Mac & Bone - Weekend Conclusions · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Today, we really played well for three quarters and then
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: didn't play well enough in the fourth quarter.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And we stalled on some offensive drives. I felt we
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: had them on the ropes and didn't finish. So we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: had to go back and figure out why that was.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I think once that happened, I may sustain some drives
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and then convert those four downs, kept us on the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: field on defense and And then certainly had a chance
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to kick the field goal to make it a two-score
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: game and didn't do that. So, yeah, this one hurts.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And I think that was the message to the guys
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. We won the first three quarters
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and did not obviously win the fourth quarter. And we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: know that that's the biggest part of the season.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We have to win the.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Fourth quarter, especially on the road. So, you know, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: can't really sit here and tell you exactly. I know
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: why that happened. But, you know, we all got to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: take accountability and get this thing corrected and fixed.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Ryan Day. The haters are back, by the way. The
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: haters are back. Ryan Day bought a little bit of goodwill, Bo. Obviously,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: with a national championship run. But you can't blow a
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: 20-point lead in a game like that and not get
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the blowback.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And he's feeling it.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And listen, in the playoff era, Bone, I mean, I
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: don't think it took away from the atmosphere of the game.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, big college football games to me are still great.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think it takes away from the atmosphere and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the excitement of these games. But obviously, both teams, there
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: could be a rematch in the playoffs at some point.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But that is a horrendous way to lose a football game.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I say this, Bone, being very happy that the hated Buck,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: that a team I can't stand, did that. And I
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: like it for Arch Manning. He seems like a genuine
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: good kid. and he has not really had that moment yet, Bone.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, I do think I like the way he
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: rebounded a bit late in the season last year, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I still think he's been kind of more last name,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: you know, than substance to this point. And the way
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: he drove them back, the way he improvised and made
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: things happen, the way he hit big-time passes on fourth
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: down over and over and over again, I love it
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for Arch, and I love it for the Buckeyes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Buckeye fans.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you talk about maybe the trajectory of a
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: program changing in one quarter, we were looking at maybe
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the end of Sark and all of a sudden they
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: get that win. And it's amazing, Mac, how fast a
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: team can go from looking like changes will have to
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: be made to, oh, Texas found something now, and can
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: they continue that momentum? As of right now, Matt, they
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: still have one, two, three, four. Texas still has seven
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: ranked games on their schedule, so we're going to see
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: a lot more big games out of Texas, but now
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: they've got confidence in beating Ohio State, which they didn't
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: have last year.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: And Ohio State's schedule, Bone, is pretty tough by their
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: usual standards.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Although we don't know about Oregon, no doubt.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But the Oregon game doesn't look like the big, horrible
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: game that it was before the season. My God, I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: telling you, Bone, I have not... The last two years,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: my national championship picks, and we'll see. Oregon's not dead yet,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: but the defense certainly looks like it's not national championship good.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And their offensive line, my God.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: My two national title picks the last two years, Clemson
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: loses week one, and Oregon almost loses week one this
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: year and loses in week two.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Rough starts. You and Brandon Walker both lost your champions.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And last year, Brandon Walker had Penn State and Clemson
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: in the championship game, like I did.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I was going to say. I've got Notre Dame-Miami. I'm
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: holding strong so far. Good start to the season for you, man.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Mack, who lost containment worse over the weekend? The Panthers
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: trying to contain the Bears and Caleb Williams? Or Holly
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Rowe trying to contain Steve Sarkeesian in the postgame interview?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: see he was not happy with something going he had
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: to wait a while or something i don't know what.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Was going on he i missed this thing because i
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: turned it all i turned that game off went to
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: other stuff like immediately but i saw that it went
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: viral or whatever looked like it was all i.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Saw the next morning was everybody talking about sarkeesian running
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: away from holly.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Road i can you believe the buck guys bone uh
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: the buck guys left uh in the early fourth quarter
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: two in the.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, just left. Just stop playing. It's a long flight
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: back to Columbus. That kicker, too.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: That poor kicker had a chance to put the game over,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and even he gagged.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Even he was feeling the pressure, man. Oh, my God.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Matt, can we talk about Akron this weekend? Why are
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: we talking Akron here? In conclusion, it was their home
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: opener against Robert Morris, where they had the fan that
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: won the contest that was allowed to call the first
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: series in And it resulted in a fumble, Mac. The
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: guy called a nice play all the way down into
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the red zone, I believe.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I think it was.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: And Akron fumbled. But nonetheless, Joe Moorhead, the head coach
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: of Akron, gave the game ball to the fan.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Marty.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: That's your boy, Marty. I forget what his last name is.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He's a local CEO in Akron.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Joe Moorhead, the head coach, said when he
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: first heard about this idea, he thought, This is horrible.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I don't even let my coaches call plays other than me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I don't want to let a fan do this, embarrass
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: the game. Then he saw the traction. It went viral.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: And they said, this is going to generate revenue for
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: NIL and revenue sharing. And... We're the second lowest budgeted
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: team in all FBS. Now Joe Moorhead is all completely in.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Now Joe Moorhead says, hey, let a fan call every
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: damn play. Here's the deep philosophical. Can a fan call
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: the Panthers defense?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Here's the question.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: They had one doing that yesterday.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. The text line.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: The text liners should get the call of defense one week.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I never knew.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: We had so many brilliant defensive minds out there on
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the text line.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: What a lucky show we are. But anyway. Did you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: see Canals back there? Our defense has fun, Matt Martin.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Come on to play. So here's the question, Bone. Here's
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the question. Are we blaming... the coach or the player
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: for fumbling? Are we blaming the play caller bone, Marty
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: and the Arby's hat? Or I guess, I guess their
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: play caller was sponsored by Arby's.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: That was kind of weird. Are we blaming Marty to
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: play caller bone? Are we blaming the player? Is he scheme?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Marty had them moving. Marty's play calling had them moving
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: on that first series. I think that was a player
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: letting the play caller down. You know how the college
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: sports are.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: How long until Wayne Kiffin back hires Marty to his staff?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: As a senior advisor.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Bro, considering they were leading 13-7 at the half against
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Louisiana Tech, he might do it any minute now. But
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: was that not the perfect lead-in, by the way, to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the Ole Miss game for Lane Kiffin?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Like, they were asleep at the wheel. The....
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Louisiana Tech had negative yards in the first half, but
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: was only down six, 13-7, because of a pick six
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that was thrown in the end zone. It was like
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a 100-yard pick six. But Lane Kiffin, after the game,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: was able to say, oh, they believed all their hype.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get their attention last week. Couldn't tell them. Like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: that's the perfect lead-in for the Mississippi showdown. Because he's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: going to rip the crap out of them, and they're
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: listening now.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: That is going to.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Be the primetime game. It's a pretty good weekend, Mac,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: all the way through of games. That's going to be
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: the headliner. John Talti will join us tomorrow for... who
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: just wrote the book that's actually out tomorrow on Lane Kiffin.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: So we're looking forward to that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: By the way, LSU Mackers, as I struggle to speak here, LSU,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I believe, opened as a– yes, LSU is the favorite
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: at Oxford. by three points three points road favorite all
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: right there you have it there you have it man
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: um virginia west virginia here at the bank.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: That's right a little duke's mayo game at the bank
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: um what are west virginia fans gonna do with duke's
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: mayo i mean i can't i shudder to think bone
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: what partying west virginia fans may do with the sponsor's
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: product that's.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: The ultimate contradiction back of fan behavior i could see
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: virginia fans back taking a little dollop of mayonnaise and.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: A little dollop of daisy. Not bad. West Virginia fans. Oh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: it's Dukes. They're going to end up with all over
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: their heads.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: How disgusted are Virginia fans going to be by the
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: behavior of West Virginia? In their dockers with the sweaters
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: tied around their necks.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. They're heathens, Buffy. They're heathens.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: What did I want to say? Charlotte. So Ole Miss
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: is coming in, Bo. Ole Miss is coming into this
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: game as underdogs against Lane Kiffin off a 41-9 win
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: against Charlotte. I don't know how Niner fans felt watching
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that game. I know how one did. AC was texting
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: me about that game, and he said, man, I feel
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: better about this team, the fight they showed. But when
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: they came out in the third quarter, moved the football
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: multiple times. Now, they couldn't finish drives. They kept having
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to settle for field goals. They actually got a couple
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: stops there in the third quarter as well. I thought
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: they acquitted themselves pretty darn well, considering they got lit
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: up defensively bone the week before and could not tackle
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: a running back for the Citadel. I thought that was
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a pretty good performance. Now, we'll see. Does it carry over?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Does it give them a little bit of confidence for
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: this App State game? I still don't know what to
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: fully expect. I'll say this about the defense, too, of Charlotte.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: That kid, Gavin Willis, number 13, was absolutely all over
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: the field. He was absolutely playing like a man with
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: his hair on fire. Two and a half tackles for loss,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: seven total tackles against that group of players. I thought
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Charlotte fans could hold their heads certainly higher. this week
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: than the first week, I think. Yeah, then they have
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Louisiana and Memphis after that. So I was wondering maybe.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Louisiana just scored 30 on USC, so I don't know.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: They lost 49-30 to the Trojans, but I'm trying to
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: figure out where wins may come from on the schedule.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: They certainly did not get demolished as bad as we thought,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: but I can't see them winning against this app team.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm rooting for them to get a few.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to— unless Mac— Third to last game of
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: the year, Charlotte once again gets the East Carolina Pirates.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: What could go wrong for the Pirates this year?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. We've already seen what can go wrong.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Where did Salty Pirate go?
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Salty Pirate is hanging out with the Ohio State fans.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: There's a party involving ECU fans and Ohio State fans. And, well, honestly,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Panther fans should have gotten an invite. Where's my invite, fellas?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: We should have gotten an invite, too. is your over
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: is hanging out there too bone everybody to have rough
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: weekends is hanging out together uh 704-570-9610 if you want
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to jump in here if you have comments about college
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: football we're throwing our final college football conclusions out there.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: People are coming uh coming forward including bagel guy that
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: they also won money off picante's picks this weekend.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Picante's a machine man He's a damn machine, and he
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: makes picks that you're like, the Nebraska one I definitely
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: liked when he made that one. Nebraska, because Bowling Green
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: lost to Tarleton State the week before. Nebraska routed Bowling
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Green this week. The faith in the Oklahoma State-Oregon over-under. Like,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: he still kind of had faith in Oklahoma State's offense.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He did. I don't know how he did that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: And Drew Mestemaker, after looking really bad the week before,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: goes out there and has 426 total yards. And John
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Elway helicopters his way into the damn end zone.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Crazy i mean like i didn't know he had wheels
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: like that he had one down the sideline where he
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: was just i mean.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: They said he ran for more yards in that game
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: they did all last season ran for 100 plus yards
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: who was trying to chase him the panthers defense 704
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: number says i have a conclusion you guys owe me
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: and all the michigan fans in charlotte an apology.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe I think the whole country, though, probably owes you
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: an apology then.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I thought that game said a lot more about what
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma isn't capable of being.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Everyone knew Michigan was going to bounce back and play inspired.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I've tried to defend Mateer, but, Mac.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: He was bad. He got no hand injury. That interception
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: at the end was brutal, man.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Horrible. In a game like that where you're 10-10, it's
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a defensive struggle, and any turnover in your territory can
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: mean ballgame. Why are you trying to force that thing
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: in there? And the guy runs it back to the doorstep.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: And they score a touchdown. Yeah, I'm off the Mateer
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: and Oklahoma bandwagon because that offense is just challenged. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I was one of the many in the media that
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: subscribed to the fact that early season Mateer is the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: real Mateer from last year and that he just wasn't
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: right down the stretch because of his injury. You can't
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: use the injury excuse there. And you're going to have
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: to play good defenses in your SEC schedule. Their schedule
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: is brutal, by the way, in conference. I'm sorry.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: That offense is a joke. Michigan, though, showed heart. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: think we all thought, though, Bone, it would be a low-scoring,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: close game. I just didn't think Michigan would win. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think we were on here saying they were
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: going to be blown out, though. Mac, I'm also jumping
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: off the Wagner-Seahawks bandwagon.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, no. Did you see what.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Happened to them when they took on Billy Napier's James
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Madison squad this weekend? They were beaten 87-3.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Billy Naper, you Sunbelt bully, you. Back to where you belong,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: isn't it? Bro, when you give up 20—who gave up
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: all the points?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Wagner. Wagner gave up 87 points.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Was that Jack Wagner, the actor playing by himself on D?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, how could you be that bad?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Bro, when you give up a Panther spot, a Luke spot,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: plus 28, you had yourself.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: A brutal afternoon. What would the Bears do to Wagner? 59, probably.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I think we—
