They're favored on the road
- 4:17Speaker 3: at NC State this weekend. That's going to be a
- 4:19Speaker 3: phenomenal game, a huge game in the ACC involving two
- 4:23Speaker 3: teams back from the Carolinas. We don't always have that
- 4:26Speaker 3: all the time. I cannot wait to watch that game.
- 4:29Speaker 3: The stature in the name of Jake Dickert obviously is growing.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I hope that Wake can find a way to keep him,
- 4:37Speaker 3: much like I hope that Duke can find a way
- 4:40Speaker 3: to keep Manny Diaz, but there's no doubt that two
- 4:41Speaker 3: of the hottest names in college football coaching.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Circles are going to be Jake Dickard and Manny Diaz.
- 4:47Speaker 4: 100%.
- 4:47Speaker 2: And I see a Duke fan, John in Mooresville, says
- 4:49Speaker 2: you're sleeping on Duke. They didn't play, right? They didn't
- 4:52Speaker 2: have a chance for Nate Shepard to go hog wild
- 4:54Speaker 2: like he would have if they did play. But I
- 4:56Speaker 2: said it earlier, Bone, and I'm not acting like, you know,
- 4:59Speaker 2: although Pitt lost Heinz Scholl, there's a lot of teams
- 5:02Speaker 2: that could still play a role in this ACC race.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Virginia Tech still, even with the loss. But I could
- 5:09Speaker 2: see a world where that Virginia, or not Virginia, that
- 5:12Speaker 2: Wake-Duke game at the end of the season, Bone, has
- 5:16Speaker 2: an ACC title game bid. I don't think that's crazy.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Those teams are both freaking legit. Things are opening up
- 5:22Speaker 2: for Duke right now. At Georgia Tech this weekend, Carolina
- 5:25Speaker 2: at home, at Virginia, they've got their own problems right now,
- 5:29Speaker 2: and then Boston College. Duke's got opportunity here to win
- 5:35Speaker 2: a bowl next four games. And it's at NC State,
- 5:38Speaker 2: who they played very well against lately. And then, of course,
- 5:41Speaker 2: it's Miami. But Duke's going to put up a lot
- 5:44Speaker 2: of wins here in the next month or so.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Look at Wake's schedule, too. They got this state game,
- 5:47Speaker 3: but they are favored. How's Georgia Tech going to stop
- 5:49Speaker 3: Nate Shepard the way they stopped the run? They ain't
- 5:50Speaker 3: going to. Spoiler alert, phone. Watch what Tennessee did to him.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Nate Shepard going to do something similar. Wake then plays Cal.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Then they play a Virginia team that's struggling with mobile quarterbacks.
- 6:02Speaker 3: energia lopez then they play uh mary mac not to
- 6:05Speaker 3: be confused with mary mac our former co-worker here oh
- 6:08Speaker 3: yeah they then play an smu team bone that i
- 6:11Speaker 3: have been thoroughly unimpressed with against Missouri State last week
- 6:15Speaker 3: in BC. I know they won those two games, but
- 6:17Speaker 3: I've been unimpressed. Then they play Georgia Tech, then it's Duke.
- 6:19Speaker 3: So I think there's a lot of wins for Duke
- 6:22Speaker 3: and Wake. I don't think it's a fluke thing, man.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Virginia falling back to earth makes those games now winnable
- 6:29Speaker 3: for Wake and Duke. I'm not saying Virginia can't bow up,
- 6:32Speaker 3: but the fact that they've come crash down to earth
- 6:34Speaker 3: like they did, all of a sudden that opens up
- 6:36Speaker 3: that spot for both those teams.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Dude, per Buehler, 14 of 32, four yards pass. Um, man. Um,
- 6:44Speaker 2: but anyway, I have to go to their backup quarterback
- 6:46Speaker 2: at some point. So anybody else happy here? Tennessee fan
- 6:49Speaker 2: says I'm happy. It was, it was ugly, but we'll
- 6:51Speaker 2: take the win. Um, yeah, well, it got prettier in
- 6:54Speaker 2: the second half, but y'all lose phase on early in
- 6:57Speaker 2: the C in the game, early in season, early in
- 6:59Speaker 2: the game. McIntyre has to come in. He only, they
- 7:00Speaker 2: only ask him to throw it 10 times because Bishop
- 7:03Speaker 2: went the heck off for two 20 on the ground
- 7:06Speaker 2: against Auburn. I get the feeling bone against Tennessee this year.
- 7:10Speaker 2: It often won't be pretty. That is very much a
- 7:12Speaker 2: defense and run game-based football team.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Yes.
- 7:16Speaker 2: But they might be good enough at those two things
- 7:18Speaker 2: to win. I don't know if I really believe playoff
- 7:21Speaker 2: for them. But I think there could be a fair
- 7:24Speaker 2: amount of wins in that fashion. So, yeah, go ahead
- 7:27Speaker 2: and be excited.
- 7:28Speaker 3: As far as the heels in Notre Dame goes back
- 7:30Speaker 3: this week, and heels certainly fought a lot better than
- 7:35Speaker 3: I thought they would.
- 7:35Speaker 2: They were in the game.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Hell, they were after the kickoff, after halftime, it looked
- 7:39Speaker 3: like they were going to push Notre Dame. But you
- 7:42Speaker 3: saw the major difference as it went along between the
- 7:46Speaker 3: way Notre Dame is built and where the heels are,
- 7:50Speaker 3: and that is just in the trench dominance. Both the
- 7:52Speaker 3: offensive line up front for Notre Dame when that rain
- 7:54Speaker 3: started to fall, they took the air out of the ball,
- 7:57Speaker 3: and they just physically pounded UNC with the run game
- 8:02Speaker 3: and then Triore, and that defense just, it was a
- 8:05Speaker 3: dominant performance in terms of maybe not the scoreboard that
- 8:08Speaker 3: we thought, but in line play, and maybe a lesson
- 8:12Speaker 3: to Bill Belichick of, how far away they are from
- 8:15Speaker 3: being a team like Notre Dame.
- 8:16Speaker 2: I thought, and listen, I actually thought losing by 11.
- 8:20Speaker 2: I know, Fitty, you were saying, do you fall under
- 8:24Speaker 2: the piss category today? Because I thought we could save
- 8:28Speaker 2: the piss category for... South Carolina fans, Clemson fans, and
- 8:32Speaker 2: Charlotte fans. Because I'm looking at some moments. Yeah, you
- 8:36Speaker 2: got run for 241. They ran for 241 on you.
- 8:39Speaker 2: And you ran for only 77. There's no doubt about it.
- 8:42Speaker 2: But that goal line stand at the end of the
- 8:44Speaker 2: first half, and then the drive, the ensuing drive that
- 8:48Speaker 2: Edwards put together there, I thought there was still some
- 8:51Speaker 2: fight and some good stuff in there. I I thought
- 8:54Speaker 2: it was going to be worse than it was, Fit,
- 8:56Speaker 2: for y'all. No, I'm not pissed, Mac.
- 8:58Speaker 5: I picked Carolina to lose and lose the game 34-14.
- 9:02Speaker 5: The way that I would describe this game is, let's
- 9:06Speaker 5: say you put that game back in 1990, meaning you're
- 9:09Speaker 5: watching the game without a score bug. You don't see
- 9:12Speaker 5: the score the entire time. You would not have thought
- 9:15Speaker 5: it was an 11-point game. That's how much better, and
- 9:17Speaker 5: rightfully so, Notre Dame is the third best team in
- 9:19Speaker 5: the country. I picked them to win the national championship.
- 9:22Speaker 5: I picked their quarterback. to win the Heisman Trophy. I
- 9:27Speaker 5: thought the drive that Edwards led after the fourth down stop,
- 9:32Speaker 5: that's the best drive he's led as Carolina's quarterback.
- 9:34Speaker 2: It was huge.
- 9:34Speaker 5: Because it got them back into the game, and they
- 9:36Speaker 5: managed the clock very well. It's just, we're not trying
- 9:41Speaker 5: to measure ourselves against a national title contender, but man,
- 9:45Speaker 5: how far away are we from being more competitive in
- 9:49Speaker 5: those types of games and those types of settings? Because
- 9:52Speaker 5: they're building towards 2027.
- 9:55Speaker 2: I would think you're.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Probably two years away from being able to go into
- 9:58Speaker 5: that game and expect to continue.
- 10:00Speaker 2: For 60 minutes. Yeah. I, I, yeah, I gotta be honest.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Like Clemson lost by 28 to Miami bone, the heels
- 10:06Speaker 2: lost by 11 to Notre Dame. Like I will say this, Finney,
- 10:10Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman, after the game said, we knew how hard
- 10:13Speaker 2: it was raining. We couldn't pass the ball. So two
- 10:15Speaker 2: straight drives, we ran it right at them. They knew
- 10:17Speaker 2: it was coming and we ran it on them and
- 10:18Speaker 2: they did. We just worn down so quickly. Here's the thing,
- 10:22Speaker 2: and Bone's right, they're sizing the trenches, although the Notre
- 10:24Speaker 2: Dame running game has been a big question this year,
- 10:26Speaker 2: so that was interesting. But why did North Carolina decide
- 10:29Speaker 2: to pass it five plays out of seven on those
- 10:31Speaker 2: two drives? Because we couldn't block them. In the pouring
- 10:34Speaker 2: down rain. like anyway let's move to the teams whose
- 10:37Speaker 2: fans i think really should be pissed off i'll ask
- 10:40Speaker 2: you the question bone because you might want to just
- 10:42Speaker 2: light up beamer do you who do you think fans
- 10:45Speaker 2: should be the most pissed off today after the weekend
- 10:47Speaker 2: south carolina clemson or charlotte south.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Carolina well charlotte i mean they're just that's if we
- 10:53Speaker 3: do this every single week they could be in that
- 10:55Speaker 3: category but right now i think it's got to be
- 10:58Speaker 3: south carolina blows another weed The end of the game.
- 11:02Speaker 3: I don't know if people saw this or not, or
- 11:04Speaker 3: maybe they watched it live and noticed. I noticed it
- 11:06Speaker 3: live and I saw a bunch of people tweeting about it.
- 11:09Speaker 3: So Kentucky's going for the win on the two point
- 11:12Speaker 3: conversion overtime. Never mind how it got to that point anyway,
- 11:16Speaker 3: about how they blew the lead. That's that's already gone
- 11:18Speaker 3: at this point. Kentucky's going for the win in overtime.
- 11:23Speaker 3: The South Carolina defensive players are standing around, pointing at
- 11:27Speaker 3: each other, trying to figure out what to do. Kentucky
- 11:30Speaker 3: snaps the ball. The tight end runs to the back
- 11:33Speaker 3: of the end zone, catches a two-point conversion. Game is over.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Shane Beamer is standing right there in view. In camera view,
- 11:40Speaker 3: the back of his head, there's one timeout. How in
- 11:43Speaker 3: God's name do you watch your players confused in that moment? Now, look,
- 11:49Speaker 3: maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe Kentucky scores anyway. But still,
- 11:52Speaker 3: in that moment, when your players are not even set,
- 11:55Speaker 3: they're pointing at each other, they don't know where to go.
- 11:58Speaker 3: How are you standing there with one timeout to go
- 12:01Speaker 3: with your job on the line? You don't call a timeout.
- 12:04Speaker 3: How's that possible? Never mind how they got to that point.
- 12:08Speaker 3: How do you stand there watching? Was your mind elsewhere?
- 12:11Speaker 3: Were you thinking, how are you going to explain this one?
- 12:13Speaker 3: Did you not know you had a timeout in overtime?
- 12:16Speaker 3: Were you not aware of the situation of football? How
- 12:19Speaker 3: does nobody call a timeout? How does no one realize, oh, yeah,
- 12:22Speaker 3: we're not set right now?
- 12:24Speaker 2: My God, it's maddening. Yeah, it's brutal. It's brutal.
- 12:26Speaker 3: And those are the things. A loss is one thing.
- 12:29Speaker 3: When it's mistakes like that, I want to rub my
- 12:33Speaker 3: eyes on it. I, um, down boy. Down boy. But
- 12:37Speaker 3: I don't blame you for being pissed. I feel bad
- 12:38Speaker 3: for the players because they fought their asses off. Sellers
- 12:41Speaker 3: is unbelievable. I know he dropped the ball.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:43Speaker 3: But he did his part. The coaching staff, they let
- 12:46Speaker 3: you down again. But as long as they practice well, though,
- 12:48Speaker 3: that's all that matters.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I thought it was a great game plan. Get out
- 12:51Speaker 2: of here. Yeah, well, the practice thing now, that looks
- 12:53Speaker 2: even more ridiculous. Well, apparently they didn't practice timeouts. When
- 12:56Speaker 2: you go out there and blow a 17-point lead, and
- 12:59Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. I said it earlier. Dabo and
- 13:01Speaker 2: Beamer don't help themselves. They say things that gaslight their
- 13:05Speaker 2: own fan bases. The fact that Shane Beamer thought that
- 13:08Speaker 2: was a good idea to tell everybody they had a
- 13:09Speaker 2: great practice on a Tuesday, that means anything. All you're
- 13:13Speaker 2: doing is setting yourself up for embarrassment. The blown lead thing,
- 13:17Speaker 2: seven times they've blown double-digit leads. three of their last
- 13:21Speaker 2: four sec losses hadn't won an sec game in like
- 13:24Speaker 2: a calendar year like or over a calendar year at
- 13:27Speaker 2: this point like all this stuff is embarrassing but here's
- 13:30Speaker 2: the thing i wonder bone and they did they use
- 13:32Speaker 2: sellers the right way they used him as a design
- 13:35Speaker 2: runner a bunch um i do think they got away
- 13:38Speaker 2: from the run a little bit there for a while
- 13:39Speaker 2: that was working so well early but here's the thing
- 13:42Speaker 2: though bone are you worried that they just can't afford
- 13:44Speaker 2: to fire shane beamer because that david cloninger report in
- 13:48Speaker 2: the post and courier said that Beamer's buyout is 24,
- 13:53Speaker 2: but the buyout the entire staff is 50 million, and
- 13:55Speaker 2: they don't have people willing to pony it up right now. Now,
- 13:58Speaker 2: do you think things get so bad that the rich
- 14:01Speaker 2: people in Columbia say, eh, I guess I'll do it?
- 14:05Speaker 2: Or are you afraid they get stuck with them because
- 14:07Speaker 2: no one wants to foot the bill to buy this
- 14:09Speaker 2: dude out?
- 14:11Speaker 3: It's also the combination of you're asking a lot of
- 14:14Speaker 3: the donors and the boosters to use money for the
- 14:17Speaker 3: buyout and the roster and the coaching staff.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And then you've got to pay a new coach that
- 14:20Speaker 2: comes in. Do you think, Bone, do you think they
- 14:23Speaker 2: would let him stay over money? Yeah. That's a scary thought, dude.
- 14:30Speaker 5: We saw with Norvell in Tallahassee. We saw with Fickle
- 14:34Speaker 5: in Wisconsin. Mac, it's a new era, man. And it's
- 14:39Speaker 5: why I think at some point you're going to start
- 14:41Speaker 5: seeing these coaching contracts. They're going to have to adjust
- 14:44Speaker 5: how much they're paying these coaches. With how much you
- 14:46Speaker 5: have to fund everything else. And that's including ref share.
- 14:51Speaker 5: Like that's the thing is that you have ref share
- 14:54Speaker 5: that funds half your roster. And then you have your
- 14:57Speaker 5: NIO and your BUSHA still funds the other half.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Which is why we need a cap. But even with
- 15:05Speaker 2: the cap, Fetty, it says it's like $ 45- 50 million, but
- 15:09Speaker 2: it includes that NIL. You know what I mean? It
- 15:11Speaker 2: includes that stuff.
- 15:13Speaker 5: This is why Saban got so much heat last week,
- 15:15Speaker 5: because they need to cap how much they're paying the coaches.
- 15:18Speaker 5: It's not just we need to cap what the players make.
- 15:21Speaker 5: And the coaches are more valuable. I understand that. But
- 15:24Speaker 5: this is where schools get in trouble because Matt, his
- 15:26Speaker 5: ass should be fired.
- 15:28Speaker 2: But here's the thing, though. The administrations are giving these deals.
- 15:32Speaker 5: I know.
- 15:32Speaker 2: So how about you not offer such gigantic buyouts? Now,
- 15:35Speaker 2: what they're afraid of is that the coaches will go
- 15:38Speaker 2: somewhere else where they get a better offer, right? But
- 15:41Speaker 2: like at some point, I have $ 11 in my wallet
- 15:43Speaker 2: right now. At some point, bone, you're doing it to yourself.
- 15:46Speaker 2: You are the one that chose to give all the
- 15:48Speaker 2: money to Stewart, all the money to sellers, all the
- 15:51Speaker 2: money to Harbor. You are the one that chose to
- 15:54Speaker 2: give Beamer this deal. So it's like, you're getting yourself
- 15:57Speaker 2: into this damn pickle. But like, I had kind of
- 15:59Speaker 2: thought all long bone that 24 million is not huge
- 16:02Speaker 2: in the buyout space compared to like Dabo and Norvell
- 16:05Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But like, I'd be a little
- 16:08Speaker 2: scared if I'm a South Carolina fan that they get
- 16:09Speaker 2: stuck for another year with this. Yeah, I mean, it's
- 16:13Speaker 2: definitely possible. I would think if it gets really bad,
- 16:15Speaker 2: like I expect it to next week at Florida and
- 16:17Speaker 2: the rest of the way, if it gets bad, I
- 16:19Speaker 2: would think those rich folks would change their mind. But
- 16:23Speaker 2: where are you? I don't know. Where are you, Hootie?
- 16:27Speaker 2: I don't want to be with you. Are you going
- 16:30Speaker 2: to sing that to Shane? I don't want to. I
- 16:32Speaker 2: no longer want to be with you. The Gamecocks make
- 16:34Speaker 2: me cry. It's Mac in the blowfish. Because with a
- 16:40Speaker 2: 17-point lead, we're screwed. Oh, I'm sorry. Are you done now, Hootie? No,
- 16:44Speaker 2: I was really having fun with that. I'm sorry.
- 16:46Speaker 3: Can I say something, Mac, that will maybe warm the
- 16:48Speaker 3: hearts of Tar Heel fans? I don't often do that.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I was absolutely— I haven't had the best betting year so far,
- 16:55Speaker 3: but college football-wise, on Friday night to Saturday, I was
- 16:58Speaker 3: absolutely on fire. Won 16 of 17 ballgames.
- 17:02Speaker 2: There you go, baby. Do you know which one I lost, Mac?
- 17:04Speaker 2: There you go. Gamecocks? No.
- 17:06Speaker 5: No?
- 17:07Speaker 2: No. I had a teaser on Notre Dame. I had
- 17:09Speaker 2: about minus 14.
- 17:10Speaker 3: UNC scores that late touchdown to cut it to 11.
- 17:15Speaker 3: And then Notre Dame, I'm thinking, how are they going
- 17:17Speaker 3: to get three points back for me? They run the
- 17:20Speaker 3: ball in on the touchdown by Walton. The meaning was touchdown.
- 17:24Speaker 3: And it gets called back because of the holding call.
- 17:27Speaker 3: So of all those games, the only one I lost
- 17:31Speaker 3: was because... Of the damn Tar Heels.
- 17:33Speaker 2: I love it. Does that make you feel good, Fetty?
- 17:34Speaker 2: You didn't win the game, but you at least beat Bone.
- 17:36Speaker 2: That one parlay got wrecked because of that one. There
- 17:38Speaker 2: you go, Fetty. That's something. You want to say you're
- 17:40Speaker 2: sorry to be, Fetty, for what your team did to me?
- 17:42Speaker 2: I am sorry because, Mac, usually when Bone wins bets,
- 17:45Speaker 2: we get fed.
- 17:50Speaker 3: I won money, but not that way. That's the only
- 17:53Speaker 3: one the whole day, the whole weekend for college pros
- 17:55Speaker 3: wasn't so much.
- 17:56Speaker 2: I'll say this. If Notre Dame is going to run
- 17:57Speaker 2: the ball like that, cause that's been the weakness for
- 17:59Speaker 2: him to go with CJ car and phase on look ridiculous.
- 18:02Speaker 2: And their defense is elite. They dangerous, man. If they
- 18:05Speaker 2: can get that running game going, by the way, before
- 18:08Speaker 2: we get out of here, we're going to have to
- 18:09Speaker 2: play Boney the belt, the latest absurd Belichick performance in
- 18:15Speaker 2: an end game interview. These things are so funny. So funny. Anyway,
- 18:21Speaker 2: that's got to happen before we get out of here.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Always well thought out answers from the hoodie. Heartfelt, man.
- 18:25Speaker 2: You know, like he's really trying to give a good interview.
- 18:28Speaker 3: Speaking of good interviews, Jim Zoki, the Panthers radio network,
- 18:31Speaker 3: kind enough after a late night to still join us
- 18:34Speaker 3: for his Monday segment, albeit later. Zoki gives us the thoughts, Mac,
- 18:39Speaker 3: on the performance by Bryce, the atmosphere, and what does
- 18:42Speaker 3: this do for vibes going forward on sportsradio.com.
- 18:45Speaker 2: 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. A lot of people asking,
- 19:20Speaker 2: are we getting a Detroit montage of misery tomorrow? First
- 19:24Speaker 2: of all, I'm sure KB with Smoke, I'm sure Smoke's
- 19:26Speaker 2: already cooking on Detroit misery for their loser radio today.
- 19:30Speaker 2: But yeah, the hope is, and I don't know, I
- 19:33Speaker 2: feel like I feel like this should be a pretty
- 19:35Speaker 2: miserable city after what Bryce did to him last night,
- 19:38Speaker 2: how bad their defense has been, Boney. I feel like
- 19:41Speaker 2: we can get a good bit of misery out of
- 19:45Speaker 2: Detroit Sports Talk Radio today. But we will peruse. But
- 19:50Speaker 2: I think we can deliver. You know what I mean?
- 19:52Speaker 2: This isn't some mild-mannered city. I feel like they're going
- 19:55Speaker 2: to be agitated. Yeah, also, hopefully Detroit gives us something.
- 20:00Speaker 2: But next week, Mac, or not next week, but the
- 20:03Speaker 2: next time the Panthers play a game, I'm going to
- 20:06Speaker 2: go ahead and guess the Eagles fans will be agitated.
- 20:10Speaker 2: They go to London this week, by the way.
- 20:12Speaker 3: The Panthers get Philadelphia after a London trip where they're
- 20:16Speaker 3: playing Jacksonville next Sunday.
- 20:17Speaker 2: That's good timing.
- 20:18Speaker 3: That's an underrated Jacksonville team that probably doesn't get enough
- 20:22Speaker 3: credit for being one of the better teams in the league.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni might not even make it to the Panther
- 20:27Speaker 3: game at this point, the way things are going.
- 20:28Speaker 2: You think he'll get fired or you think he'll get
- 20:30Speaker 2: murdered by an Angry Eagle fan? What were you alluding
- 20:33Speaker 2: to there? He might go missing in London. They were
- 20:36Speaker 2: hot yesterday on the local TV news, man. The man
- 20:39Speaker 2: on the street, they were hot at Sirianni. They also
- 20:42Speaker 2: were drunk as all get out, too, on those clips
- 20:44Speaker 2: as well. All right, let's do it, baby. Let's bring
- 20:48Speaker 2: on a man we can trust not to be drinking
- 20:50Speaker 2: during the game. That would kind of be frowned upon
- 20:52Speaker 2: by the Panthers Radio Network folks. He is Jim Zoki.
- 20:55Speaker 2: It's time for a view from the booth. on this
- 20:58Speaker 2: Panther Monday. Zoke, what's going on, man? How you feeling?
- 21:02Speaker 6: Hey, boys. No, just a cup of coffee is what
- 21:04Speaker 6: I'm on right now. I love the fact I'm joining
- 21:07Speaker 6: you in the 9 o'clock instead of the 7 o'clock
- 21:09Speaker 6: hour because you've covered so much ground. You're on to
- 21:11Speaker 6: Philadelphia two weeks from now. We're already over the line.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Zokey, something always happens where you never come in for
- 21:19Speaker 3: that many of these moments, do you? Usually it's you're
- 21:21Speaker 3: in here for the down times more than the good times.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Yeah, 8-9 last year felt like 12-5, so yeah, definitely
- 21:29Speaker 6: it's an improvement each year.
- 21:30Speaker 2: It did, and 2-2 feels, I don't know, at least
- 21:33Speaker 2: like 3-1, although I realize we could be 3-1 if
- 21:36Speaker 2: we finished the Browns game. What impressed you the most?
- 21:39Speaker 2: There's a lot to choose from, Zoke. In a game
- 21:41Speaker 2: where so many key players at key positions were out,
- 21:46Speaker 2: what really impressed you the most about that Panther performance?
- 21:50Speaker 6: Yeah, and you've got to give credit for the amount of–
- 21:53Speaker 6: they had to replace during the game on top of
- 21:56Speaker 6: before the game as far as just the guys that
- 21:58Speaker 6: pulled it together. Yeah, it wasn't perfect, and I'm sure
- 22:00Speaker 6: we'll talk about what happened in the secondary. Defensively, those
- 22:04Speaker 6: were not great moments as far as keeping up with
- 22:06Speaker 6: that Detroit offense. But it's got to begin right with
- 22:08Speaker 6: a historic performance by T-Mac, second most catches, second most
- 22:12Speaker 6: receiving yards in the game, and just the way Bryce
- 22:15Speaker 6: was able to feed him and feed him, and of
- 22:16Speaker 6: course Bryce– getting chance of MVP. So it only happens
- 22:20Speaker 6: with Bryce playing the way that he did. But the
- 22:22Speaker 6: ball had to come out quick, obviously, with the injuries
- 22:25Speaker 6: on the offensive line, and they were able to do that.
- 22:27Speaker 6: And when Bryce had to stand in the pocket and
- 22:29Speaker 6: take a hit while delivering some of those throws, he
- 22:31Speaker 6: does that for 329 yards. But seeing that happen opened
- 22:35Speaker 6: up the best running game of the year with Chuba
- 22:37Speaker 6: Hubbard out there doing almost all of it, 122 yards
- 22:40Speaker 6: and the two touchdowns there. So We talked all week, right,
- 22:43Speaker 6: that we thought against Detroit, it's going to be who
- 22:45Speaker 6: can outscore the other team. This is not going to
- 22:47Speaker 6: be a low-scoring defensive game, and they were up to
- 22:49Speaker 6: that challenge last night.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Zokster, how good of a coaching job was that last
- 22:54Speaker 3: night to limit Gibbs to 77 yards of total offense?
- 22:58Speaker 3: And also, Hutchinson didn't completely wreck shop either, so the
- 23:02Speaker 3: two game wreckers really were held in check for the
- 23:05Speaker 3: most part last night. How good of a coaching job
- 23:07Speaker 3: was that?
- 23:09Speaker 6: It was great. And again, credit because Hutchinson was getting
- 23:13Speaker 6: in the backfield and Bryce was being elusive.
- 23:15Speaker 4: And then sometimes he was blocked up.
- 23:16Speaker 6: But of course, you lose Monroe Creeling during the course
- 23:19Speaker 6: of the game. So that doesn't help with that. But,
- 23:21Speaker 6: you know, that that's the main guy. They were second
- 23:24Speaker 6: in the league in quarterback sacks heading into the game.
- 23:27Speaker 6: And then Jameer Gibbs, I think we all agree, is
- 23:29Speaker 6: not the best running back, second or third, no further
- 23:32Speaker 6: down the list. with, I would say, him and McCaffrey.
- 23:35Speaker 6: They did a really good job against B. John Robinson,
- 23:37Speaker 6: as we said, but Cooper Rush was the quarterback that day,
- 23:40Speaker 6: so you could kind of really focus on him. You
- 23:42Speaker 6: had to deal with trying to limit Gibbs while Jared
- 23:44Speaker 6: Goff's throwing for 400 yards, and they did. They kept
- 23:47Speaker 6: him in check in the run game throughout the entire evening.
- 23:50Speaker 6: So that was good to see because that kept the
- 23:52Speaker 6: game in check, actually kept Detroit below their average. They
- 23:55Speaker 6: scored 31 points the first three games. keep them in check,
- 23:58Speaker 6: and I thought really key was holding them to field
- 24:00Speaker 6: goals when they were getting down in the range and
- 24:02Speaker 6: so forth, not giving those touchdowns up and keeping it
- 24:04Speaker 6: to 26.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Huge. Four field goals they made him kick, not to
- 24:08Speaker 2: mention the two times in the last three drives they
- 24:10Speaker 2: stopped him on fourth down, including, Zoke, the hook and
- 24:14Speaker 2: ladder that they stopped. when apparently the coaching staff told
- 24:17Speaker 2: them before the play, be ready for the hook and ladder.
- 24:20Speaker 2: They were, and they got the stop. And then Princely,
- 24:23Speaker 2: the Princely sack was mammoth on that last drive, Zoke.
- 24:29Speaker 2: I mean, he very well, I know that the pass,
- 24:32Speaker 2: the fourth down pass, it was Lee and Ransom that
- 24:35Speaker 2: made the final stop. That Princely sack, that was one
- 24:39Speaker 2: of the biggest plays of the.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Game, too. Yeah, because you set them back in the
- 24:43Speaker 6: down and distance. They don't have any timeouts left, and
- 24:46Speaker 6: they begin that drive at the 11-yard line. So you
- 24:49Speaker 6: really made it next to impossible for them to be
- 24:51Speaker 6: able to continue that drive, which they did. The one
- 24:53Speaker 6: and only sack, but they were getting pressure throughout the game.
- 24:56Speaker 6: I mean, only the one sack, but there was constant pressure,
- 24:59Speaker 6: keeping Jared Goff throwing it away, throwing it in the dirt.
- 25:03Speaker 6: He's not going to ever run out of the pocket,
- 25:05Speaker 6: but he is good at extending plays back there. So
- 25:07Speaker 6: to get that sack in that moment was huge for
- 25:09Speaker 6: Prince Lee. Of course, Jalen Phillips gets left like a
- 25:12Speaker 6: series or two before, so he really had to come
- 25:14Speaker 6: down to Princeley or someone like that making the play.
- 25:16Speaker 3: Zoke, how does Devin Lloyd just fundamentally change the entire
- 25:19Speaker 3: outlook of this defense?
- 25:20Speaker 6: Yeah, we kept talking all week about we're down our
- 25:22Speaker 6: corners and all this and that. That's huge. But adding
- 25:25Speaker 6: back in not only Devin Lloyd, but I thought Nick
- 25:28Speaker 6: Scott played a good game too. But in particular, to
- 25:30Speaker 6: your point, Devin Lloyd coming in there, getting that big
- 25:33Speaker 6: tackle for loss, having– I call him the leading tackler.
- 25:36Speaker 6: He had nine because Caleb Evans had 11, but it's
- 25:38Speaker 6: because he was catching guys that caught the ball.
- 25:42Speaker 2: So true.
- 25:44Speaker 6: You're bound to have 11 tackles. But Devin Lloyd is
- 25:48Speaker 6: such a game changer out there. And you just saw
- 25:50Speaker 6: me either bugging at the line and not coming or blitzing.
- 25:53Speaker 6: I would say Detroit did a good offensive line. They
- 25:55Speaker 6: did a good job of picking up a lot of
- 25:56Speaker 6: the blitzes that were coming there, especially coming up the
- 25:59Speaker 6: middle width. but Devin Lloyd is the guy that makes
- 26:02Speaker 6: the whole thing go right now. And I thought Derek
- 26:04Speaker 6: Brown had his best game. He had a couple of bad.
- 26:07Speaker 6: He was disruptive up to watch. I think Bobby Brown
- 26:09Speaker 6: also had a tip fast. So they were getting hands
- 26:12Speaker 6: up and getting in the face of Jared golf quite
- 26:14Speaker 6: a bit.
- 26:15Speaker 3: So I heard a rumor last night that when you
- 26:16Speaker 3: were getting ready for the game, Chris Collins chair slid
- 26:19Speaker 3: right in front of you.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Is that true?
- 26:21Speaker 6: Yeah. It came like down the hallway and around the corner.
- 26:25Speaker 6: Cause we're not in the same booth as them, but yeah,
- 26:28Speaker 6: We did a real quick at an event with Mike
- 26:30Speaker 6: Tirico Friday night for the target breakfast folks. And I'd
- 26:33Speaker 6: met Mike and talked with him before, but to spend
- 26:36Speaker 6: that amount of time with Bo and Beth, the three
- 26:38Speaker 6: of us do an event with them. You know, Tirico
- 26:39Speaker 6: is terrific. I don't know anybody who doesn't enjoy watching
- 26:43Speaker 6: what Tirico does. And I know a lot of people,
- 26:46Speaker 6: I saw a lot of Twitter stuff, like very polarizing
- 26:48Speaker 6: with Chris Collinsworth. I don't know him that well, but
- 26:50Speaker 6: I think he does a good job. I, everyone's got
- 26:52Speaker 6: their own taste and their own opinion, but I think
- 26:54Speaker 6: Collinsworth is good. I've enjoyed it. I mean, I think
- 26:56Speaker 6: he's been doing that. He retired from football, like, in 1999.
- 26:59Speaker 6: He's been doing this for, like, 30-plus years. So it's
- 27:02Speaker 6: been terrific.
- 27:03Speaker 3: I've always been a Collinsworth fan. It's like 92 or
- 27:05Speaker 3: so he started on NBC, like, doing Notre Dame games.
- 27:08Speaker 3: 30-plus years.
- 27:09Speaker 6: He's 89 his career already. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I've always been a Collinsworth fan when a lot of
- 27:13Speaker 2: people hate on him. I will say, Zoke, last night
- 27:17Speaker 2: he really seemed to be trying to will the Lions
- 27:19Speaker 2: back in the game. Now, I don't think it's anything
- 27:21Speaker 2: personal against the Panthers.
- 27:22Speaker 6: I hear it.
- 27:23Speaker 2: But it really felt like he wanted the dramatic end.
- 27:25Speaker 2: He was so upset when the Lions drive fizzled out
- 27:29Speaker 2: at the end. He said, that's a disgusting drive. So
- 27:31Speaker 2: it felt like, but I just think he wanted a
- 27:33Speaker 2: great finish and he saw the potential for it, you know,
- 27:36Speaker 2: with the Panthers secondary.
- 27:37Speaker 6: Forget what I said, Collinsworth sucks.
- 27:40Speaker 2: I've got the dub anyway, man. It's all good. So
- 27:43Speaker 2: Bryce and TMAC together, man. I mean, the fact that
- 27:47Speaker 2: it comes with Coker and XL out, All these offensive
- 27:51Speaker 2: linemen out the week after TMAC is held only two catches. Like,
- 27:56Speaker 2: what did you think about those two dudes just going off?
- 28:00Speaker 2: And I love the fact that Canales let us in
- 28:02Speaker 2: on something after the game said that they had a
- 28:05Speaker 2: rough week of practice as a tandem. They were not
- 28:07Speaker 2: on the same page throughout the week. I guess it
- 28:10Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Maybe practice doesn't matter. What do you think, Zoke?
- 28:14Speaker 6: Sometimes you play your best golf when you can't hit
- 28:16Speaker 6: it on the driving range. I'd rather not be happy Wednesday, Thursday,
- 28:20Speaker 6: and pull it together Sunday. But they're too talented not
- 28:22Speaker 6: to figure it out on Sunday. And you do have
- 28:24Speaker 6: to talk matchups, right? Denzel Ward, I go back to Cleveland,
- 28:27Speaker 6: seeing that defensive person, he's great. Cleveland's a much better
- 28:31Speaker 6: defense than what Detroit has, so we have to factor
- 28:33Speaker 6: that in. And again, they're minus their two safeties, just
- 28:36Speaker 6: like we're out of our corners, and it shows for them.
- 28:39Speaker 6: But beyond that, you're playing an NFL team that's got
- 28:42Speaker 6: a very good chance of making the playoffs again this year.
- 28:45Speaker 6: And Detroit, again, while they're not, you know, they got
- 28:48Speaker 6: a tough up front. I mean, so you're dealing with
- 28:49Speaker 6: a lot of pressure that not only are you dealing
- 28:51Speaker 6: with the secondary, but the ball has to come out quickly.
- 28:53Speaker 6: And Price was just dealing. I mean, the ball was
- 28:56Speaker 6: coming out of his hands so quickly. You know, watching
- 28:59Speaker 6: it on TV is one thing. When you see it
- 29:01Speaker 6: in person, I mean, it's like zip, zip, and it's
- 29:04Speaker 6: accurate and it's decisive. And when it's not there, when
- 29:07Speaker 6: he goes to the second play and creates something out
- 29:09Speaker 6: of that. But he and T-Mac, I mean, they just
- 29:11Speaker 6: kept feeding him and feeding him. He had 12 catches
- 29:13Speaker 6: coming into the game, T-Mac. He had 14 last night.
- 29:16Speaker 6: And they never came up with an answer in four
- 29:18Speaker 6: quarters as to how to stop that. So small secondary.
- 29:22Speaker 6: So big receivers like T-Mac could have a little bit
- 29:24Speaker 6: of an advantage. But he's playing at a great level.
- 29:26Speaker 6: You saw the kind of catches he was making there.
- 29:29Speaker 6: the relative ease of which he makes it look, which
- 29:31Speaker 6: only comes through the hard work that goes into making
- 29:33Speaker 6: it look easy. But Bryce, we talked about going into
- 29:36Speaker 6: his fourth year as we said, he's incrementally gotten better
- 29:39Speaker 6: each year. This is like a big old leap this
- 29:42Speaker 6: year in year four. It's not an incremental jump. I mean,
- 29:45Speaker 6: he looks like a guy that's, again, not just because
- 29:48Speaker 6: of what the stats are, but the way you watch
- 29:50Speaker 6: him play and the way he's moving that offense, doing
- 29:53Speaker 6: it in situational football is really at the top of
- 29:57Speaker 6: the league right now.
- 29:58Speaker 2: All right, Zoke. I'm out of questions. I'm worn out
- 30:02Speaker 2: right now.
- 30:02Speaker 6: Are we on Philadelphia again?
- 30:05Speaker 2: Zoke, enjoy your bye week, baby. Enjoy your bye week.
- 30:08Speaker 2: No Eagles questions right now. You're off the stand, Zoke,
- 30:11Speaker 2: this week. We'll deal with that. You got a bye
- 30:13Speaker 2: week trip to any exotic locations? Although you probably got
- 30:16Speaker 2: an ECU game. What do you got going on?
- 30:19Speaker 6: I'm going on vacation to Greenville. We got Rice coming
- 30:21Speaker 6: in this week at Conference Play. I got Saturday work,
- 30:24Speaker 6: but I'm off Sunday, so I can't watch football Sunday.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Zoke, will you work in if ECU wins? Will you
- 30:30Speaker 2: work in a cook rice pun, or are you above that?
- 30:36Speaker 4: No, because I was so happy after the game last night,
- 30:39Speaker 4: I did an in-like-a-lion-out-like-a-lamb tweet because they lost to a Panther,
- 30:43Speaker 4: which sounded like a nursery rhyme from like the third grade,
- 30:46Speaker 4: so I'm not above a cook rice pun.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Okay, okay. Work that in, baby. Work that in. All right, Zoke,
- 30:50Speaker 2: thank you for joining us, brother. Appreciate you.
- 30:53Speaker 6: Enjoy your Victory Monday.
- 30:54Speaker 2: All right. We are. We will. There we go. It's
- 30:56Speaker 2: about dancing time, baby. I'm spent, man. We've exhausted ourselves
- 31:00Speaker 2: today of joy. You think Zoke wants to come in
- 31:01Speaker 2: and get shirtless and dance? Why does he got to
- 31:04Speaker 2: be shirtless? I don't know. You got to invite people.
- 31:06Speaker 2: That's how Fetty does it. You got to.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Invite people in with clothes on. Then we ask him
- 31:09Speaker 3: to go dance. Then we ask him to disrobe. You
- 31:11Speaker 3: can't say come in without clothes on. You got to
- 31:12Speaker 3: get into that.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Interesting. You speak from experience on that. Yes. Fetty Dog,
- 31:18Speaker 2: take it away. I love this uncomfortable silence before Finn
- 31:26Speaker 2: accuses music up. The anticipation. All right, guys.
- 31:35Speaker 5: This update brought to you by the H & S
- 31:37Speaker 5: Roofing and Gutter Company. Do not wait for a small
- 31:41Speaker 5: problem to become a big one. If you see an
- 31:43Speaker 5: issue with your roof or your gutters... Give them a call.
- 31:46Speaker 2: They'll give you a free estimate.
- 31:48Speaker 4: 704-334-9934.
- 31:48Speaker 6: 704-334-9934.
- 31:55Speaker 2: 704-334-9934.
- 31:58Speaker 5: Mac, the Chiefs could be making a call to Tyreek
- 32:03Speaker 5: Hill to address some concerns at their wide receiver position.
- 32:06Speaker 5: Did you see where Tyquan Thornton had a big pass play,
- 32:11Speaker 5: and he stands up to go celebrate, and then he
- 32:14Speaker 5: realizes that his ankle is... pointing a way that the
- 32:18Speaker 5: ankle was not supposed to point.
- 32:20Speaker 2: That was brutal.
- 32:21Speaker 5: So we could have a reunion in Kansas city. One
- 32:23Speaker 5: of the four and our teams remaining in the NFL.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:27Speaker 2: They could be adding Tyree kill back to the roster.
- 32:29Speaker 2: And my homes is, I'm not saying 50. He's playing
- 32:32Speaker 2: like at his peak level. They're running the ball a lot.
- 32:35Speaker 2: They're doing it differently. The chiefs are a factor again
- 32:39Speaker 2: in the playoffs, man. Like all the chiefs haters that
- 32:41Speaker 2: enjoyed last year, but You're going to be annoyed as
- 32:44Speaker 2: hell in January again this year, I have a feeling.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Although that Thornton injury yesterday was nasty. The ankle going sideways.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it was. I don't know if you were watching.
- 32:52Speaker 2: I was watching live when that happened. Yeah.
- 32:54Speaker 3: I was thinking to myself, the ankle's not supposed to
- 32:57Speaker 3: point that direction.
- 32:57Speaker 2: No doubt about it. But if they had Tyreek Hill
- 33:00Speaker 2: off this and he could give them, you know, any
- 33:04Speaker 2: bit of what he gave in the past. Tyreek Hill
- 33:06Speaker 2: and Kenneth Walker. Yeah, you're right. If Tyreek Hill's speed
- 33:09Speaker 2: is anywhere near what it was with Kenneth Walker, Uh, yeah.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Good night.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Good luck trying to stop that. We come back to
- 33:14Speaker 3: wrap up sports radio, 92, seven.
- 33:36Speaker 2: How do you get a stop? Well, it's third down,
- 33:39Speaker 2: you know. They're one for two on third down, so
- 33:41Speaker 2: we'll see how it goes here. Thank you, Coach. Wes?
- 33:45Speaker 2: Second quarter, it's third down and seven.
- 33:48Speaker 6: They're still giving a lot of cushion outside on this
- 33:50Speaker 6: third down.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Showing pressure here. Carr looking right.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Now takes the deep shot wide open, and is it caught?
- 34:00Speaker 2: Touchdown, Jordan Faison. The timing of that touchdown right after Belichick.
- 34:08Speaker 2: And we'll see what happens here on this third down.
- 34:09Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Oh, yeah, you just gave up
- 34:11Speaker 2: a touchdown to a wide-open receiver. Your coverage was so bad,
- 34:15Speaker 2: I thought it was the Gamecocks, Belichick. That's how bad
- 34:18Speaker 2: it was. Hey, hey, hey. Sorry about that. It wasn't
- 34:21Speaker 2: about them for this one, right? The amount of coverage
- 34:23Speaker 2: busts and guys wide open in the secondary the last
- 34:27Speaker 2: two weeks has been absolutely atrocious. I know I don't
- 34:30Speaker 2: need to tell you. You think so? You've seen it.
- 34:31Speaker 2: This wasn't even about the Gamecocks. This was about the UNC.
- 34:33Speaker 2: It was about Belichick right here. Belichick. We know those
- 34:36Speaker 2: Gamecocks suck. What are we talking about here?
- 34:38Speaker 3: My favorite Belichick one was when Taylor McGregor in that
- 34:41Speaker 3: same time period said, and again, it's not really a
- 34:45Speaker 3: question that you have the full answer for, but she said,
- 34:47Speaker 3: how do you take care of the ball better? He said, well,
- 34:49Speaker 3: we got to take better care of the ball. All
- 34:54Speaker 3: he did was he just back as a way to
- 34:56Speaker 3: repeat the question. We have to take care of the
- 34:58Speaker 3: ball better.
- 34:59Speaker 2: You talk about, has anybody been in a, you know,
- 35:02Speaker 2: wanted less to do with the conversation than Belichick during
- 35:05Speaker 2: the end game interviews? I mean, Popovich was pretty bad too.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Popovich would kind of be more of a jerk. Belichick
- 35:12Speaker 2: is just stonewalls you with like bone saying, just non
- 35:14Speaker 2: answers to questions. But could you imagine Jordan, When she
- 35:20Speaker 2: tells him at the house she wants to talk about
- 35:21Speaker 2: her feelings, could you imagine when he gets in that
- 35:24Speaker 2: discussion the non-answers that he may provide?
- 35:28Speaker 3: I don't know about your feelings. I'm on to a
- 35:32Speaker 3: pit right now. Bill, do you want me to make
- 35:36Speaker 3: you some banana bread? I don't really want banana or bread.
- 35:39Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with your feelings moving forward. I'm
- 35:41Speaker 2: just not sure. I'm not sure I know of. He's
- 35:46Speaker 2: got to be the worst person to have to communicate
- 35:48Speaker 2: with in a personal relationship.
- 35:50Speaker 3: What do you think a happy birthday call is like
- 35:52Speaker 3: from old Papa Belichick? I just want to say happy birthday.
- 35:57Speaker 3: I think he sings it, Bone. He sings it.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
- 36:03Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 36:03Speaker 2: You're the old, were you born in a zoo type thing. Oh, man.
- 36:12Speaker 2: And you were born in 2022. That's how it ends
- 36:15Speaker 2: when he sings to Jordan. All right. Anyway, let's refocus here,
- 36:20Speaker 2: shall we? I think it's time to refocus. Keep it
- 36:23Speaker 2: here all day long, baby. Colin Hoggard all the way
- 36:26Speaker 2: through Wesson Walker, Kyle Bailey. It's going to be Panther
- 36:30Speaker 2: celebration as the boys get a huge win in daunting
- 36:35Speaker 2: circumstances with all the injuries. We'll see moving forward, Bone,
- 36:39Speaker 2: about Phillips and the hamstring injury, about Freeling and the
- 36:41Speaker 2: knee injury. But I know this. I have never seen
- 36:44Speaker 2: a team that needed a week five bye like this team.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Thank the hell for the week five bye. We'll see
- 36:52Speaker 2: who we can get back. I'd expect Coker by then.
- 36:54Speaker 2: We'll see who else they can get back. And at
- 36:56Speaker 2: some point, Bone, we need an update on Moten and Icky.
- 37:00Speaker 2: I understand. These are not, you know what I mean? Well,
- 37:03Speaker 2: now with free league especially, right? From boating, you've got
- 37:05Speaker 2: a blood clot in the lungs. Like, that's nothing to
- 37:06Speaker 2: trifle with. And I understand the icky things. But at
- 37:10Speaker 2: some point, I'd just like to get a ballpark estimate
- 37:13Speaker 2: on these fellas. You know?
- 37:15Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 37:16Speaker 3: I mean, I guess post-bye week we will, right?
- 37:18Speaker 2: Because they're out for the first four games.
- 37:20Speaker 3: I mean, the question should— They have to open up
- 37:22Speaker 3: the window for them, right?
- 37:23Speaker 2: At some point, that's how— Yeah, the questions, you know,
- 37:26Speaker 2: would be good. Universal window, by the way. They opened
- 37:28Speaker 2: up that big old window. Of course, it's a universal window.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Buy two, get two as well. But yeah, now would
- 37:33Speaker 2: be a good time to be asking those questions, but
- 37:35Speaker 2: I'm not sure we're going to get answers yet.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question, Mac, about a television commercial?
- 37:40Speaker 2: What's that? The Bud Light Peyton Manning commercial. Oh, I
- 37:44Speaker 2: thought you were going Megan Fox.
- 37:46Speaker 3: No.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I was going to say, enjoy it. Oh, anyway, go ahead.
- 37:49Speaker 3: The Peyton Manning commercial with Shane Gillis when he leans
- 37:52Speaker 3: over the bar. Why does that make me laugh so much? Oh,
- 37:55Speaker 3: it's so good. I don't know what it is. I
- 37:56Speaker 3: don't know if it's because it's Peyton Manning or what.
- 37:58Speaker 3: I just I can't stop laughing. And I saw it.
- 38:00Speaker 3: I said, I bet my man Mac loves that ad.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Because how many times, y'all, when you're out at a bar,
- 38:05Speaker 2: can you not get the attention of the bartender? And
- 38:07Speaker 2: do you wish you use that trick right there? Seriously.
- 38:10Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, you know how much time
- 38:12Speaker 2: I wasted waiting for drinks when I could have gotten
- 38:14Speaker 2: somebody to hold my feet and hung all the way out?
- 38:16Speaker 2: And it's always amazed me.
- 38:17Speaker 3: If you're an attractive female, you don't wait that long.
- 38:24Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of commercials, last night we're watching
- 38:28Speaker 2: a game. It's me, Mrs. Mack, and Mack Jr. And
- 38:31Speaker 2: the Sidney Sweeney sports ad comes on. And I said, hey,
- 38:36Speaker 2: there's Sidney Sweeney. You like this? Commercially gets a big
- 38:38Speaker 2: smile on his face.
- 38:39Speaker 6: Mrs.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Mack not happy with it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- 38:43Speaker 2: No clothes on the top. Oh, my God. No clothes
- 38:45Speaker 2: on the bottom. Mrs. Mack was not enjoying the Sidney
- 38:49Speaker 2: Sweeney ad.
- 38:49Speaker 1: What?
- 38:51Speaker 2: By the way, today's Mrs. Mac's, is it her birthday today? Oh, yes.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Happy birthday to the lovely Mrs.
- 38:56Speaker 6: Mac.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Saw it on Facebook there. The lovely and patient Mrs. Mac.
- 38:59Speaker 2: God bless her. Thank you for staying with me way
- 39:02Speaker 2: too long. You wined and dined her on Saturday, huh?
- 39:04Speaker 2: Saturday night, a little dinner, a little dinner. You were
- 39:06Speaker 2: missing games on Saturday night, right? Let's read some of
- 39:09Speaker 2: these texts, y'all, shall we? Weatherman Mark and Bone are
- 39:14Speaker 2: in some sort of back and forth for the 48th
- 39:17Speaker 2: straight show. Who? Weatherman Mark says, Bone, you're an amazing,
- 39:21Speaker 2: funny guy.
- 39:21Speaker 6: Oh.
- 39:22Speaker 2: You don't vent about your team when they do bad, Bone.
- 39:25Speaker 2: You're the man. You're evidently perfect, man. I got to
- 39:28Speaker 2: give it to you. You're the best around.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Weatherman Mark is in that category when he completely loses
- 39:33Speaker 3: his marbles.
- 39:35Speaker 2: And then he comes. There's text line Mark.
- 39:38Speaker 3: During the games. And then there's post text line Mark,
- 39:41Speaker 3: which is two different ones. Oh, he was so negative
- 39:42Speaker 3: before the game last night. Into our pregame. So negative.
- 39:46Speaker 2: He's giddy today, though, baby. He has some. He is
- 39:49Speaker 2: like a schizophrenic fan. You know what I mean? Multiple
- 39:53Speaker 2: fan personalities trapped inside that body. 704 number. Hey, Bone,
- 39:59Speaker 2: can you have Bryce and T-Mac pass along the message
- 40:02Speaker 2: to Shane Beamer? Rough practices and great games are a
- 40:06Speaker 2: better way to do it as opposed to great practice
- 40:09Speaker 2: and sucky games. I've told Gamecock fans, my sources say
- 40:15Speaker 2: they plan on having great practices all week, though.
- 40:17Speaker 3: So there's good news for you. Beamer's the opposite of
- 40:20Speaker 3: Allen Iverson. We're talking about practice, man. We're talking about practice, man.
- 40:25Speaker 3: He had a great practice, man. If he says one
- 40:27Speaker 3: thing about practice this week, I'm going to Columbia. gonna
- 40:32Speaker 3: say don't do that anymore.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Uh texter says i'm thinking beamer wants to get fired
- 40:37Speaker 2: give me my 24 mil and i'll go to the
- 40:39Speaker 2: house yeah beamer read the article that said he's safe
- 40:42Speaker 2: and said damn i wanted that free money uh let's
- 40:46Speaker 2: see uh someone says late night willie is a dangerous
- 40:49Speaker 2: name for a segment That's what I call Willie's postgame
- 40:52Speaker 2: show last night. Is Willie P in the late night?
- 40:54Speaker 3: Does he change his voice up and say, we're now
- 40:57Speaker 3: going to go to Weatherman Mark on the Panthers text line?
- 41:00Speaker 2: I'm told he did an opening monologue like he's Jay
- 41:02Speaker 2: Leno last night, Bone, actually. This texter says, Bone's only
- 41:07Speaker 2: bet loss was because of UNC. Bone should be used
- 41:10Speaker 2: to losing to UNC by now. How about both whips
- 41:13Speaker 2: my backside? Have a meeting. Oh, my gosh. Panther Steve
- 41:18Speaker 2: not happy with Barron. And his song, the official crooner
- 41:21Speaker 2: of the Mac and Bone show. He says, I hope
- 41:23Speaker 2: he keeps his day job. That song was atrocious. Steve,
- 41:26Speaker 2: you got the open invite, my man. You call in
- 41:29Speaker 2: and sing. Come on, Stevie Weeby. Give us a little song, baby.
- 41:31Speaker 2: We know you can dance. What'd you call him? Stevie Weeby. Oh, Weeby.
- 41:34Speaker 2: You can't call him Panther Weenie. No, you went Weeby.
- 41:37Speaker 2: We'll go somewhere else. This texter says, Mac, when you
- 41:40Speaker 2: try to do a Ric Flair woo, it sounds like
- 41:42Speaker 2: you're getting a rectal exam.
- 41:44Speaker 6: What? What?
- 41:47Speaker 2: Did you have to read that? When that happens, I
- 41:51Speaker 2: just read them, Thad. Don't be mad at me. I
- 41:53Speaker 2: just read them. When that happens, I sing, Moon River.
- 41:57Speaker 2: That's what I do when that happens. All right, y'all,
- 41:59Speaker 2: we got to get out of here. Kyle Hoggard and
- 42:01Speaker 2: the crew, Schrappi, they got to get in here and
- 42:03Speaker 2: riff on a big Panther win from last night. Enjoy it.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Keep it locked into FNC on a Panther Monday.
