Mac & Bone Hour 4: Tom Luginbill and Expectations for UNC-TCU · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: What a substitution we just made here. Coach Hoggard came
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: in and said, Marlo, you're out. Shrop is in, ladies
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: What a lazy performance drop by Fiddy today to leave
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the show at 9 just to go to the casino
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and pull the slots with the olds, pull the slot
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: machines with the olds.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's a work assignment, man. He's holding it down
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: for KB. He's running all the technical stuff for KB.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: He ran out of here today. Man, killed off his
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: grandma for State to beat, for UNC to beat State
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and ran out of here. We finally have someone here
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that loves their family working on the show over there.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: You're darn right.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: And also, he left at 9.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Like, it takes six hours to get the Cherokee in it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: So I'm a bit confused by that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: They do have six hours from now. But anyway, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Fit Dog serves him right, Bone. Fit Dog will miss
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the UNC-TCU. what the heck's going to happen segment. He
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: will miss his chance, Bone, to reiterate for the umpteenth time,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: my heels going to shock the world.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: My heels, he will miss his chance to do that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Our next guest, we can ask him if he thinks
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the Tar Heels will shock the world in Dublin.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: What do we expect in that game? What do we
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: expect in state Virginia? Uh, it's good.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, it's.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: College football where we could chat it up with our
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: friend and awesome ESPN ACC network analyst. He is Tom
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Lugan bill who joins us here on the Mac and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: bone show on a football Friday.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Luke's how you feeling, man? What's going on?
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: I'm feeling good, man. I'm I'm glad to finally start
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: talking about actual football games instead of prognosticating all the time.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We, we really, that said, Luke, what are your thoughts
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: on LSU and Lane Kiffin right now?
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: I wait, I got a question for you guys. So
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: T-bone what is up with this dog that you adopted?
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Is he like part piranha? I mean, what, what is
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: going on with Murphy?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to say it's quiet because he listens
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: via the app while I'm gone, Tom. He's a one-year-old
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: puppy named Murphy, and I may have adopted a serial killer,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to be honest. This man is vicious. He's nasty. He
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: jumped on the vacuum yesterday and took it for a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: ride while I was using it. He tried to trip
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the maintenance guy yesterday, and he ate part of a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: burrito I was eating yesterday, all within 45 minutes. What
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a day.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: That's a hat trick.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: He's a good boy. My dogs are scared. They run
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: from the vacuum. This dude just hops on top of it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That is remarkable. Yeah, Lugz, we will spare you the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: injunction talk. We will spare you the temporary restraining order talk,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and we will talk ball with you because we know
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you do it real well. What do you think about
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: TCU and Carolina? I mean, it's got to be more
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: competitive than last year, but do they have a chance
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to pull the shocker?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Can they hang in there? What do you think?
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, I think so much of it has
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: to do with what their offensive approach is going to be.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: And quite honestly and simply, you know, Bobby Petrino comes
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: in as an offensive coordinator, and everybody widely regards him
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: as being a quarterback developer and having coached great offenses.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: But at the core of the offense is running the football.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at Carolina last year, Carolina
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: could not effectively run the football consistently. But when they
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: ran the ball for 145 yards or more per game,
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: they were 3-0. Well, at Arkansas last year, there was
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: only two games where they didn't rush for at least
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: 145 yards per game. So I think you're going to
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: see a real attempt to try to maintain possession of
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: the ball, create more yards per play, And then as
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: it always does, it doesn't matter what level of football,
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: it's going to come down to what the quarterback play
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: looks like. It's Billy Edwards. Two things. Can Billy Edwards
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: stay healthy? He's been injured at Maryland. He's been injured
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: at Wisconsin. So can he stay on the field? And
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: then can they push the ball vertically coming off of
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: what I think they hope is going to be a
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: very healthy running game? Because their yards per play, third
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: down efficiency was just abysmal a year ago. That's got
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: to improve because this TCU team is going to be fast.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: They're going to be athletic. And that quarterback that they
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: got that transferred in from Harvard, Jaden Craig, he has
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: had one heck of a career to this point. I'm
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: really looking forward to seeing how he makes a jump
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: from FCS to FBS.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Loses UNC mucking this thing up, whether because the elements,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be in the 50s and raining. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the fact that the games over there can be odd,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: week zero can be odd. Are all those things in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: UNC's favor that if they could try to keep this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: thing out to a grinder, maybe that gives them a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: semblance of a chance here in this game? Yeah, maybe.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, obviously the conditions are going to
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: be the same for both teams. If it's a muddy,
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: sloppy track and it's cool and you got a slick ball,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: you know, TCU likes to amp it up. They like
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: to go fast. They want to pitch it around the lot.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: I do think that that could help maybe play into
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: the hands for UNC. I mean, personally, I'm just shocked
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: to hear that it's going to be cloudy, rainy, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: cold in Ireland.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Who saw that coming?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: That's the most predictable thing about this game, I feel like.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I looked it up yesterday. There's never been sunshine in Ireland, ever.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Never once happened. Never once happened.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Tom Lugenbill is with us, ESPN, as we preview the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: fact we got real games. We got week zero tomorrow.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I love this Virginia-NC State matchup. And when you look
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: at their schedules, Lugz, in conference in the ACC, they're
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: both schedules of opportunity.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: So this game... If you win this game, man.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Who's to say one of these teams doesn't put a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: ton of wins together and make a real run at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Charlotte here? What do you think about this matchup tomorrow?
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about those schedules because you're right. I'm
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: a big believer in who you play, when you play,
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: and where you play. All three of those things matter. Well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: for Virginia, they don't play Louisville, Miami, or Clemson. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: for NC State, they don't play SMU, Miami, or Clemson.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: which if you're going to consider both NC State and
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Virginia potential dark horse ACC championship game contenders, which I
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: think is fair, that makes this game critical because the
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: winner of this game, if they were, let's just say,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: assume not to go and screw something up and lose
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: to somebody you're not supposed to, you're talking about a
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: potential great run given their schedule. So going into this one,
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: I think you've got to lean towards NC State just
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: because the quarterback advantage with C.J. Bailey is so much
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: more proven than it's going to be with Virginia and
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Bo Pribula. Now, Bo Pribula's played pretty good football, both
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: going back to Penn State and Missouri, but he's also
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: been hurt a lot. And so he doesn't have the
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: level of experience of C.J. Bailey, who I think is
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: not just one of the premier players in the ACC.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: I think he's one of the premier quarterbacks in all
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: of college football. And for NC State, they're going to
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: run the football behind Duke Scott. They got some incoming
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: transfers in at the offensive skill. The thing that I'm
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: concerned about with NC State that has to get corrected
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: from a year ago to this year is they've got
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: to come up with a way of getting off the
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: field on third down defensively and limiting defensive explosive plays.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: That was their Achilles heel a year ago on defense.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: For Virginia, the thing that's so interesting about them guys
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: is you could make an argument that nobody in college
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: football hit on a higher rate of their transfer portal
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: guys panning out than Virginia did a year ago. Now,
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: they had a great schedule last year, too, but every
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: guy they went out and targeted panned out. Can they
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: duplicate that this year? I don't want to call them
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: a flash in the pan. I don't think that's true.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: I think they've shifted the narrative of their program. They've
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: got confidence now, and they've got access to better players.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: But they're going to have to do that again. They're
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: going to have to hit on Ja'Kale Middlebrooks coming over
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: from Middle Tennessee State, who's replacing another transfer in Jamari
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Taylor last year at running back. I think they're going
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: to be good in the offensive line. But can Bo
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Pribula be a difference maker for him? Because Chandler Morris
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: last year was a difference maker for Virginia. Oh, yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They got that money donation last year and they utilize
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it to the best as they could. So you're right
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: on that. So it's Wugs. Obviously, Miami is at the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: forefront of playoff contenders for the ACC. How many other
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: teams you view as teams that can be in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: mix or make the college football playoff from the ACC?
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Louisville, SMU, Clemson, and probably NC State. I think all
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: of those teams are legitimate contenders. I'm, to be honest
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: with you, and I understand, you know, coming off of
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: last year and the skepticism, but you're going to tell
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: me that Clemson doesn't have top 25 talent to be
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: ranked preseason? Give me a break. Like, I mean... Clemson,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: I think the best thing that's happened to them is
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: nobody's talking about them. Like they're just lying in the weeds.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: And so that is a reset for them. And I
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: think it's going to play in their favor. But I
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: do think, you know, Louisville, if their quarterback pans out,
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: they're going to be really good. But the thing about
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Louisville that's interesting is for three years in a row,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Jeff Brom went out and got a fifth, sixth-year, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: seventh-year guy to play quarterback who came in with a
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: lot of experience. This year, he goes and gets the
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Ohio State transfer in Lincoln Kienholz, who virtually has no experience.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: So that kid's going to have to grow up fast.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: And then, of course, Kevin Jennings at SMU is special,
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: and I think they've got a team that can tend
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: to get back to the ACC championship game as well.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: That battle for No.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: 2 in the ACC is very interesting, and my God.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Do you think the ACC gets two playoff teams, or
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: are you concerned that this is a one-bid league this year?
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, potentially.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: I think so much of it depends on how many
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: teams finish with two or fewer losses. If you find
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: yourself and you're in the ACC championship game and you
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: happen to be a one-loss team or an undefeated team,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: and the loser of that game is still likely to
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: potentially get in– And again, that's also impacted by what's
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: going on around the rest of college football. And so
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Is it a two-game threshold? Is it a three-game threshold
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: in terms of losses that would put you in or
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: keep you out? That's what makes this 12-team playoff so
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: interesting is it puts us in a position to pay
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: attention to games in the month of November that maybe
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: in years past you wouldn't have paid much attention to.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Miami has a national title contender. How high up the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: list are they of those? Most of us think seven
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: teams or so that are viewed as the main contenders.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: How high up is Miami among those teams for you?
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I think they're a top five to seven team. I
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: really do. My concern with Miami is if they get
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: caught up in reading the off-season press clippings, that worries
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: me a little bit. there's been a lot of attaboys,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: a lot of pats on the back, right? And, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: you bring in Darian Mensah, you bring in Cooper Barcake,
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: you got to rebuild the offensive line to some degree
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: and to the defensive line to some degree as well.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: I still think that their talent, when you combine their
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: high school recruiting development and the guys they've brought into
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: the portal is top 10 overall talent nationally, regardless of conference.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: So I think they're legitimate. If the quarterback pans out
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: and that team still has a chip and they're hungry,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: there's no question that they could find themselves back in
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: the mix.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Lugz, you mentioned Clemson, at least in the group, that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: could contend for second place and a playoff in the ACC.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about their quarterback situation. Vazina is the incumbent veteran,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: but they've got this young, talented dual threat in Tate
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Reynolds who's been pushing him hard. In camp, you're a
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: recruiting guru, the recruiting authority at ESPN. So you are
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: more familiar with Tate Reynolds than the rest of us.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Do you think this is a season where Vizina can
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: start all year, or do you think at some point
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Tate Reynolds is in there?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Well, the fact that they have not named a starter
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: tells you how close this is. I was at their
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: practice two Fridays ago for the ACC Network. And that
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: is a very tightly contested competition. I think that Clemson
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: has been pleasantly surprised with the maturity and the mental
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: aspect of Tate Reynolds, because oftentimes that's the biggest concern
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: with freshman quarterbacks. Are they ready? Can they handle what's
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: going on? Now, if you saw him physically, he looks
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: like a redshirt junior. I mean, he is a big, athletic,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: physical kid, can make all the throws. But the fact
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: that they haven't made a decision tells me that if
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: they go with Vizina, that kid better play really good.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Because if he doesn't, that other kid's going to be
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: ready to take over. And listen, this is a team
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: where they've got wideouts. They're going to be good at
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: running back. That SMU transfer in Chris Johnson Jr. is
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: really explosive. You could make an argument that they've got
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: the best corner, the best linebacker, and the best edge
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: rusher in the conference. And so I think that they're
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: a team that if the quarterback plays well and listen,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: let's just call it what it is. When Clemson started
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: to decline, it was when they made errors at the
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: quarterback position. And you fix that. It's kind of interesting
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: how all of a sudden that cures all woes. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: so if they get that right with this team, Clemson
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: could be a problem.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Lugz, real quick, I know we've got to let you go.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Gamecocks are getting a little playoff hype as a contender.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Some people think they could have a season like two
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Are you buying that?
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: If they fix the issues in the offensive line, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I think that they have, and the quarterback can get in.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: I love the quarterback system marriage. I think Kendall Briles,
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: what he brings, he's going to accentuate the strengths of
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: of Lenora sellers. And in that offense does a nice
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: job of doing the same thing at the same time.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: And that's mask the deficiencies. And they've got difference makers
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: in the defensive front schedules, brutal, of course. See, I
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: think there's a lot of teams and in Oklahoma, it's
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: another team like this, where you look at their team,
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: you're going where that team could be like 11 and one,
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: 10 and two. And then you look at the schedule
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: and you're like, they could be that type of team
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: and finish eight and four or nine and three. And
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: so I think you've got a lot of teams that
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: are going to be better than what they were a
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: year ago. How they manage the schedule will determine the
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: overall record.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: All right, Lugz, great talking to you, man. Cannot wait
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: for the real games tomorrow. Appreciate you, brother, and thanks
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: for coming on.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: As always, Lugz.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Have a good one, guys.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Lugz.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: All right, be good.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: That is Tom Luganbill. Something interesting. Lugz just sounds like football.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That voice. If a football could talk, it'd be Luganbill.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: He'd be the voice of the pigskin.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Something that I did not see coming happen, Bone, during
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: that segment, multiple West Virginia fans said, Just started texting in,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: calling out Virginia.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: For week three. We're in week zero.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: They're already calling it out about the Dukes-Mayo game here
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: in Charlotte. Dollar Bills has gone straight complainer in chief.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: He has sent about eight straight texts ripping Virginia.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: That the ACC wishes they took West Virginia years ago. Matt,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: can I say something about that real quick?
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You mean from 2019 and now the team that's gone 5-7, 6-4, 6-7, 5-7, 9-4, 6-7, 4-8. Look,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I respect the hell out of them. My dad went
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to school in the state of West Virginia. I know
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: about the history, the tradition. They're a great football program historically,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: but I don't really think West Virginia in the last
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: seven years or so is going to put the ACC
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: at another level based off what they've done in the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Big 12.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: No, I do think it would be easier to recruit
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: in the ACC because it would be more regional.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I think you're trying to sell.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: You're a school in West Virginia, but you're playing games
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: against all those teams.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: It's kind of one of Maryland's problems as well is
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that it's not a great conference for themselves.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you don't fit regionally in your conference, it
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: does affect recruiting. I will say this, and I don't
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: want to do this to Dollar Bills or the guy
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: with the 704 number earlier that was a West Virginia
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: fan calling out the Hoos. Like, y'all are a great,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: passionate fan base. That'll be a fun game here, right?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: That is a fun, you're right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: That's the word. That's a fun matchup. Like, khakis first.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: What did we call it? Didn't we have a name
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: for it before?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Khakis versus chronic was that it what do we call
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: this thing khakis versus couches that's what it was chronic
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: is apparently what happened to to uh complainer in chief
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: uh in his segment more on that later someone.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Said someone said i can't say i'm not gonna say
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: it i'm not gonna say it back We're not going
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to say khakis versus cavities.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Khakis versus cavities. Hey, if you have cavities, at least
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: it means you have a tooth.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: That's good. That's good.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I'll beat Mac today. Here's what I was going to say, though. Sorry,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Dollar Bills, the West Virginia fan. You aren't academically good
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: enough as a school for the ACC to want you. Like,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: that's the problem. That has always been the problem, as
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I understand it, with West Virginia. It is a regional fit.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Their fan base is real passionate. They care about their sports.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: But academics-wise, it isn't up to the ACC standard. I
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: don't mind a little back and forth, though, with West Virginia,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Virginia fan. When is that game, by the way? Let's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: bring it on, baby. Week three.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right now, Virginia fans are being very uppity right
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: now towards West Virginia fans.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: This dude said, how many tractor drivers does Virginia have
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: to beat? NC State and then West Virginia. Croakies versus camouflage.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Stop with the cousin stuff, all right?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: We're moving on from that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't do khakis verse. Oh, my God.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You can't get cousins out of me, all right? Come on.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Now, that's something Fitty would say, but Fitty has left.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Matt, when we come back, what should we expect from
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: UNC tomorrow in Dublin? Dare I say, can they get
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a dub in Dublin?
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: I like it.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: I like it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Also, listener, Shrubby's been in here. Only thing he's done
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: is boo me. We've also got Picante making his debut
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: back in his pick segment. We're calling it Picante. He
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: will get three games to pick, and if he misses
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: any of them, we will never do this again.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: No pressure.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Question number six, can four new offensive linemen protect long
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: enough for Bobby Petrino to be Bobby Petrino? Now, North
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: Carolina had to replace four of their five starters up front.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: And TCU returns most of their defensive line, which is
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: a pretty significant experience gap on the field in either direction.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: And offense can't really be aggressive if the quarterback is
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: running for his life or if he's on the ground.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: And being aggressive is the entire reason why Bobby Petrino
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: was hired.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Greg McElroy did a great preview for UNC-TCU, did a
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: great preview for State and Virginia.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: It is kind of cool. That's his always college football podcast.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: It is kind of cool bone to have both these
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: two local teams playing in week zero. And they're really
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: playing arguably probably the two biggest games of week zero.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: So when I listened to all these podcasts yesterday, I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: listened to a ton of them and I didn't listen
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to Fitties and Flanders.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Don't tell him. Don't tell Fitties. already on me about that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: But anyway, when you listen to them, it's a lot
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: of breakdown of UNC TCU.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of breakdown.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: It's more than you'd usually get bone, you know, of
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: UNC's game and state's game.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: It's kind of cool.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: It's awesome.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: No, it's an awesome job. They work hard on that,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I can tell you're very excited that the national people
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: have talked a lot of Carolina and state this week.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, I am. I mean, you know what? What these
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: teams get it started. And then, uh.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Next week, the champs come in. The champ is here.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Are you going to be yelling that next football Friday?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: The champ is here. When the Blue Devils show up.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Until that bell is taken, you can take Mensah. You
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: can take Barcate. You can take away what you want
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: from Duke. But what you cannot take right away is
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: they are the reigning defending champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And Tulane will find that out. Miami will have to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: pull that championship belt. From your cold, dead hands, Bone,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: on November 14th.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I hope that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: And Coral Gables.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I wish that game was in Durham, because
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Duke could then play a tribute video, Mac, for Mensah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and it would be the video of when he said
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: he's coming back. Ladies and gentlemen, let's play tribute to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Darian Mensah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I can't believe he cut a video.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Actually, I can, because Miami probably doubled his salary. But
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I cannot believe they did that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you what the most egregious thing about
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Duke right now is? It's not Mensah and Barkey. That's over.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: That's done. There's been a million things that have happened
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: since then. How in the world is Nate Shepard... not
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on the Doak Walker watch list. There's 60 running backs.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: He's up there with some of the best in the conference.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: He is going to be the majority of their offense,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I do believe. How is Nate Shepard not one of
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the 60 best running backs in America?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely absurd.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: We said it a couple weeks ago, but there's guys
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: on there in this conference that he's better than.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: He is by the way that is just as absurd
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: bone is the fact that um uh lenora sellers didn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: make the top 100 players on espn i'm right both
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: of those things are almost they're so egregious it's like
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: did y'all just forget these players existed it's.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Crazy i have a cvs like receipt right now of
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: things i'm gonna have to come back to later on.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Okay you save those save those baby and nate shepherd
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: there you go take names kick some ass later.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Um you don't want the bone daddy With receipts.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: We got to get to UNC here, Bo.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: We cannot let you hijack this segment and talk Duke.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: We got UNC and TCU tomorrow in Dublin. You asked
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the question, can UNC get a dub in Dublin? Do
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: you think, I mean, like if you're a Heels fan,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: does any Heels fan other than Fitty and Complainer and
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Chief think they're going to win this game tomorrow? Does
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: anybody think they're covering the spread tomorrow? What's the spread now?
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Up to nine and a half from seven and a half?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: What kind of game do you, like, do you think
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: it's close tomorrow? You think it's a one score game, Bo?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I think that TCU wins, but I think the Heels
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: do cover the spread. I think it's going to be,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: relatively low scoring certainly on the tcu side compared to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: last year i don't know how many points because i
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: don't it's my again it's so hard to figure out
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: all these especially with the heels there are so many
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: new players i i think it's somewhere maybe you know
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what like 21 21-13, somewhere maybe
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: in the 7-8 range. Not that UNC is going to win,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: but I think they're going to play within the 9.5. 17-7.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to see a ton of
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: points tomorrow, to be honest with you. I think it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: going to be low scoring. You think the weather? I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: think the weather. In fact, remember the Georgia Tech-Florida State
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: game there, low scoring. there's been other games played out
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: there where there's not a ton of points per se,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: whether it's the track, the conditions, the time of the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: year that these games are played. I think it's not,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I would definitely play the under in this game and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: UNC covering the spread, man. I hope the heels hang
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in there and compete. I like, I asked an hour one.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: As if the Tar Heels are listening to me over
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: there as they prepare for the air Lingus football classic.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: But I, I said earlier, like just play like you
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: did during that stretch bone where, and I know they
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: beat a lacrosse player at quarterback for Syracuse. I know
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: they beat a Stanford team. That's a, but the Virginia
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: and the cow game where they were a play away
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: from winning both those games, like play like that. Like,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that's what I just compete. Just be in the game.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Give yourself a chance late. I like the, Petrino, I like,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I do like him a lot. Does he
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: have enough to work with? How about this offensive.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Line, Bo?
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: They lost a lot off this offensive line. Is the
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: line going to be good enough?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Like TCU to me, like did this game, like you're
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: saying single digit game. TCU was 34 points better last year.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Has TCU gotten that much worse? New OC, new quarterback,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: and it's the first game. It's week zero. They're not
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: going to be what they're going to be later on.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: But UNC has a new OC and a new quarterback, too.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Fella, that's why I said I'm not expecting as many
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: points as last year. I like AC's idea right here.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: He thinks it could be a backdoor cover by the heels.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: So think about this. I know it's at 17-7, but
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: could you see something, Mac, where it's 24-10 late? and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: UNC puts one in the end zone and it's 24-17
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and they cover, that could be something that we see.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I guess that's possible.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I think that's a better idea than maybe my 17-17
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is a little bit low. I like that. TCU is
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in control, but they allow UNC to make it look
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: closer than it really is.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, UNC's got 40 other 60 new players are freshmen.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: How many of them are ready to contribute right away? Like,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: when Michael Lombardi, before he got stuffed in jail, when
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Michael Lombardi said, we're building through young players, we're building
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: for the long term, does that strike you as a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: strategy to show up in Dublin and knock off a
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: team that averages nine wins a season for the last
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: four years?
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Like, that's the thing.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Is TCU's a good, solid top 30, top 35 college
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: football program? Is Carolina going to play them down to
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: the wire? I think it's a double-digit game. And I
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: hope I'm wrong, Schropp. I hope the Heels bring it. See,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: isn't this good? Finney doesn't get to talk now. It's
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Tar Heels segment, and Schropp gets to talk.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I hate to break it to you. Your guy couldn't
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: last 30 minutes without needing to call back into the show.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: To.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: voice his own opinions about this game.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: He just left.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Why is he doing the show from the road?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: We scheduled the heel segment, Schrapp, specifically so Finney would
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: be gone.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: We wanted to mess with him.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Is he on the same phone line Picante's on?
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: No, it's him right now, and we'll see how long
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: he lasts.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Now I know how Walker feels when he walks in
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the studio unannounced. That's why they had to lock the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: door yesterday on him. All right, I guess we get
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Fitty in here.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: He will not allow this Tar Heel TCU segment to
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: happen without him being here.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Fit Dog, what's going on, baby? You miss us already?
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: What's going on, boys?
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: Just crossing over the lake here. Bone, how did this
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: segment turn into Duke talk, by the way? We're supposed
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: to preview the Aer Lingus Classic, and it turned into
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: five minutes talking about Duke getting their ass kicked by
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: Miami late in November. Let the heels, let the flags shine.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Get him out of here.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: What happened? Get him out of here. He's gone for
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the day. Go be gone. Go to the casino. Hang
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: out with Bailey. You're out of here. This is now
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the Trap Show. And I gave Trapy the signal. Did
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you order the Code Red? He ran the play because
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that's what he does. Trapy's a team player, and that's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: why that right there should be Trapy's seat.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Get your cheeks comfy, Trophy.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Get them cheekers comfy.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: It still smells in this seat, man.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it probably does.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Panther probably smells like McDonald's and desperation. Panther Bo did
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: text about the smell in the studio. Says the number
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: one upgrade in the studio with Shroppy replacing Finney has
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to be the scent.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, that's cold, bone. That's cold. Finney was just
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: ramping it up.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: He was just ready to give us all his bullet
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: points while UNC was going to shock the world, baby.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I was just defending the heel, saying they're going to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: play within this game, and he can't just go with that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you were trying to help. He thinks they're going
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: to win the game straight up. I mean, he says
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: he thinks that. Well, he's at the casino today. Go
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: put a bet on it.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Put it up.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Put the big money on money line heels. I just
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I have to see it from them to believe it bone.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: And I thought they're as good as their defense played
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: last year bone as good as their defense played during
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: that four game stretch. I brought up earlier and Duke
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: and NC State put points up on him. Like, it
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: didn't last. It didn't continue. And they only have 32%
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: of their production back on defense. Now, I love Melkart.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Abujadi is a player, man. But they lost a lot
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: up front in that front seven. Tyler Thompson and Sims
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and all those guys up front. They lost House and
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Simpson at linebacker. Like, I just, and then can Bobby
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Petrino get the offense going right away, Boe? And I
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: think this Jaden Craig kid, you heard the way Lugenbill
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: talked about him. That's the way the national analysts are
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: talking about him. Like, I think the kid from Harvard
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: is a baller.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: So if TCU doesn't win this game by 10 points,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'd be pretty damn surprised. But it is week zero.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: And often at week zero, we've got no idea what
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: the hell's going to happen.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to read the liner here. Why don't we
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: go to an expert now instead of us talking about
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: these teams? Listener Picante, who's picking games back the last
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: year or so at a 98% clip per listener Picante.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Picante has bothered us now for so long about how
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: great his picks are. We want him to show up
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: on the radio, and we want to monitor these picks.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and see if it's bs or is the man gifted
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: uh lord knows he can't be worse than me i
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: will give him that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: He picked out eight games and max said great now
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: pick three yeah we reduced him to three but here
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: he is baby with picante's picks ladies and gentlemen.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Picante what's going on on this beautiful football friday.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God. What an introduction. Thank you, guys.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: You're welcome.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: A lot of pressure on you, baby.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: We're calling this pick-ante this segment.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: No, no. Bob Bones sabotaged my picks because he already
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: got one of my picks. But it's okay.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm sorry.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to talk for the last four hours.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Two great minds, though, thinking the same way.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Real quick, though, Picante, you said you were drinking a
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: little bit today, huh?
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: Just a little bit, just to get my loose up.
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: One shot of whiskey, two shot of Red Bull, you know.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: That's how you start a football Friday, baby. That's how
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: you do it.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: I'm ready.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Let's go, man.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: My first pick is TCU under. Definitely, we don't know
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: about the quarterbacks. It's going to be a really, really
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: running game, and I'll take the under by far.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Now, the TCU under as a team or the game under?
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: No, just a game on there.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: I liked it on Tuesday, so it was 47 and
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: a half.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll give you four.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: What is it now?
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: 46 and a half. So I'm not winning already because
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: I'm so good.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: You give 46 and a half. The problem is you
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: lost a point, though, during the week.
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because they already know. If you don't do it now,
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: it's going to go 45 and a half, brother.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: You're right. The betters are taking the under.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I think y'all are smart.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: I got them 47 and a half.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: You and Bone are smart. You guys doing picks together, Bone?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Is that how this is working? All right, give us
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: your second pick. What do you got?
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: Okay, my second pick will be the.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: Let's go with the Wolfpack, baby. Again, I locked in
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: on Tuesday, so I'm taking five and a half. Now
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: the line is four and a half.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're getting four, though.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: The problem is you get the Friday lines, Picante, because
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: you do your segment on Friday.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: What I cannot do on Tuesday was what I locked
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: it in. Okay, fine.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: For the sake of your money.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're on the air. Yeah, you're betting do it
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: when you want, right? But on the air, you've got
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: to do Friday's lines. You've got to play by our rules, man.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: We're giving the listener this prized airtime.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: You don't want to give me fire, but it's okay.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Get you fired.
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: I'll go NC State Moneyline, to be honest with you.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Moneyline.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, there you go.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I like this so far.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: But I'm taking the four. I'm taking the four, though.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: But I'm saying that I believe that they are.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: What is your third pick?
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: My best bet will be the Spartans. Taking 38 and
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: a half. Say it, Jose. 39 and a half against USC.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I think Luke Weaver.
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: We'll at least do two touchdowns, and I don't think
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: USC will go 50.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I thought Picante messed up and picked Michigan State somewhere.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I was like, when's Michigan State playing? But you're right.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: San Jose State.
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: I'm not ready for Michigan State right now.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: How about this? People are liking Picante on the text line.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: He added a little bit of class, I would say.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: That's desperate need, after what Fitty said earlier about Momo. Picante,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I actually thought you did a pretty good job delivering it,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: your breakdowns. You could tell you are like a savvy
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: betting guy.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm actually now... I played to root against you, Picante,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: but I like your picks, though. I'm kind of with
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: you now on these. Let's see how it goes.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: Big money, week zero, we got this, and then... Week one,
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: I'll be ready again.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Well, let's do it. Okay, so here's the deal.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I originally said, Picante, you have to get all your
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: picks right to get back on the air the next.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: That's a little too harsh, right, Bone? Two and one?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: So two and one. If you have a winning record,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: you're back on next week.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: If you keep getting winning records, you're back the next week.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And then once you go under, we got to move
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: on to max picks.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: All right, let's go. Let's go, guys. Thank you so
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: much for the show. It's amazing.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Good luck, Picante. Good luck.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: Yesterday, I don't know who did this, but somebody said Raiders,
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: like in a long way. And one of my clients
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: got freaked out. She was like, what is going on?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Somebody said what? Oh, and when Mac went, Raiders! They
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: didn't like that?
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: No, Nick, the guy wasn't. Can you change his name?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That's what most people do want to mute the radio
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: when we're on. All right, Picante, good luck on your picks, brother.
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: All right, thank you, brother. I appreciate you.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: The self-proclaimed betting guru, Picante, with his picks, everybody. We
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: still owed an update, aren't we? Do we have to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: call Finney back on the road here? Does Shrop get
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the update?
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, I can make the update work.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Do an update, Shrop.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Can you give out the phone number three times like
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Finney does?
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I can do my best. I can do my best.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: This is the Bet365 Sports Flash with Bet365 early payout.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: You win even if they lose. Get paid out instantly.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Isn't he doing the wrong sponsor? Or is that the
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: right sponsor?
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: That's the one I'm reading right here for $ 9.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: 40.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: No, he got it, I guess.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: Is it?
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Or is this yours?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I thought H & S Roofing had all the flashes.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: That says 840, sir.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: All right. Okay.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: I'm just going by the sheet.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Go with it, baby.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, shoot.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: It is on that damn sheet. I never look at
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the sheets that he prints out for us.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, you drop me. Can you actually now say the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: sponsor before I'm about to interrupt?
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: My bad.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Bet365.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: My bad.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Bet365.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: You can get paid out instantly when your team goes
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: up big, even if they blow the lead later.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Bet365. Winning is everything. Gambling problem?
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: 21-plus only. Must be physically located in North Carolina. And
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: might as well, we were just doing a little line talk,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: a little sports betting talk. And with it being Bet365,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: what better thing to do than look at the Panthers
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: game tonight. The spread sitting at Houston, minus one and
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: a half. Are you taking Houston in the spread?
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Houston, you got a problem, baby. Hey, you do have
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: a problem.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: The other game where our starters didn't play, although Haynes
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: King was in that game.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I ain't taking the Panthers. It's Kenny Pickett and
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Kyle Trask only tonight. Yeah, I ain't taking the Panthers.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Can we take the under? What's the over-under in that game?
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Over-under is 35 and a half.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, but that's low, though. Holy crap. But it might
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: rain here tonight, too, though.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Golly.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: But that's a real low over-under.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: I'll be in attendance tonight, too.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: There you go, Shroup. There you go, baby.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: People think Mac was surprised that we actually had a
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: sponsor that wasn't his on the airwaves. It didn't get
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: by him.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Touche.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: Touche.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Mac said, wait, this is not my sponsor.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I said, how did y'all, I'm talking to y'all in
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: the sales office in the corner. How did y'all sell
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: a sponsor that didn't come my way?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: How dare you? Because I see.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: The list right now.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: He said.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: What is this? We come back.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: It's the wrap-up. We get you set for an insanely
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: busy weekend in sports. It's Mac Bone, dropping Sports Radio 92.7.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: That is Lake Erie.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: We think it is still called Lake Erie on the right.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: We're not quite sure at this point. But we'd be
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: by something like Ontario or whatever it's going to be
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: called by the time we get to Buffalo.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Anyway, you know what I'm talking about.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Some of you do.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Some of us do.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right. We tweet the news.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: That is Al Michaels last night during a prime broadcast
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: that I didn't even know was going on, Bone, until
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: about 10.15 last night. I was like, oh, crap, they
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: did that game? The Bills-Browns game. That is definitely, where's
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Phitty when we need a 92 impression?
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: That's right, I'm here.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Definitely a shot at Trump wanting to change Lake Ontario
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: to Lake America.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: There you go, everybody.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: It's our lake.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: It's in our area. Al Michaels can still throw the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: heat when he needs to, right? 81 years old, but
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: he's still out there alluding to stuff as he always has.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: That was a good zing there. So poor Fitty.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: He missed out on his chance to talk about the
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Heels game, a game he thinks they're winning. He didn't
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: get to get his point of view out there. He
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: missed a chance to do a 92 impression. And I
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: just noticed Schrapp played his own song and didn't play
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Piano Man.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, great song choice. Dare I
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: say that was a bop.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit more upbeat for your weekend.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, Piano Man, it seems like that's like the
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: weekend wrap up. You know, it's like.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Piano Man's a classic, baby.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: A classic.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: It doesn't get me hype.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: It doesn't get me hype.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: It's not a hype song. All right.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Well, there you go. You hype now, Bone?
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: That sounded convincing.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Well, Bingo Guy's upset because that's disrespect towards Fitty, what
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: he's accomplished here by not playing Piano Man.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: There's been so much Fitty disrespect, which, I mean, it's
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: a day that ends in Y. I got to be honest, though.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Fitty is not the victim today, y'all. 7 o'clock hour.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Find out what he did, what he said about poor
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Maumau and sacrificing her for a win over NC State
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: in November in football.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: I believe everything that comes his way today deserves.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I'm actually worried because last time he went off about
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: not wearing a seatbelt and he got in a fender
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: bender like an hour later. So let's just on this show–
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Whatever you say can and will be used against you.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Seriously.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: In the court of the curse. Oh, that's... So hopefully, Maumau,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: just stay inside today and don't move a whole lot.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Maumau.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Somebody tell Maumau, too, what her grandson did. I'm telling
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: you right now.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: She said... Oh, no, she's heard it before. What a
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: loving grandson.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if I get this winning sports, Grandma, you can
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: go pack it.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Also, as I forget who said on the text line, Entropy,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: that's also where he lives. She houses the man.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: She feeds the man. That is true. And he still
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: threw her out there to a pack of wolves.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Literally, the wolf pack. And you ain't getting that new
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: sweetie in Maumau's pool now. You know what I mean?
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: That ain't happening now, man.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Let's real quick. Let's let you know what's coming up
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: in the world of sports. So the Braves, after sweeping
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers with Chris sales, just filthy masterpiece of a
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: complete game shut out last night.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: They won one. Oh, what a series. What a game.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Now they take on Colorado this weekend. We've got FC
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: at Atlanta tomorrow night, looking for the crown to stay
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: hot and beat the rival. It is the I-85 Darby bone,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: not the I-95, as I might have called it in
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: hour one.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: In your defense, you were talking about New York and D.C. Yeah,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: keep up, everybody.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Keep up.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: You're so soccer savvy. You knew what you were talking about.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: We got Daytona tomorrow night. It looks like that last
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: playoff spot battle, SVG and Priest, kind of feels like, well,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Hamlin's already clinched. the number one seed. So we got

  Speaker 2: that going on tomorrow as well. A texter says, how
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: long until Bone goes to Colin after the show and says,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: can we keep Schrappi on the board from 6 to
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: 10 a.m.? I mean, it's just a, well, Finney, let's
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: be real.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Finney works his rear end off. He does.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: The dude puts in a massive amount of effort and time.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: But I think as everyone can attest to, Every once
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: in a while, whether it be 10 minutes, 20 minutes,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: maybe an hour, you do need a little bit of
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: a 50 break every once in a while.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: It's like putting a kid down for a nap.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: It's like a big man Mac in the paint. I
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: remember Shaq would wear out people and just back them down.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: And by the end of the game, he grinds you out.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I will say this. It's like putting Murphy in the crate, right?
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Sometimes the puppy gets overactive and you got to put
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: them in the crate. Sometimes it can be for 10
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: or 15 minutes. Yeah, it's the calm down move, right?
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: All right, settle down.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I will say this, Shrop. Shrop Nation has shown up

  Speaker 2: says the show is going a lot smoother with Shrop
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: at the controls. Then you have the guy, Anuj, that
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: told me, Mac, how dare you interrupt Shrop while he
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: is talking and doing his update. So I told him,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I apologize to Shrop Nation. And then you
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: have all the guys that want to hang out with
• 42:06

  Speaker 4: I'll be in 543. It might be across the way,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: but I will make my way for some free beer.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: I think it's worth it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: You have another guy that Ultimate Warrior says he is
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: almost in the same section as you.

  Speaker 3: I don't know how he knows that.
• 42:25

• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Mac's still over there in the chair.
