  Speaker 1: He was a little mad at me.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: But he was gimpy. So I said to him.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm going back in next play.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I said, no, you're not.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You'll go back in when I put you in. So
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we had a little discussion. And then he said, no,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going back.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: I'm fine.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And I said, no, you're going to sit right here.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And then I said, you know, I said.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of Wally Pipp?
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: You ever heard of Wally Pipp? You have?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Come on, Chapel.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: All right, so of course he hadn't.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Heard of Wally Pip either. Probably, you know, Larry, have
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you heard of Wally Pip? The famous Wally Pip story? Okay,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: so you know why you hadn't heard of Wally Pip?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Because he took a day off, all right, and they
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: put this guy named Lou Gehrig in, I think.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: You probably heard of him.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And so that's what I told Tate. I said, so
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I may never.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Put you back in, all right?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So we had a little back and forth about the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Wally Pip story, and then we put him back in.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, God. Can't Dabo play Charleston Southern every week? He
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: would be so much fun in these interviews. Lou Gehrig.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Chapel Lou Gehrig, one of the original gotcha guys. He
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: told Wally Pipp, I got your job.
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, man. Chapel, you mean to tell me your pop
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Scott Fowler observer columnist didn't sit you down and teach
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: you the Wally Pipp Lou Gehrig story? Oh, my God. Anyway,
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: so that's Dabo having a good time after their route
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: win over Charleston Southern. I have to be honest with you.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: I guess he got dinged up. Tate Reynolds third quarter,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: they put him back in. I watched the first half
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: and probably like half of the third quarter and then realized, Bone,
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: on my four-screen multi-view— that I steal from your YouTube TV,
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: that I need to get that game off and get
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: another game. You know what I mean? Like, there's other games.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: There's value. Like, SMU Virginia, I need to work in there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: So anyway, I'm watching the first half of that game.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: I have never seen a team be up 34 to
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: nothing and have a quarterback play so badly. I mean,
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Tate Reynolds is throwing passes all over the yard. So
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: damn inaccurate, trying to get passes down. I was like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: he looks terrible. Now, on the other side of things,
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: I think they had like 77 total yards of offense,
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Charleston Southerners. So the defense was kind of in control.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: They have Virginia Tech at home Saturday night.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Ooh, that's juicy. That's juicy. Virginia Tech bounced back and
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: beat Georgia Tech. All right, so this was an absolute
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: classic weekend. By the way, this is the type of
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: weekend of college football with five top seven teams losing,
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Miami playing a double overtime thriller but winning and moving
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: from three to number one.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: BYU jumped all the way from... Where were they at, Bone?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: They're all the way at two now. They were ten, right?
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Ten. Ten to two. I think they were ten. This
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: is the weekend where I would point to that NIL
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: makes the sport better. Yeah, you have all these headaches
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: that are annoying in the court cases. That stuff's no good.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: But on the field, NIL has spread out the talent,
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: and you just have so much more parity than we're
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: used to having in a sport that has been so top-heavy, Bone.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: You see Auburn knock off a Georgia team that looked
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: like the best team in the country against Alabama. Like,
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: there's just... There's a parody about college football right now
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: that I freaking love. And I think it was on
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: DisplayBone on Saturday. Yeah, I thought Tennessee was in a
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: bad spot against Bama.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: There was another one, yeah. I was wrong about that one.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: And I thought of all these teams making all this chaos...
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I thought Miami and Georgia were going to put themselves
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: above that having a loss because Miami plays in the ACC. Well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: they almost had a loss, and Georgia had one. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: thought Georgia was playing at a level that would avoid
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: a regular season loss, but not in that conference. Any
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: given Saturday right now in the SEC, and a lot
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: of times the teams that are the highest entering the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: week end up suffering an L by the end of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the next week. It's just a matter of who you
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: are at that time and who.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: You're playing, basically. It's crazy.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Missouri got sent back to earth after a couple weeks
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: on a high.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: They did. Why do you want to mention that right now, Bo?
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I'm just using that as an example. Because you know
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: the P-man's listening. He's texting. But they're a prime example
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: of a team that was getting hot and then to
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: not even score a touchdown against Ole Miss was shocking.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: It's a drunk football season, especially in the SEC, where
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: everybody has a loss now. But it's upsets all over
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: the place. It's mood swings all over the place. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: it just makes for entertaining as all get out. It
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: really does. And that's why it's like... I get why
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: we're moving to 24. They've got to desperately try to
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: find a way to pay the players, because God forbid
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: we pay the players. And maybe the administrators and coaches
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: could take less money. No, that's not possible. So they've
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: got to find a way to pay the players. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: get it. But this sport right now, I just think
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: in terms of on the field and the way it's run...
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: I like the 12-team playoff a lot. I just like
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: the way it is when you get it out of
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: the courtroom's bone. I just think it's beautiful. I really do.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: How about Kentucky avoiding what I thought was a tough
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: spot on Saturday? Going to Oklahoma. Oklahoma coming off the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: big win at Texas. I thought Kentucky was due. for
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: maybe a little humbling. That's not true. They go into Norman,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and from the get-go, they're in control of that game.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Kentucky now goes 6-1. That is a legit SEC playoff contender,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: although they have tough games coming up. They'll probably lose
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a game or two more. But that first year by
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Will Stein, you're talking about National Coach of the Year candidate.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: That's one guy right there. Big time, big time. They
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: were seven-point dogs at Oklahoma. I thought they were. Seven-point dogs.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: But guess who picked Kentucky in that game? Who's that?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: The guy at the sportsbook I was talking to. Okay, okay. No, no, no,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: trust me, it wasn't me. Bone, stop me if you've
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: heard this before. Oklahoma turned the ball over four times,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: three of them by John Mateer. Like, stop me if
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: you've heard that before. Like, that feels like that's the
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: storyline of every loss Oklahoma has. And the thing I
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: was surprised about with the Georgia loss, for two things.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: First of all, Byron Brown looked like Cam Newton against
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Georgia's defense. I mean, bone, George had a bunch of sacks.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: So this isn't even take, this is taking off sack
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: yards out of his rush total. He still had a
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: buck 25 rushing against them, but Gunner Stockton, the savvy
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: veteran quarterback with the veteran looking hairline that I did
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: not see that dude bone, turning it over three times
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: the way he did. And he had the interceptions, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Kirby went over on the sideline and said, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: they said he was saying, you know, wipe that one away, right?
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Let's just get out there and let's refocus. We're still
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: in this. For him then, after the two interceptions, to
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: fumble the ball to set up their game-winning field goal.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: And then how about, talk about beating yourself. How about
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: the kid's dumb late hit?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: On Brown. Like, they just– Kirby said it after the game.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: He said, we beat ourselves, and that's our number one
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: rule around here is not to. But they'll be– I mean,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: they'll be back. It's just– it's one– the SEC is crazy.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, there is no doubt in my mind, Bone–
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Three lost, probably multiple three lost teams from the SEC
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: are making the playoff because these teams are beating each
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: other up.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: That includes Florida getting back on track.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Florida's good again, y'all. Beating Texas. Mack, I have
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: a question. Back up QB.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I have a question about Arch Manning, Mackers. We don't
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: know the exact answer here, but it's more of a
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: hypothetical or just throwing it out there type thing. Are
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: we sure that he likes football?
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Why do you say likes football? I think you can ask,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: are we sure he's good?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a combo of both because I feel like
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I watch a guy that has the name Manning, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he's not good. And I don't know if there's a
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: joy or he plays with the pressure because his last
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: name is Manning.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Maybe pressure. He does nothing to wow me out there.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Absolutely nothing. Maybe pressure. Where did the dual threat ability
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: go that we heard so much about when he was
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: younger that this guy is a Manning but can run?
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: You'll see it in glimpses, but not enough. But where's
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: the passing part of the Manning?
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Where's the good part of the Manning?
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: You're asking questions about Arch. To me, that was a
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: loss that comes back to Sark. You're at home after
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: a disappointing loss the week ago. You're double-digit favorites at
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: home against a team with a backup quarterback.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: To me, Arch wasn't great, obviously.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Well, his quarterback's not good. That's part of the problem.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: His run game, they can't run the ball. His O-line,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: they can't block. I agree with you. Sark's not getting
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: a lot out of this offense at all. For all
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the money they spent on all these players. I'm not
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: saying he needs to be fired now. They're not going
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to make the playoff this year, I don't think.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: In my opinion, Matt, with as much resources, the funds
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: that they've put in that program on a year-on-year-out basis,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: next year he's coaching for his job.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Point blank period.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: He probably is. He probably is.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Because I'd like to remind you that at Texas there were.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: A lot of.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Without Mac Brown, Daryl Royal, and Sark there. You know
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: what I mean? Don't take it for granted. I've seen
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: a lot of teams lose games in Austin, Texas. Watch
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: this week, though. Texas has lost two in a row.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Ole Miss is coming off a blowout at home with Missouri.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: So you think Texas wins? They now go to Austin
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: and play Texas. Watch what happens now in that conference.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: Now Ole Miss won't show up, and Texas will show
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: up this week. Just the way it's been, right? It's definitely,
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: you're right. If you try to figure out, people always
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: try to figure out what's the most ACC result that's
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: going to happen, right? That's very ACC, right? You think
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: a team's good, they lose. In the SEC, it's, you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: a team looks good, just wait for them the next week.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: So that, I guess, Texas just doesn't look like a
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: great team, but they beat Ohio State, who won in Bloomington. Mac,
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: you know what?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Conference.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: But they only won.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Because Nick Marsh couldn't get his feet in, Mac. Sneaky
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: good conference, Mac. It's the Big 12 all of a sudden.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: You mentioned BYU's ranking. Houston got a big win at
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: home over Oklahoma State. Utah keeps on rolling along. Texas
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Tech is still in the top 10. All of a sudden, Mac,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you look up and the Big 12 has 49ers. teams
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: in the top 14, depending on what poll you're looking
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: at right now. Big 12 is getting some more. Big
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: 10 is going to get multiple bids, I think. Well,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the BYU win was huge for their conference.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: It really was. But Utah, although they had a close one,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: they had a scare against Colorado, only won by three.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: But the Big 12 is looking much better positioned than
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: the ACC to get two bids in the playoffs. Yes,
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I agree. And that sucks as an ACC fan because
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: that's kind of who I judge us against. Can one
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: of the conferences get two? And maybe Wake Forest will
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: keep blowing the brakes off people. I mean, it looks
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: like their offense gets better every time out. They keep
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: adding new people to the mix. The Foley kid looks
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: like a great second receiver. They now got a tight
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: end and go over a hundred. So I maybe wakes
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: the hope. But the Big 12 looks to be in
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: that position. If y'all have any college football conclusions, we
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: hadn't even really talked about Notre Dame, BYU, Catholics versus Mormons.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Score one for the Mormons, 7-0-4, 5-7-0, 9-6-10. And then
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: we got to talk about the Florida State Miami because
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: I'm glad Miami won. Malachi Toney is freaking ridiculous. Darian
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Mensah is ridiculous. But their defense bone got lit up
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: by the Florida State offense. Ashton Daniels threw for well
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: over 300 on them. I felt like the refs, again,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Miami still might have won the game, Bone. Florida State,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: all they were trying to do was get a touchdown,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: a two-point conversion just to extend the game. So even
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: if they extended, Miami might still win. Those games were
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: basically bang, bang, right, you know, at the ends of them.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: I felt like Florida State and Notre Dame both got
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: screwed by the officials, which is annoying because it's a
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: storyline way too often in college football.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that holding call was so late. It looked like
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: just a pancake block. It didn't look like a holding
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: call to me. I thought it was ridiculous. That was so,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: like the ACC made the call and said, yeah, by
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the way, let's throw that flag 20 seconds late.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: That's the thing, is both of these games, Bone, with
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: the officiating controversies, They're both done by ACC and Big
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: 12 officials. And by the way, why are Big 12
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: officials doing that game? We can't get a conference that
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: doesn't have anything to do with the game? To do
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: the game? Yeah, that's a great question. Why in these
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: non-conference games, why do you have a conference that's involved
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: in the game doing it? I think that's something that
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: they could change easily. Um, and, and, and both of
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: these benefited the conferences who officials and replay officials did it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: So then the conspiracy theories start up, but yeah, I,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: I don't even know for sure bone, if that was
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: an interception or was it a double catch? Cause if
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: it's a double catch on the second Hail Mary, that's
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: supposed to be a touchdown. Again, Miami might still win,
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: but it's just, I felt bad for Florida state, even
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: though I wanted Miami to win for ACC purposes. Um,
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: the Notre Dame job game, Notre Dame job. That's pretty
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: much what it was. First of all, I want to
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: say this to my fellow Golden Dome haters. Was that
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: not a hilarious way to watch them lose? I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: touchdown Jesus, Bone. Touchdown Jesus wouldn't let that happen at home.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: But I find it amusing and funny because their big
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: mantra this year, Bone, leave no doubt. I think you
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: left some doubt.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: You had to scramble it to the end.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: You left it there in Provo. And you left it
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: into the officials' hands. But... Some of these screw jobs
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: in college football lately are atrocious. And I truly wonder,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: do the referees ever pay a price? Like, it's very
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: rarely you hear that. There should be announcements of suspensions.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: like they're firing yeah fire them too but at least
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: a suspension at least i'll start there fitty suspension how
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: about you dr pay or something like that because there's
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: a ton of money on the line bone in college
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: football there's coaches jobs on the line in college football
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: and it happens every week where someone can't read a
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: clock you know every week they couldn't spot the ball
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: in the oregon who was that game oregon ucla game
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: couldn't spot the damn ball right on a two-point try Like,
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: it's ridiculous. So, Notre Dame got screwed. Was Golden Bone
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: upset at Notre Dame getting screwed, Boney? Nope, I didn't care.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: Why would I care? I thought you had a partial, like,
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame affinity.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: But I don't, like, I don't get worked up over, like,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I just, I respect them. I used to root for them,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: so I don't really root against them. I was wanting
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: them to win, but I don't sit there and get
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: all over my fields.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: Plus, I was... sitting in the dark crying because a
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Duke lost already earlier in the day. Were you on
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: the Smoke Ludwig, Golden Domers, ESPN, and the refs are
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: out to get Notre Dame text.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Line on Saturday night? Smoke was a vibe on Saturday night. Mack,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: want to give a shout out to Jesse Wigrete. He
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is the freshman 5'10 wide receiver from Oregon State who's
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: starting to get some low-end Heisman buzz there. I don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: think he's going to win it, but there's starting to
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: be some chatter based off the numbers. As a freshman, Mac,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: he's on pace for over 2,000 yards and 28 touchdowns
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: for the Beavers. As a 5'10 wide out young kid,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: his nickname is the problem kid. Jeremy Problem Kid LaGree,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: or excuse me, Jesse Problem Kid LaGree.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: How about that? And my question is, how much money
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: is he going to get into Portal next year? What
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: schools is he transferring to? That's what Spoonie's asking. Where's
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: he going to transfer to? That feels like Miami, doesn't it?
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: This dude said, Mac, I would like you to rank
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: the Notre Dame Shaftings. Was it the pass interference not
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: called or was it the one second on the clock
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: that they just ignore ignored? I think the replay officials,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: you know, pass interference is a judgment call, although that
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: one felt pretty blatant. He had both arms out, not
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: letting the dude get to the football. I think it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: also unfair. That felt pretty blatant.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's unfair they made Notre Dame play such
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: a highly ranked team. But how do they? Where's Herbstreet
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: when we need him?
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Call him that game. Can we play the Herbstreet? Herbstreet, yeah.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: He was in the booth thinking that Notre Dame needed
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: a field goal to tie the game. How about that one?
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: That was weird. Hey, they're trying to win this in overtime. Yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: because the only alternative is a win in regulation. The
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: only alternative is they lose in a regulation, Kirk. A
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: field goal makes them lose by one. But anyway, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: think the fact that they're sitting there in the replay
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: booth and no one notices a second, I think is worse.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I have to be honest. It's almost like, what are you,
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: what are you, like, you talk about firings, Fetty? How
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: about the replay? The pass interference kind of felt like
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: hand fighting a little bit.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I thought it was P.I. I thought it was definite P.I.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I leaned that way, but I could see why they
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: wouldn't call that one. But it's a judgment call, right?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: And you're like, oh, so much is on the line,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: that sort of thing. In the replay booth, how do
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you not notice the seconds left? What are you doing
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: up there?
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Scratching your rear end? Like, seriously, what on earth are
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: you doing? Getting ready to hit the Provo nightlife? Like,
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's just, that's unexplainable. Were you afraid to
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: tell the kids to get the hell off the field
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: or something? Like, I just don't understand.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: And it also makes you wonder how many games in
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: the past have been impacted and we just didn't pay
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: this close attention to it. But now it's been brought
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: to our attention because how Michigan was able to come
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: back and win in week one.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Like Pablo Torre, this is your next investigation.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: Find out how many games referees have screwed teams at
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: a time because they can't count.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: It was like Michigan crap all over again, man. It's just,
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: it's unbelievable. Yes. Counting is fundamental. Do we need to get, yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: do we need to put some Sesame Street on with
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: the count to help you all out? And the thing is, Bone,
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: the conspiracy theories come so naturally because they're Big 12 referees. Oh, yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: it's built in. It's built in, yes. Did the replay
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: crew in that booth say, shoot, there's a second left?
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: There was a second left when the ball hit the ground.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: but I don't think anybody's going to notice. Look, everybody's
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: on the field. Should we just let it go? That
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: makes me wonder if that was the conversation.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: All the stuff we're officiating, we should hear what's going on,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: like the ACC and the Big 12 does. It should
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: all be out there publicly of what we hear. All stuff,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: all across, all college football.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. Although you have the ACC crew, and I'll applaud,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: like you're saying, that they do this, but they're talking
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: through the Deuce Robinson, like what might have been a
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: double catch. And I'm like, they're not acknowledging that the
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: wide receiver also had his hands on the ball the
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: whole time. Yeah, that was kind of weird. They are saying, hey,
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: it's in the stomach of the defender, you know? Anyway,
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know, man. Regardless of whether or not we're
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: bitching about the refs, man, what a freaking weekend of
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: drunk college football drama.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: When we come back, should the ugliness of the wind
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: bother Panther fans today? Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Coach just said that in front of all of us.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: There's no such thing as ugly win. Do we know
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: that there's tons of stuff for us to go back
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and clean up, stuff for us to improve on, stuff
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: for us to look in the mirror tomorrow when we
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: get back to work, 100%. But, you know, a win's
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a win. In this league, you can't take that for granted.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: You know, we found a way. That's always the most
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: important thing. And it's always more fun cleaning stuff up
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: on the winning end. But that doesn't take the urgency
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: away from having to make sure that we get things
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: corrected and that we're better in the stuff we need
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to improve on next week.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: There it is. That's Bryce Young. Is that good enough
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: for some of you nitpicking texters out there? I want
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: to talk about the win, and the win was 149
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: penalty yards. I can be excited about that one. Bryce Young,
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: barely 50% completion. These are some of the things that
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: have brought up today. Now, I do want to acknowledge, Bone,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: it's a very small minority of fans. It was enough
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: to get Fitty screaming at them earlier, though. And each
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: hour we kind of just mention it and like two
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: or three more nitpickers will show up.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: When did we become... First of all, it's the NFL.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: You take your win, you move to the next tee box.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Look at the Rams. The Rams are 2-4, right? But
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: when did the Panthers specifically, Bone, become a team that
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: we hold to a standard in 2026 that you must
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: blow out a team like Philadelphia on the road? I
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: love the fact that they made all those mistakes but
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: found a way to overcome it. To me, it shows
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: something because I do believe... There are times in the
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: past where maybe they wouldn't have won a game like that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: A couple weeks ago, they didn't win an ugly game
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: against Cleveland.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: They're a team in a franchise that's learning how to
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: win again, how to close games, how to win on
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the road when you're the favorite and the other team
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: is banged up, and that is a game you should win.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: They did that yesterday.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: We're not in a spot here like the 2015 Panthers
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: where we expect to go in there to a road
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: venue and win with style points, 31-10. Hopefully that comes
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: along the way. But right now, it's about getting wins.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: And I think getting wins in different ways is important,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: whether it's blowing out Atlanta or going in winning a tough,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: ugly game. Winning in different ways is vitally important to
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the future success to find the consistency that we want
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: this franchise to have. Because every week is different this week.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: You're not going to be the same every week.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Here's the thing, and I don't know if it's the
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: same fans that are doing this that are lamenting how
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: ugly the win was and all that stuff, but how
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: can we be a fan base bone that on Friday
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: did the paranoid Panther fan thing? Oh my God, I'm
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: worried about this one. Mack and Bone are at the
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: sports book. They're going to ruin everything. Guess what? Your
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: boys didn't ruin it, huh? We helped out. These are
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: the games we lose when we should win. We can't
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: win two in a row. Like all that talk. How
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: can we do all that? Well, they can't win three
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: in a row. How can we do all that talk, Bone?
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: And then when we do win by 11 points on
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: the road, despite a franchise high 13 penalties for 149 yards, well,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: then you're like, that wasn't good enough. Like, which one
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: are we? Are we the ones that are like, woe
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: is us, they're going to let us down again? Like,
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: how can you be that, but 11 points on the
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: road's not good enough? And by the way, a lot
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: of you have pointed out, if Dave Canales wasn't the
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: kindest man in coaching, they could have ran that football
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: again and scored and made it an 18-point margin of victory.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: And how many points, Bone, were taken away because of penalties?
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: I know Rob Hunt's the one ineligible man downfield penalty.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: I have a very strong feeling that took some points away.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: We were going to be in the red zone after
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: that deep ball to Mitchell Evans. So I feel pretty
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: strongly that's going to be points of some sort. So
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: how many points were taken away because we lost tons
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: of field position on a great return? So to me,
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: I love the fact that we can make all those mistakes,
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: hurt ourselves, and still find a way to win a
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: game on the road. I love the fact that Jiro
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Avero sees that third-time starter at quarterback, sees his backups
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: playing a corner, and says, I'm going to blitz the
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: ever-living crap out of that dude. Like, I absolutely love that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: And we should celebrate that stuff, man.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Rob Hunt needs a beeper or a buzzer in his
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: helmet when he starts to wander too far.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Like an electrical fence type thing. Bang. He gets zapped.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: He comes on back.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I told you in the second hour, he's wandering like
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: my old uncle Augie used to do.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Right through the yard. Come back.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: You're going too far, Augie. I mean, that's three times
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: this year, Mac. He's just wandering down the field. Three
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: times in the last two games. He said he put
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: his hand up for a pass at one point.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: 704 number says, let's see here. What happened to Rob Hunt, y'all?
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I'm not a whiny winner. I'm happy we won, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: is he okay? Yeah, he went pretty bad on a
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: run block also. I didn't think it was a horrible
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: game for him all around. I thought our O-line played
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: pretty good, Bone, in general. I think it was PFF's
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: initial number was 28% pressure allowed, which is probably down
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: about 10% from what we're usually allowing. Run blocking, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: thought got better in the second half, obviously, when we
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: committed to it. And then Chuba, I don't know how
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: many yards after contact, but Chuba was a grinder like
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: he always is. The tight ends were mauling people in
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: the run game. Tommy Tremble had a block on the
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Chuba fourth and one run that he broke. And it
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: was just, it was just, It was a felony, probably
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: a 48-states bone. Luckily, though, in the city of Philadelphia,
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: it's not. That's just a little brotherly love in the
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: city of Philadelphia. They just call that Sunday, getting their
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: ass kicked.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I have the updated– this is– I'm at a website, Max,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: check it out, called playoffstatus.com, where you can check out
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: the percentage chances. You've probably been there before. Oh, we
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: do it every year. I didn't know it was playoffstatus.com.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: That's one of them. There's many.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: The Panthers right now are at 65% chance to make
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. 35% chance to advance past one game. 16%
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: chance at the conference championship. and give me that 8%
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: chance to make the Super Bowl.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: How about that, baby? How about that? Don't let us
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: have good chances. I'm telling you, I'm watching this team.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Now, Bone— Above Seattle, by the way, in the Rams
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: for now, playoff chances here.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: We're up a game and a half now. We're up
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: a game and a half. Bone Man was close to
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: going lock city on the division. Finney brought up three games.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: What was it? Three games galore. We're going to win
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: the division by three games or more. What was your
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: own thing? I don't know if I want to get
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: that frisky, but can y'all not see the potential of
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: this team as our division keeps floundering Falcons loose.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: And now we're a game and a half over Falcon Saints.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Saints did come back and win and then come back
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: and then hold off to win. This team's starting to
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: get healthier. Wait until we get the corners back. The defense, Bone,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: the way the defense has played ever since the Bears game. Now, granted,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: their stats, Bone, are not going to be fully recovered
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: from the Bears game for a while now, but they
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: continue to lock teams down. The run defense, they're giving up, Bone,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: 40 yards rushing per game in the last two weeks.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: That includes the game against Jameer Gibbs. Oh, yeah. Like,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: they are getting after it. And Averro's top five blitz
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: are in the league right now. They've shut down Bijon, Gibbs,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: and Barkley. He didn't do anything yesterday.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Mack, speaking of that.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: He looked miserable yesterday, by the way, watching that crap.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Haven't seen him look like that since the Giants years. Mack,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: we have a 3-3-6 number that says, you guys are
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: overlooking why some fans are praising this win. It's because
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: the Eagles are so banged up, we should have blown
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: them out by more.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: I think we get what y'all are saying. Was that
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Magic Johnson texting it? I mean, I get what you're saying,
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: but it's like we won by double digits in the end.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: It's an NFL football game where anything truly can happen.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: What is the number seven backup quarterbacks that won games
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: this year? We made that offense look like we should
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: make that offense look. Will Lee, how are you not
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: excited about Will Lee? Zaki Wheatley's another guy. Makes the
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: big pass break up bone on fourth down. This kid,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: by the way, has taken away ransom snaps. Ransom only
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: played one snap yesterday. He's one of the highest-graded rookies
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: in the league. Wheatley played like 40. Yeah, one of
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: the highest-graded, for what it's worth, defensive rookies. That's my thing,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: is there's just a lot to be excited about. Idzik,
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, we are always all over our offensive coordinator,
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: whoever it is. Where's the praise for some of this stuff?
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: It's extraordinary. How about Coker out of the backfield?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Third and eight. You're backed up in a tenuous moment
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: of the game. You're up by six and you throw
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Coker in the backfield with a great play design of
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: all the times to do it. You just put your
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: stones out there and said, look what I'm working with.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Look at that minute. Created a mismatch and Coker put
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: a move on Zach Ballin, man. And how about the
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: creating of the mismatch for T-Mac in the slot against Makuba? Um,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: the former Clemson safety, uh, Ross Tucker walked you through it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: They motioned Metchie over. He went all the way outside.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: They knew the safety would jump or the corner would
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: jump out with him. So they had TMAC on safety
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: corner route, 18 yards. Like it's just the two touchdowns
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: to me were scheme touchdowns to tremble the, the, the blocking,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: the delay look.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Okay. I'm going to block. No, I'm not blocking. And
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: I just fooled you touchdown. The, um, the little throwback-type
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: play bone off the play-action kind of semi-boot. Like, I
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: just thought Idzik was in his bag of goodies yesterday, baby.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Mack, your guy Amit, your dear friend, he's a Panther fan, right?
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Are you back to Washington fan this week, Amit? I
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: can't keep track, baby. Remember, this is a Panther fan.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Here's what he says. On the text line, 704-570-9610. You
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: got to talk about flags on both sides, Homer Mack.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Panthers got their first TD because they got a new
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: set of downs after a Phantom third down penalty on
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: the Eagles secondary. This is a Panther fan who wants you, Mac,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: to be fair that the refereeing was bad on both sides.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Phantom. I don't remember what was the play. But this
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: is a fan.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: What fan is like, Mac, you're not being fair to
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: the calls that our team got yesterday?
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you're a fan.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: I don't know. You just might be texting. By the way,
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: your Washington team plays tonight a bit, so go switch
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: your gear out there. Hey, man, your heels won, baby.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: Your heels are getting it going. What was the P.I.? Listen,
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: we did get a third down pass interference. There's no
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: doubt about it. We did get help from them on
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: that drive. We also got two touchdowns were set up
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: by short fields as well off either their bad punt
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: when a dude hit it with his ankle.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: That was that drive. And then in the second half,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: we had the block punt. Shout out Trey Tyus on
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: that play. So, yeah, we did have a couple of
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: short fields.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Or whatever yeah i just don't know what is i
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: don't know what his point is like you're a fan
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: that just wants to point out that we're not really
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: good is that what your whole thing is how how
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: is that any fun way to live like finney said
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: it earlier fit when you were screaming about the fans
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: that were nitpicking and saying dude We should have taken
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: care of that Eagle team or whatever, right? Like, we
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: wait all year for football. We claim to love football.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: If you claim to love the Panthers, why do you
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: want to be miserable after wins, after what we've been
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: through over the last decade?
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, Mac.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: It's just crazy. Just a different way of fanning than
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: my way of fanning. My way of fanning is pom-poms, rah-rah, sis-coon-bah.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Amit is getting drilled on the text line right now. Oh,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: he is now. Uh-oh.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh, Amit.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: Pandor Bo said he's a sad little man.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Ha-ha.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: It's just a strange way to fan. It makes you wonder. Oh,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: good morning, Monday. How can I not have a great
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: day today? Yeah, how can I annoy Mac and Boney?
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: We fell for it. We might have fallen into the
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: trap door, Boney.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: I just think it matters how it looks in certain sports.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Like college football, I think style points do matter.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: You're trying to impress a committee.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no committee here, man.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: In college basketball, I want my team to look a
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: certain way in certain situations. In the NFL, it's just
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: score more points than the opponent. no matter which way
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: you have to do so. And for people that don't
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: want to be excited, this could be the difference between
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: them being 8-9, 9-8. This could be the win that
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: puts them over the top for, I don't know, Matt,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: could they get to third in the NFC because of
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: how bad the NFC East is? Like, yeah, right now,
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: does the win feel that important?
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Maybe not. We're only a third of the way through.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: But when we're looking back in January and we're trying
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: to figure out who we want to play in the playoffs,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: this win will matter.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I think every every win in this league matters. You're
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: not playing baseball here. You only play so many of
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: these things.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. And we're the Carolina Panthers. I don't know if
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: you've noticed the win totals have been a little low
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: at times over the last decades. And pardon me if
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: three and two feels like cause for concern. And I'm
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: starting to wonder if this is a double digit win team.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: I'm starting to wonder.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: It's not good for the 10-win wagon because it's still
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: barely hanging on.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: I'm starting to wonder if my name needs to go
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: back on there after I drop.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Down the nine wins.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Are you off there?
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: I'm at nine wins. I've been at nine wins, Bone.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I had mine between six and ten at one point.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to wonder if I should go back up
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: because this team's getting healthier. There's potential. The run game,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: can we get the run game more consistent? Chuba's having
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: a hell of a season. The tight ends are becoming weapons,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: unlike they've been before. Bone throws me the marker. When
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Coker plays, he's got to stay healthy. Coker and T-Mac
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: are lethal. Bryce's bad games are 91 rating, 281 yards,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: two tutties, no picks. And this defense for the last
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: four weeks... Yeah, it's been fine.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Like, there is a lot. There's meat on this bone.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: By the way, we got to make, and people are
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: going crazy right now, either on Amit or us or whatever.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I just love, I love the passion. Stop rhyming his
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: name with cuss words. We have to. We can't read those, y'all.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: As much as we want to. About Amit doesn't know.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: You know, we can't read those. I have to salute
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: the best moment of the Panther Monday, Bone. It's not
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: even celebrating a Panthers win. It is celebrating love. Thanks
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: to relationship insider Willie P., who noticed this on social media,
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Fitty and his lovely girlfriend Maddie have gone Facebook official.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's no turning back now. That's one step from
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: the wedding.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, baby!
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Once you get the Facebook folks involved, you can't break
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: up now. Oh, my goodness! Zuckerberg's involved!
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Ow!
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Tara and I can't be on there, Finney, because she
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: doesn't have Facebook. She made that choice. Probably her second
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: best choice besides me.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: She may love you. She may be so into you,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: she may go Facebook. She may get a Facebook account
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: just to go Facebook official. Just to make it official? Yeah,
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: just to tell the world.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, we'll react to that news. And, Mac,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: an NFL GM fired this morning.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: We'll give you that news as well as we get
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: you ready for Monday Night Football tonight as well. Sports Radio,
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly my point, just before I look at that,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: is Notre Dame plays two games where they're going to
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: be challenged. This one, where they're favored, and Miami at home.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Think about what Alabama and Georgia and Ohio State and
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: these teams, what they're dealing with. So that cannot continue.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: That's an embarrassment and incredibly unfair. But this week, they're
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: going to face a hostile environment.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Herbie, man, rough weekend for Notre Dame, Bo. And Herbie.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: Herbie on ESPN goes after their schedule. You heard it there,
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: an embarrassment that has to change. Herbie, welcome to my world, baby.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: I've been trying to say this about the vaunted independent
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: schedule where they play Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: I've been trying to call this schedule out. Phoenix Online.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: For damn decades, Herbster. Welcome to the club, my friend.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Welcome to the club. And no, it will not change, Herbie.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: I've got news for you. It will not change. I'm
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: a Herbie guy. I support him, even though people go
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: against him a lot of times. Even in these trying times.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: However, the other day when he said Notre Dame is
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: going to try to win this in regulation. When they're
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: down by four at the end of the game. Yeah, Herbie,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: they had to try to win regulation. What choice do
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: they have? Let me check the math here. Okay, you're
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: down by, was it 24-20? Was that the score, I believe?
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Was that it? Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: They're down 24-20, Herbie. If they try to settle for
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: a field goal, that puts it at 24-23, and they
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: lose the game.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Herbs.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: He had a rough moment there.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: He might be tired back from all his traveling and
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: from hanging out with Peter the Dog so much.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: But what about Gus Johnson? Gus has got to get
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: called out, too. Field goal is good. No. And then
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: the Nick Marsh touchdown. Oh, hold on a second. He
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: wasn't in. There were some rough calls this weekend.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: How about Tom Harmack on the FSU Miami one on
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the second? Hail Mary that went to the review when
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: we couldn't tell who had the ball. He yelled out,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Robinson has it for the Dolphs! He didn't say, does
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: he have it? Is that a catch?
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: If you're a Florida State fan, you had to be
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: hating him on that one. He must have teased the
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: crap out of you. As a Buckeye hater, I got
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: teased on the Nick Marsh one, Gus. I was running around.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: The house, yes!
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: Two losses for the Buckeye!
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: No!
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: But they did lose Julian Sane for weeks with a
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: shoulder injury.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: You were running, Mac?
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: So... Nah, it was kind of more of a... Nah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: it was really just a walk. A light dad jog?
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: It was kind of like a fast walk with my
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: hands in the air, kind of. It wasn't too much.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Don't worry about me, Finney. It wasn't too much exertion.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Two pieces of breaking NFL news. Chris Ballard is out
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: as the Colts GM after 10 years. Now go ahead, Mac,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: and do your thing here.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: My God, Carly's Notes. Now I know what Carly's Notes
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: said yesterday. This GM sucks. Carly, you could have taken
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: those notes years ago.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: She wrote down Tennessee's record and said, are we losing
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: to this team?
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Did you see the social media meme where it was
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: her and then it was a fake notepad that said,
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: we are losing to Cam effing Ward. I mean, Cam
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: effing Ward. Also, Mac, Andy Dalton has signed. With the
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Atlanta Falcons on his bird tour. Oh, how dare you.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: How dare you. The bird tour hits Atlanta. Yeah, the
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Eagles wanted him back. The Eagles wanted him back with
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: Hurts on IR. And he said, nope, I got another
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: team now. I get the feeling he wasn't too happy
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: that they demoted him and released him after that interception.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: So where does he slot in? Do you think he
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: becomes Tua's backup? Because I don't know if you saw
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: the clip. Tua's backup?
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: No, I mean the backup to Pennix in front of Tua.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Because Cooper Rush got let go this morning also.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw the clip, we didn't
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: talk about it, of the Ravens defensive players when they
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: realized Tua was in the game.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: They were throwing a celebration.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: And then who was the corner that picked off the pass?
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: It wasn't Humphrey, was it? No, but he was involved. No,
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: it was Kyle Hamilton. Yeah, Humphrey was involved in the
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: talking about it. It was Kyle Hamilton. He said, oh,
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: I'm getting me an interception. Tua's in there. And he
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: went out and did it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: So the league, that's what the league thinks of Tua.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: So I don't know. But the Andy Dalton looks pretty
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: much cooked, too. I got to be honest. Yeah, Atlanta
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: pretty much looks cooked. That's some cooked bird during the fall. Oh, man.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: All right. Anyway, let's see what we got here. 7045709610.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: Send your text in, baby. We love your text and
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: we're going to respond. Darren says Andy Dalton is straight
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: up stealing money. Yeah, you could tell last season in
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: the preseason bone and then in the start he had
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: to make, although he did break his finger. But like
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: you could tell this ain't the same. It started to
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: look like, oh, man. So anyway, well, I'm sure the
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: Falcons will figure it out eventually. What a shame. What
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: a shame. This texter says, Fitty just said that win
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: could be the difference in 8-9 and 9-8. Thank you
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: for the advanced math, Fitty.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, math isn't easy for this show, okay? Let alone
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: our listeners.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: Sweet Cheek says, please stay off the 10-win wagon, Matt.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: I'm excited, though. Don't y'all like it when I'm excited? No.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Who are you more excited for, Mac, the Panthers or
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Fiddy going Facebook official? Oh, God, that's a tie. This
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: is big news, baby. Fiddy, don't get married during Super
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Bowl weekend, all right? We need to keep our plans open.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: All right, let's see. Oh, this is Bangle Guy. Bangle Guy.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Doesn't Mac run the scoreboard in high school soccer and
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: forget to put a goal on the board? So him
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: criticizing BYU's timekeepers is a little rich.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're not a pro. You're just some hack
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: they found in the stands.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: Exactly. Yeah, I'm just a hack that makes no money.
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: These are people actually getting paid by me. the conference
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: to be replay officials. Couldn't they not buzz down and say,
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: I believe there was a second left? I have a
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: question for Bagel Guy, actually. What do you do all day,
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: Bagel Guy? Snarky text. I'd like to spend a day
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: with Bagel Guy. I know what he does all day.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: That's what you should do, though. Spend a day with Bob.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: You should start to learn these texters' lives, Bone. I
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: bet it might make you appreciate them a little. That
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: could be a bad punishment moving forward. We have to
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: spend a day with a texter?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: By the way, I do want to see a mitt's
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: face when he figures out that he's getting destroyed on
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: the text line.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, it must be a big grin. You know, that's
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: what he wants. He loves it. He wanted to stir
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: it up. Speaking of stirring it up, Jonathan says, guys,
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: where do we stand on the Cooper Dijon unnecessary roughness
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: against Mitchell Evans? The announcers seem convinced he was not
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: doing it on purpose. I don't know what he was doing.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: I thought it was 100%. Yes, it was. I thought
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: it was 100% on purpose. He used to date a
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: WWE wrestler. He knows what he's doing.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: He should have been ejected.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: He had him on his back. So you agree, too.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: They were downplaying it so much on the broadcast. He
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: had him on his back. And Ross Tucker's like, what's
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: he supposed to do? I don't know. Not stand up
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: and flip him. And it did look like he tried
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: to flip dude off his back.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: Intentionally. That wasn't like, oh, my goodness, I'm sorry. I
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: didn't know you were there.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Shout out, by the way, Big Puddin'. That was a
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Samoan drop in wrestling. That's what that's called.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: Big Puddin's dealing blood clots bone. He sent us a
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: nice text. He loves to show. He was in the
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: hospital this weekend. So get well, Puddin'. That's just not
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Big Puddin'. That's Big Puddin' from East Tennessee. Yeah, baby.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: That's a different form of Puddin'. He said he couldn't
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: even watch the Vols game. That's a damn shame, man.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I hope you can watch this one this week.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Let me show you. Bung versus Vols fans is going
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: to be worth the price of admission all week. I'm
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: feeling good about this one. When I feel good, that's
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: usually not good.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: You should put your money where your mouth is. Go
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: to the game.
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: Be in attendance to watch your TV. No, don't do that.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: Don't do that. You might jinx it. I'm actually going
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: to Panthers-Brockos in a few weeks. There you go. There
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: you go. I was actually supposed to go to the
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Tennessee game, but then the season happened. We have a
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: text here that says, I was talking about Mrs. Bop.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: How does she deal with him? The only one that's
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: got it worse than Mrs. Mack is Mrs.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Bop.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Thank you, I think. Very astute point from a texter.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: Panthers now 1-0 in the first place schedule games. The
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: games we play, Bone, against other first place teams from
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: last year, Philly was one of them. And I think
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: the number one point that has to be made is
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: when we freak out about a first place schedule, you
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: have no idea what those first place teams are. are
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: going to be when you play them. Seattle is 3-3.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: How about the Denver Broncos? How do they look right
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: now offensively? So many of these first-place teams on our
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: first-place schedule don't look so scary. Not a first-place team,
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: but the Packers are looking like they're getting hot right now.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: They are. It is a give-and-take there. 704 number says, Guys,
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: do you think Dave Canales also congratulated guys on all
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: the record-setting penalties they had during his speech yesterday? Let
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: me give it up for Rob Hunt, who went downfield
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: too far twice. Give it to him two times. I'm
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: thinking that might not occur. All right, we're out of here, y'all.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: Everybody have themselves a Monday, baby, and celebrate it. Bask
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: in the glory of a dub. We're out of here.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: Colin Hoggard, Charlotte Sports Today, coming up.
