Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from our Uptown studio. Presented by Harrah's Cherokee

Speaker 1: Casino Resort.

Speaker 2: WFNZ's official casino and sportsbook partner.
0:39
Speaker 3: I think the guys have done a really good job
0:44
Speaker 3: of getting more experience in the system and kind of
0:46
Speaker 3: knowing how we want to play things, especially with so
0:49
Speaker 3: many young guys and new guys. But how do we
0:53
Speaker 3: play our calls? How do they fit situationally? The techniques
0:57
Speaker 3: and fundamentals have improved. So there's been a lot of
1:00
Speaker 3: good things. It's really a big credit to the players
1:02
Speaker 3: for just blocking out all the noise and just focusing
1:06
Speaker 3: in on their work and focusing on how we can
1:08
Speaker 3: get better. And regardless of what the result is on Sunday,
1:12
Speaker 3: when we show back up on Monday, it doesn't matter.
1:15
Speaker 3: We've got to press into getting better and who's our
1:17
Speaker 3: next opponent. And they've done a great job of that.
1:21
Speaker 2: That is a Giro Vero defensive coordinator for your Carolina Panthers.
1:25
Speaker 2: Haven't noticed much slander lately. I'm just saying, just saying.
1:30
Speaker 2: And that's him talking about one of the subjects of
1:32
Speaker 2: the week. I know Coach Canales was asked about it, too.
1:34
Speaker 2: The immense improvements in the run defense since a horrendous
1:38
Speaker 2: run defense performance. against the Bears. Don't know if you
1:42
Speaker 2: heard me give any of these kind of stats out,
1:44
Speaker 2: but their run defense is fifth in EPA over the
1:47
Speaker 2: last four weeks.
1:47
Speaker 1: I've heard that somewhere.
1:48
Speaker 2: And their overall run defense is third in the NFL
1:51
Speaker 2: in the last three weeks.
1:52
Speaker 1: Don't know if you've heard any of those stats.
1:54
Speaker 4: I heard that when we threw out the bad test
1:56
Speaker 4: score that was the Bears game.
2:00
Speaker 2: There is a pretty good run game coming in here. Um, in,
2:03
Speaker 2: in that, and I would say that is Ira Kaufman.
2:07
Speaker 2: We had him on bucks reporter last hour. And he said,
2:10
Speaker 2: that is the number one thing in the game plan
2:12
Speaker 2: because Baker might not have Godwin might not have a
2:16
Speaker 2: book in this game. You know, he doesn't have Mike
2:18
Speaker 2: Evans anymore to help him out. And if you can
2:21
Speaker 2: put bony, um, Baker into second, a long third, a
2:25
Speaker 2: long tee off on that dude, you know, that thumb's
2:27
Speaker 2: not perfect. Um, I like our chances, man. I like
2:30
Speaker 2: our chances. Just play run defense like you have the
2:33
Speaker 2: last few weeks, Panthers, and you got this dang ball game.
2:36
Speaker 4: Mac, I was trying to figure out where is the
2:38
Speaker 4: consensus of predictions on this game. It looks like about,
2:43
Speaker 4: double check here, most of the money is coming in
2:46
Speaker 4: on the Panthers to win on the money line. And
2:48
Speaker 4: the vast majority of the money here, I'll double check here,
2:51
Speaker 4: of the betting side is on the Panthers to cover
2:54
Speaker 4: the three or three and a half. But then I
2:56
Speaker 4: ended up on some website called pickdogs.com. I want you
3:00
Speaker 4: to know, Mac, that Jay Yang and Big Al McCourty
3:04
Speaker 4: have both picked, and Shane Mickles. Those three guys have
3:08
Speaker 4: picked the Panthers to win on Sunday. So if Big
3:10
Speaker 4: Al McCourty, Jay Yang, and Shane Mickles pick them, that's
3:14
Speaker 4: a good sign.
3:14
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's up. BigDogsWithAZ.com. All right, baby.
3:19
Speaker 1: There you go. There you go.
3:20
Speaker 4: We got that going for us, which is nice. I
3:22
Speaker 4: trust a guy named Big Al McCourty. I ended up
3:25
Speaker 4: on the dark web over here. Hey, man, we'll take
3:28
Speaker 4: any support we can get. If you are a Panther
3:31
Speaker 4: fan out there listening, how confident do you feel? We're
3:33
Speaker 4: going to give you our predictions on the game. Are
3:35
Speaker 4: we Panthering up?
3:37
Speaker 1: Uh, it's varied.
3:38
Speaker 2: There has been a mixed bone between people that are like,
3:41
Speaker 2: it's the NFL, any given Sunday. Um, the Baker, the,
3:45
Speaker 2: the bucks are desperate, that sort of feeling, uh, Baker Mayfield,
3:49
Speaker 2: this dude, Baker Mayfield hates us, gets himself angry at us.
3:52
Speaker 2: Every time he plays, I'm not taking them lightly. There
3:55
Speaker 2: has also been a decent amount bone of, uh, This
3:59
Speaker 2: Tampa team stinks.
4:02
Speaker 1: We had one earlier.
4:04
Speaker 2: That said, even the Tampa Bay Bucks reporter knows they're garbage.
4:08
Speaker 2: Three and 12 in their last 15 games. If the
4:11
Speaker 2: Panthers don't route this team, I'm going to be disappointed.
4:15
Speaker 2: So it feels like there's a mix in levels of confidence.
4:19
Speaker 2: You and Ira both pointed out, it does seem a
4:22
Speaker 2: little surprising that Panthers are only a three or three
4:24
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite at home. against a team
4:26
Speaker 2: that's 1-5 when the Panthers are sitting here at 3-2.
4:31
Speaker 2: What do you think about confidence? What's the appropriate confidence
4:35
Speaker 2: level for this game, Boney?
4:37
Speaker 4: I think it's about 8 out of 10. I think
4:39
Speaker 4: just talent-wise, roster-wise. Panthers should win this game, home field advantage.
4:46
Speaker 4: They're playing at a high level, and they're physically and mentally,
4:50
Speaker 4: I think, in the right spot here. Jalen Phillips, notwithstanding
4:53
Speaker 4: the physical part of this, among some other things. But
4:56
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay has been mentally wounded, physically beat up. The
4:59
Speaker 4: only reason I'm not saying 10 out of 10, not
5:02
Speaker 4: going to Lock City, not doing all the over-the-top stuff
5:05
Speaker 4: is there is that level of desperation that does play
5:09
Speaker 4: a part in these NFL games. So I can't completely
5:11
Speaker 4: say 10 out of.
5:12
Speaker 1: 10, lock it up, guarantee.
5:14
Speaker 4: If the Bucs, Mac, had beaten Pittsburgh and they were
5:17
Speaker 4: feeling kind of good about themselves off Dallas, off Pittsburgh,
5:20
Speaker 4: I'd say, yeah, the Bucs are feeling themselves. They're ready
5:22
Speaker 4: for a come down. Whenever a team is desperate in
5:25
Speaker 4: this league, You got to be a little careful to
5:27
Speaker 4: overlook them. That's the only drawback I have. It's more
5:30
Speaker 4: about the mindset of Tampa rather than the physical matchup.
5:34
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:34
Speaker 2: Your guy Beach Boy says every decision or every division
5:38
Speaker 2: game can always go either way. Another texter says, have
5:41
Speaker 2: these Panther fans been watching the games against the Bucs recently?
5:44
Speaker 2: Hadn't gone well for us other than last year's home game.
5:47
Speaker 3: Yeah.
5:48
Speaker 2: They've won all six of the last seven other than
5:50
Speaker 2: that one game. Now I would argue bone. They had
5:52
Speaker 2: three blind zebras. help them win the game in Tampa
5:55
Speaker 2: last year. I would argue that I would argue that
5:59
Speaker 2: it was blind zebra aided and deserves an asterisk that win,
6:03
Speaker 2: but it is true though. I just, and I agree
6:06
Speaker 2: with you. I think there's going to be a fight
6:07
Speaker 2: from these guys. I think they're going to feel reinvigorated
6:10
Speaker 2: that they get Baker back. I just think Bryce Young
6:14
Speaker 2: is playing at such a high level. I think his
6:16
Speaker 2: weaponry is the best it's ever been. I think Idzik
6:19
Speaker 2: is in his absolute bag. There's so many ways we
6:22
Speaker 2: can play. Like if they want to go blitz heavy,
6:24
Speaker 2: which they're probably going to do, I feel so good, Bone,
6:27
Speaker 2: about Bryce and his quick release. And you can just
6:30
Speaker 2: go to the quick passing game. If Bryce has time,
6:33
Speaker 2: I think we can hurt him downfield and make plays downfield.
6:36
Speaker 1: I said it earlier.
6:37
Speaker 2: There are only four cornerbacks in the league that have
6:39
Speaker 2: given up more passing yards than Jacob Parrish. He's a
6:41
Speaker 2: guy that can be targeted. McCollum's definitely tougher to deal with.
6:45
Speaker 2: Ask Chase and Lamb about that. And their defense is good.
6:48
Speaker 2: Their run defense is real good. But I think ultimately
6:51
Speaker 2: we can pass the ball and then open up the
6:53
Speaker 2: run and then let Chuba bang his way through. And
6:57
Speaker 2: start to get those hard second half yards when we're
7:00
Speaker 2: wearing them down, man. And I think our run defense
7:03
Speaker 2: is a completely different unit, like I said, since week one.
7:06
Speaker 2: And I think they can keep Bucky in check. And
7:09
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, to me, I don't think like they'll be
7:13
Speaker 2: fired up for him.
7:13
Speaker 1: He'll be fired up.
7:15
Speaker 2: But if he doesn't have Ibuka or Godwin, and like
7:18
Speaker 2: you said, Bone, they haven't even played.
7:19
Speaker 1: Well this year, those two guys.
7:21
Speaker 2: So it's not, I just, I think we're going to
7:24
Speaker 2: have to work for it and fight for it, but
7:27
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about it, man.
7:29
Speaker 5: I do.
7:30
Speaker 4: Any concern that some people have, Mac, about a trap game?
7:34
Speaker 4: The win over Philadelphia, then Green Bay is next, the
7:37
Speaker 4: primetime game on a short week. Is there any thoughts
7:40
Speaker 4: of a track game, or do you think the Panthers
7:42
Speaker 4: still are in that mindset where they can really go
7:45
Speaker 4: into any game overlooking somebody? Also, the Philadelphia game, while
7:49
Speaker 4: that's a big game for the franchise that they played,
7:53
Speaker 4: I don't view that as they were playing the Super
7:56
Speaker 4: Bowl contending Eagles either.
7:58
Speaker 1: It wasn't like.
7:59
Speaker 4: prime eagles down bucks big game against green bay i
8:02
Speaker 4: don't i don't put this in the trap category i
8:05
Speaker 4: um i don't think the panthers are going to fall
8:06
Speaker 4: in a trap right now they're still they're still warning
8:09
Speaker 4: the win here.
8:09
Speaker 2: Should we can you fall into a trap of a
8:11
Speaker 2: team that beat you six of seven times that the
8:13
Speaker 2: only reason you won the division over them is because
8:15
Speaker 2: you got help from your rival no they're like you
8:18
Speaker 2: know what i mean like they beat us on their
8:20
Speaker 2: field and they the panthers walked off there thinking crap
8:22
Speaker 2: we let them win this division again And then we
8:24
Speaker 2: get this goofy luck from the Falcons. I just think
8:28
Speaker 2: this is a game bone about finishing the king off.
8:33
Speaker 2: This is about sweeping the leg. This is about getting
8:37
Speaker 2: the bucks to bend the knee.
8:39
Speaker 1: Preach King.
8:40
Speaker 2: This is about taking, you know, telling them officially you
8:45
Speaker 2: are has-beens in the NFC South.
8:48
Speaker 1: It's our time now. And I think that is what
8:51
Speaker 1: is going to happen. I really do. And I guess
8:54
Speaker 1: I just gave my prediction.
8:55
Speaker 2: I didn't give my score, but I guess I can't.
8:57
Speaker 1: Hold it in.
8:58
Speaker 2: Any longer man you know what i mean this there's
9:01
Speaker 2: some if and if they beat us bone all of
9:04
Speaker 2: a sudden now oh with baker we got our swag
9:07
Speaker 2: back a little bit we got back in this goofy
9:09
Speaker 2: division they would be what two and five so it'd
9:11
Speaker 2: be a game and a half behind us yeah um
9:13
Speaker 2: but they will have the win against it.
9:15
Speaker 4: Like this and baker we bash they would think oh
9:17
Speaker 4: we're we're back on track.
9:18
Speaker 1: Finish them don't let them have life and hope on
9:22
Speaker 1: sunday please panthers Uh, Mac, I have a double edge
9:26
Speaker 1: prediction here.
9:26
Speaker 4: I have a score and what the headline might read
9:30
Speaker 4: after the game on Sunday or on the Monday morning.
9:33
Speaker 4: I think the Panthers win 27 to 16. And I
9:36
Speaker 4: think the headline on Monday is, Bulls movement. Tampa Bay
9:40
Speaker 4: fires Todd Bulls.
9:42
Speaker 1: Flushes. Bulls movement. Tampa Bay flushes head coach. Observer.
9:49
Speaker 4: We're doing this for free, man. We're not doing that.
9:53
Speaker 4: We're not.
9:54
Speaker 1: We're not even charging y'all for that.
9:55
Speaker 4: We're doing our job uh for great money uh we're
9:59
Speaker 4: not we're helping you out for free yeah.
10:01
Speaker 2: Um this texter says when mac talks like that i
10:04
Speaker 2: get worried here i thought it was rolling bro I
10:07
Speaker 2: thought I had. I know HP's coming up, or what's
10:09
Speaker 2: his name?
10:10
Speaker 5: BP?
10:10
Speaker 1: BP from the HP. The guy's on fire. Get his
10:13
Speaker 1: name right. BP from the HP's coming up with the
10:15
Speaker 1: official pep talk. I thought I was doing a good
10:17
Speaker 1: pep talk, and this guy didn't even want to hear it.
10:19
Speaker 1: Do you want to laugh your high parts off? You
10:22
Speaker 1: talking about Amit's texts?
10:23
Speaker 4: So Amit's getting on us about Bryce Young's takes. And
10:26
Speaker 4: Amit doesn't exactly have a good track record. So I
10:29
Speaker 4: have one that's burned in my brain that he tweeted
10:33
Speaker 4: out years ago. And it is true. He tweeted out
10:36
Speaker 4: one time. This is when Sam Halmack was going to
10:39
Speaker 4: Seattle from wherever he was. I can't even keep track
10:41
Speaker 4: of the journey. But Sam Hal went to Seattle. Amit
10:45
Speaker 4: tweeted out, Sam Hal will win multiple Super Bowls. as
10:49
Speaker 4: a starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.
10:51
Speaker 2: Oh, no.
10:52
Speaker 1: Oh, no.
10:53
Speaker 4: So I asked him today, how is that take holding up?
10:56
Speaker 4: This is today's omit take of the day. Not so great,
11:00
Speaker 4: but Sam Howe is the better quarterback than Bryce Young.
11:03
Speaker 4: He will win a Super Bowl before Bryce as a
11:06
Speaker 4: starter when he gets his chance again.
11:08
Speaker 1: And he's slamming our takes?
11:10
Speaker 2: He said us saying that Bryce Young is in the
11:13
Speaker 2: same neighborhood as May and Williams. He said he'll never
11:16
Speaker 2: take a Bryce take from us seriously again. How are
11:18
Speaker 2: we supposed to take any of your takes seriously with
11:20
Speaker 2: that one, Chief?
11:21
Speaker 4: I know Myers-Parks head coach Duke Howell, nice dude, my
11:24
Speaker 4: Facebook friend. We respect and love the Howell family.
11:28
Speaker 1: But admit.
11:29
Speaker 4: You got to let it go, my guy. You got
11:31
Speaker 4: to let that one go, man. Just say I was wrong,
11:34
Speaker 4: like we often do here, and move on. You're a
11:36
Speaker 4: married man, so I know you know how to say
11:38
Speaker 4: I'm wrong, all right? You can't bring yourself to do it, though,
11:41
Speaker 4: with the fellas, apparently.
11:43
Speaker 1: You can't do that.
11:44
Speaker 4: If you would have said Sam Howell will catch on
11:46
Speaker 4: somewhere and win a championship as a backup quarterback, well,
11:48
Speaker 4: that could happen. To think that he's going to win
11:50
Speaker 4: one as a starter. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Oh,
12:15
Speaker 4: he's a Washington fan. A little bit of happiness about it.
12:17
Speaker 1: He's a Washington fan also.
12:18
Speaker 6: Yeah.
12:19
Speaker 1: If you're a Washington fan. He hides in the two-team forum.
12:21
Speaker 1: At least I'm out there in front of him. I
12:22
Speaker 1: feel like, can we kill Panther Amit? Can you, like,
12:25
Speaker 1: maybe just burn your Panther stuff? I'm not saying kill
12:28
Speaker 1: the individual.
12:29
Speaker 6: Donate.
12:29
Speaker 5: You don't have to burn it. Donate it to someone
12:32
Speaker 5: in need, like me.
12:33
Speaker 2: Donate it to Panther Fitty, because I don't think you're
12:36
Speaker 2: really enjoying the Panther fandom thing.
12:37
Speaker 1: It might not be for you.
12:39
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
12:39
Speaker 2: That Washington fandom thing where you try to figure out
12:42
Speaker 2: how much clock, how much time's left on the clock.
12:44
Speaker 5: That might be your bag. I forgot what down it is.
12:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, what down is it? That might be more your bag.
12:49
Speaker 1: All right.
12:50
Speaker 2: Anyway, coming up this hour, we need to point out
12:54
Speaker 2: college football confidence. We're going to talk about the college games.
12:57
Speaker 2: How about Clemson, Virginia Tech? How are those fan bases feeling?
13:00
Speaker 2: Heels fans, how are they feeling? And of course, South Carolina,
13:03
Speaker 2: Tennessee fans, how are they feeling? So that's coming up.
13:06
Speaker 2: Step away from the bandwagon. Put your hands up, Mac.
13:09
Speaker 2: Step away from the bandwagon. I'm sorry.
13:11
Speaker 1: I love the Gamecocks this week, y'all. I know you're
13:13
Speaker 1: going to be miserable.
13:14
Speaker 7: Woo!
13:15
Speaker 1: I apologize, Bone. It's my cock noises. All right. Is
13:20
Speaker 1: it pep talk time, baby? Oh, you darn right it is.
13:22
Speaker 1: All right.
13:23
Speaker 2: Apparently not everybody appreciated my impromptu speech, Boney, but I
13:27
Speaker 2: hope you do appreciate our next guest because Coach Bone
13:31
Speaker 2: made a lineup change. I wanted to keep Weatherman Mark
13:34
Speaker 2: in there. I wanted to give Weatherman Mark a mulligan.
13:37
Speaker 2: Coach Bone says we got to get somebody in there
13:40
Speaker 2: that's going to get this team winning, and we found... BP.
13:45
Speaker 2: I struggle with the order of the initials. BP from
13:48
Speaker 2: the HB. And this man has the Panthers at 2-0.
13:52
Speaker 2: He is here to give us our Bucks Week pep talk.
13:55
Speaker 2: He's got his own entrance music now, apparently, as well
13:58
Speaker 2: that he has requested from DJ Fitty. So here he is, everybody.
14:03
Speaker 2: He is BP from the HB. BP, welcome back, baby.
14:21
Speaker 2: There's your music, baby.
14:24
Speaker 1: There's more people in Queen City.
14:28
Speaker 7: It's me. Boys, Mac, how can you not get the
14:31
Speaker 7: BP from HB correct?
14:33
Speaker 8: Come on, man.
14:34
Speaker 1: You deserve more respect. Come on.
14:37
Speaker 7: We're going to get 3-0. Come on now.
14:40
Speaker 8: We got to start this.
14:40
Speaker 7: With some good and bad, though.
14:42
Speaker 1: The bad.
14:43
Speaker 7: Who questions that this is an adult show? Did you
14:45
Speaker 7: hear the Bootsies' comments earlier? The Zaddies are.
14:48
Speaker 8: Here, baby.
14:52
Speaker 7: Also, also, Willie P., the best post-game show host.
14:57
Speaker 8: In the land, you all bodied that man. Come on, Willie.
15:00
Speaker 7: You don't deserve it. But come on, let's turn this
15:03
Speaker 7: around back to football.
15:05
Speaker 1: Some good.
15:07
Speaker 7: The Bucs are 3-12 in the last 15 games. Buka, Godwin,
15:13
Speaker 7: banged up. We're playing at the bank. But the biggest risk, okay,
15:18
Speaker 7: you got Baker if he's playing. He's 6-1 against the Panthers.
15:21
Speaker 8: You know he hates us.
15:23
Speaker 7: The guy couldn't throw a ball over the line at scrimmage.
15:25
Speaker 7: Maybe he'll do it in Tampa here at the bank.
15:28
Speaker 7: It'll be like he was on our team. So let's
15:32
Speaker 7: win the turnover battle. You cannot settle for field goals.
15:35
Speaker 8: In the red zone.
15:36
Speaker 1: We've got to get the ball in the end zone, boys.
15:38
Speaker 7: Allowing Tampa to hang around in the fourth quarter, that's
15:41
Speaker 7: going to be an issue. So what are the keys
15:44
Speaker 7: to victory? Make them one-dimensional, baby.
15:46
Speaker 9: They're obviously struggling for consistency all season.
15:50
Speaker 7: Pass protection's bad. Sustaining drives. If you contain Bucky, you're
15:56
Speaker 7: going to be all right. Put it on the other
15:58
Speaker 7: short guy, the white guy.
15:59
Speaker 8: Tell him, BG.
16:01
Speaker 7: Yeah. Hey, try to get a ball on the line
16:04
Speaker 7: of scrimmage, Baker. Not with Lloyd and El-Kelke coming down
16:07
Speaker 7: your throat.
16:09
Speaker 1: Go after his stomps. The twisted stomps. Don't hurt him
16:12
Speaker 1: too bad.
16:12
Speaker 7: That's not nice.
16:16
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey.
16:16
Speaker 7: 1,549 passing yards. 11 TDs through five games. Bama MVP Bryce, baby.
16:23
Speaker 7: Get Tech going early. Coker also. One of those two
16:27
Speaker 7: guys running across the middle like they were against Philly.
16:30
Speaker 7: win the first down, you know, have Chuba running the ball.
16:32
Speaker 9: He was 426 yards, four touchdowns this season on pace
16:37
Speaker 9: for his best season ever pressure Baker, or, you know,
16:41
Speaker 9: if that other.
16:41
Speaker 1: Guy's there, do not.
16:43
Speaker 7: You've got to contain and just do what you got
16:46
Speaker 7: to do. My prediction, if we protect the ball, stay
16:50
Speaker 7: aggressive on offense. It's going to be the good guys.
16:53
Speaker 1: 27-20.
16:54
Speaker 8: Panthers.
16:55
Speaker 7: Let's go.
16:57
Speaker 4: Keep pumping, man.
16:58
Speaker 1: There you go, baby. There you go. As always, thank you, BP.
17:03
Speaker 4: He's becoming a polarizing figure, Mac, on the text line
17:06
Speaker 4: right now.
17:06
Speaker 1: Yes, I figured.
17:07
Speaker 4: Some people think he's getting too overconfident. Guess who was questioning, Mac,
17:11
Speaker 4: something about that appearance?
17:13
Speaker 1: Who's that? Sirloin the Beef sent me a text. Oh,
17:15
Speaker 1: Sirloin Jelly? Do you know what he said? What's that? Oh,
17:17
Speaker 1: I see. This guy gets his own entrance music. I
17:20
Speaker 1: know we never, we never hyped loin up with interest.
17:22
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel the field a little bit now.
17:24
Speaker 2: We'll go back to you. Loin BP's hot right now,
17:28
Speaker 2: but you could just stay ready.
17:29
Speaker 1: Like, what do you tell? Like Dave Canales told Bryce
17:31
Speaker 1: when he benched him, just stay ready, kid. Stay ready.
17:34
Speaker 6: Loin.
17:34
Speaker 1: Stay ready. Weatherman. Stay ready.
17:37
Speaker 2: Although I think coach bone never wants you back again,
17:39
Speaker 2: but I still tell you.
17:40
Speaker 1: To stay ready.
17:42
Speaker 2: Keep working hard, Weatherman Mark. Did you see what Weatherman
17:45
Speaker 2: Mark was saying on the text line today?
17:47
Speaker 1: I did not.
17:47
Speaker 2: Very upset that we were called homers by Sizzle. Says
17:51
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with loving your team and being a homer.
17:53
Speaker 2: He said being a homer is wrong. He don't want
17:55
Speaker 2: to be right, Boney. He don't want to be right.
17:58
Speaker 2: I appreciate the backup, Marky. When we come back, college
18:01
Speaker 2: football confidence. Who is feeling good this weekend? Is it
18:04
Speaker 2: South Carolina fans? North Carolina fans? Who thinks they're winning
18:08
Speaker 2: the Clemson-Virginia Tech game? By the way, Mac, your pick
18:12
Speaker 2: contest with Picante, 945. Oh, I'm so ready.
18:16
Speaker 1: I'm so ready to just finish this dude's segment off
18:18
Speaker 1: once and for all. He's a little skier to the Mac, man.
18:20
Speaker 1: I bet. I bet he is. He's trying to figure
18:22
Speaker 1: out his picks. All that and more. Sports Radio 92.7.
18:43
Speaker 6: This is full on red alert. This is South Carolina's wheelhouse.
18:47
Speaker 6: Tennessee doesn't create a lot of big plays. You know
18:50
Speaker 6: what South Carolina's defense does a pretty good job of?
18:53
Speaker 1: Stopping the run.
18:53
Speaker 6: You know what South Carolina does a really good job of?
18:56
Speaker 6: Running the football. Staying out of obvious third and down.
18:59
Speaker 6: Have you seen this Fuller guy for South Carolina? Like,
19:01
Speaker 6: I really like this dude. Between him and Sellers, man,
19:03
Speaker 6: the amount of tackles that they break, next level, and
19:06
Speaker 6: then it's a first down, and it's a big play,
19:08
Speaker 6: over and over and over again.
19:09
Speaker 1: Like, it happens very consistently. Brent, where's this game being
19:13
Speaker 1: played at? Columbia, South Carolina.
19:14
Speaker 6: William Bryce Stadium, Space Odyssey. The rooster will be crowing
19:18
Speaker 6: every time, and very annoyingly. This feels like a trench war.
19:22
Speaker 6: I told you before the season, South Carolina was going
19:24
Speaker 6: to get somebody.
19:25
Speaker 1: They're going to get somebody.
19:26
Speaker 6: This is going to be a great game, but I
19:28
Speaker 6: think it's the run game of South Carolina. It's the
19:31
Speaker 6: breaking tackles, making extra plays. South Carolina wins by seven.
19:36
Speaker 1: There we go, Bo. There we go.
19:38
Speaker 2: David Pollock on a Seaball Get Ball podcast, making a
19:42
Speaker 2: very compelling case. And I am interested to hear from
19:45
Speaker 2: Gamecock fans. Um, we had a lot of fan bases,
19:47
Speaker 2: but with interesting games this week to talk about, plus
19:50
Speaker 2: app state fans can just text in and just celebrate
19:52
Speaker 2: the huge upset statement win last night. But I'm very
19:56
Speaker 2: interested because Tennessee fans early in the week were very,
19:59
Speaker 2: first of all, they were in disbelief over when you
20:02
Speaker 2: said the Gamecocks are favored.
20:03
Speaker 6: Yeah.
20:04
Speaker 1: Like they seem where they were in disbelief.
20:05
Speaker 2: We Then, Bone, it seemed like you annoyed them earlier
20:11
Speaker 2: in the week when you started saying, we're going to
20:14
Speaker 2: get you. I know you're feeling you're riding high. You
20:16
Speaker 2: just beat Bama. David Pollak just.
20:19
Speaker 1: Laid it out, Bone.
20:20
Speaker 2: The teams that give the South Carolina defense fits are
20:25
Speaker 2: the ones that can throw the deep ball. Tennessee, this
20:27
Speaker 2: isn't one of those hypo teams, really. This is a
20:30
Speaker 2: team whose quarterback play is shaky, but they're great up front.
20:33
Speaker 2: They run the football. Well, the Gamecocks are good against
20:37
Speaker 2: the run, like Pollock said. And then on the flip side,
20:39
Speaker 2: the Gamecocks running game is top 20 in the country.
20:42
Speaker 4: They're number nine in the country right now in running.
20:45
Speaker 4: They're top 10 in the country. There are 231 yards
20:48
Speaker 4: per game. And, Mac, you look at who's ahead of them.
20:52
Speaker 4: When you go SEC and Big Ten schools, ACC, they
20:56
Speaker 4: are the only one of that group. There's Big 12
20:59
Speaker 4: teams in there, but there's no SEC. There's no ACC.
21:03
Speaker 4: There's no Big 10 ahead of them in the rushing category.
21:06
Speaker 1: It's Army.
21:07
Speaker 4: It's Air Force. It's other schools like that. So their
21:09
Speaker 4: running game, one of the most elite of the power conferences.
21:12
Speaker 5: It's huge.
21:13
Speaker 1: And listen, Tennessee's run defense is great. They're in the
21:15
Speaker 1: 40s for run defense. This is nasty.
21:17
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a slobber knocker. But I just–
21:21
Speaker 2: if you look at– first of all, I think it's
21:23
Speaker 2: such a– if Sellers plays the way he has lately–
21:25
Speaker 2: They have such a quarterback advantage over McIntyre or if
21:29
Speaker 2: Brandon gets in there. I think Sellers could make a
21:31
Speaker 2: couple of plays that could be the difference.
21:33
Speaker 1: In this game.
21:34
Speaker 2: If the SEC plays bone the way it's played all year,
21:38
Speaker 2: the team that just had the big win, is going
21:40
Speaker 2: to get, is going to lose, I can't even say upset,
21:43
Speaker 2: because South Carolina's favorites.
21:45
Speaker 4: And obviously so much of Tennessee resides on Bishop at
21:48
Speaker 4: running back, right? Well, yes, top 10 rushing offense for
21:53
Speaker 4: the Gamecocks, but they also find themselves back 24th in
21:56
Speaker 4: rush yards allowed per game. They're at 103 yards per.
22:00
Speaker 1: Game, so.
22:01
Speaker 4: The trenches, they've been good. And now you pair that
22:04
Speaker 4: with a confident Sellers. They know they can run the ball.
22:08
Speaker 4: They know they can stop the run. Well, if Sellers
22:11
Speaker 4: has that confidence rebuilt as the quarterback, that's why I
22:14
Speaker 4: think Gamecock fans are thinking, all right, it's all starting
22:16
Speaker 4: to come together a little bit. It just took a
22:18
Speaker 4: little bit longer in the season to get there. And
22:20
Speaker 4: the one thing I pride myself on is... Well, I
22:22
Speaker 4: gave up for a while, but I came back and that's,
22:25
Speaker 4: it's called the revival, right?
22:27
Speaker 1: I was down. I came back. I revived myself. Oh man.
22:30
Speaker 1: I was on a life or for a while, but
22:32
Speaker 1: I'm back now. That's all that matters. Gamecock bone is alive.
22:35
Speaker 2: Those reports of his demise were premature y'all.
22:38
Speaker 1: I had to motivate.
22:40
Speaker 2: So we want to hear from you guys, college football fans.
22:42
Speaker 2: This is our college football confidence segment. If you listen
22:45
Speaker 2: to these cases for the Gamecocks, you're a Gamecocks fan.
22:48
Speaker 2: Are you feeling it? If you're a Tennessee fan, does
22:50
Speaker 2: this bother you? We also got to talk Clemson, Virginia Tech.
22:54
Speaker 2: We got to talk Tar Heels, Syracuse.
22:56
Speaker 1: Any game.
22:56
Speaker 2: I mean, any team you want to pump up, jump
22:59
Speaker 2: in here and tell us how you're feeling about the weekend.
23:02
Speaker 2: We'll try to give you a little shout out. Big
23:05
Speaker 2: Cat Dan is talking. He's obviously Clemson guy bone. He says,
23:09
Speaker 2: hopefully Tate Reynolds takes another step forward this week and
23:13
Speaker 2: that Chad Morris limits the number of screens to zero.
23:16
Speaker 1: Probably not, though.
23:18
Speaker 2: We win another close ugly one because of Ashton Hampton,
23:23
Speaker 2: Elliot Washington, and the defense.
23:26
Speaker 1: How do you feel? Do you have a strong feeling, Bone,
23:29
Speaker 1: about Hokie fans or Tiger fans and one being confident?
23:33
Speaker 1: Over the other, or do you see this pretty even?
23:36
Speaker 1: Hard to call. No.
23:37
Speaker 4: I was talking to Flounder about it yesterday, because I
23:40
Speaker 4: was asking him some thoughts on some games this weekend,
23:42
Speaker 4: and I agreed that's an unpredictable one.
23:46
Speaker 1: Maybe low scoring, I guess. I don't know.
23:48
Speaker 4: That feels like, I'm talking about from the betting angle
23:51
Speaker 4: of it, I have absolutely no idea what to expect.
23:54
Speaker 4: Maybe I go Clemson at home, I guess. So I'll
23:58
Speaker 4: pick Clemson to win, but that's an unpredictable... That's going
24:02
Speaker 4: to be, I think, a physical kind of low-scoring slugfest.
24:06
Speaker 1: Game, I think.
24:08
Speaker 4: That's what I'm seeing here. You know, 2017 Clemson, something
24:13
Speaker 4: in that neighborhood, I guess. I could see it. I
24:16
Speaker 4: don't really have a great feel for the winner of
24:18
Speaker 4: that game.
24:19
Speaker 1: I like the Hokies in this game. You like the Hokies?
24:21
Speaker 1: I hate to do this, Clemson fans. I hate to
24:24
Speaker 1: do this. I like to be. I like Clemson Mac.
24:27
Speaker 1: A little Clemson Max. A little Clemson.
24:29
Speaker 2: Clemson Max shut up here for a while here. I
24:33
Speaker 2: like that Virginia Tech defensive front a lot. I think
24:37
Speaker 2: you look at Clemson's offensive line, the way it's struggle bone,
24:40
Speaker 2: the way they've struggled at times to run the ball,
24:42
Speaker 2: and it has gotten better, no doubt. I just feel
24:45
Speaker 2: like that defensive front, they're top 10 in the country
24:47
Speaker 2: in TFLs and sacks.
24:49
Speaker 1: I feel like they could wreak some havoc. I really do.
24:52
Speaker 2: And the quarterback advantage goes to Virginia Tech. Now, the
24:55
Speaker 2: home field advantage, obviously, goes to Clemson. But I trust
24:59
Speaker 2: Grunkenmeier more than I do Tate Reynolds. Even though Tate
25:01
Speaker 2: was pretty good against Miami, I thought Tate was horrible
25:04
Speaker 2: last week against Charleston Southern, honestly. And the thing is,
25:09
Speaker 2: if Reynolds could get the ball downfield, Virginia Tech's secondary
25:12
Speaker 2: can be torn to shreds if you give the quarterback time.
25:15
Speaker 2: I just don't think– like, I do think it's going
25:17
Speaker 2: to be 100 screen passes, trying to get the ball
25:19
Speaker 2: to Wesco and more on screen. If Reynolds can hit
25:21
Speaker 2: passes downfield and the line can hold up, they got
25:23
Speaker 2: a shot. I just don't know if those two things
25:25
Speaker 2: are going to happen.
25:26
Speaker 4: People are calling you Hokie Mac now. Well, it's just Hokies.
25:30
Speaker 4: Trying to step on Bailey's territory. Me and James Franklin
25:32
Speaker 4: back together again. KB, I'm on board, baby.
25:35
Speaker 1: You excited?
25:36
Speaker 4: You're going with one of my teams this weekend. You're
25:38
Speaker 4: picking Bailey's team. You're probably going to pick Finney's team.
25:41
Speaker 1: I am, Finney. I'm picking your team. We're all buddies
25:44
Speaker 1: this weekend. What about your own team? They're off.
25:46
Speaker 2: Penn State's off. And can I say thank God? Seriously.
25:49
Speaker 2: Can we take off the rest of the season?
25:51
Speaker 5: They'll still probably find a way to lose.
25:53
Speaker 1: That team sucks. All right, Finney. Be nice, man. I'm
25:56
Speaker 1: just getting ready to pump up your team too, baby.
25:58
Speaker 5: I don't want you to do that, Mac. Just go
26:00
Speaker 5: to break.
26:01
Speaker 1: Have a break early.
26:02
Speaker 2: But if we're not doing that, see this, this Tar
26:04
Speaker 2: Heel fan says, um, uh, Tar Heels, uh, Tar Heels roll, baby.
26:09
Speaker 2: They're double digit favorites for a reason. This Syracuse team stinks.
26:13
Speaker 2: How on earth, Fitty, can I come on here? And
26:16
Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily saying y'all going to blow them out,
26:19
Speaker 2: but Syracuse is rough, man. Now they're back to Angelia quarterback.
26:23
Speaker 2: And jelly's played against two power force or two FBS
26:27
Speaker 2: schools before he got benched pit and cow had one
26:31
Speaker 2: touchdown and five picks in those two games. Like I just,
26:36
Speaker 2: they're rough Fetty and you guys are getting such good,
26:39
Speaker 2: like there's such a good vibe around the team right now.
26:44
Speaker 2: Like why would anybody pick anybody other than the heels?
26:47
Speaker 5: Well, Mac, have you watched North Carolina football?
26:50
Speaker 1: I've watched them the last two weeks.
26:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
26:53
Speaker 1: I've seen you beat better teams than this.
26:55
Speaker 5: I brought up this point.
26:56
Speaker 1: Are you picking Syracuse?
26:57
Speaker 5: No, I think Carolina wins.
27:00
Speaker 10: I brought this point up on the Heel Tough Blog podcast,
27:02
Speaker 10: anywhere you get your podcasts.
27:04
Speaker 5: Did we hire Bill Belichick to beat Syracuse? No, we
27:07
Speaker 5: did not.
27:08
Speaker 10: We hired Bill Belichick to get us over these types
27:10
Speaker 10: of bumps in the road that have hindered this program historically. Like, Mac,
27:14
Speaker 10: this was a game under Mac Brown that they lost
27:17
Speaker 10: pretty frequently. One of the big reasons why they moved
27:20
Speaker 10: on from Mac and went all in on Belichick. First
27:24
Speaker 10: night game of the year, a chance to get 5-2,
27:26
Speaker 10: a massive game next week at home against the number
27:29
Speaker 10: one team in the country in Miami. You win this game,
27:33
Speaker 10: there's going to be a lot of belief that maybe
27:34
Speaker 10: you can't compete with that team.
27:36
Speaker 5: And so, look, they have to play their brand of football.
27:38
Speaker 5: It's not pretty. It's not sexy. It's pretty boring and mundane.
27:42
Speaker 1: And that's why I say I don't think they completely
27:44
Speaker 1: house them. No, I picked them to win. They're not
27:46
Speaker 1: that sort of team.
27:47
Speaker 10: I picked them to win 30-17. I think we do
27:48
Speaker 10: have our best offensive performance of the season in terms
27:51
Speaker 10: of points. And our defense is going to bend, don't break.
27:54
Speaker 10: They're not going to win this game like 28-3. Yeah,
27:57
Speaker 10: that's what I'm saying. I want them to put together
27:59
Speaker 10: a complete game.
28:00
Speaker 5: We played six games. We haven't played 60 minutes.
28:02
Speaker 1: Went by two touchdowns.
28:04
Speaker 10: It's okay to expect them to play their best game
28:06
Speaker 10: of the season so far.
28:07
Speaker 4: People are asking about, we haven't talked about Duke Virginia tonight.
28:10
Speaker 4: Interesting matchup here. That and State's playing tonight. That's a
28:12
Speaker 4: good point.
28:13
Speaker 1: I forgot about the Friday game.
28:14
Speaker 5: You're staying up late for that one, Mac?
28:15
Speaker 1: Duke's third that's a morning game for me that's a
28:17
Speaker 1: morning duke's.
28:18
Speaker 4: Third matchup with virginia in 342 days which is kind
28:22
Speaker 4: of crazy in this day and age i think duke
28:24
Speaker 4: wins tonight i've not been overly impressed with virginia here's
28:28
Speaker 4: a big reason why i think we're due for i
28:31
Speaker 4: know that he had his yards uh total yards the
28:34
Speaker 4: last couple games i think nate shepherd is kind of
28:37
Speaker 4: due to go wild here virginia's 12th in the acc
28:40
Speaker 4: and rush defense i think tonight's going to be a
28:43
Speaker 4: one of these major games for nate shepherd tonight.
28:45
Speaker 2: That's what I'm feeling tonight. Isn't it crazy what's happened
28:47
Speaker 2: to Virginia? They looked like the toughest team in the
28:50
Speaker 2: trenches on both sides of the ball against State in
28:52
Speaker 2: the opener. And look at them now. Bad run defense.
28:55
Speaker 2: Not being able to run the ball the way we
28:57
Speaker 2: thought they would. Yeah, I would probably pick Duke. I'm
29:02
Speaker 2: picking everybody's teams. I'm not trying to do.
29:04
Speaker 1: This, I swear.
29:05
Speaker 2: I would lean Duke, but I honestly— All right, what
29:07
Speaker 2: a great day. I could see that game go either way.
29:10
Speaker 2: Both quarterbacks are iffy when it comes to passing, so
29:13
Speaker 2: it probably does come down to who runs the ball.
29:15
Speaker 1: Shepard's off the injury list, though, completely, Bone. So that's
29:18
Speaker 1: good news.
29:18
Speaker 4: I think he's due for one of these 150 and
29:21
Speaker 4: rush yards type— he's due for a monster performance he
29:25
Speaker 4: was he was all right last week but that's nowhere
29:27
Speaker 4: near his best.
29:27
Speaker 2: What's up with multiple state fans saying they think they're
29:30
Speaker 2: gonna lose tonight because they're being state fans that's true
29:33
Speaker 2: that's true you're not supposed to do anything but well,
29:35
Speaker 2: first of all, I'm going to pick another local team bone.
29:38
Speaker 2: I'm going to pick I'm going to pick a state
29:40
Speaker 2: to win. I am a little nervous about like now.
29:45
Speaker 2: I thought I thought the late night West Coast game
29:48
Speaker 2: bone would give wake problems. But wake's definitely way better
29:51
Speaker 2: than state. We saw that on the field, but it didn't.
29:54
Speaker 2: I could see this being a game they've got to
29:55
Speaker 2: fight for, a game that's close. They're not really favored
29:58
Speaker 2: by a lot with how bad Stanford is. I do
29:59
Speaker 2: want to say that Stanford's horrible.
30:01
Speaker 6: Awful.
30:02
Speaker 2: Stanford's a horrible football team. Now, they don't have Duke Scott.
30:05
Speaker 2: Multiple starting linemen still out. Sol's the center, and others
30:08
Speaker 2: are still out. But I would have to think, Bone...
30:11
Speaker 2: that CJ Bailey, Davion Goss running the ball. I love
30:19
Speaker 2: the way the tight ends are now stepping up for
30:21
Speaker 2: State to go with Keenan Jackson and those wide receivers.
30:25
Speaker 2: I just, they can't lose this game. I mean, I
30:28
Speaker 2: guess I shouldn't phrase it like that.
30:29
Speaker 1: They are NC State. How about this?
30:30
Speaker 2: But come on, y'all. They got too much talent not
30:33
Speaker 2: to get this dub.
30:34
Speaker 4: It's a six and a half point spread. And only 53%
30:37
Speaker 4: of the money is coming in on state to cover
30:40
Speaker 4: the spread in this game. Man, there ain't no state
30:42
Speaker 4: faith out there. Now, money line is 70 to 30.
30:45
Speaker 4: But I thought it was a low spread. But who knows? Well,
30:49
Speaker 4: I've been red hot lately. But I don't know about–
30:52
Speaker 4: I would think that state can cover my touchdown.
30:56
Speaker 1: I would think. Stanford is. Just win the dang game.
31:00
Speaker 1: They are bad, bad. They're ACC bad, and that's saying something.
31:04
Speaker 1: They're bad, bad, bad. They're horrendous. Just win the dang game, though, State.
31:08
Speaker 2: I'm not even on here asking for blowouts or style
31:10
Speaker 2: points or anything. Just don't mess around and do Wolfpack
31:14
Speaker 2: bleep tonight.
31:16
Speaker 1: Please do not.
31:17
Speaker 4: Before we go to break, can I just say, poor Finney,
31:18
Speaker 4: by the way, UNC Syracuse, what was your UNC, obviously, right?
31:22
Speaker 1: I got the heels. I got the heels. Poor Fitties, not.
31:25
Speaker 4: Even really heavily involved in this segment here. Not with
31:28
Speaker 4: Virginia Duke. Wahoo Wah says, Virginia's injury report looks like Fitties'
31:33
Speaker 4: grocery list.
31:34
Speaker 2: Oh, man.
31:36
Speaker 1: You're just standing by. You're not doing anything. What was
31:38
Speaker 1: that about? Strays. Damn strays. Strays for days. What do
31:43
Speaker 1: you think? AT Rex cooking bacon. What the heck is that?
31:47
Speaker 6: Oh, no.
31:48
Speaker 2: AT Rex cooking bacon on the text line says War
31:52
Speaker 2: Damn Eagle. What do you think about that one at noon?
31:57
Speaker 2: Auburn at home on the Plains, fans all fired up,
32:00
Speaker 2: or is this the, they won a big one last week,
32:05
Speaker 2: LSU going to stick it to them tomorrow?
32:06
Speaker 1: But it's interesting because Auburn... I kind of think LSU stick...
32:09
Speaker 1: But is this part of the theme?
32:10
Speaker 4: Because Auburn won a big game on the road, but
32:12
Speaker 4: they're going home now. A lot of times the team
32:14
Speaker 4: will win at home and go on the road and
32:16
Speaker 4: something will happen. This one is Auburn's at home, right?
32:19
Speaker 6: So.
32:21
Speaker 10: LSU has lost their last six road games.
32:23
Speaker 4: Interesting nugget. Interesting nugget. That was a little not so fast,
32:27
Speaker 4: my friend there from Arswami. I think Auburn wins the game.
32:31
Speaker 4: You think they win two in a row like this?
32:33
Speaker 4: Two ranked wins in a row?
32:35
Speaker 10: I think the bigger question is what happens in Austin
32:37
Speaker 10: tomorrow night? Does edgy Arch Manning and the Longhorns, do.
32:41
Speaker 5: They bounce back?
32:43
Speaker 1: Ole Miss bucks the trend.
32:44
Speaker 5: Or does Ole Miss walk in?
32:45
Speaker 2: The trend would say, Fitty, sorry, but I talk over everybody.
32:48
Speaker 2: It's what you do. The trend would say Texas wins.
32:55
Speaker 2: They're coming off a tough loss. Ole Miss is coming
32:57
Speaker 2: off two really big wins. I think Ole Miss is
32:59
Speaker 2: the second-best team behind Georgia in SEC, and I think
33:01
Speaker 2: they're about ready to prove it.
33:03
Speaker 1: If Texas gets.
33:04
Speaker 5: To three losses before we get to Halloween?
33:06
Speaker 8: Man.
33:08
Speaker 10: Fine Bob's going to cook Sarkisian like it really cooks
33:12
Speaker 10: a brisket.
33:12
Speaker 1: Starting to be some Will Stein shadow in Texas.
33:15
Speaker 4: That seems to be the name that I've seen some
33:18
Speaker 4: Will Stein to Texas. And Wake might want to look
33:22
Speaker 4: out for Dicker and Merwin as a name.
33:25
Speaker 1: And Diaz. Those two names are going to be all
33:27
Speaker 1: these openings.
33:27
Speaker 2: Although, who was stumping for the Merlin job down at
33:30
Speaker 2: Loxley's Firebone? Biff Pogey to the Baltimore side. Biff Pogey's
33:34
Speaker 2: got those Baltimore ties.
33:35
Speaker 1: I bet he knows a lot of the high school folks.
33:38
Speaker 1: He'd probably recruit Baltimore. Yeah.
33:39
Speaker 2: Head coach or just on the staff? I'm talking about
33:43
Speaker 2: if he got the Maryland job. First of all, I'm
33:45
Speaker 2: going to let you in on a little secret. It
33:48
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who gets the Maryland job. They will be failures.
33:52
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I've seen it my entire freaking life, man.
33:56
Speaker 4: We come back to wrap up, get you set for
33:58
Speaker 4: the big weekend in sports and Picante versus Mack in
34:02
Speaker 4: a picks challenge. Picante's picking career is on the line.
34:05
Speaker 4: The loser leads town, or Picante does. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
34:33
Speaker 1: It's nine o'clock on a Saturday. Oh, damn.
34:36
Speaker 2: Colin just brought a bone in. I don't know why
34:39
Speaker 2: Fitty didn't get one. Probably because Fitty's bald head is
34:42
Speaker 2: glistening and looks so amazing today, so Colin didn't want
34:45
Speaker 2: to cover it up. But Colin has brought us a
34:47
Speaker 2: couple of Panther hats. I don't even know why we're
34:49
Speaker 2: so lucky to have these. This baby is fitting. It
34:53
Speaker 2: feels so good on my head.
34:54
Speaker 1: That is a Mack hat right there. Does it look good?
34:57
Speaker 2: What a fit, as the kids say. Oh, I feel
34:59
Speaker 2: good about this one. I love a Panther hat, man.
35:01
Speaker 1: Seriously. You are all smiles, man. I'm excited. Colin Claus, baby.
35:05
Speaker 1: Colin Claus. Hoggy Claus came through for us. I love it.
35:09
Speaker 2: And now, you know what's going to make me happy
35:10
Speaker 2: this weekend?
35:11
Speaker 1: Actually, you know what?
35:12
Speaker 2: I don't take any joy in this. I don't take
35:14
Speaker 2: any joy in this. Picante is such a great dude,
35:17
Speaker 2: such a lovable dude, but he has started struggling on
35:21
Speaker 2: his picks. And instead of completely outright ending his segment
35:24
Speaker 2: and benching him, and some have suggested that on the
35:26
Speaker 2: text line, I will point that out. He suggested it.
35:29
Speaker 2: He suggested it. I have said, let's give you the
35:32
Speaker 2: ultimate picks test here.
35:33
Speaker 1: And it's simple. If you can beat me, three picks
35:36
Speaker 1: for you, three picks for me.
35:37
Speaker 2: If you can beat me, and who shouldn't be able
35:39
Speaker 2: to beat me in a picks challenge, Bo, in my
35:41
Speaker 2: track record, you get to keep the segment.
35:43
Speaker 1: That should be easy enough.
35:44
Speaker 2: But if you suffer the ultimate embarrassment and lose to
35:48
Speaker 2: me in a picks challenge, Picante, you will be shamed completely.
35:51
Speaker 2: for a long time in your segment will be history.
35:53
Speaker 2: So there's a lot on the line here, Bone.
35:56
Speaker 4: Loser leaves town. Where am I going? We'll set for Matt.
35:59
Speaker 4: Matt stays in town, but he'll be a loser in town.
36:01
Speaker 4: I thought I didn't read the fine print. I thought
36:02
Speaker 4: my job was on the line, too, for a second.
36:05
Speaker 4: All right, so here he is. He is Picante. Picante,
36:08
Speaker 4: are you ready to.
36:08
Speaker 1: Do this, baby?
36:10
Speaker 8: Hey, Mac Daddy versus Picante Papi. Oh, yeah, I'm ready, baby.
36:16
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for you, Picante. We can't lose your segment.
36:18
Speaker 1: You're my guy, man. I know. Mac's here, but you're
36:21
Speaker 1: my guy.
36:21
Speaker 2: And who cares if I suck at picks, you know?
36:24
Speaker 1: Who cares?
36:25
Speaker 8: I mean, I was telling Freddie that I wanted to
36:28
Speaker 8: bestow his nickname, Sad Daddy. It's freaking cool.
36:33
Speaker 1: Sad Pappy. Poppy.
36:36
Speaker 8: Well, Sad Poppy, yeah.
36:38
Speaker 1: Okay. All right. We'll go. You do one. I do one.
36:42
Speaker 1: Here's how we're going to do it. You give me
36:43
Speaker 1: your first pick. What's your pick? All right.
36:46
Speaker 8: My first pick, I thought that I was not going
36:48
Speaker 8: to play this team anymore, but I'll go for NC
36:51
Speaker 8: State minus six and a half. They schedule really easy
36:56
Speaker 8: after this. So I think that they can do four balls.
36:59
Speaker 8: So I think it should be an easy one. Man.
37:03
Speaker 1: Your segment is on the line, Picante.
37:05
Speaker 2: Your life as a radio prognosticator is on the line,
37:08
Speaker 2: and you roll them with the Pac-Man.
37:10
Speaker 1: That's dangerous. That is dangerous. How many are we doing?
37:14
Speaker 1: We're doing three? Yeah, three each. We're doing three each.
37:17
Speaker 1: All right.
37:18
Speaker 2: I am going to go with... The Miami Hurricanes at
37:22
Speaker 2: home tomorrow, minus 19 and a half against Pittsburgh. They
37:27
Speaker 2: are so fired up as a program, the number one
37:30
Speaker 2: ranking for the first time in 24 years. But I
37:33
Speaker 2: bet they're a little ticked off that Florida State played
37:36
Speaker 2: them so close last week. Pittsburgh is doing their usual
37:38
Speaker 2: thing now that Hunchel's out, where they fall apart as
37:41
Speaker 2: the season goes on. Miami routes them by 20 plus.
37:44
Speaker 2: I take Miami minus 19 and a half for contact.
37:49
Speaker 8: I love your pick, but I feel confident that my
37:51
Speaker 8: pick is easier than your pick. Because my pick, they're
37:54
Speaker 8: picking for a ball, man. I mean, they're looking like
37:56
Speaker 8: 8-4 at the end of the season.
37:58
Speaker 1: I got you. I got you. All right, what's your
38:00
Speaker 1: second pick? What's your second pick?
38:02
Speaker 8: My second pick will be Oklahoma State, minus 13.5. Drew
38:05
Speaker 8: East is going 400 in this game. So they top
38:11
Speaker 8: 20 offense, 37 points per game with a deflated Colorado.
38:16
Speaker 8: So I'm going 13 and a half on Oklahoma State.
38:19
Speaker 1: There you go. Picante.
38:20
Speaker 4: Going back to where the bread is buttered.
38:22
Speaker 2: Seriously, Picante, you are addicted to Oklahoma State, man. All right, man,
38:26
Speaker 2: we got to go quick here. Give us your segment.
38:27
Speaker 8: No, only pick it three times. Only pick it three times.
38:30
Speaker 1: You've only done four segments. All right. All right.
38:34
Speaker 2: I am going to I won't do that to you, Bone.
38:37
Speaker 2: I ain't going to do the Gamecocks. It would be
38:39
Speaker 2: almost like an extreme curse. Then if I did that,
38:41
Speaker 2: I will go Alabama minus 13 and a half against
38:45
Speaker 2: Texas A & M. Bama back at home. Back at home,
38:49
Speaker 2: they've lost two straight. I think Texas A & M
38:51
Speaker 2: is doo-doo by SEC standards this year.
38:53
Speaker 1: I don't like the way Marcel Reed's playing.
38:55
Speaker 2: I think Alabama turns him over a couple times. I
38:58
Speaker 2: think Alabama makes a statement not to forget about us
39:01
Speaker 2: just because of two losses. So I'll give the 13.5.
39:05
Speaker 8: Wow. Well, you really love me because I don't think
39:08
Speaker 8: that they're going to cover that, but I'm winning now.
39:11
Speaker 5: Oh, I do actually.
39:12
Speaker 1: There's no way they're covering that.
39:14
Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
39:15
Speaker 8: No, no, they don't cover that.
39:16
Speaker 1: All right, but Conte, I don't know.
39:18
Speaker 2: Am I going to listen to a guy, Bone, that is,
39:20
Speaker 2: I don't know, two games under.
39:21
Speaker 1: 500 the last three weeks? Am I going to listen
39:23
Speaker 1: to that guy?
39:23
Speaker 8: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm still 15-11
39:27
Speaker 8: in the season, which is not great.
39:28
Speaker 1: What about the last few weeks, though? Last few weeks,
39:30
Speaker 1: it seems like it's gotten a little better. That's all right.
39:33
Speaker 8: But in my pick, I'm 6-0 in the last two days.
39:36
Speaker 8: I'm 3-0, 3-0. So if you got the pick, I'm
39:39
Speaker 8: in a red zone right now. Okay, my last pick,
39:44
Speaker 8: Texas over 53.5. Huge play of implication. I know Arch
39:50
Speaker 8: Manning is not what we thought, but Ole Miss is
39:53
Speaker 8: not that good in the defense, so they're going to
39:55
Speaker 8: go at it. 53-and-a-half for me is low. I'm going 70, dude.
40:00
Speaker 8: They're going to go crazy.
40:03
Speaker 1: I will say this.
40:03
Speaker 2: Mississippi's defense has been a different defense since the bye week,
40:06
Speaker 2: the last two weeks. I think Texas' offense is horrendous.
40:09
Speaker 2: I am taking Mississippi. plus three and a half plus
40:13
Speaker 2: three and a half on the road give me that
40:15
Speaker 2: three and the hook baby all right bone is wrapping
40:18
Speaker 2: us up picante you and i could go back and
40:20
Speaker 2: forth forever here and just yap um so there you
40:23
Speaker 2: go the picks have been made picante good luck to
40:26
Speaker 2: you talk to you next week picante all.
40:27
Speaker 1: Right oh my god bone that's cold bone well oh
40:31
Speaker 1: yeah i didn't mean it that way i just yeah.
40:33
Speaker 2: I actually kind of want him to win like i
40:35
Speaker 2: don't care if my picks suck they always suck But
40:37
Speaker 2: Picante's kind of a fun guy.
40:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, he took a dive there, I'm sure. If you
40:40
Speaker 1: go 0-3, it's because you simply took a dive. No,
40:42
Speaker 1: I try.
40:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be my excuse. All right, we've got to
40:46
Speaker 2: get out of here, y'all. We've got Hornets tonight and
40:48
Speaker 2: tomorrow night.
40:48
