Mac & Bone Hour 3: College Football Confidence · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Posh, come on, Posh.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: This is my friend T-Bone. Let's have some fun. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Do it live.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: I'm taking the Crimson Tide, 31, Georgia, 28. Look, on paper,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Georgia has the much better defense. They give up less
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: than four yards of play. That's the best in college football.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: But right now, they haven't seen anything quite like what
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Alabama has offensively. And Keelan Russell is playing the best
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: football of anybody on the entire field. And Georgia's going
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: to have to blitz, I think, to get home before
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: he lets it go. And Kirby Smart is 90-3. in
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: his career when Georgia scores 30 or more. And we've
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: got the Bulldogs stopping just short of that. He's also
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: 2-7 against Alabama and 120-14 against everybody else. So it's
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: going to be very hard to take the Bulldogs against
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: a really improved Alabama football team in Tuscaloosa. I also
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: think Alabama will force a takeaway or two that will
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: ultimately be the difference in what is a three-point game.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But Georgia brings the better defense to Brian Denny on
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Saturday night.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's Greg McIlroy, always college football, making his pick. He
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: goes Bama, goes his alma mater over Georgia by three points.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: The only thing I feel strongly about in this game, Bone,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it's time for college football confidence. And I'd love to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: hear from Georgia fans and Alabama fans. In addition, all
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the local fan bases that got games this weekend. The
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: only thing I feel strongly about is it'll come down
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to the wire, that it'll be tight. This is the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: rare one where I'm not even really spewing out any pick,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: any nonsensical pick.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: That will be wrong. It's hard to pick this game, Bone.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: You must be really confused if you're not spewing words out.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I have a sense that Georgia's winning this game on
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: the road. And part of that has.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: To do with.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: Alabama in this conference. Are they going to run the
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: table and win all their games? They had the huge
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: win last week on the road. It's Georgia this week.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Then it's at Tennessee after this. We'll see what Tennessee
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: is looking like. It's at LSU down the line. Matt,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: this is a conference where I think that eventually they're
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: all going to have... a slip-up or a loss along
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: the way. That includes maybe Georgia at some point. We'll
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: see down the way. Alabama's going to lose somewhere. They're
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: not going to win them all. I think Georgia is
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: the best team in the country right now, and this
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: is a statement, prove-it game on the road for the
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Bulldogs against Bama.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I could see it. I could absolutely see it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think Georgia's the better overall team. I do believe that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Georgia's very lightly tested, though. That's the one thing. Bama
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: has been more tested at this point in time.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Georgia should be more tested than they are, but Oklahoma
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: has failed, so that's why they're.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Not a test.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that ain't a test.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: That is definitely not a test. John Mateer handing you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the football three times does not equal a test.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: This is a test. Keelan Russell, I.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Mean, honestly... You can make a case he's the best
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: player in college football not named Jeremiah Smith. You really can.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He has been that freaking spectacular. But he's a whippersnapper.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He's a first-time starter freshman. So does he have moments
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: where he turns it over? Kentucky turned him over a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: few times, but he hasn't really turned it over since.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Young quarterback versus Kirby Smart also. That'll play a factor here.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: It's true, but it's Kirby Smart against Alabama. He's 2-7
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: against Alabama. I'm not sure Kirby Smart has beaten Alabama
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: in the regular season either.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: But a lot of that was Saban, though, not necessarily DeBoer.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: It's continued with DeBoer, though.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I know, but I— Except for the SEC title game,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but in the regular season games, it's continued with DeBoer.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: So I don't know.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not arguing with you and saying, Bone, you're wrong,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Alabama's going to win. I'm kind of abstaining, but I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: do hope we hear from Georgia and Alabama fans that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: weigh in here. I do think Gunnar Stockton's playing amazing,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but they're banged up at the running back position. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: who's their go-to receiver? They spread it around a lot.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Is there one guy that's going to.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I just.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Georgia, we're going to... I think they're really good. The
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: young defense. I could see them... I could see a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: world where they make Keelan Russell turn it over a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: couple times. But I haven't seen Georgia against Keelan Russell.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen Keelan Russell against a defense like Georgia.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: You know, Mac, I own a Bulldog now. He's got
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: a lot of interest in Georgia right now. Is that why?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Are you adding a team?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: No, but my son Murphy likes watching Cousin Ugga on TV.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I saw him last week staring at the TV.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He knows Ugga.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: All right, let's do some college football confidence, y'all. Grease
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Missile says Georgia by the score of 3-2. I actually
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: think I agree with McIlroy. I actually think it's like 30-27. 34-31.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Is he saying that because of the elements? Is that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: why he said that?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Does he think it's two great defenses? I don't know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Ask Florida State if Alabama's a great defense. They put
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: up 377 passing. I don't speak grease missile. The weather
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is going to clear out by then. A lot of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: people are asking, are they playing that game? What's your
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: feeling on that game? Before we get to the other
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: college football confidence games, I do want State and Wake
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: fans to know you basically got your own segment. We'll
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: probably talk a little bit about App, ECU, and Charlotte
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in there, too.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: This whole hour is college football.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: This is the Panther Bi-Week Football Friday, college football night.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Extravaganza in the eight o'clock hour.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But if you've got a big game coming up this week,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: let us know how you're feeling. Any Tar Heel fans
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: want to pick an upset win? Any Gamecock fans want
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to pick an upset? Eh, probably not.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, I got you. Florida fans want to call out
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the Gamecocks? I got you. I got you on South Carolina.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling good. Right.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think you'd pick South Carolina bone over a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: high school team right now.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying I blame you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Well, this is a this is a rough spot. Gators
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: of what they're coming off of. They're going to be
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: out for blood in this game. Can sellers put I
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: think they can, as you have mentioned, think South Carolina
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: can run the football game. against the Gators. Florida got
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: obliterated on the ground last week. They can do that,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: but do I trust Sellers, who was good last week
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: to put the ball on the ground, but much better,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: but is he going to do that two weeks in
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: a row? South Carolina's problem has been consistency in so
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: many ways. So offensively, can they... Can they do enough
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: against Florida? I just think Florida's going to come out possessed.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: I think Bob's going to score right away, and this
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: thing could get pretty ugly.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Florida had this running game that we were talking about
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as just, I mean, awesome after the Mississippi game. By
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the way, everybody runs on Miss. I just want to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: say that. Everybody runs on Mississippi. I have to say that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But we were talking about those two backs and Ball
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in particular, Bone, in dramatic ways. They got absolutely punked
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and embarrassed in the trenches by Missouri. They couldn't run
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: one bit. And on the other end, Roberts from Missouri
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ran all the hell over them. I kind of feel
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: like it is the type of game where John Summerall
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: absolutely screamed at these guys for a week straight. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: when they show up at 1245 tomorrow at the Swamp,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they take all that out on South Carolina. I agree.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: There's going to be such a will to run the football.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Gamecocks can't hang in for a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: little bit, because I do think the Gamecocks running game,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: don't look now, against FBS opponents, they're 13th in the country.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They run it pretty damn well, too. Fuller's been a very...
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Very good addition to the team here. Oh, big time.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Their offensive line is dramatically improved. They went heavy in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the portal, and they nailed it. And that true freshman kid, Gray,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: is great, too. Here's the thing, too, though. Florida is
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: going to throw it on South Carolina, too. I don't
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: know if y'all have noticed, South Carolina's secondary is about
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the most disorganized thing outside of Fitty and Flounder's podcast. Like,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, they don't know who's covering who.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: God bless that kid Kearns back there, but he has
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: busted coverage like three times a game.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: What is disorganized about our podcast other than the fact
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: that Flounder talked for 12 straight minutes last night?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Flounder thought that was very organized. I'll talk for 12 minutes,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and then you come in. Talk for one.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, Phinney, to be with a guy that just
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: talks for 12 straight minutes, that's just got to be deflating, right?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: We'll talk after the show, Phin. What do you think
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: is the longest I have ever talked for straight?
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Seven minutes and 41 seconds. November 17, 2011.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: There was that one segment, Mac.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: Remember when Bo was on vacation during the summer and
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: I had to go use the facilities and I was
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: gone for an extended period. You talked for almost 10
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: straight minutes, but when I came back in, this dude
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: was like parched on the air.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, you can leave.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: As a producer, you can leave Mac by himself for
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: like 15 minutes and not worry about anything.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: He was struggling, man. He'll take calls and everything. Oh, God.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Can we get back to the Jordan? japan the game
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: really quick.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I like talking all right so jump in here if
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you think your team's winning this weekend florida gator fan
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: 704 says you guys are analyzing this too much all
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you had to say is summer all will have these
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: boys ready and south carolina might be the worst team
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in the sec arkansas would like a word but i
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: have to be honest bone i'm not sure y'all are
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: better than anybody other than.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Arkansas in this conference No.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Vanderbilt vanderbilt getting better doesn't help in the last couple
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: years and kentucky was supposed to be down and they're
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: they've got a chance to beat lsu this weekend what.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Were you going to say fit about george alibaba because
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we got to get to your uh tar heels too
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: baby i got a big statement to make about the tar.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah no one really No one really cares what you
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: have to say about the Carolina pick game. Am I
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: wrong to think, Mac, there's a little bit of pressure
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: on Kirby to get this game? I know he won
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: the SEC last year, but you're talking about the struggles
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: against Bama.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: They're 2-7. You are correct. He has failed to beat
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: them in the regular season.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I thought so.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: And how many times since Saban's left, I think he's
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: had the better team. But they've lost back-to-back years to DeBoer.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I don't think they can let this game get into
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: the 30s. I think they've got to play this game
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: vintage Georgia.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Football, like 24-21. maybe, maybe 24, 17.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You don't think they can let that Alabama secondary that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Ashton Daniels lit up for three 77. You don't think
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Goddard's gunner, the way he's playing. Like, I think they
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: can put up points on him.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: I just don't know if you want to try to
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: get into a track meet because Mac went when Russell
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: gets going, man.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: He is as electric a quarterback as there is in
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: college football right now.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, baby.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And they're so explosive.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I got no pick in the game. I'm just telling you.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be freaking amazing.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I think I'm pulling for Georgia, but I think Bama wins.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Now, I do have a pick in your Tar Heels
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh. I tried against Clemson bone. I tried to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: pick the Tar Heel upset. I'm telling you an ACC
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: signature type win is coming and maybe not signatures. The word,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm hyping it up too much because Pitt doesn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: have Heinzel. They're playing with, with a backup quarterback earner.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying it again. I think the Tar Heels are
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: ready to win a game like this bone. I don't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: think I would have said it. Matter of fact, I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: know I wouldn't have said it with Heinzel, but Um,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: they had an emotional win. Pittsburgh did last week. This
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: kid isn't, this kid has not started a game since
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: his high school state championship game, like four or five
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: years ago. There's going to be some growing pains. Can Belichick's,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: can the Belichick's bone Bill and Brian defensively? force a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: couple of mistakes out of him. I liked the Tar
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Heel passing game last week against Notre Dame. I liked
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the fact that more guys got involved. A second tight
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: end in Easter. CJ Sadler is back catching passes. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: think UNC is winning. An ugly, low-scoring game, something like 17-16.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Something like that, Bone. I think they're going to do it, man.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I actually think, the more I think about it, based
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: off circumstances, I think the Heels win comfortably over Pittsburgh. Oh!
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Are you going three scores galore? As a matter of fact,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: thank you for asking. UNC 31. Pittsburgh 13.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, fit dog. This fit.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: How exciting is this? Your boys are picking your squad, bro.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: You also beat USC tonight in hoops.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: FYI.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of hope we do get that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Are you excited about what's going on here?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: He hates it. Edwards Jr.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Is my quarterback. He hates it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: I said it last night. I think this is a
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: game Carolina should win. with Pittsburgh playing an inexperienced quarterback. But, Mac,
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know what I'm getting from my experienced quarterback. Like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: he's 24 years old. He's seen just about everything he
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: has to see in college football. And the second that
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: pocket gets muddy, man, he forgets everything he's been taught
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: about the position.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Like, if you watch his.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Footwork in person, it's appalling how bad it is. Like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: there were times last week, Mac.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I thought last week was better, though.
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: There were times last week his feet were, like, backwards
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: and he's trying to throw the football, which isn't an
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: accurate statement.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's great, but I'm saying Pittsburgh, off
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the emotional wind. We've got to be able to run it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Back up QB.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: We've got to be able to run the ball with
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Hall in June, and this Pitt defense gives up less
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: than 56 rushing yards a game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: They're good. They're good.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It's an Arduzzi defense up front, and you do have
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to protect this dude.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: If Belichick doesn't get this one.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Him and Jordan, I might want to start packing their
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: stuff because I don't think they're beating Duke.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Now you're 2-4. Now you're 6-12 overall. You're not making
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a bowl game. People are going to be checked out
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of the program for a second straight year.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: It's a massive game tomorrow for the long-term future of
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Bill Belichick and Chapel Hill.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It's a big one, and so is next week. They've
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: got to get one of these. They got, they got
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to get one of these at some point and I'm
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: taking a shot. The bone man's taking a shot. Let
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: me read some of these texts here. College football confidence,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: by the way, we're going to get into NC state wake.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to ask the question bone app state
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and ECU. Are they lock city this weekend? We're going
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to do that coming up next. But let me read
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: some of these texts. Duke football diehard on the text
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: line says Duke is going to lay the hammer down
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: against Georgia's tech in the rain.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Nate Shepard is going to go insane in that game,
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: I think. Georgia Tech's run defense is pathetic. This is
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: a terrible matchup for them.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And if the rain and the wind is what they're saying, Bone,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: 40-mile-per-hour wind, stuff like that, it's going to be all
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: about the running game.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And that's just such an advantage for Duke. He was
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: going to go crazy in good elements.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: If they're going to have to force feed because of
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: the rain, he's... You want to lay some bets down
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: on some player props. I go very high on his
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: rush yards tomorrow, Mac. I go over 200 yards tomorrow, potentially,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: depending on how the game goes.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think there's a very good chance of that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech gives up near 200 yards rushing themselves. He's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: going to get runs and chunks also. Let's see what
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: else is going on here.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Deacon Donna says the marriage may be tested this weekend.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Her husband's a state fan?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, shoot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she sent a photo at a tailgate.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Behind enemy lines she's at a state tailgate well we'll
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: talk about that coming up in the next segment james
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: from maiden says duke duke mother bleeper but i think
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: he's talking about them beating belmont no no he's in
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: basketball he's talking football no it's belmont okay um tarheel
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: fan reaction to me and bone picking the heels uh
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: tarheel swath says give our heels a fighting chance please
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Does that mean don't pick us?
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what I do.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: If I pick against the Heels, I'm just a biased hater.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: If I pick them, then you don't want me picking you.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: So there's really no way for me to go. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: legitimately think the Heels are winning tomorrow.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Now, blowout, you know, obviously I'm trying to jinx it
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: a little bit, but I do think that they win
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: the football game tomorrow. 24-14 to be more realistic, something
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: like that? I think they're going to be right there
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: in a low scoring. I was trying to work people
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: out with three scorers, but I do think they win 24-14.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, damn. So 31-13, not your real score?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: It's possible, but that was me trying to rile up
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the masses. Myron Goodman said, I thought I was going
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to have a nice, peaceful weekend, and then Mac picked
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the Tar Heels.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: We thought we were going to have a nice, peaceful Friday, Myron,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: until you started texting us.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, man!
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was all that, but I
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: enjoyed it. I like Bone v. Texter. I like it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I like it. Myron has annoyed all of us at
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: some point within this week.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: True, true.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: When we come back, calling all Wake Forest and state fans,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: are both sides feeling confident in this one? Plus, as
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: the macker mentioned, ECU app. Are you Lock City? Sports Radio,
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: Gio Lopez, man, you want to talk about the Jake
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Dickard effect and the Wake Forest effect. Look at our
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: guy at North Carolina last year, and look at the
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: quarterback play this year at Wake Forest. Coaching matters. Not
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: that I'm questioning Belichick as a coach, but surroundings matter.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Environment matters. So, Wake Forest, 107th in the country in
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: pass yards per game allowed. The reason I'm putting an 8...
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: on the upset alert concern meter here, which wouldn't be
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: a huge upset. Line's three and a half, I'll grant
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: you that. But the reason is C.J. Bailey is coming
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: off a career high in passing yards. I don't want
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: to alarm anyone, but NC State's got a decent shot
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: here to win a conference game. That's an alarming thing, actually.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: I probably alarmed a lot of people with that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So he loves State's chances of an upset bone, put
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: it as an 8 out of 10 on his upset meter,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but then he hit State with a straight there as
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: well during that. I can't wait for this game. I've
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: not really mentioned it this week, but I mentioned it
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in the past.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Mac Jr. is doing college.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Tours right now, so we made it so that we
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: go check out the campus, me, Mrs. Mac, and Mac Jr.,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Caitlyn wanted no part of this. She's going to be
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: at a friend's house. She could care less about where
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: her brother goes to college. But anyway, we're going to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: be there in the morning checking out campus, stuff like that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And then we're going to be at the game. I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: will be there, Bone. Isn't this exciting, Wolfpackers? I will
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: be there cheering on. The Wolfpack in person.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow, baby. Isn't that big for the Wolfpack fans?
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: You'll be watching the UNC game on your phone, though.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that's known. So much DVRing
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: going on, man. So much DVRing for me. But anyway,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: what do we think? I want to hear from State
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: fans and Wake fans. This game, to me, Bone, I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: think is going to be great. I think it's going
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to come down to the wire. You and I talked
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: about it yesterday. I could see Geo and Bailey... Go
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: on play for play and touchdown for touchdown. I could
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: see it getting to the wire and both teams in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the 30s. Yeah, I could see it being that sort
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: of game. I think it could be real fun, dude. 100%
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of the money right now is on the over. You
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: don't often see that 100%. of the money coming in
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: is on the over. So everybody's thinking that. 80% of
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the money line, though, is on the Wake Forest side
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: right now. Everybody's thinking that. Well, State's defense, I mean,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: statistically in a damn near every category, is shaky. Wake's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: pass defense.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: C.J.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Bailey's been balling the last four games other than that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: whole Vanderbilt play.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Debacle. And Wake, as good as they are, Wake has
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: been lit up through the air.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: They are pretty darn good against the run. I.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I want to see what people think.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Like, do state fans have confidence coming off the big
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Louisville win? Bone brought up a great point, though. And
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: state fans know this as good as anybody. Like, state fans,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: do you really think you win two big games in
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a row with the inconsistent nature, the lack of, like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: validating and following up big wins in their history?
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what are the odds that they get another performance
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: like that?
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: I'm leaning Wake Forest in a very, very close entertaining game.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: I think one of the more entertaining games of the day,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: if not the most entertaining game of the day, maybe
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: until Georgia-Bama, but just afternoon-wise, that game is going to be,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: I think, just off the charts.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: It's a good one.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Gio Lopez, by the way, 15 touchdown passes, one pick.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: The level he's playing at, to Josh Pate's point... Hernandez,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: 600 plus receiving yards already. I, so, and if you're
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a wake fan too, I don't want to make it
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: out to be, somebody says Mac just wants to hold
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a state pepper. I do want wake fans checking in too. Um,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: because I, matter of fact, I want wake fans checking
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in every week. Like y'all have yourself a squad, man,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an absolute squad. And you have yourself an amazing freaking
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: young coach. I want wake fans and they have been
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a little more chirpy bone. I want Wake fans to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: be chirpy every week on these Friday shows.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Can I also point out, Matt, that I'm looking at
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: the forecast for Raleigh tomorrow. There is elements of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: tropical storm that will hit Raleigh as well. Second half showers,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: it sounds like. There will be rain in the afternoon.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: So does that slow it down a little bit there?
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: But we'll see.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: They're calling it showers, and then it's nighttime thunderstorms. So showers,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: maybe they can throw. Wake does not. Finney, don't say
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: anything about State fan showers, okay? I know what you're
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: about to say about that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Make sure you're lit up on the soap, guys.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I think Bo just said something, actually. No, I'm trying
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: to stay fancy showers. No, I told him not to
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: say that. Do they sell soap at the Goodwill? I
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: 704-570-9610.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people are bringing up the weather. State does not
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: want a grind-it-out run game. because I'm not sure they're
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: going to be able to. Wake's run defense is much
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: better than their pass defense, and State doesn't have Duke
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Scott and at least two O-linemen, and maybe three O-linemen.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't think State wants the weather like that.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: This texter says, I'm a Wolfpack guy. CJ can't win
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: this one on his own. I fear Gio Lopez has
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: more help. Yeah, I would think Bone Wake would run
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it better than State.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: In this game tomorrow.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I would, I would think so. So I do feel
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: like Bailey will have to carry it. Interesting of that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: The spread being three and a half for wake on
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: the road, because that means neutral site. It's almost a
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: touchdown for wake forest. So Vegas really is back in
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: a wake forest in this game.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Now, they both beat Louisville recently, so they both have
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: big wins over Louisville, although now we're starting to wonder,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: is it really a big win to beat Louisville? So
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: they both have that on their resume. It's a fun
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: lead up to me, man.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: It really is.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Wolfpack James, let's see, says, never mind if Mac's going
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to be there rooting for us.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Wake's winning.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah back in person what could go wrong.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: He says we will vanderbilt again maybe not as embarrassingly
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: bad but we will give it away at the end
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: uh let's see what else is happening here.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Is kenny hall a state fan bone i have no
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: idea not not.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: He is he says i'm not optimistic i think our
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: season is basically done except for ruining fitty's thanksgiving can't.
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: Ruin my thanksgiving i'm gonna have all the pie And
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: turkey and cranberry sauce.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I can have. And you're going to have love for Thanksgiving, too.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: That's on your plate. You know? That's great.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Before it gets too late and we lose our group here,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: shout out to Christian Audi of Carolina Sports Live. He's
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: driving in the car. with his Friday Golf Degenerates. Listened
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: to the Mac and Bone show, and his fellow golfers asked,
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: how do Mac and Bone do the show? What are
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: they on to have that much energy? And I had
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: to tell them that my man Mac is all natural, baby.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah, baby.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: No coffee, no energy drinks, nothing. This man is just
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: clean as can be. Now, I'm like a 90s baseball player.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: I'm on everything over here.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say that before they get out of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the car. I don't need any performance enhancers. Hit them straight, boys.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Hit them straight. Have a few beverages, although I have
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a feeling if it's Audi and his boys, I don't
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: need to tell them that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Also, let's keep an eye on Audi out there on
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: the course for a little shenanigans, too.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Let's not fully trust them out there. Audi, you think
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: you're going to go foot wedge? I've heard rumors.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: 92, you ever use a foot wedge out there on
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the golf course, 92?
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Don't know what you're talking about.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: Unlike the previous administrations, I'm never on.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: The golf course.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Although you do own.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: Just because I live at one doesn't mean I play it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: You do own, I thought, 48 course championships there.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Club championships, 92.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I bought the title.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about these.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: App State and ECU games. Oh, here's a Wake fan, though. Y'all,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: this is a 20-point route against NC State. I have
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: never felt so good about a Wake team, and you
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: guys nailed it. I want to play NC State every
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: time after their big win.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: 20 points. Because you know they are following it up
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: with crap.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: I've never seen a Wake fan do that much bravado
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: in my life.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love it. Wake fans, y'all should be. Y'all
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: should have bravado. I mean, I'm rooting against you this week.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Is that Wes Bryant's burner? Wes will be on the sidelines.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Is that a boost for Wake? Do the Wake players get, like,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: an extra oomph bone when former Deacon great Wes Bryant
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: is on the sidelines?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wes and you in the house.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's advantage Wake. Definite advantage Wake. This dude says,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Mac going to root against us this week, and every
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: other week he's going to be acting like he's the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: biggest fan of our Deacs. Yeah. This guy listens, doesn't he? Okay,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: so what do you think, Bone, about the Lock City question?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: App State against Old Dominion. I think App is like
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a nine-point favorite, I think.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe so. And then ECU and Rice....
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: How is EC? Is that 10? Yeah, but I have
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: a question about that. This is more for the aficionados
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: of the AAC. It's a 10-point spread at Dowdy Ficklin.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Rice has only beaten Houston Christian this year. Why is that?
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: What am I missing here about? What's going on? Why
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: is that only 10? Oh, so you think it should
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: be more? Yeah, like Rice is one in four. They
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: beat Houston Christian.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I do think.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: ECU has not been great this year, right? I know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: but still, though, Rice, that feels like that. On the road,
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: that should be more than 10. Rice has that. And 67%
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: of the money line is on Rice, by the way.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: What's going on here with this? Well, it's not last
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: year's ECU, I think. Although I do like the fact
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that Emery Williams took over the starting job. I think
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: he's the more talented over Mitch Griffiths. Rice is the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Scott Abel coach team, right? Scott Abel's the dude that
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: was at Davidson running his video game offense. It's like
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: a triple option offense, so it is something you don't
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: see often, Bone, but they don't pass hardly at all.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I would be.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Them and at both. Like, do you think we lock...
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Should we just lock them both up, Bone? Because Old
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Dominion has really struggled offensively. And ECU only beat them
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: by three, by the way. Give you a little context
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: on ECU. App State, they can't keep up with App State.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Old Dominion's offense, App State is going to put up points, man.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Singleton is a baller. And this App State defense, too,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: this defense has vastly improved from last year's defense.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to lock up App. Double locks. Double locks?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's double locks, man. Although, I'm just sitting
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: here telling you, beware of ECU. But I don't, I mean,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Rice ain't good, man. Notre Dame beat them 52-0. ECU
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: did play UTSA close last week, though. Only lost by two.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Old Dominion beat App last year, but again, App last
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: year was not App as much. ECU is not who
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: they were last year, and App is not who they
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: were for different reasons, different ways.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I will lock both of them. Feels double
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: locks for y'all. Double locks.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Now, ODU lost their quarterback. This is the rare double
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: lock situation. ODU lost their stud quarterback. He transferred to Wisconsin.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And I know this because he led a 17-point rally
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: against my sorry Nittany Lions.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: You talk about lack of college football confidence, Bo.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I think, I feel like, I feel like Panther Bo's
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Purdue Boilermakers will beat my Nittany Lions in a few weeks.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: That's the lack of confidence I have about Penn State.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's sad, man.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I don't fully trust USC either, though. That's the problem. No,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I don't either. I don't think they're very good.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: But, like, when you get outrushed, 413 to like 40
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: by northwestern you may be a bad football team lincoln's.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: On tarmac watching this game.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: They lose they lose that gonna be a bad look.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: And like i know it's a wide out i know
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: it's a night game at penn state first one under
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: matt campbell but you lose to this version of penn
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: state that gives you two losses you're pretty much out
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: of the playoff picture because you i don't you're not
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: going to beat ohio state and some of the other
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: teams you have to start to play.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah this would be a devastating loss and i'm Penn
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: State's a freaking favorite in Vegas in this game.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Is this the week for Charlotte, Matt? I'm going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: ask every week. Is this the week for Charlotte to
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: pull a stunner? 28.5 point underdogs. 99% of the money
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: is on North Texas.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: That's not 100%. That means someone believes out there. Is
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: this the week, Mac?
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: No?
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: No for Charlotte? North Texas. Yeah, North Texas.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Who did they blow out?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: UNLV?
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like 44-8? It's a problem.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure a team that beat UNLV, who's a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: decent team, 44-8, is going.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: To lose to Charlotte.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I can't pick Charlotte really, Bone.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I have to see it. I've been trying. I have
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: to see it. I've been trying.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Now, more app haters trying to sell us Charlotte plus 26.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Could she go there? Maybe there? I don't know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: God, I hope basketball's good, Charlotte. I hope Wes Miller's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: boys are good. Which brings us to the fake tweet
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of the day. We need a sponsor, Bone, for the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: fake tweet that hoodwinked people. Explain to people, Bone, the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: fake tweet that you may have bid on.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: We need Danielle Stein of WCNC, Langston Wirt of the
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Charlotte Observer. Cam Gaskins of WBTV, and Travis T. Bone
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Hancock of the Mac and Bone Show to please come
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: forward and acknowledge that you got got by a fake
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: John Rothstein that mentioned Charlotte beating UConn in a basketball
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: secret exhibition. I sent it to Mac this morning and said,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: oh my God, look what happened. Turns out that was
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: not Rothstein.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Now, you got got, but you did not, like, say
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: anything about it on social media, though.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: No, but I was going to come in and do that. Yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: so you at least figured it out before you went
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: public with it. There's a not Rothstein and a John Rothstein.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I got not Rothstein.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Dude, I was ready to lead the show at 6
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: o'clock with Charlotte basketball. Wes Miller has something cooking. Maybe
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: you got an exhibition. And then you text me back
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: a minute later. Oh, man, I just fell for something.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, God. Anyway, um... All right. Good talk, Bo.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: All righty.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Good talk.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: More college football, though, baby. Yeah, more college football next.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Upset alerts at under-the-radar games for the college football week.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: And Panthers in a bye.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Plenty of college football talk on tap.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ, the college football power hour. The
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Panther bye week, college football obsession continues, Bone Man. We
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: will talk some Panther football, though, in the 9 o'clock hour.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I want everybody to know that. We don't take bye
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: weeks off here. We got some Panther fan questions we
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: want to talk, including Bone. The text that we get...
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: where people aren't happy with Jalen Phillips. We've got to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: kind of deal with that here on the show. Zach
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Gelb joins us at 925, so hopefully y'all are enjoying
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the football talk. ECU fans have checked in, Bone, about
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: us going lock city.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: On their Pirates. Are they excited?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: On your question of how ECU's only a 10-point favorite
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: over Rice, they are not very confident, Bone, it appears.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Our guy Scotty from the Crown Club, proud ECU grad,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: says the reason why the spread is only that is
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: because we're ECU.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Is his response to your question. All right, well, there
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: you have it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: We got another ECU fan. He says, we're ECU. We
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: can't be trusted. That's why it's only 10. You've got
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Brew from the 2-5-2. What a name. Rice is an
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: option team. Pirates struggle against the option. Yeah, it's the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: type of offense you don't prepare for maybe all year
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: except for the Rice game. But their other opponents, other
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: than Houston Baptist, have seemed to do okay. Against their option.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this kind of fun conversation.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Let's just bounce them all around off each other here.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: We're going to upset alerts and like.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: um under the radar games games that maybe we're not
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: going to talk about it much here but you're like
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: dude that's going to be a good one to check
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: out um let's start first with under the radar games
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: what do y'all what do y'all got out there i
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: think that we're not mentioning.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: I think this one ties in potentially to both under
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: the radar and upset possibilities Look, Indiana football is at
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: a level we never thought before. They won a national championship.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: They're still living a dream they never thought was possible.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: I don't think they are quite what they were last year.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Northwestern should have got them a couple weeks ago, although
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Northwestern is playing better than we thought. Indiana has Ohio
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: State next week in Bloomington in a massive game. They're
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: on the road at Nebraska State. Matt Rule desperately needs
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: a win. I wonder, is this a spot for Nebraska
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: under the radar game, but upset also? I wonder if
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Nebraska gets Indiana before they play Ohio State next week.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So you went under the radar and upset alert on
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: this one. The old double play there. I was going
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: to name this game too, Bone, and listen, yeah, I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: think it fits both categories. Matt Rule and Nebraska have
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: something to prove, though, in this spot. I am not
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: one that thinks Indiana is as good as last year.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody does, but I still think they're
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Nebraska has not beaten a ranked team
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: in a decade. It's been 10 years plus. And Matt
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Rule is 2-25 as a college football coach against ranked teams.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: So this is the type of game, Bone, that Matt and...
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: The whole state has to prove something. I think it
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: could be a really fun, good game. I also think
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: another game at noon that is under the radar is
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Mizzou and.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Mizzou last week was great, but they also benefited, I think,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: from Florida coming off bone the really big high. Does Mizzou,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: are they on upset alert bone because they're coming off
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: this big high? You know, I think if they were going,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I think that I think that one's intriguing and upset
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: alerty as well.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: I see what you're saying. And I think they have.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Does Missouri have the Gators after that?
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Is that who's I have to look at? They just
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: beat the Gators. I'm sorry. Not the Gators. I'm sorry.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: They have another one right after that. I forgot who
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: it was, but you have to look there. They have
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: another one coming up. It's the SEC for crying.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Why don't you learn my schedule, buddy? Not the Gators, obviously. No.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: If it was going on the road.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: They have Texas next week. They have Ole Miss after that.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: That's what it was. I'm sorry.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: It was Texas. Or no, I'm sorry. They have Ole
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Miss next week. There you go. Ole Miss. That's what
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: it was. This week they have Texas A & M.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I'm blind as a bat. Yeah, I'm messing up too.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: I think if Missouri was going on the road like
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: we've seen happen after big wins, I'd say they'd be
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: in trouble. But I just flat out don't trust A &
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: M either, though.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think A & M' s that good, but the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: SEC the last couple weeks, teams coming off big wins.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're right. Have lost.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I say Missouri survives this, but there's trouble ahead, though,
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: with those games coming up.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Bone knows, yo! What do you got, Fitty? Upset alerts?
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Under-the-radar games? What fits the category?
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll go to the game that Bone led off
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: the segment with. Me and Smoke talked about Indiana getting
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: beat by Nebraska two weeks ago. We've been talking about
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: this game for two weeks. I do think Matt Rule
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: and that program, I think they're ready to have that
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: kind of moment and kind of reemerge maybe as some
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: sort of a player on the national scene in college football.
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: And under the radar game, I think to keep an
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: eye on in the Big 12, Houston is a very
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: unimpressive 4-1. They got to go to Manhattan, Kansas. I
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: think I like Kansas State to pull the upset off.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: And that game as the Big 12, I think it's
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: about to get really, really weird. Because I'm with you, Mac.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: You said earlier in the show, I think Texas Tech
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: and BYU are the two best teams. But I don't
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: think they're as good as they were a year ago.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: We got Pecante's Oklahoma State Cowboys with Drew Mestemaker. They're
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: ranked inside the top 20. I think this is going
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: to be a fun weekend in the Big 12 with upsets.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Upsets galore.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: As we start getting closer and closer to playoff time.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: How about LSU at Kentucky tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, right?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: The whole country will be obsessing over the other SEC game,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the Bama-Georgia game a half hour later. I think Kentucky
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: LSU is fascinating. Witt Weeks is out. He's the leader
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: of that defense. This is a chance for Will Stein,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: who already is starting to achieve golden boy status, This
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: one's just interesting.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: How good are you, Kentucky? How good are you really,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: The money line is favoring Kentucky straight up beating LSU
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: in this game, despite being 10.5-point underdogs. So that's interesting.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: I think tonight is actually really good, Mac. I'm not
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: a self-horned... Under the radar night tonight. Yeah, I'm not
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: a self-horned tutor. That's not what I do here.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not toot my own horn. But for whatever reason,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what it is, if it's the... Flounder is.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: If it's the... Sorry, Flounder. Come on. Sorry, Flounder.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know if there's less games so I'm able
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: to focus more. I have not lost a Friday night
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: pick all year, betting-wise.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I've been hot on Fridays.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: Now, I get to Saturday, and normally whatever I win,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: it's usually gone by Saturday. But Friday nights, I've been good,
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: and I'm intrigued by both Florida State's chances against Louisville tonight.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: But I really like Washington at home to beat Iowa
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: tonight in the Big Ten game. Washington's lost two in
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: a row, but close.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: I think Washington gets Iowa tonight in Washington.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's—– they've got three good games tonight
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: because I wouldn't– I keep saying I wouldn't sleep on it,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: but I'm literally going to sleep during it. But 10-15
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: tonight on ESPN, BYU against Iowa State.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: And LJ Morgan's hurt for BYU, their star running back.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: He is, he is. Iowa State's got a star running
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: back in their own right. He ain't hurt. Yeah.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the Louisville-Florida State game, we haven't even really
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: talked about. That is extremely fascinating in the ACC because
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the way the ACC works bone is Louisville probably wins
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: this game. I feel like that's how the ACC works.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Florida state has this amazing performance against Virginia. The conference
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: probably starts thinking, Oh, can we count on Florida state?
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: They ran all over Virginia. They had 10 sacks on defense.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Their offense has been good all year. Daniels is playing great.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I think Louisville probably wins the game tonight. Two great
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: running attacks with running quarterbacks, including the run attacks. Florida
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: State's past defense, though, Bone, has been atrocious this year.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: When the quarterback gets the ball off, they sacked Pribula
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: 10 times last week. But when the quarterback throws, they
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: give up 298 yards a game. I just Louisville still
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: a good team. I refuse to think Louisville stinks and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: they're at home tonight. I think they win, but this
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: game is real freaking interesting, man. If Florida State followed up,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the Virginia win?
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: You can use the NC State method for Mike Norvell
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: when it comes to consistency. Is Florida State going to
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: go back-to-back weeks, travel on the road and do it?
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they'll win the game, but I
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: am intrigued, though, by Florida State right now being a
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: lot better than we thought when they played New Mexico State.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: It was like, oh, my God, are they going to be–
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: another three-win team this year. They are playing better. The
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: spread is three and a half. I wouldn't probably bet
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: it because of the unknown of both those teams right now,
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: but I think that's.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Going to be a hell of a game on Friday night, though.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: It is going to be a good one tonight. Then
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: you've got the Tar Heel basketball exhibition night against USC.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: You've got a nice little night of sports. Real quick,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Nate McAddenville says, do not jinx my Knowles. I don't
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: think we did any jinxing. I might have done the opposite.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I think Mike Norvell does that for you. Also, Nate
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: in McAddenville, don't y'all have to start preparing for Christmas time?
