Mac & Bone Hour 2: College Football Pumped or Pissed · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It is over for Dabo Sweeney.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It's time for him to take a good long look
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: at himself, quit the protestations every Tuesday when he shows
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: up at the media, quit trying to remind people of
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: what he once was.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: He is no more. The game has passed him by.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean he can't go someplace else and refresh,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: but comparing Dabo Sweeney.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: To Lane Kiffin yesterday was frightening.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: There is not that much difference in age, a couple
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: of years, but it was almost tragic to look at
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: how badly Lane Kiffin out-coached, out-maneuvered, and completely overwhelmed a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: guy who six years ago was facing the same team
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: in the national championship games.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: This is Clemson's new fight song. Matt, just let it
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: play for a minute. Fight song. Hold that tiger. Hold
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: that tiger.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: That was a house of horrors. That was a house
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: of horrors. Death Valley, Louisiana version on Saturday night. That
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: was also Paul Feinbaum on Sunday morning on Matt Berry's podcast,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: declaring Dabo done for, let me check my notes, Bone,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the 73rd time.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: The 73rd time.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: He has declared. And I love, too, when he talks
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: about how much he hated it. It's kind of like, oh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: that was hard.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: That was hard to watch. Oh, we get it, bro.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not even sure you had pants on. Fine, Bob.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: During the second half of that game, you were probably
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: so giddy. Although he, he, uh, last week he was with, uh,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: he was with Dabo on something for the first time.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think, listen, don't get me wrong.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure he loves himself some Lane Kiffin either.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: And what Lane Kiffin has been up to, but, uh,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: let's not, let's not believe bone that he is sad
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: for Dabo and Clemson.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: The numbers, as we go through here, the, the game
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: itself and what the Clemson fan is thinking about, not
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: only this year, but really the future of the program.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: We've done this. There it is right there. The fight
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: song is back. Mack, Clemson before Brett Venables from 08
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: to 11 was 32 and 22 with Dabble as head coach.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: In the time with Venables from 2012 to 21, they
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: went 127 and 17 with two national championships, 10 first-round
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: draft choices. Since Brett Venables left, they are 37-18. They
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: have more losses in the last, now into five years,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: than they had the previous decade with Brett Venables.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we said it at the time, man. That dude
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: is a beast of a defensive coordinator. Doing a pretty
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: damn good job as a head coach, too. How about
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: the opener numbers for Clemson? We talked about them last week,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and then they just added to them. Bone, they have
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: lost four straight openers. No other team in power football
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: has lost four straight openers right now. They have failed
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: to score more than 10 points in any of those
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: four openers.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: If you want to go back six years, they have
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: not scored more than 10 points in five of their
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: six openers. And it's often against SEC teams, Georgia twice,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: LSU twice, although Duke was in there one time as well.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: My first bit of advice to Clemson today is, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I'm sure we're going to talk about Dabo and somebody's
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: already texted about Dabo's buyout and all this stuff. My
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: first bit of advice to Clemson is stop playing an
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: SEC team in week one. This is not the old days, Bone,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: where you can do that and hold your own.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Right? I mean, I'm going to be honest with you, Clemson.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Play somebody crappy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Like the Citadel in week one.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: They beat Charlotte, and then they beat the Gamecocks back
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: in the day as well.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Maybe not that one, but pick somebody else. That was pre-Bone, though.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: That never actually happened. Mac, I will say this. You're
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: going through those first games there, Clemson. You can make
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a case that the downfall of the Clemson program really
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: started three years ago tonight when they got their doors
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: blown off at Wallace Wade by Duke to open the season.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Duke had no success against Clemson. They rolled them. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: remember what Tom Lugenbaumack said at the time about that game?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It didn't seem like a fluke. It felt like Duke
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: was matching the athletes and the players that night that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Clemson had. Clemson has not been fully the same. Yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I know they made the postseason the first year of
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the playoff, but Clemson really has not been the same
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: since Duke took their soul three years ago. That was 2023, right?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So, okay, since the start of the 2023 season, they
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: are 26-15. And even some of those wins now have
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: been more of the... Remember that game against Wake a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: couple years ago? They won like 10-3 or something. They've
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: had more grind. Even some of those 26 wins are
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: not the type of wins they used to have.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: So what do we think, though, about that game? Because
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: this is the question we ask in Week 1. When
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: a result like this happens... Well, is Team A that
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: good or is Team B that sucky? Because you can
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: make a case this morning, Bone, that holy crap, Clemson
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: could be in for another around 500 season like last
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: year after that performance. Or you also could say, I
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: have to be honest, Lane Kiffin brought in 40-something transfers.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: They spent over $ 40 million on that roster. He is
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: a brilliant offensive coach. like I think they're going to
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: be a national title contender. So like which one, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: we'll talk about it, Clemson fans, have you completely lost
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: faith in Dabo? How much does this one hurt? Someone
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: called it the final straw in the first hour, a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Clemson fan for Dabo.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: So we'll get into that conversation.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: But the first question, Bone, was it more LSU, holy crap,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I think they're really good, or is it more holy crap,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Clemson's bad?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Or could it be both, that a bad team ran
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: into a really good team, and that's the result that
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: happens there? Clemson will not be that bad week in,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: week out. But I will say this, though. What's their
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: quarterback play going to look like? Because eventually, if that
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: keeps up, it'll be Tate Reynolds. But what is their
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: quarterback play going to look like? And the downfall of
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: the running game has been really eye-opening. They were 105
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: last year in rushing in the country. They were in
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the 40s forever in terms of where they would end
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: up falling with all the other teams. But, Mac, if
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: their quarterback is more of the— game manager variety but
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: yet they can't run the football how is that combo
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: going to win them a ton of football games if
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: they can't run it and the quarterback is not good
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: enough to win it on his own that they used
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: to have what's the offense going to do there i'm more.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Apt to think bony that like because you look at
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: how vizina played at home last year against smu smu
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a bad pass defense i won't throw that out there
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: but he had 307 passing 317 passing yards three touchdowns
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: no picks I mean, I'm more inclined to say that
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: LSU is badass. That Lane Kiffin, because what was our,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: we knew Lane Kiffin had talent, but what was our thought?
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Oh man, it can't gel right away, can it? It
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: can't gel right away. That's what I thought. This is
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the time you want to play them. And they looked
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: unbelievable on both sides of the ball. Once Clemson's playing
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: ACC opponents, A, that Chad Morris offense, Bone, are they
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: going to be able to run it better when they're
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: not running against that front? And are they going to
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: get better quarterbacks? I mean, they'll definitely run it better
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and they'll get better quarterback play. I guess the question
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: is how much better. But don't you think, Bone, against
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: ACC competition... Whether it's Vizina, I mean, at this point,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I wonder if you're a Clemson fan and you just
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: want to, you know, press the fast-forward button to Reynolds,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: who is supposed to be a hell of a talent.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: But don't you think, like.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think LSU.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Made them look horrible, and I'm not ready to say
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Clemson's going to be horrible.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's one thing to look bad, but to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: that level of bad, though? I mean, no one in
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: their right mind thought it would be that ugly, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: it probably, honestly, could have looked even worse. Clemson added
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: some rush yards at the end there. I mean, that, yes,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I thought Clemson could hang in there within the 10 points. But, man,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, either LSU is going to match the 2019
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: LSU team as one of the best. I ain't saying
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: all that now. Or the truth is somewhere in between
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: LSU being a great team and Clemson just– struggling out
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the gate. Could LSU Philly be one of the five
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: best teams in the country and Clemson is 7-5, 8-4?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Is that possible?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: And they just got overwhelmed by the environment because those
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: folks were in an effing lather.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: You could sell me on that. I was a lot
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: higher on Sam Levitt, the quarterback addition from Arizona State,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: than maybe some people were because he had a disappointing
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: year last year dealing with injury.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Injury, yeah. He was amazing.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Here's what was the most appalling to me, Mac. Of
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: all the recent Clemson blowouts, like the losses to Duke
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: and Georgia, there were a lot of mistakes that led
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: to why those games got as lopsided as they were.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: And I know Clemson did make their fair share of
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: mistakes on Saturday night. Mac, I don't think it mattered. Like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: even if Clemson would have played a clean football game
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: and they don't throw the pick six, is that game close?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: I don't think so.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: There was a different caliber of athlete that LSU had.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, big time.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: And I didn't get the game plan. Like, you know
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: you couldn't run on the edges because of how fast,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: you know, what weeks those linebackers were. And they tried
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: to keep running on the edge. But they couldn't block
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: up the middle. And I was disappointed because I really
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: bought into Chad Morris. And I know it's just one game.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: But that felt like the same problems that they had.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: had under Garrett Riley. Lack of adjustments. It was like
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: once they got bogged down, they were bogged down.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: They never look prepared in these openers the last handful
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: of years. Like, they are just not prepared to play football. Now, again,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I would go back to this. Stop scheduling these SEC powers. Like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you ain't that. Well, they did. They played Duke, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: they got crushed by that, too. Fair. But you ain't
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: that program anymore. I would start with a Scrubino. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: will be flat honest with you. Because this team is
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: not prepared for that sort of football, maybe ever anymore.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: But certainly, they've lost eight straight to the SEC. They
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: aren't prepared for those games. They certainly ain't prepared for
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: them in the opener. But I just think in the trenches, 250,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: they just got dominated. Like we talked on Friday, Bone,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: it's a completely new offensive line. And they had three
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: guys starting, I believe, that were either sophomores or freshmen.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: And I just thought in that environment, I thought that
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: would be kind of ugly. I would think the offensive
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: line would play better moving forward. I'm not on here
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: telling you Clemson's going to be very good. But I'm
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: just trying to, like, could, here's another thing too, Bone.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: LSU was ready. Like, I know last week you were saying, hey,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: could they be distracted? And then I said, maybe. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: then by the end of the week, I was like,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: you know what?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin is going to have an us against the world,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: go out there and punish Clemson for all the crap
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: the whole country is talking about us. And I just
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: feel like, Bone, they showed up and they were going
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: to beat the crap out of somebody on Saturday night.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. It could be playing the wrong team
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: at the wrong time situation. We've seen that before. There's
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: a larger discussion to be had outside of just Clemson
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: rebounding within the season. And that, of course, is the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: big national conversation now on Dabo Sweeney's future. Saw a
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: tweet yesterday that kind of made a little bit of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: sense to me. I forget who said it, but it
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't feel like the beginning of the end for Dabo.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: It feels like we're in the middle of the end
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: of Dabo, whether or not that he and what he
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: feels about the sport, where the program is going. I've
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: said it before. I just don't know how long Dabo
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: is for Clemson. I don't think they're going to outright
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: fire Dabo Sweeney, but I wonder if he's about ready
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to go do something else at some point with the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: way the sport is as well. Well, say this.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: His buyout, CBS wrote an article about this yesterday because
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: they're already asking, should Clemson move on from Dabo? His
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: buyout bone, it's got a weird little quirk to it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: If you fire him midseason, it's $ 57 million. If you
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: fire him after the season, it's more. It's $ 60 million.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I don't really understand that. I don't really understand it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: That is a huge buyout.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: To buy out for a school that's struggling financially in
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: some ways. And if you're Dabo, I guess you could argue,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: is he such a prideful man? He could admit it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: not working here. But most coaches, Bo, make you fire them.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Most coaches make you pay me the $ 57 or $ 60 million.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: So that'll be an interesting part of this.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Could Dabo, could they talk and say, you know, That
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: was a little different to most coaches. Could they talk
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: and find some sort of number lower than that to
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: settle on?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't want anybody to think because
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: some people are blasting me. This dude says, Tiger Mac
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: on the air telling us everything's going to be great
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: in ACC play.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: That's a joke. Again, I said seven, eight wins for Clemson.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I'm not on here, Bone. They won seven last year.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not on here telling you I think it's going
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: to be anything great. I'm just wondering, Bone, if.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: They're not like, cause like, what do you think? Give
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: me a number for how many games you think they
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: win based on what you saw. I mean, the schedule
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: is not daunting. So the max is eight, six, seven, six, seven,
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: something like that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Now, I will say, Fitty, I thought for sure that
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: entering the season that Clemson would take care of the
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Tar Heels. I can't say that for sure now, though.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: That game's got some intrigue now, Fitty. I don't know, Fitty.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: That to me is, I think you guys got a
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: much better chance than I thought you did based off
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the way you played week one and where Clemson is
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: right now. Plus, you guys have played Clemson relatively well
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: or close a lot in the Dabo time, haven't you?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You've got some close losses to them, right?
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Outside of what happened last year.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, did your TV work last year? No, no,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: but in the past, you've almost got them a couple times.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: They've been competitive. But, Mac, look at the games that,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: you know, like South Carolina to me, I thought that
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: was a win entering the year. After what I saw Saturday,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: they're not better than South Carolina. You look at, can
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: this team go to, can that version of Clemson go
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: to Cal and win? And look, I know Cal.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Fell apart on Friday night. These are all legit questions.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: But Cal's got a hell of a quarterback. That's a
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: weird trip anyway for any team to take in the ACC.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: It's a Friday night game too, right? It's a weird
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: one for them. I just wonder how many ACC teams
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: could have gone into that gauntlet with that whole state
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: furious at the world.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Only Miami could have gone in there and been competitive.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Not even SMU, I think, is going to do something
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: very similar to Florida State tonight. I think they're going
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: to beat the Brakes off Florida State, and they might
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: be the second-best team in the ACC. I think SMU
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: goes in there, Mac, and loses by at least two touchdowns. But, Mac,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: you're talking about where we are in Dabo's tenure with Clemson.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Is this the beginning of the end, the middle? That
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: was one of the rare times I watched his team
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: and thought they quit. And that's one thing to his credit.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: He's always been able to rally the troops when things
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: have been bad. That was a broken, defeated team walking
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: off the field going into halftime.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. This texter says, think about it, Mac.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: You're sitting here saying, yeah, I think Clemson could be
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: all right and win seven games. That's the point right
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: there about how far the program has fallen.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: No, that's true.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: And by no means am I on here saying, Bone,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: that Dabo can get this thing anywhere close to where
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: he had it before. It just feels like he doesn't
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: fit this era. This feels like example number 42, that
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: he does not fit this era. And it does make
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: you wonder, is he still having fun? Does he still
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: want to fire the rest of y'all bus up? It
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: does make you wonder about that.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: If I'm a Clemson fan, I feel sick, man, because
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: it does just feel like, man, he can't get us back.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: He can't get us back there. You're talking about scheduling.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: They have some series coming up in a couple of
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: years with Georgia that begins. Then they have an Oklahoma series.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Don't forget, Matt. Cancel that one, too. Don't forget they
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: signed that special 12-year deal to play Notre Dame every
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: single season. starting next year. Oh, jeez. So they have
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Georgia and Notre Dame coming up in a couple of years.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: They have years where it's Oklahoma, Notre Dame. Because they
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: have that. They went away from the ACC playing Notre
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Dame every couple of years. They signed on to play
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: the Irish 12 straight years coming up starting next year.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, and why? You're scheduling the SEC teams? Stop.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Cancel all these games, yo. Except for the game costs.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Keep that on there. Yeah, you got to keep that
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: one on there. But I'm like, should they play.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: You're going to have a nine-game conference scheduled just about
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: every year in the ACC. And you're playing Georgia and Oklahoma.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: And you're playing South Carolina. Shouldn't it be two patsies?
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Clemson fans that have season tickets. I know
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: you want to see good games.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: But I'm telling you, they ain't the team that can
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: schedule like that anymore, man. They have three years coming
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: up where it's Georgia, Notre Dame, and South Carolina as
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: their three non-conference games. That's brutal.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: 704 number says, I'm a Gamecock fan. I'm happy with
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Saturday in multiple ways. My Tiger buddies told me they
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: would roll in the SEC.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a past life.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Doesn't that feel like a whole other lifetime ago, Bone,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: when they were toe-to-toe with Saban's Bama team? Yeah, that
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: ain't the case anymore. This dude says, and Clemson fans
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: want to move to the SEC. That's funny. Yeah, that's
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: a good point. The timing of it right now. I mean,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: you don't want to move to the SEC with Dabo
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: in the NIL era. I can tell you that.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, what a mess. When we come back, it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: college football, pumped or pissed. Everyone other than Clemson edition. Sean, 49ers,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I think we know what side you're on. Sports Radio,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It's not one thing.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Again, we had some things dialed up pressure-wise, and we
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: missed tackles. Number five, I mean, that kid, we couldn't
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: get him on the ground. I mean, broke numerous tackles. So, again, I'm.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Disappointed. I'm not disappointed with their efforts. We're going to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: have to get some things cleaned up. 24 hours.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: We're going to correct the mistakes. The season's not over.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: You get 12 opportunities, and we had chances to win
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: the game, didn't get it done.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: That is Tim Albin, Charlotte head coach. It's time for
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Pump Through Piss Monday, our Monday tradition where we are
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: looking for fans that are happy, fired up, enjoyed the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: weekend when it comes to your college football team, and
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: we are looking for fans that want to vent, that
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: want to freak out. We're trying to do the non-Clemson edition, Bone,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: but T-Time is continuing to text. He says the boosters
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: are already getting tired of Dabo.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: He wonders.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: If he would lose to UNC, could that be it
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: for him? So we're trying to make it the non-Clemson edition,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: which is why we played the Tim Alvin I just.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Realized that tea time has showed up today. I'm missing
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: some of my, uh, it is my Clemson friends. Where
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: did that word dot go? Future redemption? Here's the problem, though.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: It's quiet on the Clemson front. You say, well, it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: a holiday. Well, I'm pretty sure that if they would
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: have beat LSU, they would be here today, would they not?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: You think the alarm would have been set if they won? T-Time,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: a man of class, showed up during the toughest of times. Also,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: if you lose to.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: North Carolina, Mac... It's not the worst thing. They're the
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: only ACC school with the win against a power comes
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: to opponent the first two weeks of the season.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: There you go, baby. There you go. The Heels are
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: carrying this damn conference.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Once again, North Carolina carrying the banner for the ACC.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: If they jump.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: We do it in every other sport. Add football to
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: the list.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: If they just weren't a dysfunctional bleep show off the field.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: More on that with David Glenn at 8 a.m. coming up.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, that's big for the Tar Heel fans. I'll
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: give you one, Glenn. Give him a clap. Give him
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: a clap, baby.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: As far as Charlotte goes, man, I feel terrible for
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Charlotte fans. I just want relevancy for y'all. I want y'all.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Like, we get it all the.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Time, man.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Why don't you talk Niners? You know what I mean?
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Talk more Niners.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: It's like, but I want them to give us a
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: reason to. I want them to get fans hooked, get
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: them engaged. Like, for example, the Will Healy club lit
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: season where they went to a ball. Like, that was
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: so much fun. That was fun, man. And Niner fans
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: were having fun. And it didn't take, you know what
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, some... amazing dominant season. It just took making
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: a bowl and kind of having a fun, fun team
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: and a fun coach.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: And this is just feels like so far from it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just to lose that game against the Citadel,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: who is obviously an FCS opponent and your 20 point
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: favorites over them.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: And they lost 42 to 14 to Wofford last week. Like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: what would Wofford do to y'all? Like, it's just, it's
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: so disappointing. That was the one guaranteed win on their
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: schedule that you said, all right, well, there's one. No,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: they didn't get it. Now they go to Ole Miss
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: and App State back-to-back. Louisiana will be not easy. Memphis
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: is there. North Texas, Tulane. UAB played Illinois rather tough.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: ECU is much better, obviously, than they showed on Saturday.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Tulsa just beat Oklahoma State. And Navy, some project to
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: maybe be potentially maybe a playoff team there. That's a
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: hard American schedule. We just want them to try to
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: get to four and maybe five wins. I'm not even
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: sure right now on paper how they get to maybe four.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: One win, maybe two, but I don't know where they're
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: coming from.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I don't blame you, because last year their only win
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: was their FCS game. And they gave up a ton
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: of points in that one, but they won 42-35 over Monmouth.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: This texter says, how the hell is our defense giving
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: up an average of about 40 points in two years alone?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: against FCS teams? It's a legit question. I mean, they
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: made that Garcia, that running back bone, look like he
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: should be carrying the ball in the damn SEC.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: They could not tackle him.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: And I do think, Bone, the coaching staff of the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Citadel made an adjustment and put the Billups kid in
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: at quarterback, and they ran him with Garcia. And I
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: think Charlotte really had a problem with that. They missed
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: 16 tackles. They could not bring those guys down. They also, Bone,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: made mistakes. Like as many good plays as Gonzalez made,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: throwing for. 322 and having five total touchdowns, he has
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: two interceptions that lead to points the other way. They
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: give up a 49-yard punt return. They don't do crap
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: on returns themselves. They give up a 49-yard punt return.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Gonzalez can tie the game, Bone. And by the way,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: how sweet was the Citadel's two-point conversion? Fake the jet sweep,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: roll the other way, and hit the tight end. Like,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: how much better coach should the Citadel look than Charlotte?
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Well, how about this? And then Gonzalez misses a wide-open
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: receiver to tie it in the third overtime after that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: In a three-overtime game, the Citadel had two penalties and
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: no turnovers. There you go. Right to your point. They're
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: so much cleaner and better coach, and that's disturbing. The
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: thing is, I know Albin can coach both his last
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: two stops, Bone. He improved the programs.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: But it's like, and that's what we're looking for, is
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: that Albin improvement. But, man, one weekend, it's like, this thing.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if this thing's improved at all. I mean,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: he's looking at it. I mean, he's looking at it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, even if they won, Mac, a game or two,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: pulled off an upset or two along the way, because
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: it would have to be an upset every game the
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: rest of the way. I mean, what's the total win
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: total for Tim Albon in his first two years? Won
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: one last year. Is it going to be three wins
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: in his first two years? I don't know how many
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: more than that they're going to get on there. It's
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: sad because we just want them to be relevant as well.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: We want Saturdays to involve them where you have to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: watch them play. They are a relevant factor. But, man,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: it's just... It's tough, man. It's a tough job right now,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and the whole program feels like it's in over its
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: head right now. I know. Thank God that Wes Miller's
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: coming up not far from now, because I actually do
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: think there's some hype for him in the basketball team. Oh,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we had a Niner fan declare basketball season on the
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: text line earlier in the show. That's not happening a lot.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Oh man 704-5709-610 so this is our pump their piss
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: monday feature oh poor likes to paycheck is an oklahoma
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: state fan they were supposed to like score bone like
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: a hundy this year with the north texas coach joining
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: bringing a bunch of his team mess to maker joining
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: and my god mess to maker 4.9 yards a pass
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: and two interceptions Tulsa beats him. I don't blame him
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: for being salty.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Imagine you're the idiot that had Oklahoma hitting their over
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: on their point total in that game. Hello, good morning.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: You're at Oklahoma State hitting the over? I'm sorry, Oklahoma State. Sorry, yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Good job by me on that one. You bought the hype. Oh,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I bought in. Yeah. Oh, I bought in.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: That's the only thing Picante missed on this whole weekend
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: on his picks, man, is his beloved Mesta maker, Stunk.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: More on him coming up in the conclusions. We have
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to give immense praise to Picante. Yeah, he's a baller, man.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: He's a baller.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Who knew?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Mac, do you want to read it? Who knew? Mac,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: read this or I'll read it off. Face punch. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: sent a text in. You ready for this one? What's that?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Charlotte 49er came to a straight face. It's not funny,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: but the way he words this. Charlotte 49er fan here,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm ready to drink the Kool-Aid. Not because I
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: believe anything that god-awful program says, but because everything hurts
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: and I want to die. Oh, my God. Face punch.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Pull yourself together, baby. Pull yourself together. That took a
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: dark turn. The Panthers are teeing it up in six days.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Pull yourself together. It could be a Clemson.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Fan sparkle city marcus says he's pumped up about the
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: gamecocks you should be hot as it was out there
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: it's nice to see them have an actual offense compared
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: to last season also not asking questions about the offensive
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: line like we do after every season opener it's true
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: uh 704 i'm fired up about the gamecocks you can
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: already see the difference in kendall bryles offense and you
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: brought up the point bone that old line played the
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: way they did in the run game and the pass
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: game and they did it without Peek, so you think
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: you would add him in? Yeah, that was a fun
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: one for Gamecock fans.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Mac, how do you handle the, first of all, it's
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: a rivalry game for the show, Tows and Tigers in
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: primetime next week against South Carolina. Mac, how do you,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: how would you handle Peek and Stewart? Do you give
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: them a little... What will run in that game to
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: sort of get into it? Or do you just save
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: them for the SEC game against Mississippi State? I guess
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: it depends on where they're at. Like, are they back
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: practicing yet? Or it's I don't know. I mean, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: don't think so. Yeah. So I don't know how close
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: they are or aren't. I think all along, though, I
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: think we all kind of thought just get them in
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: there for week three. You know what I mean? Don't
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: worry about these two games. I do think there's a
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: little question about who's going to rush the passer until
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Stewart comes back, but hopefully he'll be ready to go
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: by week three.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I thought Addison looked good. There's the kid that's a
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: transfer from Illinois that was stuffing to run.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Duru Jaya? Yeah. I thought he flashed a little bit.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: How have we not mentioned Noah Clark? The man in
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: the middle that they call the deep freezer. Oh, that's right.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: How have we not said that yet on the show?
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: That's a great damn nickname. South Carolina's got a run
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: stuffer that's a level above the fridge that they're calling
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: the deep freezer. How about that? That is a great
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: damn nickname.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: This dude says, I'm a Duke fan and I'm worried
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: sick about this quarterback.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, your defense looked good, though. You got
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: one of the best running backs in the country.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: That helps.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, Shepard's unbelievable. I don't know if you want
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: to give him 35 carries a game and see if
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: he can hold up, though. Like, they just, they worked
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: his hiney, man.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: They did.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: But he gave you 227, 167 after contact. He was
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: a beast. If you look at Eget's numbers, Mac, at
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: San Jose State, that's kind of who he is. Like, that,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: he doesn't really, he had a couple games last year
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: where he went off, but, like, overall numbers, he's not...
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: He's kind of a manager of things. He's not really
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: like a prolific West Coast passer. He had some bad misses.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: So did Sellers, by the way, the other day, too,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: against Kent State. He didn't have many misses, though, did he?
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: He had three, and they were all short. Oh, okay. Yeah,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: he did. But I was going to say, he didn't
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: miss many passes. His first three misses were all defeated
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: in the White House. He's got to clean that up
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Mensah had two more touchdowns than incomplete passes.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: What was Sellers? Sellers was even, right? Three touchdown passes
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and three incompletions.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: But his fault, what was I saying? Oh, Eget. Yeah, sorry, Eget.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Him and Haseley got to get on the same page
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: because I'm not sure they're going to get a lot
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: of production from their wide receivers. They were not on
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the same page. twice in a row. How about the
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: back to back in the end, the end zone where
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Haseley drops it uncharacteristic and then EGET misses him badly.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: There were other misses of Haseley by EGET, but we'll see.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: This could be a big test for Duke at Illinois
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: this past week. How about that freshman Bryce Davis though
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: for Duke? That guy's going to be a baller, isn't he?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Up front?
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was getting after it. Had a couple of sacks.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: All those linebackers were all over the place. Gompers, Morris,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: all those dudes.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Love me some Gompers. That's a great name, Gompers. Gompers
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: should be a linebacker, right? Big old Gompers. He just
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: gomped them. That doesn't make any sense, does it? I
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: need that for a drop, Vinny. Big old gompers.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Put that in the open place. This dude said, where's
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: the love for App State? We thoroughly dominated the Black Bears. Now,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: that wasn't a big point spread, was it?
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: 17 and a half. Dude, and they won. I mean,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: compared to what some of the spreads are. They won
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: 53 to 3. yeah charlotte was a 20 point favorite
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: took an l main main you know so maybe thousand
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the week before i watched some of that game i
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: don't know what that means but yeah man i thought
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: the purdue transfer at quarterback looked pretty good they got
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: a ton of different guys involved all six top pass
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: catchers were new guys the running back combo of lewis
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: and cross look good they got a couple tight ends
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: they combine for over a hundred i'm very interested for
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: saturday man i want to see app and ecu fans
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: go at it man it's the uh we often call
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: it um it's You know, it's drinking versus a little
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: bit of a little bit of doobage here. We like
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: this rivalry. Also want to give a shout out. Coastal
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Carolina quit themselves pretty well against West Virginia. They all
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: did that football game for a long time. It wasn't bad.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: They only lost by seven. Yeah, they were in that game.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: They only lost by seven. Did East Carolina quit themselves.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Well, Boney?
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: No.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: God, that was rough.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I hate it too, man. I thought when they hit
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: that long touchdown, I thought, okay, maybe they're going to
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: try to, you know what I mean, put up some
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: fight or a long pass and set up the touchdown.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I thought maybe they were going to show some dang fight.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: They got their golfers kicked in.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: And the thing was, it wasn't that Bama was over.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Bama was sloppy in their own ways. And that crowd
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: was wrestlers when they had a couple pre-snap pills. They
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: had a couple false starts. I mean, I know Bama
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: had the talent advantage that they're supposed to win.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Williams had a couple of drops, too.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe she got a new set of hands on
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: a new name.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: He's paying tribute to his mother, Fetty, by adding Coleman
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: in Ryan Coleman Williams. I thought he got married. And
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: you're batching him.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: I thought he got married. That's why he added the Coleman.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: You think a man adds a name? Is that where
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: you're headed with your new sweetie? Because you're headed there.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Fetty thought he added his wife's name. Because I heard
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: someone say he got married. He did get married. He
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: has a kid already.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: That's why I thought the name changed. Regardless.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: How many men do you know, Finney, that add their
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: wife's name in front of their last name?
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: It's 2026. We listen and we don't judge. I bet
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: you his mama was up there in heaven telling her
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: son to catch the damn football.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: He made a lot of plays, though. But it does
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: make you wonder in SEC play. Is he going to
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: drop a couple of key ones? He dropped a touchdown.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: He's got the yips, kind of.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: I think it's weird. I mean, but he still ended
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: up going the hell off.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Russell gives me some, like, Blake Sims vibes. A little
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: bit more athletic. A little bit quicker. But the ability
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: to run the ball.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: A little bit more athletic. This dude's the truth, dude.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: This dude was, what, the number two player in the
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: country in recruiting rankings? This dude puts up 86 rushing,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: two-something pads. Like, I'm not saying he's going to be
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: all that right now, but I watched him bone and said, yeah,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I get the hype. Like, I think he's got to
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: get a little bit more accurate. Blake Sim was a
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: game manager, wasn't he?
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: But, like, I was talking about his ability to move
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: the offense with his legs. That running dimension. They kind
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: of haven't had that since they had.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Milrow. They had Milrow.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Just talk back. No one else can have a freaking
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: differing opinion other than Captain Gompers.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Can we go to break before Colin rips our Gompers out?
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: My God. I guess I shouldn't have pointed out the
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: real truth. Are you mad? You're right, Finney. They haven't
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: had a running quarterback in so long. Bryce Young didn't
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: run there either. All right, when we come back. Weekend conclusions.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: We're going to highlight two Charlotte 49er fans that may
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: have really stepped in it leading up to the game.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: And Picante and his picks. Wait till you hear what
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: he did this weekend. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: 92.7 WFN. The Satellite Gentlemen here. Happy Labor Day, everybody.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Let's not call each other wedgies because I'd have a
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: nerd to break. Commander Malik said it.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: He says, I wish I could have a camera that
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: would show you guys when you go to break and
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: you're getting into it.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Phinney did.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: I did try to apologize to Phinney. Although I probably
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: did it a jerkish way. And Finney did call me.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: What did you call me? A human wedgie?
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: What was that you said?
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: I said that the next time you have a bad comparison,
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be calling you out so I'm going
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: to be like a wedgie in middle school.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: He said you're going to be up my bleep like
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: a wedgie in school.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: You also offered to give me a hug but never
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: gave me a hug. So I'm even more determined.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hug tease you. I forgot.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: I hug teased you. During the next break, a hug
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: is happening. As an innocent bystander, Jalen Milrow in college
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: had 1,577 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns. Advantage back.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: His play style just reminds me of Blake Sims. He's
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: going to miss some throws, but he's going to make
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: some plays.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: So maybe Milrow's a good comparison. Milrow missed a ton
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: of throws, too. I think the kid is going to
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: be special. That's my prediction. I think it was far
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: from a perfect start for him.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: But he is getting ridiculously hyped, and I understand why.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: It's kind of what my point is. But we will see.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: This dude says SEC defenses will pick him off 20 times.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: So there you go. Seems a little much. Somebody is
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: calling out Russell. This dude said, my ECU buddy wouldn't
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: answer my text all Saturday or Sunday. Because he was drunk.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: You know better than that. I mean, it was just
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: a bummer. You're hoping they can compete. They have so
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: many new faces. And I still don't know what to
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: think about their quarterback situation. You know what I mean?
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: With Griffis and Emery Williams.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: That's not who I... I fear who we saw the
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: other day. that's who Charlotte is right now. That, that
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: to me, ECU against Bama, that's not an indictment on who. Now,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: if they go play App State and they look bad, well,
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: that's one thing. But I don't think they will. That's
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: playing upper class. That's not who the Pirates are.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I love the lead-up to App State because App State
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: puts the smackdown on Maine.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: ECU, you're wondering. App has beaten them the last three times.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: This is going to be a great lead-up. And like
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: you said, Bone, you hope their fans argue all week.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's get some other conclusions in here. What are
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: you concluding, Bo? I'm concluding that our guy, Picante Mac,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: who's been a listener doing his pick segment there, when
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: it first started. I wanted him to do it because
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I thought he would fail because he talks such a
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: big game. He went two and one on the show
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: picks the first week, right? Last week he went, or
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: this past Friday, he went two and one again. But
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: he sent me the slip of his picks this week,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: like legitimately. Picante went 22 for 25 on his picks
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: this week. I won money on Friday night because I
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: used one of Picante's picks.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: It's gone from I want Picante to fail just to
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: shut him up. Now he's like family to me. You're
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: a complete Picante convert. I used his San Jose State
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: plus three. You're a Picante convert. That San Jose State,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: how did he figure that out? San Jose State against
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Eastern Michigan. I guess because they rallied against USC. You
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: don't ask a magician how to do the tricks. You
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: just sit there and marvel. Picante's the man, dude. There's
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: the man.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I thought he was just one of these guys that
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: just bragged about picks but really wasn't that good at them.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: He might be the truth, man. Yeah. But anyway. He'll
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: be back on Friday at 9 o'clock and the 930.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: On two and one each week so far since he
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: has been doing his picks. So I got to give
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: him some love for this. I have just, Bone, concluded
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: that I need to keep my head on a swivel.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Somebody texted in and said, the way Mac treats Fitty
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: ain't right. Mac better watch out at the doghouse. I
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: may get some revenge on Sunday. Finn, are you putting
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: your Marlowe Mafia, or what's it called?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: The Marlowe Militia.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Is the Militia getting armed up and going to try
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: to take me out on Sunday? This ain't right.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: I cannot confirm or deny, but we are recruiting an
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: army to take you down.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: All right, so there's my first conclusion, Bone. I might
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: need you as a bodyguard on Sunday.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to drive a tank over. KB, you
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: want to be my bodyguard and co-host on Sunday?
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Shut up.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Is that your conclusion, Mac? Yeah, go ahead. What you got?
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Second one here, Mac. We had a couple of Charlotte
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: 49er fans that have gone semi-viral for declarations they made
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: last week leading up to the Citadel game. I don't
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: want to have to do this because we love Charlotte,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: but we need to call out Norvald J. Trump. The
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Niner Maniac on Twitter, who tweeted out September 3rd, if
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Citadel scores more than 10, I'll run a mile for
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: every point they score. So normal J. Trump now owes
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: this city a 43 mile run. And I told him
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: if he starts. at 6 a.m. because he can't do
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: it all in four hours. If he starts at 6 a.m.,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: we will monitor him throughout the day on the radio station. Oh,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: my God. Not to be outdone, Mac. It gets worse.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Rowdy 49er. If we would. This is September 2nd. If
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: we lose to Citadel, I will join the military. So
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: we want to wish the best to Rowdy. Now, I
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: made that bet one time if Duke lost to Army,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: I would join the Army. Army didn't want me. They
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: turned you down? They said, no, we'd rather just... They said,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: we're looking for a few good men. You ain't good.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Not a few pale men. Listen, I know there were
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: 20-point favorites in playing the Citadel, but why after last
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: season would Charlotte 49er football fans feel that frisky? I
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: don't get it. Based off what you've seen the last
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: 25 years in Charlotte sports, Charlotte 49er sports, why basketball, football,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: why would you ever say something like that? Just let
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: it play out and just shut up about it. Why
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: would you be yapping? Because it's never guaranteed for Charlotte.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Far from guaranteed.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Boney, let me give you real quick some things I
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: love about college football and things I hate about college
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: football that were on display. My man Josh Hoover for Indiana.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: having blood all over his face, and he throws a
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: touchdown pass with that nasty, bloody face.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: My God, I love that. What a gamer. What a
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: damn gamer.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: What I hate about college football, Virginia Tech players high-fiving
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: the cadets, you know, the military cadets they have there,
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: in the front row and getting a penalty for it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Hate that about college football. That's not quite as bad, Bone,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: as Michigan getting the gift that they got and Western
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Michigan getting screwed. But that's pretty annoying, man. Like James
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Franklin said, that is un-American. Michigan has set all their
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: clocks back one second. It's a new savings time. Michigan's
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: savings time. And one other thing, Bone, that I love
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: about college football, fans talking– Trash like the sign at
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: a local establishment bone in Louisiana on Saturday that went viral.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Dabo Sweeney, more like Dabo blows. I won't finish it.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I won't finish it. The trash talking, the signs. It
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: can be so witty, sometimes on PC.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: I love it, man. It's bad. Oh, my gosh. Real quick, Mac,
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: I mentioned last week that I sneezed last Monday in
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: And it put my dog Murphy in a trance where
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: for whatever reason, he behaved well for five days. Every
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: time I would make a sneeze noise, this dude would
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: almost like go like military style and line up like
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: a cadet. It is now worn off. Murphy this weekend
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: was absolutely horrible where I had to buy dog hemp
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: and try to dog hemp. You're trying to get this
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: dude high. At one point yesterday, he was sleeping on
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: top of the couch on his back. He ate a
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: remote yesterday. When I say Mac ate a remote, all
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: that's left was the back of the remote and one battery.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know where the remote is. And the channel
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: had changed. That remote might be in his stomach changing channels. Yeah,
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I think you better watch closely when you take him
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: out to go potty. I tore apart that apartment. I
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: don't know where the remote is. It's nowhere to be found.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Dude ate a whole remote yesterday. I'm pretty sure he did.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Now if he burps, it's going to put on a
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: different channel.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: I would like you, Bone, I would like you to
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: take Murphy's craziness and I would like you to market it.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: There's got to be some way that you can market
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Murphy's madness to the masses, all right? Murphy madness. Because
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: I need some dog to take down Peter the dog,
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Herbstreet's dog, from his perch. I have never been bothered
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: by Peter Herbstreet.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: People have been so mad. He got the dog in
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: the booth. They just put a headset on the dog.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: People have been very bothered by the dog.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: That was their UNC game. I've tried to have fun
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: with it. Bone, there is now Peter the Dog merchandise.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: They are selling Peter Herbstreet merchandise.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Make it stop. Each game day stop is going to
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: have a Peter pop-up shop. He had his own freaking
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: hat on the other night on TV. I need you
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: and Murphy to take this dog down as the most
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: marketed dog in America. I need you to make it happen, Bone.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: You also suggested earlier that I... Give Fitty some of
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: that dog hemp and maybe then I'll chill him out
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Bo just said, I got nothing but
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: weed for you, dog. The sneeze ain't working anymore. Let's
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: try to weed him up. I'm not even joking. Dude
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: was eating Cheetos two hours later next to me. Oh, man.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Maybe Murphy's dog hemp or something. Y'all travel around.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: Y'all need to travel around and set up pop-up shops
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: opposite Peter the dog. That's what y'all need to do, man.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: I love Peter. That sounds weird when I say it
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: like that, but I love Peter the dog. It is.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: It's becoming a lot. It's becoming a lot, by the way.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're selling merch now. My goodness. It just
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: feels forced.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: Ben was like an authentic, fun story. We got to
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: learn a little bit more about Herbstreet was. But then
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: Ben passes away. He brings Peter in. It's just a
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: little too much. I don't need to see Peter before
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: every game, during the game, during the broadcast. I don't
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: need that in my life.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: You just made Bone chuckle, by the way. No pre-game
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Peter on Finney's wish list. There we come back. David Glenn,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: the North Carolina Sports Network. He's going to talk ACC,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: but also what's the future of Bill Belichick? What's the
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: fallout from the news last week involving Lombardi and the program?
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: All that and more, Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
