  Speaker 3: show also got to do our final check-in uh with
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: a season-long uh outlook with unc fans and state fans
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: how many wins do you need to feel at the
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: end of the season like I should be smiling. How
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: many wins do you need, State fans, Heels fans? Or
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Heels fans, do you just want a Belichick pink slip
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: when the season ends? We will talk about all that stuff.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: We'll preview Panthers cuts. We will preview the game tonight
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: with no starters playing. Are you mad at Canalis about that?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And secondly, is there anything interesting to watch for tonight
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: at the game? We'll have to monitor that. We're going
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to have to look at the weather, too, Bone. There
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: has been some talk about possible thunderstorms tonight that could
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: affect this game, so we're going to have to talk
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: At some point. I know a weatherman.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I know a weatherman that listens. Weatherman Mark, yeah, you
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: guys are tight, man. You guys bicker like an old
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: married couple every day. Found my new MFG, man.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: How dare you treat me like that?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like MFG was not as combative.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: No. As weatherman Mark is towards you. He gets cartoonishly
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: angry at me. And then he comes around and we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: start over again. Anyway, man, we are ready to roll, baby.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The Bone Man's in the house. The Fit Dog is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in the house for the first three hours of the show.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Fit Dog's minutes will be limited today, Bone, because it's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the final week of the preseason. He is heading off
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: with KB to Harris Cherokee Casino and Resort. KB's broadcasting
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: live there today at 3 o'clock. The Fit Dog has
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: been given the assignment, Bone, to be the on-site producer.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So we get Shroppy in here for the final hour
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of the show. How about that? Fiddy, what a day.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So you woke up at what time today, Fit Dog?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: 4 a.m. You're going to do this show till 9.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Then you're going to travel a couple hours with KB
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the vehicle, produce the show. And then there's countdown
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to kickoff as well, right? From up there, KB from
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up there. So you will also produce that from there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: What time will you be home tonight, Fiddy?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Best case scenario, 1130 tonight.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That's a day right there, baby. This is a day.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That is a day. That's why you're in a station.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: This is how you become the signal right here, baby.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That's it, man. That is why. By the way, Mackers,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I have an update. Later on in the show, we're
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: going to try something for the first time ever. Listener Picante.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: who thinks he's a god of sports betting, who apparently
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Mac is at a 98% clip in his picks all time,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: will give us his picks for the weekend at 935.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He's so amped up, he's already had two Red Bulls
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and a shot of whiskey. Uh-oh, there's God. So there's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a chance that we may have to move up Picante
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: before he passes out.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Those Red Bulls ought to keep him going, though, for
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: a little bit, I think, and counteract the whiskey. This
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: is basically a case, if anybody's going to listen today
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: and be like, why is this guy going to do
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: a pick segment? This is the type of guy, a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: lot of people may know this type of person, that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: brags about how great their picks are. and eventually you've
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: got to call them on it. So, Picante, you've got
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: to deliver, baby. You are now going to have the spotlight.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And the man crafted eight picks, and Max said, let's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: go ahead and trim that down to three picks.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: The man was trying to do the whole card. You know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Lee Sterling, sir. Also, at 845, this is pretty amazing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Bone Man actually wanted to hear a Carolina fan and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a Wolfpack fan, go at it. We're kicking off both
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: seasons tomorrow, and the Bone Man has set up the
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: ultimate fan representatives to kick off the season. Complainer-in-Chief to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: represent UNC, and Wolfpack Kyle to represent NC State. I
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: didn't think you liked either one of these guys, Bone.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I want destruction on.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: The phone lines. Now, here's the problem with that idea.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: This could either be something where people say, this is
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: why you guys last. It's genius ideas like that. Or
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: this could be one where people say, this is how
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you lose your spot by ideas. I have no idea.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I know what we're getting out of Complainer in Chief.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It's going to be just rambling. I said it's just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going to be rambling nonsense. We've never heard Wolfpack Kyle.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: We have no clue what he sounds like. I only
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: know by the text. So, Mac, I fully say this
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: could either be our best idea ever or one where
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Kyle Bailey is going to put us in the back
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of his truck today and drive us out of town
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: like Finney.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: If I had to guess, Wolfpack Kyle sounds like a tractor.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not broken down. Hopefully the phone signal.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Can reach the studios. How does a human sound like
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a tractor? I don't know. Give me an impression of that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can make a tractor noise.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what I'm saying.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a cow.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It probably looks like one. I know this.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: He at least will not say Dolly Parton's music was
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: overrated within, I don't know, about 28 hours of her passing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: You're so fixated on that. By the way, we've got
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: to talk about it. Phinney not only bone said that
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: about Dolly. He lied to us, Bone, about the circumstances
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: surrounding that. He made it seem like Wes and Walker
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: wanted him on their show as a country music guru
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to weigh in on the great Dolly.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Parton and her legacy. They're Kirk Loader, if you will.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you kidding me?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: It turns out Fitty had this take, and he's screaming
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: it in the background, trying to force it onto their show.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And now he now he wants to do some sort
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of apology for it. I just it's unbelievable bone. The messes,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the lying, the bad judgment. I mean, this dude is
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: a walking train wreck.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Walker. I love, you know, Ford Fitty Walker tried to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: move on. And Fitty was so annoying that they had
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to go to him. And also, Matt, this is also
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: at two thirty in the afternoon. Like their show is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: winding up here. Yet Fitty is still harassing people. He's still.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Ten hours after he got here, still doing that. He's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: still wandering the building just looking for a piece of somebody.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Just looking for airtime and looking to spew his takes
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: that are going to have people hate him.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Now, there's been an official ban, right? You're not allowed
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in there for, like, what, a week?
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: That is what i was told but i've been given
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: my way back.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: He's allowed to apologize and then get and then he
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: gets permissioned they locked the studio so he didn't get
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: in yesterday but if he apologizes which in my knowing
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: of finney uh just seems like a guy that's very
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: willing bone to apologize and say i said something i
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have that seems to be a real strong actually
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: no Actually, he's stubborn as hell, and he digs in.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, the back and forth going on in that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: side studio yesterday with Fitty still trying to defend a
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: take and defend his timing of the take.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: My Lord.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: God bless you, Fitty. God bless you. What would we
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: do without Fitty around here, Bone? I have a list, actually,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: of things we'd like to accomplish. Mack, last night, what
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: would the Braves do? And a lot of people are
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: texting about it already. What would the Braves do?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: What a week. They beat the Dodgers 1-0 last night.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: They sweep them after the Milwaukee win on Sunday. Hell
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of a week for the Braves. But, Mack, where would
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they be without future Hall of Famer Chris Sale? My
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: God almighty, what a performance last night.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That was filthy, man. That slider was filthy. The four-seam fastball.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did that at 37. Complete game, shutout
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: with 11 Ks against that Dodger lineup last night to
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: finish off the sweep.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: In an era where guys are taken out and you
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of pitchers back with the ability
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: anymore to say, this is mine, I got it. Normally
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: even at eight innings they get taken out. Now he said,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this is mine. I got this. The other night on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Sunday night. He wouldn't let Walt Weiss take him out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Nope, nope.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: 97 pitches through eight innings as a 37-year-old. Who's been
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: through hell with his body, by the way. He says, Skip,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: don't even think about it. The other night on the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Sunday night game, they put up a tale of the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: tape because they were playing Milwaukee. It was Mizorowski versus
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: him for the Cy Young. And yes, Mizorowski's putting up
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: just video game numbers himself. And a lot of the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: numbers did side towards the Miz. Yeah, I think he's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: got to be the guy. Last night, though, Chris Sale said,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I know my numbers may not be as gaudy as his,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: but that was a Cy Young-like performance last night by
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Chris Sale. That was unbelievable.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I think the fact that he did it at that age,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's the best he's... Pitched as
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a Brave, which is saying something. And some people think
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that might be the best game he's ever pitched in
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: his entire career last night. He reached, I guess it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: not exactly, they're calling it 100 last night. I guess
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: it was 99.6. He had two pitches that reached that,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: both to Otani. Those are his two fads. pitches in
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: eight years. I mean, he just brought it last night.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest four-game stretch of the Braves'
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: season right there. They were reeling. They were trying to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: find themselves. They had the tough Dodgers coming up, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: they salvaged Milwaukee. They went 3-0 against the Dodgers. Now
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it's Colorado for 3-0. much more manageable in theory of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a team to play against. But that was– they needed
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it the most. Their guys stepped up. And you can't
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: say enough about the week that they've had in Atlanta.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And there was no room for error. That's the amazing thing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: It's not like he won a game 4-0.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Like, Drake Baldwin, the first pitch, a brave faces. In
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the first, Baldwin homers. and that holds
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: up for the entire game against that Dodger lineup because
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Sale was so ridiculous. That's awesome, man. Now you've got
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a rested bullpen. Tonight you've got Colorado coming in, so
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: you get a little.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Bit of an easier test this week. You've got all
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this momentum. Yamamoto goes into the seventh inning. One earned run,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: one walk, eight Ks, gets a loss.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That's it, Clay. I'm telling you, that whole series, playoff vibes.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: One-run games, they go down to the wire. That is
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: definitely a playoff game right there, where you get two
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: aces like that. So, man, that's cool for the Braves.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: That's definitely cool for the Braves. This weekend, though, obviously
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: football will take center stage. Week zero, we'll let you
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: hear from Belichick and Dorn coming up in a little bit.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about a couple of the other matchups that
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: maybe you're not focused on. Maybe you just know, hey,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I know UNC and State are both playing games. We'll
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: talk about who else is playing week zero coming up
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: tomorrow as well. We'll talk about the Panthers playing their
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: final preseason game tonight. We have reached the point in
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the preseason, Bone, where I realize we're playing an extra game.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself yesterday, because you always say it
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: all the time, there's only maybe one Panther game back
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that you truly don't get amped up for the entire year.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And it used to be. It used to be that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: four-stealer game in the preseason where it's the one Panther
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: game where you almost go, oh, we have to break
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: this game down. But, you know, the last one is,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it's football, but it's not exact. We're ready
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to go for the regular season. We have this one more.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: preseason hurdle to go here.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: And it sucks that we had to wait for a
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: home game, especially with no training camp viewing, right? It
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: sucks that fans had to wait and that they get
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: this final preseason game and it wasn't a game where
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the starters are playing.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: That really does suck.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: We've played three preseason games, but stars have played in
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: two of them. but not any of them played here.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: So that is pretty annoying, the way the schedule worked out. Obviously,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: it's going to mean a lot to guys battling for
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: jobs tonight. We'll talk about that. We'll also try to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: figure out, Bone, could they surprise us with a cut?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Could there be a surprise guy kept on this roster
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: on Sunday? We'll talk about it. Are you bothered that
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: as much as the Panther offense has struggled, especially the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: other day, that they aren't getting a series or two?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Or does it not? Have you just given up on that?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I get why he's doing that, but at the same time,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: as we said yesterday, there's a lot of time until
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that first actual game. I wouldn't mind seeing them at least—
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the first-team offense, because they're going to be playing against
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter tonight. I wouldn't mind
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: just leaving with some form of confidence, no matter who
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it's against. I don't care if they're playing against, you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: show pros and recycling bins. I wouldn't mind at least
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a series or two to kind of go into this
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: extended break here with a little bit of offensive confidence.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Do you want the confidence for them or for you
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: as a fan?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Is this for our own sanity? Matt, this is about
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: me as a supporter and a fan. This is about
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: me wanting to see something positive. Because he really doesn't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: prove anything. No.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: The twos that Kenny Pickett looked good against, if Bryce
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: looks good against him, I'm not sure that really does anything.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Here's the real truth. We're going to have to spend
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the next couple weeks talking to the detractors and the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: haters about what happened in the joint session. At least
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: we could point to this thing and say, hey, last
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: time we saw them, they were balling. And then we
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: don't mention who they were balling against. You just want vibes.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: You want vibes to pick up a little bit. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: don't blame you. That's a good, honest answer.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: And you know what? When we talk about that later,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: there's probably going to be some fans saying the same thing.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, if a starting offensive lineman gets hurt,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Because we wanted to improve vibes and confidence. Can you
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: imagine how bad Canales would get shredded for it? That's
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: the only thing I'm thinking. And I'd probably be a
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: part of that, honestly.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, though. We'll talk about it later.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a long time until we can
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: try to get that feeling of what we saw out
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: of our system.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I think some fans also like... just want to be
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: entertained with the starters tonight rather than three hours of
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: twos and threes. But you're going to get three hours
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: of twos and threes tonight. So anyway, we've got that
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: going on. Charlotte FC's on the road, but it is
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: the big I-95. rivalry against Atlanta tomorrow. By the way,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: we have just days left in the transfer window for
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: the MLS. And Dean Smith keeps telling us, man, I
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: hope that final senior spot gets filled on the roster.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We're running out of days here.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: We're running out of days to add somebody other than
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Maxie in this window. So that's something we're watching. And
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: then tomorrow, Daytona, final race before we get the chase going.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: We get the old playoff format back, Bone Man. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I guess Fitty, I guess the guys that are battling
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: for spots, Hamlin's already clinched the top spot in terms
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: of seeding. They seed it and stagger the points, Bone,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: for the start of the chase. I guess basically Van
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Gisbergen is 31 points over Preece for the final spot.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: That kind of feels like the only drama. This doesn't seem, Fiddy,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: like one of the most dramatic final races.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the result of it, Mac, because it's not
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: a win-and-you're-in situation where we had over a decade of
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: if you won a race, you clinched yourself.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Into the, the chase.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: I do think that it will be something to something
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: to monitor just because of S if, if SVG does
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: go out early, can Ryan priest in that 60 car,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: which has shown some speed as Ford's have had their
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: resurgence here in the summer. Could he maybe have a
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: good enough of a point today to maybe get his
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: way into that top 16, but, uh, But no, you're
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: definitely right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Denny clinched the No. 1 overall seed last week.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: This point system, Finney, I hope Smoke Ludwig's still sleeping.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Going back to this point system will decrease drama, in
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: my opinion.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: More often than not. It will.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Like, and you, and listen, there's plenty of people might
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: be screaming at their radios, but it was manufactured drama. Well,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: every bit of sports is manufactured drama. Someone has to
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: come up with the systems, the playoff systems, the, the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: scoring health, you know what I mean?
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Someone has to create the way at which we judge
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: a competition, uh, um and people want and sports want
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: competition to be good because if you did have win
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and you're in we would have been sitting here saying
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: can someone race their way in and then the points
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you were guaranteed bone you were guaranteed a four you
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: know four drivers going for the title best man wins
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: you were guaranteed that in the old format you're not
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: guaranteed to have that tight of a battle in the
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: final race. What's going on? Did you finally take a
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: shower for the first time in three weeks?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I heard Mops Marvel back there.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: What was that all about? You crying in the shower
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: over there?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Mac, did you refer to Charlotte FC versus Atlanta as
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: the I-95 rivalry?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I-85. My bad. My bad. Why did I say 95?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: 95 ain't anywhere near us. How long you lived here, man?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It was a slip, you doofus. It's not like I
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: really thought.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: It was 95.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Well, you said it. I must have thought it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I did say it. My goodness. Holy crap. All the
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: dumbass crap you say, and this gets some sort of.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: When's 9 o'clock get here, Bo? When we send our
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: little kid off with Uncle Bailey? My God.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Mac, D.C. United in New York is known as the I-95.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: I-85!
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, there is one in the sport that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: has that. I'm just trying to clean it up, too.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe D.C. Darby. That's what it is. Maybe New York's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: playing D.C. this weekend. I'm excited for that matchup.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: My goodness.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Try to get your back here, pal.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: One number was off.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You think the soccer guy would know that, Bone?
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: All I'm saying, you think the soccer guy would get
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: the name of rivalry matchups right?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: What a troll, man. I can't say much. I can't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: even get the names of the teams that Chelsea's playing correct.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: It was a slip. It was a slip.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: All right. Everyone just calm down. We're all on one team.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It's football time, baby. Everyone just... Relax, we're all on
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: one side. Speaking of that, Bill Belichick and Dave Doran
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: talk about their season openers. We have found a national
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: media defender for Belichick, and just two days after their
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: big rule change, the SEC already suffers a blow in court.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: That's going to be part of winning the game, is
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: which side of the ball, which sideline, can do that
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: the best. Because there's a lot of new players. I mean,
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: they have 31 transfers. You know, it's a lot of
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: guys that we didn't play against last year that are
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: going to be in this game. Coaches are all the same,
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: but how they use the pieces are different. So we
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: got to figure out how they're going to use them.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: Who are the guys? Are there matchup problems? And And
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: they've got to do the same thing for us. We
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: don't have as many transfers as them, but there's new
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: pieces on the field.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Dave Doran talking about preparing for
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Week 1. Even at a game, Bone, where you played
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Virginia last year in a freaking classic that State won
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: 35-31 late interception by the pack. But even in a
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: game like that where you played a team last year,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: there are so many new faces that he admits– We're
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: going to get in this game, and there are going
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: to be things that surprise us. Oh, that guy's playing? Oh,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: that guy's that good? So if the coaches are saying this,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: and Belichick talked about similar stuff yesterday or this week
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: because of all the roster turnover, how the hell are
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: we as fans supposed to accurately predict what these teams
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and games will be like?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: It's impossible. It was impossible, Matt, to figure out. Early
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: season stuff for a long time anyway. Then they added
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: week zero, and it got even more complicated when they
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: moved up a week. Now you throw in on the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: UNC side, the international games can be tricky sometimes to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: figure out. The Ireland games are weird. So not only
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: is it already a weird sport to figure out early,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: but now you don't even know really the full... rosters
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and what it means it is the most confusing thing
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: ever to figure out what we may see and that's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: probably why all jokes aside we're probably wrong a lot
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of times because early on how do we have any
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: idea what.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: We're doing i couldn't predict anything without portal craziness yes
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: now you unc has brought in 40 freshmen and like
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: 19 transfers they basically have 60 new players Last year,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: they had 70 new. Like, how are we supposed to
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: figure out what we're going to see? And, you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: you go to Virginia. They got a ton of transfers,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: a bit more than state. It's just it really is crazy. Now,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: having said that, I've already figured out tomorrow. So as
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the show goes along, I'm confident in my.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: This is what we do.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, we will.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Try don't worry we don't have any idea what we're
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: doing but right now i feel confident that i know
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: what i'm doing we don't yeah i didn't want people
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to think that we're going to stop trying to pick
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: who wins these games tomorrow and how many games these teams.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Win it's just a full disclaimer like we've got a
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: legit excuse if we fail.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Miserably because i'm only one in two on picks this
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: year because i tried some fc picks last night uh
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: fcs picks last night and uh let me tell you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: what i can't wait for teams i know to come
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: back oh boy did you bet on on my towson
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: tigers yeah uh I had the itch, and I was
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and I thought, man, I need... I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: had a parlay last night, Mac, that involved Towson covering
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: two and a half, the over in the Delaware State game,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and then I had... What was the other game I had?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The one I lost was Towson. Towson
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: didn't come through for you? So here's how you win
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: your money back. If you're willing to bet FCS, can
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I interest you in some preseason football, Bone, where starters
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: will not play? Yeah.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: That's how you get your money back.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: It was Towson covering two and a half, Delaware State
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Stony Brook over, and Austin Peay minus 14 against Gardner.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Back at one point in the... 6 p.m hour last
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: night i had one tv that had a youtube video
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: of karens that run away from cops at dui checkpoints
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: video playing and i had thousand main on the other
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: tv and i thought to myself self how did we land.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Here where do you where does one find that.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Oh there's there you can find that anywhere is it
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a youtube video oh no it's like what did you
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: search for to find that there's like a thought well
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the algorithm if you watch a few you know you're gonna.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Get oh you're as you're Your algorithm is Karens versus cops.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: There's like 1,000 body cam channels where you can watch
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Karens erupt. Oh, my goodness. You can watch DUI checkpoints.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It's a lot.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I respect it. Obviously, that guy was extremely busy last night.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I could tell. When I was watching Towson, Maine and
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: texting Mac about it last night, I realized we got
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a problem.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: When you said the point spread, Towson's actually favored Mack,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I realized. Oh, no.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, he did. They got down 21 and they
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: rallied and they fell short. As they often do.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about these games and some of the key things.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: This Cam Robinson injury for Virginia is going to be,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: whether he plays or not, is going to be a
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: huge difference maker. We're talking about a guy that was
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: named on that top 100 list of ESPN, I think
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: in the 70s, in terms of ranking all-time players. We're
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: talking about one of the best defensive players in the conference,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: and he might not play. That's going to be a
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: huge thing for how Duke Scott and C.J. Bailey fare.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: on offense for NC State. They also have a receiver out.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: They have 16 players out, but best I can tell,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: there's really two that matter. There's a receiver, a transfer
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: from UCLA that won't play, and Cam Robinson is up
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: in the air. State, on the other hand, is pretty healthy.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: In terms of key guys, they're pretty damn healthy going
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: into this game.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Matt, as we analyze it throughout the show, I do
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: feel like we're going to see two different football games
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: played tomorrow, two different styles of games. I think the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: first game is going to look like some of those
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: early games. The Ireland games, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Farmageddon,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: they all sort of look like low scoring, kind of ugly,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: grinded out games. The elements aren't good. Notre Dame's the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: only real team that's played over there early that's looked good.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: any good at all when they beat Navy. I think
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that UNC's chance is for the game to be a grinder,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: muck it up, slow down TCU. And that's how they
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: have any semblance of hope tomorrow is if it's one
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of those early season, ugly slugfest type games. I think
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: state Virginia is, who played a great game last year,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to be more of the, if
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you're into the points stuff, I think that's where you're
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: going to see some points put up on the board tomorrow.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to see two different styles of
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: football in the back-to-back games tomorrow. Yeah, and that shows
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in the Vegas over-under numbers.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: The interesting thing is Petrino isn't really always a grinded-out, slog,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: offensive guy. He likes to open things up a little bit,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: but maybe that's not the way to play it tomorrow.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: That's one of the interesting subplots in this game. They can't.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Last year, TCU, once they got out, there was no
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: way that UNC was going to play catch-up with the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: way they were built last year. If TCU marches up
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and down early, gets up 7-0 or gets a lead,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and UNC's got to try to figure out how to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: rally in some way, it's not going to work. They
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: have to stay close, and they have to make it
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: an ugly... An ugly Bill Belichick-type football game with how
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: he's going to have to coach this thing up tomorrow.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: They want it to be– and they lost these games.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: But I want to see a Cal or Virginia-type performance
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: from them. I want to see– you know what I mean?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I want to see a game where they can compete.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: And that's going to rely on their defense. But their
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: defense only brings back 32% of their production. There are
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: so many new faces on that defense. And as far
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: as State goes, to me, Boney, Virginia's going to want
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: to occupy the ball, hold the ball, grind it out
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: on the ground with those old offensive linemen and their
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: running game. And they're going to get Pribule involved. On
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the flip side, C.J. Bailey could give you fireworks. I
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: think the advantage at quarterback for NC State is astronomical.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: And listen, I say this as someone that grew up
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: in the exact same hometown as Bo Pabrillo. He's a York,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Pennsylvania kid. Like, I hate doing it to him, but
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I honestly think he is the biggest weakness on Virginia
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: this season. I think Virginia's defense is going to be
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: good again. I think Virginia's offensive line is— Run game,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: run game will be good. Offensive line might be the
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: best in the conference. I mean, every starter, Bo, has
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: been all-conference somewhere at least one year of his career.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: And they are veterans, man. But I think that quarterback
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: is at least a step, if not multiple steps, down
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: from Chandler Morris.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: There's a chance that by the end of the year,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Perbule is not even the guy. Eli Holstein may get
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: some run in there as well, a guy who's quarterbacked
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: in the ACC before. I think slowing down the Virginia
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: run game is going to be vital because I don't
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: think Perbule is going to beat you. But the offensive
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: line and Peyton Lewis, the transfer– who did spend time
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee. They could really utilize the run game. Matt,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: here's your quick forecast update in Ireland tomorrow. Around 57
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: to 60 degrees, steady rain and overcast skies throughout the game.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: There you go. It's going to be a track that
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: UNT is going to have to having their favor, I think.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: There you go. Although I think TCU is going to
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: want to run the football this year. Remember, it's not
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Kendall Bryles anymore, right? This is the dude that came
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: from UConn. This is a dude that wants to run
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: the football a little more. It makes us, you know,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: and they got the kid Payne in the backfields, pretty
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: damn good back. So maybe they both, maybe they both
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: try to pound the football.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: They have the quarterback from... Ha there.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: He's supposed to be a baller, too, man. Yeah, they're
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: talking about him as a third-round draft choice, potentially. All right,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: let's hear from some more folks. This is Bill Belichick
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: talking about neutral site game in Europe and what that
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: means in terms of the fan atmosphere.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: It's a lot different playing in a neutral stadium. Usually
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: you play where your fans are real loud when things
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: are going good and loud when they have the ball
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: and things like that And when you play away, it's
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: the reverse of that. You know, a game like this
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: is similar to, you know, in those Super Bowls and
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: those neutral site games that we've played and played abroad.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Fans are pretty evenly split.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: A lot of times.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: They just cheer sort of randomly. I'm not really sure
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: what they're cheering for. but it's not for the game.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: It's for, you know, their, I don't know, the local
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: cheers they have and so forth. So, you know, I
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: looked around a couple of times and thought, oh my God,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: what just happened? Did we just fumble?
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And we're still in the huddle.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, slight comedy?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: That's what I do here.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Slight comedy there?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: At some point tomorrow, we probably will hear Country Roads.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to throw that out there.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Do they like Country Roads in Ireland too, or is
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: that just Germany? Oh, yeah. I just assumed that every
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: international football game.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: They might.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I was surprised to find out Germany
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: loves country roads. So maybe Ireland, they do get down
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: that way. But anyway, we will see if they can
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: figure out what to cheer for tomorrow. It is the
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Aer Lingus football classic. I love saying Aer Lingus.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: By the way. Which is just.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: That is a funny word. It's a great... Aerdingus would
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: be even better. It's a great name of an airline. Okay,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: it's an airline. Okay, gotcha. Would you like to fly
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Aerlingus or Aerdingus? Either one of those?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a medication, perhaps. You've got to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: take care of something for your lingus. Phiddy, have you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: worked on your Irish accent yet for an update today?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: That's been requested.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: No, I have not.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: All right, that's great. Check that off the list. But
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: there will be an opportunity. Actually, you may not be
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: here when this happens. There is an opportunity for a
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: 92 at some point today. All right? At some point today,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: there will be an opportunity.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: It might not be Irish. It damn sure won't be Canadian.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: 92s will have to rename some lakes today.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Hey, stay away from Lake Norman 92, all right?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: He does have a golf course up there, doesn't he, Bones?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: He does, yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, God.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Nate Trump coming in 2028.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Frankly.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: Frankly.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Ishmael says, Ishmael says, international fans just like UNC
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: fans don't understand football.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: You just got ripped, Fitty, by a Western Illinois Leatherneck fan.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: That is true. Did you see what he texted in?
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Show grid update.
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: 7 a.m.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Can Western Illinois' offense be slowed down? It's just the
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: best offense in college football. He even wrote it the
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: way we would write our topics on the grid.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Does he have access to our grid? He's a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Western Illinois Leatherneck grad. They scored 64 points last night.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Who the hell were they playing? There you go, baby.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Hence the text, I guess. I didn't even... Okay, all right.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You should have bet on them, Boney. I wish you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: would have told me. They beat the Northwestern Red Raiders 65-14.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: There you go. Good start for the Leathernecks. We've got
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: to get... We promised this. We have to get, Bone,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: to the one national media member that before the start
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: of this season wants to defend Bill Belichick.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And that is one. Daniel F. Orlovsky.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: Can everyone pump the brakes? I'm trying to dunk on
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: Coach Belichick. We're talking about one of the greatest football
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: coaches of all time. And everybody that talks about Bobby
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: Petrino raves about him as an offensive mind.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: We don't think those two guys are going to make
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: it a little bit better. And the distractions for the
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: most part this offseason have been gone in comparison to
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: last year at North Carolina. I know the Lombardi situation
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: got some noise for like 48 hours, but that distraction's removed.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: The conversation of the girlfriend and the distraction of last year,
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: at least the noise that it brought, that's been gone
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: this offseason. And if we watch North Carolina for the
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: most part last year, a lot of their major flaws
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: were fundamental things. Tackling, effort to the football, blocking through
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: the whistle, like basic stuff. The greatest coach of all
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: time that was partly in part or in part.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Because of those things. I think he's going to fix
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of that stuff.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling everybody that this team's.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Going to go to the college football playoff.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Just more competent.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: I think we're going to get a significantly improved, just
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: fundamentally sound, basic football team.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: There you go, Danny. Oh, stand it up for the hoodie, man.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: And I hope we do, and they can't be worse.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: In some ways, I think it's inevitable they will be better,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: but that's schedule, though.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: You would expect that, but here's the problem that you
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: brought up when this segment started. It's also almost a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: whole entire new football team. So you could say, well,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: maybe those guys learned from last year. Well, it's a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: lot of new guys, though, that didn't play last year,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: so are they going to go through similar stuff again
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: because of the constant rotation of how many new players
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: they have? I don't know.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: We'll have to see how that plays out. And 40
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: are freshmen.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: So 40 are young. Some of the same problems, maybe,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: because he doesn't have enough time to really coach these
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: guys up for extended years.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: But he does have the fact that they all were
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: there in the spring. There was no spring portal.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: It's fair.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Last year, they lost guys in the spring, had to
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: bring guys in in the spring. I mean, I just
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: feel like he has to be more prepared. The quarterback's
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: got to be better. Petrino is way better than Kitchens-like.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I do think we'll get into it at 7 o'clock
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: when we start talking about state and Carolina fan expectations.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: But here's the problem, though, Bone. They could be a
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: better team and win four games. The schedule is so
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: much harder than last year. This year's team with last
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: year's schedule, maybe you're in a bowl game. But, you know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: this year's team and this year's schedule, which is I'm
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: told the way it works, Mo. All right, Mac, how
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: about this? I'm told that's how it works in football.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: When we come back, a report about the Falcons that
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: will really crack you up. And we have news from
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Pete Thamel about a local team that selected their quarterback
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: this morning per source. We'll tell you who that is.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it really seemed, Judy, like the goal of the
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: entire organization was to have Tua be the starting quarterback
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: right away to start the season, let Michael Penix come
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: along slow. Remember, it's still nine months or so from
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: the ACL tear. Really, you'd like him to be inactive
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: for the first several games and really just take his
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: time and make sure he's fully healthy. Tua's play made
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: that impossible, not just in the preseason game, which we've seen,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: but It sounds like practice as well. All of which
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: is to say, this is Michael Penick's job for the team.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: He comes out and plays as well as he can.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: It actually could create the best case scenario for the
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: Atlanta Falcons.
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Give me that. Give me all of that right there.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: That's Ian Rappaport. Misery loves company bone is the saying.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: And we had a miserable day with our offense the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: other day against the Texans. So give me some of
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that Falcons misery. The plan in the off season was
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Tua will have this job, but because he has played
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: so badly, they have not been able to do that.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: This is supposed to be his gig. Pennix literally just
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: got back two days ago to practice and already outplayed
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Tua at practice on his first day back. Like, give
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: me all of this because I don't think Pennix will
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: be any good either, man. Tua looks far from his best.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Give me all of their QB incompetency, man.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: There's an old saying in the football world, Mac, if
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you have two left-handed injury-prone quarterbacks, do you really have
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: one at all? And that's Atlanta's current plight. oh man
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you know yeah they for a team also that is
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: so dependent on their offense and their skill guys and
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you know getting the ball to weapons and in pitch
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: they are all and they have been for a long
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: time they're all very weapon dependent and for a quarterback
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: question to be there that completely i think derails any
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: chance they have a success.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I i would um i i you I would love
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: to see how some of the fans that can't stand
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Bryce would act towards those quarterbacks in Atlanta. Oh, my goodness.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: But anyway, so that's glorious, man. Not saying we don't
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: have our own issues. I ain't blind. All right. But yes,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: that is definitely glorious to hear. And you're right. Like,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: that's one of the things. That's what I said when
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: they paid Fields, London and Bijan. That's great. Who's your quarterback?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and spend all that money on those positions.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Because at some point, a quarterback has to get the
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: ball to Pitts and London. And think about what they've
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: tried to do at the quarterback spot. They gave Kirk
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Cousins all that money, but then they drafted Penix in
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: a weird way to be the guy. But now he
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: is in doubt. Cousins is gone. They get Tua. He's
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: in doubt.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: They did all this quarterback maneuvering, but yet they still
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: probably ultimately need to go find their long-term quarterback. So
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: good luck to you, Atlanta.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Good luck.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: What's that like?
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Seth says the undrafted QB has looked the best for them.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Jack Strand. Jack Strand had himself a day. That's a
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: great old school Pat Summerall name. Terry Gubbs, back to
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the past, Jack Strand.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one. That's our movie star name
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: or something. That's a hell of a name right there.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: All right, I do want to hit on a couple of, obviously, Panthers.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: We'll talk some in the 7 o'clock hour, 725, about
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: the Panther questions. I am noticing a few more people today,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: when we brought it up, are expressing their issues with
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: the starters not playing in the preseason.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that coming up a little bit
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: at 725.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: 725.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: But a couple of college things. So the SEC, yesterday,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: just two days, Bone, after making the rule change that
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: you can't come back from the pros. uh, to play
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: in the sec. And obviously the big 10 was right there.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: They were the first ones. Big 12 has followed suit.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: And the ACC finally got off there, took us yesterday
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: and made that, uh, rule the same as well. But
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: the sec bone has already taken an L in a court,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: a Dallas judge signed an order on Thursday that prohibits
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: the NCAA, the sec, and specifically the Commissioner Greg Sankey
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: from stopping a group of athletes, three of whom are
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: already are right now on NFL rosters, from returning to
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: college sports for one more season. So already, Bone. We
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: knew it was coming. We knew the challenges were coming.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I had a feeling, Bone, that the athletes would win
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: these cases. Well, they're 1-0. The first one right there
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: has gone to the athletes. The Cowboys wide receiver, Jordan Hudson.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry?
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Not to be confused with Jordan Hudson, who is over
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: in Ireland right now.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I've been busy with my team. Can you
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: explain to me what's going on here? Is that Jordan
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Hudson at the fray right now? Wait right there. So
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I was flying Erlingas.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Bill. He is this Jordan Hudson is a
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: former SMU receiver that's in cowboy camp. So to him
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: and two Chiefs players are affected by this. So anyway,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: and then the lawyers that are involved in the Louisiana case. Bone,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: they are feeling frisky. There's quotes from multiple lawyers that
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: feel like they're going to go back in, they're going
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: to appeal and file a lawsuit against the SEC, and
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: they're going to win too. And one of them specifically
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: called out Sankey and said, I want to see him
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: on the stand trying to explain why this is legal,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: what he did. So, I mean, it's kind of funny
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: for the SEC to take an L, but this– they
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: will never stop going to court.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: This was like, there will never not be lawyers, man.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing though. Didn't the conferences Mac, like the
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: sec and the big 10, didn't they plan for this
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: to happen with the counters by the threat of suspensions
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: to the coaches? So can't say, he said, yeah, go
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: ahead and go ahead and play your guys. Go ahead
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: and do what you want to do. You're going to
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: get punished for it. So you can legally get those
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: guys in there, but if you play them, you're out.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Then let's do us for that. Then go ahead and
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: sue us for what our conference rule is. Also, um,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: We have a fight with Kentucky coming up as well
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: here because of Mark Mitchell's status. That's going to be
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: another one to monitor there on the basketball front.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the SEC wants to dig in and say that
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: our role is you can only transfer within the conference
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: in that first portal. So you can't do it now.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: So that could be SEC versus Kentucky. I mean, we
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: need tomorrow. We need games tomorrow so badly because the
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: court stuff is beyond annoying. It's beyond hard to follow.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: It's beyond annoying.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Is there going to be a team that has a
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: player in the game that all of a sudden he
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't come out for the second half because they decided
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: that it was too risky to play him during a game?
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Will that happen to a team this year? Like, Lane
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Kiffin decides, like, I might get suspended if this guy
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: stays out here. So we're going to have to keep
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: him inside for the second half. I will say no
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: to nothing.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, anything can happen in this ridiculous world of
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: college sports. All right, so you said you teased Bone
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: that there is a local quarterback story. What do we got?
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Pete Thamel, back of ESPN, wakes up every day
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and just throws out who's named the starting quarterbacks per sources. Today,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: it's Charlotte Cole-Gonzalez. Multi-time transfer, Western Carolina. First-team All-Stoke on
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: at one point. Pittsburgh on the way. Cole Gonzalez will
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback for the Charlotte 49ers.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: There you go, baby. And you figured he would be
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: the guy. We talked to Coach Albin about him, and
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: he raved about him. But there it is officially. And
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: looking forward to seeing him play, man. I would love
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: for the Niners to... I feel like it's similar to
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: the Tar Heels. I feel like the fan base for
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Charlotte is just kind of beaten down, and I would
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: love for them to show something. You know Albin can coach.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Gonzalez is a talent, man.
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: He is a talent. We'll see if the support system
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: around him is good enough, but I know he's got talent.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Certainly, I believe an upgrade of what they've had recently,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: so we'll— We'll see how it plays out. We're all
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: rooting for Albin to get that thing going in the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: right direction. More Charlotte 49er news. Old Jizzle, Jizzle James,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: has left, apparently, the Charlotte 49er basketball program, trying to
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: go back to Cincinnati. He said, I have to talk
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: to Coach Calhoun if I can come back or not.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: So that's your Jizzle update there on his status. Charlotte
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: lost Jizzle, and with it, some sizzle. You know what
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I mean? I would say.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: We didn't say this the other day, but he is
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: the son of Edger and James.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: That's true, yeah.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: So that's an interesting little fact there for him. How
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: about this fact? You know Matt in Greensboro, longtime texter,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: caller to the station? His last name is Strand. Matt Strand.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: He sounds a lot cooler. That's a lot cooler than
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Matt in Greensboro.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Matt Strand. That sounds like an old fullback name. Matt Strand.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I like it, man. I like to have that name.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: All right, anyway, I don't know what that has to
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: do with anything, Bone. There you go.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Going to break here? There you go.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: I think we are, baby.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: All right, because when we come back on the Mac
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: and Bone show, we're going to talk about State and
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: UNC from a season-long point of view. What are fan
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: expectations that would make you happy this year? What do
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: those teams have to do on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ?
