  Speaker 6: And I'm dehydrated from being at Knoxville and drinking too much.
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: I'm like, well, shoot, I'll just get the water from
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: the fruit. I ate this entire fruit platter, not even thinking.
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: I had no idea what it was going to do
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: to me. And we're at the car, and they're, and

  Speaker 6: that's not how that played out.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Business took care of you. Yeah, I had no choice.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: I had no choice. The race is legendary, man. Absolutely legendary.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Not quite Ricky Rudbone with the burns on his back
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: at Martinsville getting picked up out of the car.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But I feel like a dude soiling himself and having
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to sit in it. And then, as Tony Stewart said
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: there on Dirty Mo Media, once he did that and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: got it out of his system, even though it was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: still in the fire suit, he then said, OK, don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: have to worry about that. that discomfort anymore let me
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: go win this damn race and started passing cars legendary
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: bone man legendary you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Talk about a racer's racer right nothing's gonna stop him
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: also we've always wondered you know tony stewart kind of
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: cranky over the years well maybe that's why he went
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: through some stuff there uh some stuff i'll clean up
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the word that very few people could go through right
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: i peed my car once on 77 so i can
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: relate a little.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Bit did you pee yourself and make the drive to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and from raleigh Was.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: That all in one day?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Because I was going to say, that would be extremely
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: legendary driving.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: That's never been done. Oh, that would be. All right,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: try that sometime. Try that sometime. Yeah, like 20.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Years ago, I got stuck in one of those afternoon
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: traffic melees in Charlotte. I had two Dr. Pimps on
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the way out, and... Sure enough, the doctor was calling now.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Was it Dr. Pepper or Mr.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Pip?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Which one?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Or did you create your own soda and like mix
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: them together?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Mr. Pip. Sorry.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: You should have tried.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Pip wasn't a doctor yet. He was still working his
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: way through school. You should have tried some Dr.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Perky.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: That's what you should have tried. Shout out to Frank
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: and Waxall, by the way.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He is the man running the show at the Twin
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Peaks down there in Fort Mill near Carowinds. Was listening
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to the whole when we discovered live on the air.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that Food Lion has named its generic Dr. Pepper Dr. Perky,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: which is just, I mean, the jokes just write themselves.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And he brought me a 12-pack of Dr. Perky, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it's now in the studio. People now, at their leisure bone,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: can feel free to grab a Dr.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Perky.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Perky also might be the Panthers' team doctor right now,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: based off of recent events.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: All right. Anyway, let's do this. Let's talk Panthers, shall we?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The Damian Lewis news. Sounds like he will not be
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: there this week at least. Maybe we can get him
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: back after the bye week.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: We'll get some more news, I'm sure, from the team
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: later today. It's Wednesday.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: It's we're screwed Wednesday when Dave Canales gives the injury
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: report on Wednesday. So we'll find out what's going on
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: with all the injuries today. But there are so many
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: injuries on this team. We counted it yesterday. 13 starters
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have been hurt. and have missed time on this team
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: at some point. And many of them, I counted bone,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: like nine of them could potentially miss this specific game
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: against the lions. When we're trying to put on a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: show for the nation in our first Sunday night football game,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in 11 freaking years.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: And you know, I guess the team that's also banged up.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And we said here, hold our medical charts. We're worse
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: than you are. Seriously. I, um, so what do you
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: think bone inevitably? And I see it right now on
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the text line. Y'all we, we got to write this
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: game off. Try not to get embarrassed, heal up in
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the bi-week and then go on a run.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: How do you feel?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I heard Smoke talking about this with KB yesterday. How
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: do you feel about a lot of fans just kind
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of throwing their hands up in the air and being like,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We ain't winning this game. Like, do you feel that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: way or do you want to push back against that?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I'll push back to some degree. I'm not saying don't
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: be worried. Obviously, I have no idea what direction I'm
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: going in on this game on Friday. I don't know
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: if I'm sitting here pantering up. It's going to be
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: hard with all the injuries. But I will say there
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: was a feeling of, oh, my God. In the regular
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: season last year, no Mike Jack, no Horn. It's the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Rams offense. How in the world could the Panthers possibly
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: beat the Rams? And they did it that day. Now,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: long term without Horn is a problem. But for one day,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: they proved last year they can overcome the odds. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the Lions offense is really, really good. But I don't
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: fear golf as much as Stafford. I fear them, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: not as much as the league MVP. So they've proven
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: before they've been down guys in this regime and they've
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: overcome it. So it's not impossible. It's just going to
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: be a very tall task. Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: This is the example everybody is pointing to. I brought
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it up in the first hour. It's like, if we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: can win, remember how we felt in that game? I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: remember Sam Farber, wasn't that Thanksgiving weekend? Weren't we doing
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: street turkeys on that Wednesday show?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: And I'm on there. Woe is me. Woe is Panther Mac.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Because they lost to the Niners on the Monday night.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: We did street turkeys with Farber on Wednesday.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm on there doing the woe is me, the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: keep pouting thing that I hate so much.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: I was doing it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: We got no chance to win this game with all
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: these guys out. And Sam Farber strolls in with a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: very underrated set of guns, I will point out. And
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Sam Farber rolls in and says— How does he get
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: those things in the arena now, by the way? They
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: don't pat them down? Says, you will beat the Rams
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. I would love you to be right, Sam,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: but no way. Sam Farber called it, baby. So we
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do have to remember that feeling, Bone, going into the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Packer game as 14-point dogs and feeling like we can't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: win this game.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: So the Panthers... did that thing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Last year of winning and rising up when you didn't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: expect them to, and then losing games you did expect
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: them to. And hell, they did it this past week
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: against the Browns. We're not the only ones bringing this up.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Listen to Panther Talk. Anish Shroff brings that exact game
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: up to Dave Canales and asks, are there similarities?
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: Does it feel, going into this week, a little like...
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: the first Rams game from the regular season last year
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: where you guys came out of San Francisco and you
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: guys were beat up and you had to buy, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: a week out and it was okay. Can you go
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: get through this week? And then you showed up, you
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: played physical, you go win the game. I mean, is
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: there a similar type of feeling? I know it's still
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: early in the week though.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: It is. It is.
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: There is a similar feeling to that. Just knowing, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: for me, I get excited. And, and when, when we
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: face challenges, when we face, injury, different things, or the
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: things we have to get better on in different phases.
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: It brings us together and it brings the staff together
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: to find solutions. It brings the team, the players together
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: to support each other and knowing that it's going to
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: take a full group effort and we can play our
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: best football with anybody who we have out there. As
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: long as we trust, as long as we go out
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: there with everything we have and guys understand if you're
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: out there for the first time, the rest of these
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: guys got your back. And And it really does. It
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: really is galvanizing in a way, especially when it's a
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: primetime game. Then it adds a little extra juice. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: while I try not to play that up too much,
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: I don't want guys to miss the moment and how
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: special these moments are to be able to play in
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: a primetime slot.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I know that people always get on Canales-Macker fans about
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: his rah-rah mentality and upbeat positive, but I do think
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: much like that Rams game last year and this week,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I do think that's where it comes in handy because
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: he's going to keep these guys up in a time
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: where they might get down. So I think this is
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the reason they were able to win last year in
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: large part. Dave Canales' personality and that upbeat nature, sometimes
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: it might bother us, but I think there's sometimes within
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the team it does help them.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can deny the culture has been
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: improved under Dave Canales dramatically. I think he is a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: good tone setter culture guy. I don't think the play,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I think the players respond to him. Like, I don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: think they, you know, roll their eyes. Like this dude's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: like a TV dad. This guy's like Phil Dunphy out here.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I don't, I don't think
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's like that. Even if he might be like that. Oh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: by the way, Phil Dunphy disrespected on the TV list.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Where were they at?
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: 77? 77.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Way too low.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Get out of here. Way too freaking low. All right, anyway,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: let's bounce back to the Panthers. All right, so let's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: talk about this question here. By the way, Roseboom was
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: out that game. I'm not acting like he's, you know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Ray Lewis or Luke Keekly, but he was out that game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And Jake Curhan had to start at guard. So it
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: ran pretty deep, the injury situation.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: And in that game in November against the Rams, the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Rams came in here as a road team at 10-point favorites.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Panthers won. The spread for this week... It's the Lions
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: by three and a half. Way lower, way lower spread. So,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: and the reason is they have. their issues too.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Like I was, and we can discuss, and I'm sure
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we will have the next few days, like what injuries
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and what losses hurt us the most in this matchup.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure we're going to start talking about horn.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And if we don't have Mike Jack with them, It's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: very scary. But you also need to point out, Bone,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: their defensive situation. As good as they are on offense,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and Jameer Gibbs amazing, Amin Ra is amazing. I mean,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: they've got so much talent. But their defense, Bone, 32nd
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in points allowed through three weeks, 31st in yards, 22nd
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in rush defense, 32nd pass defense. They are dead last
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in the league in pass defense. They are giving up
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: 299 pass yards a game. So now the problem is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: they're fifth in sack percentage, and Aiden Hutchinson is an
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: absolute animal. So you do, like Buckner last hour said,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you have to scheme around your offensive line issues. Get
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: these guys some help. A lot of tight ends, man.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You know, run the ball and get in predictable passing situations. Yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: tight ends is help.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Feels like a game where there's going to be a
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: lot of points scored, to be completely honest about it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm thinking.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Um like i think we can yeah i think we
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: can put up points too and i think it can
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: feel like the rams games last year yeah i think
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: so too yeah kind of back and forth sort of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: thing um this texter says get out of here with
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the detroit defense stinks thing our offensive line is missing
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: three starters this week no blame.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: They're missing three secondary pieces already so there's a lot
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: missing on both sides.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: Also have you watched this lions team man They should
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: have blown a 21-point lead at home to New Orleans.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: They should have lost that football game.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Barely beat the Jets.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: And they barely beat the Jets. And the game against Buffalo, yes,
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: on a short week, was over at halftime.
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: They competed in the second half. They rallied.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: It was three-score galore at halftime of that football game.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: This isn't the 15-2 Lions two years ago. This is
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: some juggernaut team coming into the bank. on Sunday night.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: If Bryce keeps playing the way Bryce is playing, Mac,
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: this game is very winnable. They probably got to put
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: up 27 to get it done, but you should have
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: confidence that if you get, especially if Coker can play,
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: and I think it's worth you running the risk of
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: putting him out there with the bye week next week.
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: You get Coker back, you get XL back, you can
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: run a little bit better. There's points to be had
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: on this Lions defense.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: You've got to run the ball, though.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: If they try to be 65%, 70% pass bone, Aiden
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Hutchinson and those boys are going to tee off. Because
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I don't want to ignore, I feel like Finney's ignoring
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the tackles and how bad they were. And by the way,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we have one lineman that has been really good this year,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and he's Damian Lewis. And it sounds like he ain't
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: playing this week, too. So I don't want to ignore
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that stuff. They have to come up with a game plan, Bone,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that minimizes that.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I hope Bryce is also
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: all right to move around because... With this offensive line
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: in Hutchinson, he's going to have to run for his
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: life at times in this game.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's just naturally going to happen. I don't want to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: jinx his health, but Bryce got a soccer injury, didn't he?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: The way he got stepped on his foot there. That
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: happens in soccer all the time. Now, Bryce didn't make
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: them spray magic spray on it and bring a stretcher
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: out and take him off like a couple of soccer
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: guys bone might. But that injury should be– if that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: all that happened– Walker stepping on. Now that's a bigger
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: man than the soccer guys, right? When they step on
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: your foot, that's a 300 pounder step. But I would
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: think he's going to be, you know, even if it
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: bothers him, I would think he's going to be, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: pretty darn good.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: You know, when we come back here on the Mac
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: and bone show, we're going to go to the on
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: three guys from crane and cone. Blaine crane is going
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: to join us. We're going to talk about the status
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: of Shane Beamer in South Carolina. Does UNC have any
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: chance at all? against Notre Dame. All the things in
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: local college football. Blaine Crane is next. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, man, rocking and rolling.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: We're having a good time on and off the air here.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: All right, we're having a good time on and off
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the air. Mack and Bone with you. Hopefully you're enjoying it, man.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: We're trying to talk you through this injury-ravaged mess that
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: we are in with the Carolina Panthers. And then, Bone,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: if it's not the— I just realized, our main football conversations
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: right now are either, can we deal with this injury,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that injury?
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Can we overcome all the injuries with the Panthers?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And then we turn to college football and it's like,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: all right, how badly do you want to fire your coach?
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Who's got the hottest tookus in the Carolinas?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad vibes and negative stuff we're
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: But we're here for you, y'all. We're here for you.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And our next guest will be here for you as
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: well as we get ready. to talk some college football
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: with a man. He's going to have some zingers for us, y'all.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: He's always going to come with some good zingers that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: are going to uplift your spirits if your team's struggling
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and you want to kill your football coach. He is
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Blaine Crane. He joins us right now. He is a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: part of Crane and Cone. Those guys kill it talking
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: college football. And you can check them out on their
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And Blaine Crane joins us here on the Mac and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Bone Show. Blaine, what's going on, man?
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: What's up, fellas?
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Doing fantastic.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Woke up this morning. That's a good start. We're getting
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: closer and closer to Saturday, even Friday, of another beautiful
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: college football slate.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah, baby. All right. You hear that out there?
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: If you're mad about football, you woke up today. All right.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Let Blaine crane pick you up a little bit.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Um, uh, South Carolina fans want to wake up one
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: day though, Blaine and have a different.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Coach or not, or not wake up or not wake
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: up at all. Is that where you're at boat?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Um, what do you think about like, like his beamers
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: does beamer now have the hottest seat in the whole
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: country or what? I guess Mike Loxley probably got a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: battle there for that. But what, like, what do you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: think about the beamer situation? Can he dig himself out
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of this?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: No, at this point, I mean, you've already dug yourself
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: too deep. I don't see yourself making out of this.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think South Carolina is going to magically winning
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: football games. It's over, right? We read the book. We're
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: at the end of it. It's time to push Shane
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Beamer down the river. We're all whole hands and sing Kumbaya.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: And I think it happens after this weekend because I
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: think Kentucky is probably going to beat South Carolina. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: then after that, with the Dylan Stewart stuff, It's over with.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Mike Loxley's already in the body bag, basically. He's fired.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I think South Carolina is a lot more prominent job
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: than what Maryland is right now.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Blaine, I agree with you that it feels like the
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: inevitable is going to happen with Shane Beamer. But why
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: do you think he's had the highs and he's had
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: the lows? Why has he had so much trouble finding
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: a consistent balance with the Gamecocks?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think he's done a really bad.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: He's got really, you know, top air talent. But the
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: medium talent, especially up front of the offensive line, it
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: just hasn't been there. And if you can't recruit in
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: the trenches at South Carolina, in the SEC or anything
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: like that, you're not going to survive. Even with a
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: guy like Lenore Sellers as your quarterback. I mean, it
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter. You have Nick Carver. If you can't recruit
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: defensive linemen and offensive linemen consistently in the SEC, you're
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: going to crumble.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: No doubt. No doubt.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Blaine Crane is with us. It is Crane and Cone.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Make sure you check those guys out. YouTube, wherever you
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: get your podcasts, talking college football. Blaine, we were talking
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: about this one during the break. Mississippi State has their
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: third straight high profile game. They're hosting Bama. I hate
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that the game's at noon. I'd love for this one
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to be a night one, but it's a noon game.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: What do you think of that one? Bama's been extremely impressive.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Gamecock fans know that from Saturday. What do you feel
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: about this matchup? Can Mississippi State win like three big
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: ones three weeks in a row, or is this where
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: they lose?
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, can they win? Sure. I think you
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: have a chance any time you have that thing running
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: around at your quarterback position at Kamario Taylor, who I
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: call the Gray Lantern. The dude's just absolutely disgusting. This
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: was going to be kind of weird to me, because
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: if you look at it, is it 11 o'clock? Yes.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And the weather is supposed to be awful. It's supposed
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: to be awful. And I think that actually favors Alabama
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: a little bit. But if you look at Mississippi State
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: and if you watch Mississippi State play this year, it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: just not Camario. That's the only good player on this team.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Evans at receiver. Buff Boswell at running back. Your defensive
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: line is pretty good. This being at Mississippi State, if
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: you're a Mississippi State fan, if you can look up
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter and it be one possession, that's
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: where you want to be. On the Alabama side... I
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: think they're one of the scariest teams in the country,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: the most dynamic. I mean, Keelan Russell is getting better
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: and better week in, week out. So if you're missing, say,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: can you win?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Do I think you're going to win?
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: No.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Blaine, this is a dangerous question, and please don't laugh
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: at my fellow friends here. We've got Clemson hosting Miami
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: as a big underdog on Saturday. Notre Dame is coming
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: into Chapel Hill as a big favorite against the Tar Heels.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Is there any chance at all of Clemson or UNC competing,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: pushing their opponents? Any chance at all for either team?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Or is this going to be a bloody day for
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: both Clemson and North Carolina?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a bloody day. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: think it's going to be a massacre probably. But I
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: will say I think North Carolina has a better chance
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: of competing with Notre Dame than Clemson has with Miami.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you this is why. Because as though
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I know, I mean, Mike Clemson's been on a little
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: bit of a run lately beating– beating North Carolina, beating Cal.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: But Tate Reynolds, you're not going to run for 260
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: yards against Miami. It's just not going to happen. North
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Carolina's more balanced. North Carolina has more athletes on both
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: sides of the ball. And North Carolina has a quarterback
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: who can actually push it vertically and threaten you a
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: little bit to open up the run game. And I
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: still think Notre Dame's coming along a little bit. So
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: to keep it close, I'd go with North Carolina because
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I think Clemson's just going to get run out of
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: the building.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, Blaine, I want to ask you about the little
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: old ACC here, all right, headquartered in this great city
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: of Charlotte, North Carolina. There are a few teams that
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: are kind of just outside the rankings. A lot of
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: ACC folks are like, we can't get these unbeaten teams here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: In the rankings, teams like Virginia Tech and Pitt, they
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: play each other Friday night. And then a Duke team
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: as well that has, I think, one of the best
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: offensive players in the country in Shepard at running back.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Do you look at any of those three teams and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: feel like, oh, I think they'll be a staple of
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the rankings eventually? Or do you kind of view them
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: maybe the way the voters do, which is, okay, okay starts,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: but I'm not sure you did anything great yet.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Well, no, trust me, if you're talking about the AP,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: the last thing I do is view myself as anything
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: that those people think. We did our own top 25,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: and we had Duke and Wake Forest.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wake too, yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you've watched Wake Forest play this year,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, Gio Lopez is a really good player. I
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: love their coach. They play really hard. They play Miami,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: lost by 13, but that game was super competitive, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: they really had kind of a chance at the end.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Duke's been taking care of business. Nate Shepard, like you mentioned,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: is an absolute problem. Have they played anybody fantastic yet?
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: But you beat Illinois. You've beaten Tulane. You've done the
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: things you need to do. So we give the ACC
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of credit when it comes to our show. And, look,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I know a couple voters that didn't even have Miami
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: for back-to-back weeks in their top 25. So the ACC
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: is wide open right now. I'm going to see what
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: happens when Louisville is kind of– you didn't want to
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: see that, to be honest, because a lot of people
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: had them kind of that second-team– You know, maybe making
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: a playoff and playing Miami in the ACC championship. So, look,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: there's teams, if you watch them play, which I don't
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: think the AP voters do most of the time, that
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: belong in the top 25. And to me, that's Duke
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: and Wake Forest.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Blaine, who has surprised you the most this year in
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: a good way from what you felt when the season began?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Who surprised you in a positive way? And who's kind
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: of in that uh-oh category? They're not what we thought
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: they were. Not just ACC, SEC, but just overall.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, overall right now, I mean, I could sit
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: here and say Florida, but I feel like that'd be
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: an easy out. I'd probably say UCLA. I think UCLA
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: and Bob Chessie, this is why hiring matters so much.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: This is why if you can get the right guy nowadays,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: the immediate culture shift that can happen to your program
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: is it's like Thanos, it's a snap of a finger.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: And I think after what UCLA did to Maryland, I mean,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: the way they've been playing all year, the way Nico's
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: come along, the way that team's kind of gelling, if
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: you go look at that schedule for UCLA, they can
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: make a real run, you know, and have a real chance.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: The two teams that are on the other side of that,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: to me, are definitely Oklahoma and Texas A & M.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Started with Oklahoma, it's just sooner or later, You know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: everyone thought John Mateer was going to be the guy.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: If he's not the guy, you've got to put somebody
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: else in because it's a disaster. Not only did Georgia
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: just beat you, but you also beat yourself, which can happen.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: And you just gave a two-year extension to Brent Venables.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: And I know on that defense, if someone made multiple
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: mistakes like that, Brent would bench him. So you have
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: to keep the same energy for your quarterback. And then
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Texas A & M, I mean, what a disaster. Kentucky
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: bullies you. Texas A & M, LSU takes you to
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: the woodshed. Wasn't even close. You looked like a soft
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: football team. You looked like a bad football team. And
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: with all that money that you have, You know, that's
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: inexcusable to me for a Mike Yelko kick to the pulpit.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the A & M one, Bone, I feel like
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: we were talking about in the summer.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Like, they had a weird, easy SEC schedule.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: When the top 25 came out, we all said, hey,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: they're going to be the one that's the most apt.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: They had the weird, easy SEC schedule last year, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: this year they didn't. But the Oklahoma one, I bought
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: in totally. I feel like a complete moron. I totally believe, Blaine,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the whole, oh, John Mateer wasn't the same quarterback late
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: in the season because of the injury.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Well, what's his excuse now, man?
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Like those turnovers against Georgia, this dude is way too
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: experienced of a quarterback to be turning the ball.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: It's like horrible, man. It really is.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: No, it's almost to the point where like, hey, man,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: let me check your betting slip. I need to know.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I need to know because you're like that guy from
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: the longest chart. You shouldn't have ate that popcorn. So
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I think it needs to be a complete rehaul of
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: the offense. And this is another thing in like NIL
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and transfer portal. why it makes it so important to
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: have a backup quarterback that's worth something, you know, that
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: you can stick in and look at Dylan Viola. That
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: was huge. You know, go beat USC. I saw Landon
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Clark get some good snaps. So, I mean, you're watching
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Michael Hawkins put up 40 points a game right now
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: at West Virginia, and you got a guy with Burger
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: King hands who can't hold on to the ball.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It's crazy, man. It really is.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I tell you, there's never not a reference that the
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Crane brothers make. Oh, the Crane brothers come in just
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: stocked with references, man. God bless you guys. Oh, my
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: goodness gracious.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: God bless you guys.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It is Crane and Cone. Check those boys out. It's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: college football talk. It's college football passion.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: It's humor.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Man, it is good stuff. Crane boys aren't involved in
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that Auburn thing. That, that Auburn information sharing scandal. You
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: guys are clean on that, right?
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we're clean. I mean, what information are you
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: giving out?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: We're bad at football.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Like I don't understand what you're giving out. So, you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: but Hey, if that's happening, that means, you know, there
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: might be still something there. I'm actually on the other side.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I should be interrogating him in the next couple of days.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: We'll figure it out.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Not a good sign for Auburn when the other schools
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: are like, hey, you got a guy sending us info.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: My favorite part is that a bunch of schools sent
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the stuff back to Auburn and was like, hold on now.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is me. We don't need this.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: We're not good enough for the other teams to even
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: take the information.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You're recruiting Intel? We don't want to figure out how
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you get those players. Oh, man.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, look, we're not recruiting this guy. Trust me,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: y'all can have him.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: All right. Oh, that one cracks me up. All right, brother,
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: be good, man. Keep up the good work.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: See you, fellas. Y'all have a great week.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: All right, man, thanks. There you go.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a former Auburn employee has been arrested for sharing information,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: secret recruiting information from Auburn to 11 different schools, rivals,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I assume SEC schools. And, yeah, the On3 report says
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: several schools sent the stuff back and informed them, hey.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: This is being sent to us. I think you lost
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: something here.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. That's funny. That is definitely funny.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: All righty.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Are we doing a Phitty update? We got someone else
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: here before we get to it. We'll get to it
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: in a second here. The guys are chomping at the bit.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Let's read some of these texts here real quick, though.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Let's not give Phitty the full five minutes, Bone.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: Of airtime.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: That's also a good plan.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see what else we have going on on the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: text line. Let's see. Myron, Myron is incredulous. He says,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: excuse me, UNC has a better chance to compete against
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Is this guy drinking this morning?
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: His assessment of Billy Edwards Jr., I disagreed with that.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: You think he was too?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: So you're another Tar Heel fan that's like, dude, don't
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: talk that good about us.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: Well, he said that we're balanced. I don't know.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: We don't run a lot of plays because we don't
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: hold the ball that long. And he said he could
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: push the football down the field. If that's the case,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: we'd be 3-0. Yeah, I don't think he was comparing
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: him more to Tate Reynolds versus Miami.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Tate Reynolds today.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Is a better quarterback than Billy Edwards Jr.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: He beat him.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: And overcame a 14-point deficit to do so.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an experience. Tate is way more talented.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Like you can see, I think you can see he's
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a good quarterback at some point. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: think I also wonder too, is, is part of the
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: thinking and bone, you came up with this question. This
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: is probably a good one to toss out tomorrow on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the show. Like who has a better chance of competing
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and not getting embarrassed Clemson or Carolina. Maybe part of
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the thinking is likes Miami more than Notre Dame. Miami
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: is certainly, Bone, shown to be more explosive than Notre Dame.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I think they're both really good. Notre Dame's defense is
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: clearly better, but Miami has a level of explosiveness to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: where if Clemson's defense from the LSU game shows up, Bone,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to get ugly, even with the
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Miami skill guy injuries.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: And Miami's defense still to me, they've got to prove
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: something to me, but I don't know if Clemson's offense
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: will be enough to exploit them in this game.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: How about this?
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Clemson, depending on where you look, is either 16, and
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: a half point or 17 point underdogs at home. This
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: marks the first time in Dabo's 19 year head coaching
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: career that he's a double digit underdog at home. It's
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: also the largest spread Dabo's ever had at any venue ever.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: They went seven years back from 16 to 23. where
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: they were not an underdog at home one time. They've
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: been an underdog at home, by the way, in Dabo's
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: career three times. And now it's a three-score galore against them. Yes.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It says a lot to Miami, but it also, to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: your point, says a lot about where Clemson is now
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: compared to where they used to be. And Dabo now, Bone,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard him yesterday, he's trying
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: to pump his guys up. Before the season, they were
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a bunch of nobodies. We're a bunch of nobodies going
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: into LSU. And that didn't work, right?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Well, yesterday he said Miami's got dudes, but we got–
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: he says they got Sunday dudes, but we got Sunday
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: dudes too. He said it's going to be dudes on
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: dudes on Saturday night. And it's like, bro, you just
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: said there were nobodies a few weeks ago. Like, you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: beat Carolina and Cal, and now all of a sudden
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you've got Sunday dudes galore?
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Here's the problem.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: With Sunday dudes.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Miami currently has the Sunday dudes that are starting in
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the NFL. You have Sunday dudes that are hanging out
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: there watching the– you still have NFL players, but right
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: now for this particular team, your Sunday dudes might be
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: watching the Miami Sunday dudes from the sides.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, hell, last year, how many draft picks they
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: had last year? Like nine?
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was exactly not.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Last year's team had more Sunday players than this year's team,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like. So anyway, it has also been pointed
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: out to me, dudes on dudes does sound rather amusing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: If you're not as mature as we are, it sounds amusing.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: All right, Fit Dog, give us an update here, kid.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: It's time for you to shine. Somebody said Fitty is right.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Billy Edwards is trash. God, that TCU win. You'll always
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: have TCU fit with Billy Edwards.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mac.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: This update brought to you by our good friends at
• 31:57

• 32:09
  Speaker 1: 704-334-9934.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Mack, you brought up in the opening of the show,
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: didn't want to shout out Caitlin Clark.
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: Great performance last night.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: 27.15 assist performance to force a game three as the
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Fever beat the Aces.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: And they'll look to, what, that's the best of three series?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, decisive game three is Thursday night for the Fever.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see Kaitlin Clark advance in his playoffs.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I know the WNBA would like to see Kaitlin Clark
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: advance in the playoffs.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: And what the number one seed, Minnesota, they're out of
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: this thing, right?
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: They got upset, right?
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: I saw that correctly.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, you lost me. I only watched the Fever.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: He's got a fever.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: I just got exposed.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Mac only watches the Fever.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. I just got exposed, Vinny. Is that true?
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Holy crap.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I got an update from the NBA app about it.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Okay. How about that, y'all?
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: No offense to Olivia Miles and the links there, but
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I kind of just lock in on those fever games only.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: My favorite updates are when we try to figure out
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: what exactly happened while the update's going on.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: We discover. It's like we update ourselves. That's why our
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: updates are different, Bone. We discover it with you. When
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: we come back, we have found something.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: The Panthers rank first in fan game day eating and drinking.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: We share the absolutely glorious survey results next on Sports
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Shout out to Scott and Belmont,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: who's currently in a dust-up with Bone on the text line.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Bone, I love your dust-ups, Boney. I'm not going to lie.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: I've been doing better lately. I know, I've been missing them.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: He said that I'm a Gamecock fan and I'm asking
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: questions about Clemson playing Miami and Notre Dame playing... UNC.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: I have done nothing, by the way, but trash the
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Gamecocks now for multiple weeks.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: So you've turned.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I asked about the Gamecocks a question before. So I
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: get mad when people don't listen fully and assume stuff.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Like I've been I've been harsh on the Gamecocks. What
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: are you talking about? What are we doing here? I've
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: been railing on Shane Beamer for weeks now. What are
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: we doing here, Scott? He's worried you're emotional today, Bone.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: He wants you to calm down. No, then he's a
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: texter that says something. And then if I reply, he goes,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: all right. Like a coward.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: To your respect. Like a coward.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: C-O-oward.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: That was cool the way you did that, man.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I kind of got stuck there for a minute.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: You know, Mac, his behavior going after South Carolina fans
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: or going after Shane Beamer in the program.
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: Could be the type of behavior you see.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: From a Florida fan because they were rivals at one
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: point back in the day when Spurrier first came back
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: to South Carolina.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: Now Finney's going to make Bone mad. Hey, Bone alone.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, hold on a minute now. Hold on a minute now, Cheeks.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Where is Tennessee Finney?
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: He's here. What about Michigan Fitty? Michigan Fitty.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: Michigan Fitty's gone with Harbaugh's khakis.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: I gotta be honest.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure why I called you Cheeks there.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: I just kind of threw it out there.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Well, you told me my head was like a butt
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: cheek one time, so it made sense. But I meant
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: that like, I didn't mean like a nasty butt cheek.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: That's because we use dude wipes now.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Now we got Will and Concord's coming after Indiana Fever
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Mac now.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: What?
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Everybody's coming after different versions of Mac.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Mac's got a fever. He says Mac needs to, and
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the only prescription is more Caitlin. Was that cool or no? No?
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: More Sophie?
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Maybe?
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Mark Kelsey?
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I could listen to Matt B. Christopher walking all day.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Anyway, the texter says, Will from Concord, Matt needs to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: correct himself. He only locks in on fever wins. When
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the Aces blew the fever out in game one and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the whole team couldn't hit the broad side of the barn,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: we didn't hear a P for him.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: That was NFL day, sir. How was NFL Day? Fever
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Mac took the night.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Off and apparently the team did as well. And I'm
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: still not sure that the Fever are going to win
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the series on Thursday. But anyway, all right, let's lock
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in on this Panther stuff because we don't need to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: delay this anymore. We finally have good... I don't know.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this news is worth. But we
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: have something we rank very highly in, Panther fans. I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: want you to know this. The Action Network surveyed over
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: 3,000 NFL fans on game day drinking and eating habits.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panther fans lead the NFL. for estimated game day
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: calorie consumption. We are the biggest game day pigs, Bone,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So we may have just
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: lost to the Browns in a butt-ugly game and have
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: 1,400 injuries, but y'all are pigging out like no other.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: On game day. How does everybody feel about this?
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I'm at the doghouse, and there's a lot of people
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: down there eating and drinking.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: How much do the overweight Cowboy fans skew the numbers
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: when they come into town? But that would go down
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: to Cowboy fan base. But is it at the stadium itself? No,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: it's just by fans. It's by specific fans. So we
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: even eat more than them. I removed my comment about
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Cowboy fans. We eat more than them piggies.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Cowboy fans. You're nice and trim and fit.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: My bad. Oh, man.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. So do we like this or not?
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: This has to feel good, right?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Like, I'm not, you know, down there in the full tailgates.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Are y'all grubbing this much, y'all? Do y'all deserve this?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Do we deserve this as a fan base? And there's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: so much more, too, Bone. In-game average, 2.74 drinks averaged
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: in-game for Panther fans, the highest in the league. So
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: we are eating more than anybody calorie-wise on game day.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: And then at the game, David Tepper must love this stat,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: we are buying more drinks than than any other fan
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: base well that that certainly makes a lot of sense
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: stress drinking is it all stress drinking and stress eating
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: is that what we're doing here in carolina um what
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: else here there's more pre-game average okay so now we
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: have the pre-game average 1.71 pre-game pre-game drinks per panther
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: fan that's the second highest in the league I.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Don't know who beats us out for that one, Bone.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: How much is the doghouse responsible for this? Good promotion, though,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: isn't it? Oh, my God. Y'all set some numbers at
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: the WFNZ doghouse.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: How bloated are Panther fans leaving Bank of America Stadium
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: every week? All this eating, all this drinking. Okay, here's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: another one, too. um in-game heavy drinking um 16.7 percent
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: um hot dogs 1.55 hot dogs per game of the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: average now this has this got to be small sample
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: because you the average fan is not ordering one and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: a half hot dogs is he at a game this
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: has to be you just sampled a lot of hot
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: dog eaters but that's third highest in the nfl so
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: we are eating that kind of hot dogs, calories, drinking.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Does this translate to wins? Sirwine says he drank 42
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: beers last game.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, so he maybe skewed that. If he's in the survey,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: he will skew that a little higher. Let me tell
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you something right now. What's the margin of error on this?
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: I need to know.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: It also says 54% of the Panther fans surveyed eat
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: two or more hot dogs per game.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: At that prices? At those prices? You would think that.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Atlanta fans would have, because the price.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Is down there.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's cheaper there, man.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: I wonder where they were on this list, because their
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: hot dogs are like $ 3. They don't seem to attend
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: football games. They don't do that. That's a good point.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Listen, I know Braves Max showed up earlier, and Braves
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: fans weren't happy with me. My Orioles aren't in it.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the game, the drama, and I'm fired
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: up to watch today's game at 2. But I do
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: need to say this, Bone. Speaking of Atlanta sports fans...
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: They announced a crowd of 30,000 yesterday. I know it's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: a day game and stuff, but we've seen this before
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: with the Braves fan base. We know we've seen it
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: with the Falcons and the Hawks, but we've seen this
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs with Braves fans before. That's like 10
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: or 11,000 empties.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it's just because it's a Tuesday during
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: the day, but yeah, that's interesting.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: It's not a good look for Atlanta. We know it's
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: not the greatest sports city in the world, but that's
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of empties for game one. Against a team
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: you can't stand that always beats you in the playoffs
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to get revenge against?
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: That's 4,000. He said 30,000 yesterday, right? Yeah, yeah. That's
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: 4,500 below the regular season attendance average.
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and their average is top 10. I think it's
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: like 10th, exactly. Sixth. Oh, it's six. I have six
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: right here. That would be top ten, too, though.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Good. Good.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: I'm safe. I'm safe. All right. What are people saying
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: about us eating and drinking tons? 704-5709-610.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: The numbers went up when Phitty joined the feds. Stop
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: that right now.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: All right. Do you think the cow Phitty?
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Did the Cowboys used to be number one in all
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: these eating categories and then they shifted?
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: With 50?
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Someone says, how does Granny Pat skew these numbers with
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the drinking?
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe she was surveyed and they're a little off kilter.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Kevin says they're not counting the tailgates. Well, they break
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: it down between pregame drinking. and in-game drinking it appears
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: y'all that you are kicking ass in both areas just
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: be safe y'all any.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: One of our listeners get surveyed in this.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah it's true it's a very like it's only
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: 3,000 like 70 fans surveyed so how many panther fans
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: did they get on average that is what bone no
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: 100 fans per or 10?
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: I can't figure it out. What's the math on that?
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm drinking.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: 10 would be 300. So it's like 100. It comes
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: out on average of about 100 fans per. That's a
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: decent sample size, though, I guess.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Alex in Steel Creek says the game was at
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: 2 p.m. on a Tuesday.
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: Buckeye hitter said, I quit being a jackass for calling out.
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: How empty the stadium was. Braves and Mack not being
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: accepted by the Braves fans.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's really not. And I don't really care, Fitty.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed. I just barge into
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: every damn fan base I want.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, we know. I don't ask for permission. Because if
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: I did, I'd get no permission.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: You enter fan bases like you're Cosmo Kramer entering a room.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: This dude said, Mack just showed his true colors. Tries
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: to act like a Braves fan, but he's an Atlanta hater.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: Eh, kind of true. But I do want the Braves
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: to win it all, though. I do, y'all. I just
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: want more of y'all to show up down there.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I've got my own rooting interest in this whole thing.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're involved.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't know what that feels like. Also, I didn't
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: really love seeing Uncle Donnie take a loss yesterday, either.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I didn't love that yesterday.
• 43:13
