  Speaker 1: wasn't happy with me on Twitter yesterday. But how I

  Speaker 1: became a Chelsea fan, tot I explained.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: He asked me why I'm a Chelsea fan, and I said, well,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they've got colors that are pretty close to Duke's colors.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: That's why I chose them. Oh man, don't listen to him.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Everybody can pick their own. He just wants everybody to
• 1:09

  Speaker 1: nine to nine, the fan in Raleigh and most importantly
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in Charlotte week nights here on WFNZ at seven o'clock. Goldie,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: how you feeling, Man? What's going on?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm only talking to you today, Matt.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But I picked Man City years ago like that. That
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: probably makes you mad.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I know doesn't. That doesn't bother me at all.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Why does the Chelsea way?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: What do you come after me for? Goldie? I'm listened,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: innocent Mann here. I'm just trying to pick a teams.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't look up the gear and say, well, this
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: seems obnoxious and words blue. Most teams that were Duke
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: blue are not obnoxious.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't say anything about Duke. By the way, that's
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a that's a very childish way to pick. Uh, pick
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: a team your favorite color.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I know I didn't do I said I didn't do
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of research. I got World Cup fever. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: wanted to join the soccer party. I looked up teams
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and I noticed, oh, they've got some gear and colors
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that match what I like, and then there's a wardrobe.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: That's a good way to go about it. No one
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: will make funny. So I thought I'll do that thing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Oyeah, it turns out, do you I might have lied
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: doing Goldie. I may have lied. By the way, they're undefeted.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Since I joined the fan, the fan base, they scored
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: like they scored thirty seconds with you as a fan.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: All Right, I'm a me gold I go, Goldie. Oh
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: there you go, there you go. I like that. I'll
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: walk up what that means in a minute, Goldie.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You you've got in the triangle. You've got some actual,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: uh meaningful football action involving the heels and the pack.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: This week, let's talk about this NC State game. I mean,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's obviously harder than ever to figure out what teams
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: are gonna be like to start the season in college
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: football with so much roster flux. What's your feeling on
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the Virginia NC State matchup? I gotta be honest, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: am a bit surprised that line is held steady up
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there at like five and a half points.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Look, I don't know what any team is going to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: be I don't pay attention to the offseason as closely
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: as some other people do. If State's offensive line is good,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I think their offense will be good. They have the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: best best quarterback in this matchup, and I think in
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: almost all of their toss up games for the wolf back.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, there might be some other toss up
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: games that emerge during the course of the season, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: in three of the first five they don't have the better quarterback.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Whether it's against Virginia or Vanderbilt or who's at Louisville,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: you'll have the better quarterback. If that matters, then State,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you know, could get off to a very good start.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: But really I don't We don't know. I really wish
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that we could get to a point where we're playing
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: a preseason game in football, but and I think most
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: coaches would agree. You could. Certainly you can sell some tickets,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you can keep it outside the season ticket a lot.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Then you may maybe make a little bit more money.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: That could be the place where you throw your FCS
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: game in. I just think that would be a lot better.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: But we're not there yet. But I'd love to see
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: a preseason game. But I think State'll be good last year.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The who's and and Nancy State played a great football
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: game that came down to the end, and I think
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it's going to be close again. TCU U NC did
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: not play a great game again. Now they travel to Ireland.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The weather is supposed to be open championship like weather,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: high fifties, rain in the forecast. It could be an
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: ugly weather day. Do you give the the Heels any
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: chance here to pull off an upset? What's your vibe here?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: As much as you can for what we know?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Mac? Did Bone say something?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Man? He is really holding this Chelsea against you?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Mac?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Will you ask gold if the Heels have a chance.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be bad weather. It's gonna be like open
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: championship weather. It was ugly last year. Passed that on
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the Golden Yeah. Bone wants to know. Can rain helped
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Wait rain and win? I tell you these Liverpool guys
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: are really.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: He's gonna like I think Carolina is gonna need like
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: serious open championship weather like thirty mile an hour wins.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So cecie, you can't throw the ball. Look, there's another
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: situation where we don't know. I mean, Carolina had what
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: seventy new players last year? What roughly sixty this year. Again,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I have no clue. Michael Lombardi doesn't really matter matter.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Does Steve Belichick's absence matter because he's not going to
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: be there for this? Maybe you know, maybe not. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the truth is is that their team is basically all new,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and because of that, we really don't know. I'm not
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: hugely optimistic, but I am curious, and I think I
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: will not be judgmental. I will be curious. I'm looking
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: forward to watching the game at noon on Saturday.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch a little doublehead. Thank you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for the answer. A little double header? There, We got
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that question relayed through to Goldie. What would you say though?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And I know you don't want to judge Goldie, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I will ask you this question anyway. What would you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: say if our resident to our residents, our Heel fan Fitty,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: who has picked the Heels straight up as seven and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a half point underdogs in this game.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Good luck? Good Look. We don't know how good TCU
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: is going to be, right, I mean, I don't see
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: anybody thinking the TCU is going to challenge for the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: top of the Big.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Twelve pick sixth in their conference.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I mean it's just it's mid table. They're
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: like Brentford. Uh so that's fine.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Everything is kind of give.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: We're trying to give Bone as much Premier League info
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: as possible throughout the sumcast.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate you said Brentford, right, Brentford. I thought
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: that's where OJ lived back in the day. Didn't he
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: live in Brentford? Brentwood?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, both thought that ritzy neighborhood in California had
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: their own Premier League.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Why does Brentwood have a team? All right? Anyways, keep talking.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Brentford does have Cato Klin at right back.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Goldie, what's your take right now? And
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: some it all up in the questions? Impossible? Every single
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: day we have more fifty or chaos in college sports
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: right now. LSU's have involved when Kiffin's bringing in fifth
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of your guys, will Wade bringing in fifth year guys.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: What's your take on the latest that we've seen in
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the world of college athletics chaos going on right now?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of people bent out of
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: shape over undrafted free agents who would have otherwise stuck
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: around college but didn't think that they would be eligible
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: now realizing that they are eligible and returning to college.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: These are not NFL players. They practiced a preseason game
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: is not an NFL game. It's a practice, that's all
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: it is. It's an organized practice, it's a timed dress rehearsal.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But it's not an NFL game. And I think it's
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: very disingenuous to call them NFL players because truthfully, almost
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: all of these players are going to get cut before
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: they ever drawn a NFL paycheck.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe practice squad, Like I would think Dai Kwon Wright
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: would be a practice squad player.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe, but he's but he hasn't been placed on there yet.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: You don't no players get paid for the preseason. They don't.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: They're not drawing a salary. They're being essentially, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: compensated for being a practice player. But so there's only
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: so many spots on a practice squad, right, I mean,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I have zero problem with the with those players being
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: eligible to play in college. The truth of the matter
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: is that this is an NCAA mess of its own doing.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, they should have.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Never said that the twenty twenty two incoming class was
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: ineligible for the rule that they just passed the five
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: years to play five is the rule they passed. Then
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: they said, oh, by the way, it doesn't include the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: incoming class. Might the incoming class of twenty two, which
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: makes no sense. It's funny Maxson, who played Carolina the
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: last couple of years, is going to play. I forget
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: where he's playing naturally.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Georgia Southern. Georgia Southern right just aimed a starter.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It's his seventh year of college football.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: He could be the chancellor by this point.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have his doctorate before he before he plays
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: the season. Look like he could go to med school.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Does Georgia Southern have a medical school? He could graduate
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: before his college football career is over. Nobody has a
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: problem with that, and I don't either. But this is
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: somebody who is playing his seventh year of college football.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: What's worse? I got zero problem with. Look, the NCAA
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: has screwed this up from the start. Anybody who is
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: declared eligible by a court I'm okay with. I don't care.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I really don't. Uh. And by the way, I love
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the SEC's statement yesterday. They should not be eligible to play,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: but should not and will not are two very different things.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: The SEC will do nothing to LSU, nothing to LSU
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: or Ole Miss or any to. I think all Miss
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: didn't they have a of a basketball player coming in.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe they're all going to LSU. I don't.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I thought all the football and basketball fifth year guys
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: went to. I thought we'll Wade and Lane Kifth and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: have hoarded them all.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: They're not called the LSU fifth years.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Do you not feel though, goldie for guys that might
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have to lose a spot on the roster, like if
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you're already at one hundred and five, and I don't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: know if LSU is or not, Like you are bumping
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: guys off the roster to add guys. You're also giving
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: playing time from guys who have And I think this
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is why some coaches like Dan Lanning say I ain't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: doing it right now, it's too late, because I don't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: think some coaches want to say, hey, you worked your
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: ass off in spring and in summer camp to earn
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a starting job, but this guy right here is going
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to come in and take your job. I think some
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: coaches just don't want to look players in the eye
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and do that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I respect that completely. Look, it's not ideal. There's always
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: going to be somebody losing out, whether it's a starter
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: who becomes a backup or a backup who falls off
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: the depth chart entirely, maybe even off out of the squad.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I get it. That sucks, But those are choices made
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: by coaches. They don't have to There is nobody who
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: is forcing coaches to do this. Layne Kiffin could not
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: be more disingenuous. Well, if we don't recruit them, somebody
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: else will. He's not wrong, but to use that as
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: justification for why he is is silly. There's obviously a
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: need on their roster. And Will Wade you know, you
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: know how many players Will Wade had on his roster
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: like two weeks ago.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Four?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Four?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four, He's got six eligible players now he's up
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to now.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Congratulations, I could be wrong. Four is not or not
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: nuts not you need five the least. That's why I
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: got it six, baby, Godi.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: While you're talking, I saw Fox Sports Radio's Aaron Torres,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: who's covered college for a long time. He tweeted out
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a photo of the twenty twenty seven LSU basketball roster
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and it's the cast of blue chips.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Nick Nolty's involved. Now they gotta do blue chips too.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Now for them, it's the group from Space Jam now Here.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: When Blue Chips came out, we thought, war this, this
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: is a crazy movie. There's no way it's this. It's this,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: uh this shady. Turns out Blue Chips was mild in
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the program the football movie he got this is wild?
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Do Blue Chips too? Man? Update it to include fifth years?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Nils now shacks the GM of the program.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: The optics and by the way of a lot of
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: this stuff obviously are not great. But optics aren't facts. Uh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: And facts are that these guys, if they're declared eligible
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: by the courts, whatever.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't bother you. So we do have a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: handful of people that are saying, right on, Goldie, I'm
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: not there. There are people out there saying I'm not
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: bothered by it. Two and you did nail it. The
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: NCAA made this situation the mess that it is. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, doesn't that apply to everything at college sports?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: All right, Goldie, you are the man. Hopefully you will
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: accept Chelsea bone as time goes on, Goldie, hopefully you will.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Uh No, I'll never accept that part my way.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I was reminded it's also not just the colors. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: have a cousin named Chelsea, so that made sense too
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: my head, that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Would have been a much better reason.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Oh man, Bone's a Yankee fan, they say, over the years,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: have spent money, some of it very badly, and that's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: what Chelsea does.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I think it's a good fit for him. Don't you
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: root for the Yankees back of the Premier League.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: We spend that money, well, sir, all right, well, I went,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: well we did. We did that for a while. Anyway, Goldie,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you're the man brother. We appreciate you.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Peace Fels
