  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNC. Thanks to Sheena Quick for hanging
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: out with us here on the Mac and Bone Show
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out this Panther season. Can they pull themselves?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: back together. I do want to address a texter bone
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: because I tried to respond to him individually. I sent
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: it to Picante by mistake. Picante was confused. He was
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: just trying to come up with some picks for Thursday
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: night match and I messed it all up. So people
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: were asking about the 21 day window that they've opened
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for Brady Christensen and Canales did say, interestingly, they may
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: open it for Brooks and or XL. I would personally love,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: XL is another conversation, I would love to get Brooks
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and the ability to just dump it off to him
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: out in space. I would love to get that screen
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: pass game to alleviate the pressure.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I'd love to get that back. Because Dylan's been hurt, too.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: So it's basically all on Chuba in the run game. Well, Dylan,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: healthy scratch last week. Healthy scratch. Before that, he was hurt, though, right? Yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: he had an ankle. But yes, I want that skill
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: set of Brooks in the passing game. I think it
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: could be huge. But anyway, so we're waiting to see
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: if they do it with Brooks, waiting to see if
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: they do it with XL. And when's Mike Jack coming
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: back horn and that sort of thing. But the 21
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: day window that they did open up for Brady Christensen
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: means that he can start practicing. They have 21 days
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to activate him on the active roster or he goes
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: on IR for the season.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So that's what kind of where that stands. But it
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: sounds like Brady is, I would venture to say he,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It sounds like there's a good chance he plays this week.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Meg, if I need a window in the next 21 days,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: where should I go buy my windows?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You get your 21-day windows at UniversalWindowsDirect.com, Bo. That was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: so nice of you to ask me about that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, man.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: All right. Bo is playing John Stockton in my Carl
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Malone for my ads. All right, let's bring in a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: man right now that we want to hear his opinion
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on a lot of these things going on, Bone. We
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got Tar Heel basketball making fans a little concerned after
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the opener in the exhibition season. We've got all kind
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of triangle football happenings going on. We got the Canes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We got all kind of stuff. And, of course, the Panthers.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Adam Gold, 99.9, the fan in Raleigh. And, of course,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you can hear him most weeknights here. WFNZ at 7 o'clock. Goldie,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: how you doing this week, brother?
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I'm hanging in there. I wasn't that concerned about the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Tar Heels. They didn't exactly blow anybody's doors off during
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the preseason. I kind of expected that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So what do you think? Okay, let's start right there
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because Finney may be a bit concerned, Goldie.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I'm also very highly concerned.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Bone is very stressed out about it. They got out-rebounded
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: again last night this time by Western Carolina. Like, do
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you think Michael Malone, I think it's a pretty good bet,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: will make them better, will improve the team?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Are you worried about where exactly their ceiling is or,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: or does it not matter? Cause it's year one. Like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: are you kind of, you want heels fans to be patient?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Is that kind of your message?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It met year one. They're going to be fine. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: think their roster is good. I don't think their roster
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: is great. They could certainly use the big kid from
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: North Dakota, whatever, or whatever the Dakota we'll just say Dakota.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I said earlier. I didn't know which one.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Can we all agree that we only need one Dakota?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We only need one, clearly.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: We're only one.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: We'll vote on that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: On the show today, we could just get rid of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: one of the Dakotas. Make it one giant Dakota.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And for people that say, why don't we just
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: do one Carolina?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Sorry, y'all.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Sorry, y'all.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to team up with y'all. In Wyoming,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: by the way, you're getting thrown into the Dakotas, too.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're doing out there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Dakota-oming.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: It's like the Upper Peninsula. It's not really attached to
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the Dakotas. Look, I am not worried. They need the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: big kid. And here's what it demonstrates. It demonstrates how
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: stupid the NCAA is. Because Van Allen Lubin is playing
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a sixth year at NC State. He's eligible. The kid
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: from North Dakota is not. Somebody make sense of that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You know, the funny thing is, And reasonable people can
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: disagree whether it's a good rule or not. I think
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: five years to play five is a great rule, best
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: rule the NCAA has come up with in years. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: this season, we have players who are playing their eighth
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: year of college football eligible and players who want to
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: play their fifth ineligible. And that is absolutely nonsensical, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: this is the NCAA's finest work.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And I mean, the way it goes to certain courts
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and what judge do you get and what state is
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your case? I mean, it's just absurd.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It really is, man. What did you think of the heel?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: What'd you think of the heels football effort the other
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: day where they push Miami and all the referee chatter
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: about the game? What was your takeaway from how that ended?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, the pass interference that they got called for
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: was garbage. There's no pass interference there ever, anywhere, at
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: any time. It's a terrible call. But the two calls
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on the onside kicks, I mean, they're both penalties. The
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: one at the first one, the offside, it doesn't impact
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the play, but he's offside. So, I mean, that's an
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: easy one. And the second one clearly impacts the play.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You can't block the guy out of the way before
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: 10 yards so you can get the ball. And contact
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: is clearly made about nine yards down the field. My
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: bigger takeaway, first of all, I was super impressed by
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: North Carolina. The fact that if Billy Edwards doesn't get
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: strip sacked, Carolina wins that game. My takeaway is Miami
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: ain't beating anybody really good because they can't stop anybody.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Carolina's got pros on their offense. Thurman and ship are
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: both pros. They had other contributions. I really like all
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: three running backs. And my takeaway is that Bill Belichick
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: has shown you that Onside kicks are easily a 50-50
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: proposition when he does them. Because I don't know how
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: you stop that. Because if they're not offside on the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: first one, Carolina recovers it and they go and win
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the game. But they were offside. But the second one,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they clearly blocked early. But still, I don't know how
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you stop that. Or maybe it's just against Miami and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Mario Cristobal was in the process of getting himself outcoached.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: which has happened before.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say, Goldie, that we're overreacting to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: night one of college basketball here, but Finney went out
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to get some water and a Duke fan was waiting
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for him, our friend Q, waiting for him and pointing
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: at him and laughing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: To harass him. Now they've both disappeared into the hallway somewhere.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Duke wasn't all that impressive either.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: No, but we know they will. We know they will be.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That's the difference is we know they will be. We
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: don't know how impressive Carolina will be.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Well, again, I think Carolina's roster is at a little
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: different level. And again, they're missing that big guy. Look,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I love Matt Abel, but I can't recall seeing Matt
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Abel dominate a game at NC State. I mean, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: think his potential has been better than his performances his
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: first year at State. And I think those other players
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: are good players, but not from necessarily major programs in
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: major leagues. I think they'll be very good. I think
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Michael Malone is a great coach. I love the future
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: of that program. And I think this team will be good.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think this team will be great, but I
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: think this team will be good. So... Just because they
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: have North Carolina across the chest doesn't mean they're going
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to be otherworldly. I think they're good.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: We talked to you last week after the firing of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Dave Doran the previous weekend, but the Phillip Rivers chatter
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: is growing more and more and more. What are your
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: thoughts now, a week removed from when it first came up,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: about the potential of Phillip Rivers as the head coach
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of the Wolfpack?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I mean... It does certainly seem like that's the direction
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: of travel. And I'm not against it. I don't mean
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: anything might work. Philip Rivers might end up being a
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: great coach. I don't know. It's is it a risk? Yeah,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: because he has no college coaching experience. But if he
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: makes smart hires, he might be able to mitigate his
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: lack of experience. We don't have to doubt his football mind.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: We don't have doubt whether or not he loves the university,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: but that's true. So can he raise money? Can he
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: hire the right assistants and can he raise money? If
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: they can do that, then I think it'll be a
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: fine hire unless the coaching part of it overwhelms him.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And I don't think I don't see that happening.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: How worried are you? I guess you wouldn't be. Why
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: am I asking if you're going to be worried? Adam
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Gold is steady Eddie Cool, baby.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I'm very worried. I'm very worried about this question.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: No, I think I should phrase it this way. How
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: worried should Duke and Wake fans be? And I hate
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to do this to Wake fans in the middle of
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: their great season, but how worried should those schools be
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that Manny Diaz and or Jake Dicker could go take
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: another job? What do you think?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: They should be incredibly worried that both will have options.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: They will definitely have options. I know what Florida State
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: has been. I wouldn't take that job for a second.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I know. Me either.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: We said that too.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: There is no ability. The culture of that program is
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I think is so far away from winning now. Diaz
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: is an alum, so Diaz might have other interests there,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: and I get it. But to answer your question, if
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I'm Duke or Wake Forest, you should always understand that
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: That if your coach succeeds, he's going to be, he's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: going to have, there's going to be interested parties elsewhere
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: because people say, how can you win at Wake? How
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: can you win at Duke? Those guys must be superstars.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: And I think they both are. But to me, that's just,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you have to be prepared. You should never hire a
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: coach at Duke or Wake thinking that, all right, these
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: guys are going to be here forever. That should never happen.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: You should be ready to hire a coach every three years.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Say the same thing at App. Say the same thing
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: at ECU. If you're looking to hire your forever coach,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: you are doing it the wrong way. You got to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: hire a coach that you think can help you win
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: now and then understand that when he does or if
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: he does, he's off. And that's fair because you can't
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: possibly compensate these guys the way they can get compensated elsewhere.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: One reason, Adam, I'm not freaking out about it is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: because Duke has done such a great job in hiring
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: coaches under this administration that, yeah, it's frustrating, but I
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: have no doubt that they're going to make the right
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: hire again. They're doing a great job throughout all their
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: sports in their hiring process.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: No doubt, except that Shire guy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, hey, hey, there's some late game issues, and we've
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: talked about it, me and JS.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And we're working through some things.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: They have flamed out at the worst possible time, but
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: John Shire is a superstar. There's like five basketball coaches
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: in America that would keep their jobs if John Shire
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: was a coaching free agent. 340 coaches. schools would fire
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: their coach to hire John. Agree.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Totally, man.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Agree.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's only a matter of time, man, for him. Okay.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Let me, let me ask a more positive weight question now.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Cause I feel bad. They're having this amazing season. They're
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Molly whomping people every week. And although they do have
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the Gio Lopez knee injury concern, we don't know for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: sure about that, but I just want to ask you,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like you were kind of, and I understand why, but
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you were kind of dismissive of their chances of the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: playoff weeks ago. They are really breaking out the whooping
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: stick now. Are you warming up to their playoff chances?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you a little insight on what we're
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: going to do today on the show. I don't know
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: if it's airing today. We are going to project the
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: playoff today. And I, at this very moment, do not
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: have Wake Forest in. But I don't have Indiana in.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: And I don't have Notre Dame in either. And those
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: are all one loss teams as well. I have several
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: two loss teams ahead of them. But I think if
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: they beat SMU, they just don't have the total resume.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Even though Wake Forest has been laying waste to everybody,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: much like Indiana did in year one without beating anybody good,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: their best thing on their resume right now is probably
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the loss to Miami. Maybe the win over Louisville, because
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Louisville was ranked at the time. And actually, I think
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: there's one poll that has them ranked now. But if
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: they beat SMU on the road, if they finish with
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: three more wins in league play, then they're going to
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: go to the ACC championship at 11-1. And yeah, they'll
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: be a playoff team, whether they lose to Miami or not,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I think. But that's what they have to do. They
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: have to run the table in order to be a
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: playoff team because, unfortunately, they just don't have the wins
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: against really good teams. But if they run the table,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: they'll have them because the games against SMU and Duke
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: will be good wins when they get right down to it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is what they're up against, no doubt. I've
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: got to be honest, after watching Miami struggle to stop
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the passing games of Florida State and UNC... I'm not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: so sure here in Charlotte, if they met, Wake couldn't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: beat them. You know, I'm not.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I think I wouldn't want to play Wake Forest at
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: all right now. I think they're going to SMU in
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: two weeks to win.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I tend to agree. I tend to agree on that. Goldie,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you were asking, are you on today in Charlotte? 7
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: o'clock sharp, you are on tonight, baby, so they can
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: hear you talk about Wake and the playoff. And obviously
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: tomorrow on our show, Bone, we're going to react to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: where Wake is in the first playoff standings that come
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: out tonight. Goldie, you are the man.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: He's not live, though, at 7.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought he was going to come in the studio.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I was trying to assign him with his own personal job.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So he may not know yet. No, I said we're
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: going to– it's two separate shows.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Tonight you're going to hear Goldie from today with his playoffs.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I thought you meant Goldie's reacting to the playoffs. I'm
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: not that dumb.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I'm dumb.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't sure there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: You guys don't watch that show, do you?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, I lock in.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, I lock in. I never miss an episode.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I lock in. I take notes and everything, Goldie.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: You're dumber when it's over? Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Hard for me to feel dumber, you know, and hard
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: for me to do that. All right, Goldie, are you
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: one of those curmudgeons that won't waste your time with
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that stuff?
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: No, because it's all fake. It's all contrived. They're not
