- 0:03Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
- 0:07Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Posh, come on, Posh.
- 0:10Speaker 2: This is my friend T-Bone.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Let's have some fun.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Do it live.
- 0:18Speaker 1: You know, when you're little, you don't. Remember everything.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Obviously, I was too young to remember a lot of
- 0:32Speaker 3: things from Carolina.
- 0:34Speaker 1: But as as I grew up, you know, you hear
- 0:37Speaker 1: the same story over and over and over and over again.
- 0:39Speaker 2: And so.
- 0:42Speaker 3: One story I always heard was Billy's first words were
- 0:46Speaker 3: beat Duke. There you go, baby. Little Billy accomplished his
- 0:58Speaker 3: lifelong dream. Since he first started speaking, he wanted to
- 1:02Speaker 3: beat Duke. Oh, my God. Little Billy is back torturing Bone.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Carolina had a 17-0 lead, gave it all away, and
- 1:12Speaker 3: was down 20-17. It felt like 2024 all over again.
- 1:17Speaker 3: And they put a drive together, a drive where men
- 1:21Speaker 3: were made. and the UNC football program where little Billy Edwards,
- 1:25Speaker 3: little Billy part two, little Billy Edwards grew up, although
- 1:28Speaker 3: I think he is pretty old, made a big fourth
- 1:30Speaker 3: down pass. McGill steps in with a 16-yard run, then
- 1:34Speaker 3: a 24-yard touchdown run. Carolina fans, how happy did that
- 1:38Speaker 3: drive make you? And then they held him off at
- 1:41Speaker 3: the end. Eget ends up with an interception. and Carolina
- 1:45Speaker 3: gets the win. Y'all, it is time for Pumped or
- 1:47Speaker 3: Pissed Monday, the college football edition on a college football
- 1:51Speaker 3: weekend that might be the most insane and glorious and
- 1:55Speaker 3: entertaining that I've ever seen in my life. Who's happy?
- 1:59Speaker 3: Tar Heel fans. Who's mad? Maybe Duke fans. We got
- 2:02Speaker 3: to get happy Charlotte fans into the show for the
- 2:05Speaker 3: first time, Bone. We got to get happy Wake fans in,
- 2:07Speaker 3: App fans. We got all kinds of stuff, not to
- 2:10Speaker 3: mention Tennessee fans.
- 2:13Speaker 4: Happy for now. Auburn fans. I think SEC fans are
- 2:17Speaker 4: all happy for now. It could change next week.
- 2:21Speaker 3: BYU fans, I don't know if we have any of them,
- 2:23Speaker 3: but you've got to be happy. Just chugging all the
- 2:25Speaker 3: milk in the world right now. Miami fans, you got
- 2:27Speaker 3: lucky as hell. Anyway, we've got all kinds of stuff
- 2:30Speaker 3: to talk about. Fitty, how pumped are you about the
- 2:32Speaker 3: Tar Heels beating the Blue Devils, man? Little Billy ringing
- 2:37Speaker 3: that victory bell. You must have cried tears of joy
- 2:40Speaker 3: watching that.
- 2:40Speaker 5: It was really cool seeing him, as I continue to say,
- 2:44Speaker 5: he looks more comfortable in his own skin doing the
- 2:46Speaker 5: college thing where you've got these rivalry games, you've got
- 2:49Speaker 5: these trophies, and he got to go ring the bell
- 2:52Speaker 5: and do so for his dad.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Mack, this team, I had them making a bowl game.
- 2:58Speaker 3: I picked them to make a bowl game.
- 3:01Speaker 5: I don't know if that was the expectation, but at 4-2, Mack,
- 3:05Speaker 5: the expectation is for them to win a bowl game,
- 3:07Speaker 5: and now you've got to wonder... I saw David Hale
- 3:10Speaker 5: tweeting about this. How high can they climb? Can this
- 3:14Speaker 5: team get to seven wins? Can they get to maybe
- 3:16Speaker 5: eight wins in the regular season?
- 3:18Speaker 3: Put together a winning record.
- 3:20Speaker 5: It was just validation of everything we were told in
- 3:23Speaker 5: the offseason. A group that's more together. A group that's
- 3:26Speaker 5: more committed. They play for one another. They love for
- 3:29Speaker 5: one another. We've got our issues, man. But Trino, I
- 3:32Speaker 5: do think, struggles to make adjustments in-game. Once the game
- 3:36Speaker 5: settles in and teams adjust to what we're doing, he
- 3:39Speaker 5: does feel like he's a step behind sometimes trying to
- 3:42Speaker 5: adjust to the opponent's adjustments.
- 3:45Speaker 3: I think he's only got so much artillery to play
- 3:47Speaker 3: with there. You know what I mean? Like, I think
- 3:49Speaker 3: we know Bobby Petrino can coach offense.
- 3:51Speaker 5: Yes.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Like, so I think it's just the quarterback's limited. The
- 3:55Speaker 3: run game is some timey. They did outrush Duke the
- 3:58Speaker 3: other day, and that was big. The receivers, there's a
- 4:00Speaker 3: couple that you can count on in Shipp and Thurman.
- 4:03Speaker 3: They also made a couple of huge mistakes. They handed
- 4:06Speaker 3: Duke two touchdowns. They did. The fumble by Shipp, I
- 4:09Speaker 3: love him, but fumble inside the 10 game.
- 4:11Speaker 4: What a first-class kid he is, by the way. Did
- 4:13Speaker 4: you see him on the sidelines? He didn't— He didn't
- 4:16Speaker 4: yell at anybody or get mad and throw something. He
- 4:18Speaker 4: patted his chest and went to everybody on the team
- 4:20Speaker 4: and said, my bad, my bad, my bad. That dude
- 4:22Speaker 4: is all class.
- 4:23Speaker 3: He's a good kid. I thought that play should have
- 4:24Speaker 3: been blown dead, by the way. They also had the, Fitty,
- 4:27Speaker 3: you also had the, although Duke did it too, but
- 4:28Speaker 3: you also muffed the fumble. Yep. Why did y'all have
- 4:31Speaker 3: a second punter in there? That guy should have been
- 4:33Speaker 3: punting all along. That was the expectation going into the year.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Should he? Because he can't catch. I believe I would
- 4:38Speaker 3: like my punter to be able to catch a snap. Yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 3: but our other punter can't kick. Okay. It doesn't seem
- 4:43Speaker 3: ideal for the funny situation. The catching seems a little
- 4:45Speaker 3: more important to me. I got to be honest with you.
- 4:48Speaker 3: But anyway.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Look, UNC's putting together a really good season. They're definitely
- 4:53Speaker 4: built more in the Belichick mold of the way that
- 4:57Speaker 4: he likes his team to play. We're talking about the
- 5:00Speaker 4: Panthers learning how to win. I think the way that
- 5:03Speaker 4: UNC lost to Clemson and they blew that lead, I
- 5:06Speaker 4: think they've learned from that. Duke had them pinned down
- 5:10Speaker 4: on that last drive before the McGill touchdown. It was
- 5:13Speaker 4: fourth down, and Billy Edwards made a play, and that's
- 5:16Speaker 4: when I started to realize, oh, this is not good.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Duke had an opportunity to end the game defensively. They
- 5:22Speaker 4: did not. They did a good job on Shepard. He
- 5:25Speaker 4: wasn't 100%, but he's out there, so no excuse, although
- 5:28Speaker 4: there was the possession in the first half when they
- 5:32Speaker 4: were on the goal line and they didn't use him,
- 5:34Speaker 4: which was kind of a telling of where he was
- 5:36Speaker 4: in the game, but he still had... a pretty good
- 5:38Speaker 4: day receiving at least. That's a huge win for the Heels,
- 5:42Speaker 4: not just for because it's a rival, but for the
- 5:45Speaker 4: season they're trying to have. And Duke's got a major
- 5:48Speaker 4: problem at quarterback right now. We knew that it would
- 5:50Speaker 4: be a step down, but Egad just can't make all
- 5:53Speaker 4: the throws. He misses so many throws in these games.
- 5:56Speaker 4: There's no touch on his passes. He had Burton to
- 6:00Speaker 4: start the second half wide open down the field on
- 6:04Speaker 4: a breakaway type play, and he just Completely underthrew it.
- 6:07Speaker 4: There were throws in the end zone where he's not
- 6:10Speaker 4: leading receivers. He's just throwing it up for grabs. He
- 6:13Speaker 4: gets a major problem for this team right now. I
- 6:15Speaker 4: don't disagree. Shepard can't get 250 yards every game here.
- 6:19Speaker 4: They need some help here at the quarterback spot. I mean,
- 6:22Speaker 4: what did he have, $ 1.
- 6:23Speaker 3: 75 total? He did. On a very off day, I thought.
- 6:26Speaker 3: And he's not fully physically right.
- 6:28Speaker 4: The explosion wasn't there in the game, but he still
- 6:30Speaker 4: had a good receiving day.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Let's see here. 704 number says the Heels are a
- 6:35Speaker 3: functioning football team. That is progress. This texter says, I
- 6:40Speaker 3: think the Heels have a shot at the ACC championship
- 6:44Speaker 3: game here in Charlotte. You with him, Finney, or is
- 6:46Speaker 3: that a little... That feels a little too far, but
- 6:48Speaker 3: I don't want to be Captain Killjoy on this Monday.
- 6:51Speaker 3: It feels a little too far.
- 6:52Speaker 5: Maybe if we wouldn't have developed Gio Lopez into an
- 6:55Speaker 5: NFL quarterback and sent him to Lake Forest, I could
- 6:57Speaker 5: maybe kind of beat my chest and try to evoke
- 7:00Speaker 5: that kind of confidence.
- 7:01Speaker 3: It's almost like maybe y'all should have found Rob Izzell
- 7:05Speaker 3: and brought him with Gio Lopez and ran that offense.
- 7:08Speaker 3: That's almost like what you should have done. I'll tell
- 7:10Speaker 3: you what this is starting to set up for, Mac.
- 7:12Speaker 5: And this is something that I've talked a lot about,
- 7:15Speaker 5: if Carolina continues on this upward ascension this year, they're
- 7:19Speaker 5: going to be a sexy place in the portal where
- 7:21Speaker 5: if the money is allocated and Belichick can keep the
- 7:25Speaker 5: staff kind of together in place, you'll get some of
- 7:28Speaker 5: these high-profile transfers want to come play here because they'll
- 7:32Speaker 5: be able to tell that the first year was just
- 7:34Speaker 5: a first-year adjustment. We've kind of kept the distractions off
- 7:38Speaker 5: the field to a minimum now that Lombardi and the typewriter.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Are gone from the program. Thank God he's gone, dude.
- 7:42Speaker 3: That's a black cloud.
- 7:43Speaker 5: It's setting up for 2027 to be the year that
- 7:46Speaker 5: Belichick was quietly behind the scenes pushing for them to
- 7:49Speaker 5: be their first compete year.
- 7:51Speaker 3: They're getting closer and closer to that.
- 7:53Speaker 4: They just got Lombardi's resignation letter because he had to
- 7:55Speaker 4: type it out and send it.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Took a bit. All right, let's get to more happy fans.
- 8:00Speaker 3: If you're pissed, too, like Notre Dame fans, if you
- 8:02Speaker 3: want to, like, whine about the refs, you are truly
- 8:04Speaker 3: justified to whine about the referees from the Big 12. 704-5709-610.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Pumped or pissed Monday. All right, so Wake fans, what's
- 8:13Speaker 3: up with this guy? This guy's getting aggressive. Joe in Huntersville. F-U-N-C.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Go Deacs. I thought Deke fans were everybody's friend. I
- 8:19Speaker 3: didn't think they came with that kind of energy. Not
- 8:20Speaker 3: this version of them. They are a nasty, naughty version
- 8:25Speaker 3: right now. Here's the thing about them. You mentioned Lopez's stats,
- 8:28Speaker 3: like 23 total tutties in one pick. He's like top
- 8:31Speaker 3: five in quarterback rating in the country. Like this dude
- 8:33Speaker 3: I said earlier should be top 10 Heisman list, at least.
- 8:37Speaker 3: um they're finding guys that are freshmen that you're like
- 8:41Speaker 3: that tight end bone that had 100 yards and three
- 8:43Speaker 3: touchdowns it's like where's this guy been cersei the running
- 8:47Speaker 3: back made a couple of big plays he's a freshman
- 8:50Speaker 3: they're getting better they're adding guys to the mix they
- 8:53Speaker 3: didn't even have carlos hernandez and they're up 34 nothing
- 8:55Speaker 3: at the half didn't even have their star receiver in
- 8:58Speaker 3: the game and their defense the way they were flying
- 9:00Speaker 3: to the football and breaking up and nine pass breakups Blades,
- 9:05Speaker 3: two big pass breakups. Their defense flies to the freaking football, too, man.
- 9:10Speaker 3: How good are they? Top 15 good. I will go
- 9:14Speaker 3: right there. And I don't know. Are they top 12 good? Legitimately.
- 9:20Speaker 4: They're going to end up in the top 10 because
- 9:22Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to lose again in the
- 9:23Speaker 4: regular season.
- 9:24Speaker 3: So can they.
- 9:25Speaker 4: They're 6-1 right now. Then they have a bye week
- 9:27Speaker 4: coming up this week. They host Virginia. That's a way... Remember,
- 9:32Speaker 4: this is not Wake just getting by. They are dominating teams.
- 9:36Speaker 4: They'll beat Virginia. Then it's Mary Mac who they have
- 9:39Speaker 4: on there, which, whatever reason... That's 8-1. At SMU, I
- 9:44Speaker 4: would think that, although that might be... That's going to
- 9:46Speaker 4: be a hell of a game. That seems like 9-1.
- 9:48Speaker 4: Then it's Georgia Tech and Duke. They're going to go... Yeah,
- 9:51Speaker 4: they're not going to lose the rest of the way.
- 9:52Speaker 4: They've got a great chance.
- 9:53Speaker 3: That SMU game feels like a hell of a football
- 9:56Speaker 3: game in Dallas. But they've got the opportunity. to keep
- 10:00Speaker 3: on winning. And if you put up, Steve, the thing
- 10:03Speaker 3: is the style points. You've got to have style points
- 10:06Speaker 3: when you're winning in the ACC. If not, the voters
- 10:09Speaker 3: are going to shrug and say, okay, let me find
- 10:11Speaker 3: those three lost SEC teams. They keep beating the breaks
- 10:14Speaker 3: off teams like this. Like you go to Cal, sleepy
- 10:17Speaker 3: Saturday night, late night. That's where teams have gone there
- 10:20Speaker 3: to struggle. Yeah. Cal, Virginia Tech just got beat out there.
- 10:23Speaker 3: They did. Cal beat Louisville and TSMU last year. So
- 10:26Speaker 3: that's a hell of a win. Tennessee fan Will says,
- 10:30Speaker 3: as a Tennessee fan, I was pleasantly surprised, in parentheses,
- 10:34Speaker 3: ecstatic that we beat Bama on Saturday. I knew our
- 10:37Speaker 3: defense was legit, but had been concerned about our offense.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Still have concerns on GMAC as QB, but I'll be
- 10:43Speaker 3: over the moon happy. If we can go to Columbia
- 10:46Speaker 3: and beat Bones' favorite team in the Gamecocks. These Vols
- 10:49Speaker 3: fans are ready for you, Bo.
- 10:51Speaker 4: We've seen in the SEC who you are one Saturday
- 10:54Speaker 4: means nothing for next Saturday. I actually love that Tennessee
- 10:58Speaker 4: had that win and what they're coming off of because
- 11:00Speaker 4: we've seen so many times, Mac, teams get the big win,
- 11:03Speaker 4: they go on the road, and they get humble. And
- 11:05Speaker 4: it feels like, to me, Tennessee going on the road,
- 11:08Speaker 4: playing a rested Gamecock team that's not feeling good about themselves.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Tennessee is not the favorite in this game, by the way.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Vegas has the Gamecocks as the favorite in this game.
- 11:17Speaker 4: What's that tell you? Oh, the Gamecocks are favorite? Yes,
- 11:20Speaker 4: they're favorite at home in this game. Yeah, I could
- 11:22Speaker 4: definitely see y'all win that game. There's no doubt about it.
- 11:25Speaker 3: The way things work in this crazy SEC, I could
- 11:29Speaker 3: totally see it.
- 11:29Speaker 4: The one thing I've always believed in and not wavered
- 11:31Speaker 4: on is this Gamecocks one.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Ha!
- 11:34Speaker 3: Bones back to face painting Homer, y'all. I'm feeling good.
- 11:38Speaker 3: It's amazing how good you feel when your team doesn't
- 11:40Speaker 3: play again. Tennessee Jed said, Vols, I'm pumped. He says
- 11:45Speaker 3: game at South Carolina will be tough, though. So he
- 11:47Speaker 3: is giving you some more respect than these other Vols fans.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Matty FC on a pumped or pissed Monday gets to
- 11:53Speaker 3: be a pumped or pissed Niner alum. How about that?
- 11:56Speaker 3: Happy not to cheer or root for covering the spread.
- 11:59Speaker 3: They went out there and put up 31 points in
- 12:02Speaker 3: the second half. beat Temple 38-31. Goal line stand at
- 12:07Speaker 3: the end of the first half after they fumbled bone
- 12:09Speaker 3: inside their own 10 was mammoth. Connor Harrell, the move
- 12:12Speaker 3: to get Connor Harrell in there now that he's healthy
- 12:15Speaker 3: is paying dividends. How about Henry Rutledge? Good for this kid.
- 12:18Speaker 3: This kid has been injury ravaged. over the last few
- 12:21Speaker 3: years at Charlotte. He survived the Biff years. The fact
- 12:25Speaker 3: that he's still there, Boney, you know what I mean?
- 12:28Speaker 3: He's still there. He's still playing football, 123 yards rushing.
- 12:32Speaker 3: They've turned him into their feature back. They had four
- 12:35Speaker 3: players catch passes at 21 yards or more. Harrell got
- 12:38Speaker 3: it downfield but didn't turn it over. I mean, there's
- 12:41Speaker 3: some progress there and just winning. The Niners needed it, Bone.
- 12:45Speaker 3: Tim Albin, I feel good for Tim Albin, too, because
- 12:48Speaker 3: you know he's done some good coaching in his life,
- 12:50Speaker 3: and he's got to be, I mean, I would say
- 12:52Speaker 3: pulling his hair out. I was going to say pulling
- 12:54Speaker 3: his hair out, but that doesn't work really for Timmy. But, like,
- 12:57Speaker 3: I'm just relieved for him. I hope there's more where
- 12:59Speaker 3: that came from. But at the very least, y'all contributed
- 13:02Speaker 3: to an unbeaten Charlotte sports team weekend in Philadelphia. I
- 13:06Speaker 3: love it.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Just that fan base getting to enjoy a win and
- 13:09Speaker 4: talk about something other than and how bad they're beating.
- 13:12Speaker 4: So I feel so happy for Niner Nation this morning.
- 13:15Speaker 4: This dude says.
- 13:18Speaker 3: That is a loyal fan base to that team, and
- 13:20Speaker 3: yet they never have anything to celebrate, really, in either
- 13:23Speaker 3: basketball or football. I know, man.
- 13:24Speaker 4: But I do feel like times, especially basketball... are changing,
- 13:28Speaker 4: but they need the football to get some more of those.
- 13:30Speaker 3: You got Wes Miller, and you got a football win, baby.
- 13:32Speaker 3: So you feel good about that, Niner fans. We do
- 13:35Speaker 3: have to play the clip. There's a Miami fan that's
- 13:38Speaker 3: mad at me as well. I got to deal with Bone.
- 13:41Speaker 3: The clip of KC Keeler, who I just found out
- 13:44Speaker 3: Saturday who he is. I thought he was the famous
- 13:47Speaker 3: DJ that also was the voice of... The voice on
- 13:52Speaker 3: Scooby-Doo also.
- 13:53Speaker 4: I thought you were going to say you.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Thought he was a lead singer of KC and the
- 13:59Speaker 3: Sunshine Band. That's what I thought you were going to say.
- 14:01Speaker 3: KC Keeler is the temple coach. Listen to this sour
- 14:04Speaker 3: grapes after. This is what happens when you lose to
- 14:08Speaker 3: the Charlotte 49ers. You get down real bad. I've coached
- 14:10Speaker 3: over 400 games.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Without a coach.
- 14:16Speaker 7: And that was the single most embarrassing game.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I've ever been involved with. I saw one side of my.
- 14:23Speaker 8: Operation fight like hell every inch, every play, every second.
- 14:30Speaker 7: And I saw the other side just undisciplined, just not
- 14:37Speaker 7: with the.
- 14:37Speaker 6: Same care factor, poor leadership.
- 14:43Speaker 7: And so as I told them, I said, it's a
- 14:45Speaker 7: It's a privilege to play on this technical football team.
- 14:48Speaker 3: It's not your right.
- 14:49Speaker 1: And I'm going to leave it for coaches after this.
- 14:54Speaker 7: There will be some changes made.
- 14:56Speaker 3: That's a loud room. Is he in a wind tunnel
- 14:57Speaker 3: doing that? I apologize if y'all couldn't hear that. The
- 15:01Speaker 3: first part was hard to hear. Walking into traffic, apparently.
- 15:03Speaker 3: It was very weird. It sounded better to me before
- 15:06Speaker 3: the show. Here's the money part. He started his press
- 15:10Speaker 3: conference by saying, I have coached 400 football games. That
- 15:14Speaker 3: is the most embarrassing game I have ever been a
- 15:16Speaker 3: part of. How about a little credit to Charlotte? And also,
- 15:20Speaker 3: you're the Temple head coach. You've seen a lot of
- 15:22Speaker 3: bad things. It's not exactly like you're, you know, you're
- 15:24Speaker 3: not exactly a powerhouse. This dude acting like he's Kurt
- 15:26Speaker 3: Cignetti or something, who, by the way, lost in a devastating...
- 15:30Speaker 3: I mean, how many teams that are real good lost
- 15:33Speaker 3: in devastating fashion? So maybe I shouldn't give Miami a
- 15:36Speaker 3: hard time. It was gut-punched Saturday. I mean, Nick Marsh
- 15:39Speaker 3: not getting his feet down. Notre Dame. And we'll talk
- 15:42Speaker 3: about these more. We're going to do college football conclusions
- 15:44Speaker 3: at 9, but we'll get way into, like, all the fives.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Five teams in a top seven at loss. All that stuff. But, like,
- 15:53Speaker 3: Notre Dame... I turned off the TV. I watched Wake
- 15:57Speaker 3: a little bit after the game, but I turned off
- 15:59Speaker 3: the TV thinking, yeah, Notre Dame got screwed. That's the
- 16:01Speaker 3: second straight ABC primetime game where there was blatant pass
- 16:04Speaker 3: interference in the end zone and didn't get called. Little
- 16:07Speaker 3: did I know, Bone, I didn't even notice. I don't
- 16:10Speaker 3: know if it was the IPAs.
- 16:11Speaker 1: I don't know why.
- 16:12Speaker 3: I didn't notice there was one second left on the clock.
- 16:15Speaker 3: So I wake up in the morning to a text
- 16:17Speaker 3: from Smoke, angry Notre Dame fan, That the Big 12
- 16:22Speaker 3: admitted that their replay people should have put the one
- 16:25Speaker 3: second back on the clock and told all the happy
- 16:29Speaker 3: Mormons to get off the football field. They got double screwed, dude.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Then Bear Bachmeier comes out and cryptically says... He didn't
- 16:37Speaker 4: like the way his family was treated by Notre Dame.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Should we play it? Without a whole lot of info
- 16:42Speaker 4: on what exactly occurred there. Should we play it here?
- 16:44Speaker 4: You don't want to mess with a guy named Bear.
- 16:46Speaker 4: The Bear H-O, man. I guess we got to play
- 16:48Speaker 4: it here, Bone. This is a BYU quarterback who had
- 16:51Speaker 4: four touchdowns. He is one of the most unique quarterbacks
- 16:56Speaker 4: I've ever seen between the body and No.
- 16:58Speaker 3: 47. One of the most unique quarterbacks. How about the
- 17:01Speaker 3: double pass play they called? That was brilliant. Ballsy and
- 17:04Speaker 3: brilliant for a touchdown. But this is what you're talking
- 17:08Speaker 3: about here.
- 17:09Speaker 6: Kalani won't like this because I'm talking about myself, but
- 17:13Speaker 6: out of high school, Notre Dame disrespected me and my
- 17:16Speaker 6: family pretty badly, and I wasn't going to lose to
- 17:20Speaker 6: those guys. There was no way I was going to
- 17:22Speaker 6: lose to those guys tonight.
- 17:25Speaker 7: What happened?
- 17:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I shouldn't have said that, but there were some
- 17:31Speaker 6: receipts kept, and, man, I'm glad we won.
- 17:35Speaker 3: And all of America is like, tell me more. What
- 17:38Speaker 3: did they do to disrespect your family? Hey, don't be
- 17:41Speaker 3: a good BYU kid. Give us a T here.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Well, he knew afterwards I shouldn't have gone there. You
- 17:47Speaker 4: know what it could be also when C.J. Carr goes pro.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Notre Dame goes into the portal. They might need Barry Bachmeier.
- 17:54Speaker 4: I was going to say, he's going to be back
- 17:55Speaker 4: there next year, right?
- 17:56Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.
- 17:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Like, I don't see him going to the NFL. I
- 17:59Speaker 3: think he's going to be back there. They play Notre
- 18:01Speaker 3: Dame next year. They have the return game in South
- 18:04Speaker 3: Bend next year. So that could be awful juicy right there.
- 18:07Speaker 3: But like, yeah, what could they have done? I mean,
- 18:11Speaker 3: Robert Griffin told us that Bayer and his family eat
- 18:13Speaker 3: dinner naked. So I don't know, Boat, if they showed
- 18:16Speaker 3: up and the family was naked and Marcus Freeman walked
- 18:18Speaker 3: out of the room. I don't know. I'm very curious.
- 18:20Speaker 4: How do you disrespect a family that dines naked together?
- 18:25Speaker 4: Did they not show up naked for the recruiting trip?
- 18:27Speaker 4: All right, we come back. Pulse of Panther Nation. How
- 18:30Speaker 4: pumped should we be about the penalty flag-laden victory yesterday?
- 18:35Speaker 4: And what did Bryce prove yesterday? 704-5709-610. Get in now
- 18:40Speaker 4: for the Pants of Pants. The Pulse of Panther Nation,
- 18:46Speaker 4: not the Pulse of Pants Nation. Sports Radio 92.7.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Please, please go. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone
- 19:19Speaker 3: with you as we get ready to get this thing
- 19:22Speaker 3: back to the Panthers. It was a fun college football weekend,
- 19:25Speaker 3: at least if you're on the winning side of that
- 19:27Speaker 3: amazing week. And at 9 o'clock, we'll get back into
- 19:30Speaker 3: the craziness of the national scene. I will deal with
- 19:34Speaker 3: the Miami fan that got mad at me. All that stuff.
- 19:37Speaker 3: I mean, Florida State did get a little screwed there late.
- 19:39Speaker 3: But anyway.
- 19:40Speaker 4: You talk about backing your way to number one, though.
- 19:42Speaker 4: I mean, at one, that matters. But they are now
- 19:45Speaker 4: number one. But even they are lucky that they beat
- 19:49Speaker 4: Florida State.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Yeah. that was crazy. And the refs got involved, too.
- 19:52Speaker 3: That's all I'm talking about. But anyway, let's get to
- 19:54Speaker 3: the Panthers right now. I am hoping, Bone, that we
- 19:57Speaker 3: get y'all jumping in here on Pulse of Panther Nation.
- 20:00Speaker 3: You can text as well. This is about your reaction.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Lord knows we yap every day, all day, especially me.
- 20:06Speaker 3: But like Panther fans, can you see the beauty of
- 20:08Speaker 3: the ugly win? Can you see the beauty of the
- 20:11Speaker 3: fact that we have 13 penalties for 149 yards? That
- 20:15Speaker 3: it was the type of game that in the past,
- 20:16Speaker 3: a couple of texters said it, last year, this texter said, Canales,
- 20:20Speaker 3: this first year we don't win that game. There are
- 20:22Speaker 3: plenty of seasons in the past, Bone, where maybe we
- 20:24Speaker 3: mess around and the penalties keep us from winning the game. So, like,
- 20:28Speaker 3: can we acknowledge that and feel good about the win?
- 20:31Speaker 3: I also want you to give some love to some
- 20:34Speaker 3: of the dudes that made plays. I thought there were
- 20:35Speaker 3: a lot of unsung guys that made plays. Okereke is
- 20:39Speaker 3: the linebacker, a new linebacker we don't talk about the most.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Tommy Tremble and Chuma Hubbard are two guys that don't
- 20:45Speaker 3: get loved on, you know, the most. And they went
- 20:49Speaker 3: out there and all made plays for us. Bryce Young
- 20:52Speaker 3: continues to prove he has to be paid. It's only
- 20:55Speaker 3: a matter of time, Bo, and he'll, he gets a contract.
- 20:58Speaker 3: If that's his off game, that, that's a, that is
- 21:01Speaker 3: a great quarterback's off game. That is how the, the,
- 21:05Speaker 3: and listen, there are great quarterbacks that play legit bad games,
- 21:08Speaker 3: but that is what you see sometimes when you see
- 21:11Speaker 3: an ugly stat line, like a stat line that's, you know,
- 21:14Speaker 3: not behooving of a Mahomes or an Allen or someone
- 21:16Speaker 3: like that. And they find a way to win a
- 21:18Speaker 3: football game. Bryce's ugly stat lines before bone were 54
- 21:22Speaker 3: yards passing against the Seattle Seahawks. Now it's two 81,
- 21:25Speaker 3: two tutties and no picks like that's freaking exciting. This
- 21:28Speaker 3: team has potential to keep growing too. They're just getting
- 21:31Speaker 3: guys back. Like I find myself extremely excited. Falcons lose
- 21:36Speaker 3: two teams in the division. Lose I hope we get
- 21:40Speaker 3: excitement on the phone lines from Panther Nation. We better.
- 21:44Speaker 3: We better. We're also going to have to deal this
- 21:47Speaker 3: segment with the handful of people that have tried to
- 21:51Speaker 3: nitpick the win as well. Because I know Fitty wants
- 21:54Speaker 3: to scream at him because Fitty was screaming at them
- 21:56Speaker 3: off the air earlier during the show. So jump in here.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Pulse of Panther Nation. Does the ugly win make you
- 22:03Speaker 3: feel good or are you going to be one of
- 22:06Speaker 3: the nitpicky fans? We're going to talk about it. 704-570-9610.
- 22:10Speaker 3: At least send in your text. You can't make the call.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Send in your text. We're going to read those babies.
- 22:16Speaker 3: All right. Right now, our victorious pep talker bone is
- 22:19Speaker 3: going to start us off. Our man B.P., From the HB,
- 22:24Speaker 3: got it done. He's 2-0 as a Friday pep talker. HB,
- 22:28Speaker 3: how you feeling today? Or BP? You got it, Max. Woo! Yeah!
- 22:39Speaker 2: Hey, a win is a win.
- 22:42Speaker 3: It's a win. Damn straight.
- 22:44Speaker 2: It could be ugly, but guess what?
- 22:46Speaker 3: We came in first place.
- 22:48Speaker 2: We only solidified that position.
- 22:50Speaker 3: There's something in the air. The guest ticker is here, 2-0.
- 22:54Speaker 2: We play Tampa at home next week.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Can we make it.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Three in a row, boys?
- 22:58Speaker 3: Please. We've got to give some boys love.
- 23:01Speaker 2: I hear different names tremble. Some of the others, Will
- 23:06Speaker 2: Lee with the moon effect.
- 23:08Speaker 3: People are forgetting about Charlotte's number one man, J.J.
- 23:13Speaker 7: Jansen.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Congrats on making history, baby.
- 23:16Speaker 4: Damn straight. 282 straight games, man. That is beautiful. And
- 23:20Speaker 4: the fact they didn't stop the game and acknowledge him
- 23:23Speaker 4: was disrespectful.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Disrespectful. We made him pay, though, Bo. Made him pay.
- 23:26Speaker 3: I said, we do it this week, boys.
- 23:28Speaker 2: We're back home.
- 23:29Speaker 3: J.J.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Needs some sort of acknowledgement.
- 23:31Speaker 3: He does.
- 23:31Speaker 4: I also thought J.J. was hurt at one point yesterday,
- 23:34Speaker 4: but it was Thomas Inkoom that was hurt. I thought
- 23:36Speaker 4: I couldn't really see who it was, and I saw
- 23:39Speaker 4: a four, and I thought, oh, my God, is J.J.
- 23:41Speaker 6: Down?
- 23:41Speaker 3: He's grabbing the back of his leg. I thought, oh, no. J.J.
- 23:44Speaker 3: 's good to go, baby. He was there getting celebrated
- 23:46Speaker 3: in the locker room afterwards. He doesn't need both legs either,
- 23:49Speaker 3: so he's all right.
- 23:50Speaker 2: You know who else deserves some love is Cuba going
- 23:53Speaker 2: over 100, 120. And my goodness, he killed Nolan Smith yesterday.
- 23:57Speaker 5: Bryce is over there with his hands praying for the man.
- 24:00Speaker 8: Taylor Moten came back, balled out.
- 24:02Speaker 2: You know, he's right there looking at him. Everybody's worried.
- 24:04Speaker 2: But the man that killed the guy there was Cuba.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Keep doing what you're doing. Love it. So physical. BP,
- 24:10Speaker 3: you the man, baby. Keep getting it done, and we
- 24:12Speaker 3: will hear from you on Friday now that you're 2-0
- 24:15Speaker 3: with the pep talks. Weatherman Mark, I'm sorry, baby. That's right, boy.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Real quick. Let's go. Keep pounding. Let's go. Let's go.
- 24:22Speaker 3: There we go, man. I don't know how a man
- 24:24Speaker 3: from California bone, Huntington Beach, is that fired up by
- 24:26Speaker 3: the Panthers, but I love that man. I love that man.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Usually he's chill eating his avocado toast. You said Weatherman Mark.
- 24:33Speaker 3: I heard him on the postgame show with Willie yesterday.
- 24:36Speaker 3: And he was very happy. You said weatherman Mark Bone Man?
- 24:40Speaker 4: Yeah, he was complaining about the defense in the second half.
- 24:43Speaker 9: The defense!
- 24:44Speaker 3: They gave up like 227 yards or something.
- 24:46Speaker 4: He said it was just that one possession, though, what
- 24:49Speaker 4: I said. This is your complaint, and Granny Pat was
- 24:51Speaker 4: not happy with Bryce Young yesterday.
- 24:53Speaker 3: By the way, Mac. He's on hold right now, by
- 24:55Speaker 3: the way. The current pace for Bryce Young is.
- 24:59Speaker 4: 17-game pace, 5,267 yards, fell off his pace, 37 touchdowns
- 25:07Speaker 4: and seven INTs.
- 25:08Speaker 3: My God, what a start to the season, baby. Unbelievable.
- 25:11Speaker 3: I'm a little worried, Mac, he fell off his yard pace.
- 25:12Speaker 3: You concerned about it? You're going to have to make
- 25:14Speaker 3: up for it against Tampa. And, dude, we can finish Tampa.
- 25:17Speaker 3: If Tampa's not done already at 5-1 or 1-5, which
- 25:20Speaker 3: they probably are, we're putting the final nail in the
- 25:23Speaker 3: coffin on Sunday if we can win, dude. We're calling
- 25:25Speaker 3: this Walk the Plank Week. All right, let's go. go
- 25:27Speaker 3: back i don't know if anyone else is but i
- 25:32Speaker 3: am 704-570-9610 panther nation what are you pumped about with
- 25:35Speaker 3: that win and um uh please tell me you can
- 25:39Speaker 3: appreciate an ugly win where in the past it very
- 25:43Speaker 3: well might have been an ugly loss all right let's
- 25:45Speaker 3: get weatherman in here whether to see if weatherman's happier
- 25:47Speaker 3: now weatherman you happy now.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Oh, man, I'm ecstatic. We went up there and kicked
- 25:54Speaker 2: some Philadelphia Eagles. We shot them out of the air, man. Yeah,
- 25:59Speaker 2: everything didn't go our way, the penalties, but that's football, man.
- 26:04Speaker 2: That is freaking football, and it was a nasty, draw-out, drag-your-rear-in,
- 26:11Speaker 2: all-around game, but we kicked their butts, man, and the
- 26:15Speaker 2: Bucs are next. And I want to give a shout-out
- 26:18Speaker 2: to my fans. I love J.J. Jansen, man. I want
- 26:21Speaker 2: to give a congratulations to him on so many games played.
- 26:25Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite Panthers players, man.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Damn straight.
- 26:29Speaker 2: He is just freaking awesome personality. He's got one of
- 26:33Speaker 2: the best sense of humors I think I have ever heard,
- 26:37Speaker 2: Mac and Bone.
- 26:39Speaker 5: That's true.
- 26:39Speaker 2: But I love you guys, man. We did it. We
- 26:42Speaker 2: went up there in the Philly. And we feel good
- 26:47Speaker 2: after Philly.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Why were you complaining about the defense yesterday, though? Is
- 26:51Speaker 3: everything all right?
- 26:53Speaker 2: We come back home. We're going to kick some. We're
- 26:55Speaker 2: going to get the butt.
- 26:56Speaker 3: We're getting the butt. Mark, are you ignoring Bo? What's
- 27:00Speaker 3: wrong with the defense?
- 27:02Speaker 2: Oh, I was upset about that play, man. You know,
- 27:08Speaker 2: they got out in the end zone and got open.
- 27:11Speaker 3: It's all good, baby. Marky, it's all good. You're an
- 27:14Speaker 3: emotional man. You're a one-man emotional roller coaster, baby. We
- 27:17Speaker 3: appreciate the color. I love that, man.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I'm a glasses half full load now. Don't forget that.
- 27:22Speaker 7: You are, man.
- 27:23Speaker 3: You're always Mr. Positive, except during the games.
- 27:25Speaker 2: I'm not negative.
- 27:26Speaker 3: No, you're not.
- 27:26Speaker 6: All right, Marky.
- 27:27Speaker 3: You're never negative. You're his vet man, Mo. I'm never negative. Unfortunately,
- 27:32Speaker 3: you have the gig of being his vet man.
- 27:34Speaker 4: You know what I mean? For better or worse. I
- 27:36Speaker 4: get so confused on where we're at with him.
- 27:39Speaker 3: I know when he was mad, because it was when
- 27:41Speaker 3: all of Panther Nation was like, Averro, you've been blitzing
- 27:44Speaker 3: this dude's hiney off all game. Now all of a
- 27:47Speaker 3: sudden we get a double-digit lead, and you are easing
- 27:50Speaker 3: off the blitz button, and you're playing soft zone. I
- 27:53Speaker 3: know exactly when. And they scored on that drive, and
- 27:56Speaker 3: if you notice, Averro went right back. Direct.
- 27:58Speaker 4: The reason I got confused, that was the only text
- 28:00Speaker 4: I got from Mark all week. It wasn't like there
- 28:03Speaker 4: was a series of texts leading up to that. That's
- 28:06Speaker 4: why I said, that's your only takeaway? That's the only
- 28:08Speaker 4: thing he said. That's why I was like, what are
- 28:10Speaker 4: we doing here? No, I'm not inviting more. I'm just
- 28:13Speaker 4: saying that's all that was said there. This dude said
- 28:16Speaker 4: Chuba was beating people's rear ends.
- 28:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look. BP brought up the blitz pickup
- 28:22Speaker 3: where he knocked out Nolan Smith for the game. And
- 28:24Speaker 3: then Bryce Young, BP brought up Bryce Young. Bryce Young
- 28:27Speaker 3: proved that he is the nicest quarterback ever to play
- 28:30Speaker 3: in the National Football League. And I'm including Tim Tebow
- 28:32Speaker 3: in that. Immediately bowing his head and looking like he's
- 28:35Speaker 3: praying for Nolan Smith. I mean, this dude is praying
- 28:38Speaker 3: for you. This dude is beating your butt, and he
- 28:41Speaker 3: is so nice about it. He's praying for you afterwards. Yeah,
- 28:43Speaker 3: it's going to drive you crazy. No doubt about it.
- 28:45Speaker 4: Someone says, JJ, get your dad off the text line
- 28:48Speaker 4: or off the phone lines.
- 28:49Speaker 6: 704-5709-610.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Jump in here on the phone lines or text. If
- 28:54Speaker 3: you have thoughts on the game, it was a physical
- 28:57Speaker 3: performance from us in the second half, though. When they
- 28:59Speaker 3: finally committed to the run, Chuba running through, tackles, Tommy Tremble,
- 29:05Speaker 3: Mitchell Evans, and the O-line with some of the run blocking, man.
- 29:09Speaker 3: um tommy tremble fighting for extra yards some of the
- 29:12Speaker 3: defensive plays bone and will lee like even the touchdown
- 29:17Speaker 3: will lee gave up i thought he was right there
- 29:19Speaker 3: i thought it was pretty good coverage didn't get his
- 29:20Speaker 3: head around and get his hand up quick enough but
- 29:22Speaker 3: i thought he did an amazing job and you could
- 29:24Speaker 3: see we had a texter say that that will lee
- 29:27Speaker 3: reminds them of josh norman obviously the number 24 has
- 29:31Speaker 3: a lot to do with it but he has that
- 29:33Speaker 3: attitude about him Like I just, I think we, Ross
- 29:36Speaker 3: Tucker said during the game, I think we have a
- 29:38Speaker 3: baller in the blanket. and I don't say this as
- 29:41Speaker 3: any ill will towards Mike Jackson, but the best teams
- 29:44Speaker 3: bone have to make hard decisions and the best teams
- 29:48Speaker 3: have a guy in reserve where it's like, okay, I
- 29:50Speaker 3: can get you to play on a rookie contract and
- 29:52Speaker 3: maybe I got to let someone walk. I watch Willie
- 29:55Speaker 3: and I, I, I very much wonder if it's him
- 29:58Speaker 3: and JC horn next year. as a two-starting club. Very
- 30:00Speaker 3: well could be. For this football team. When we come back,
- 30:03Speaker 3: it's Sounds of the Panthers.
- 30:04Speaker 4: We have Tremble talking about the Rocky celebration, the Canales
- 30:09Speaker 4: victory speech.
- 30:10Speaker 3: You get a speech.
- 30:11Speaker 4: And Timo on his emotional return. Sounds of the Panthers
- 30:15Speaker 4: next on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 30:41Speaker 7: You know, I grew up on that movie all the time.
- 30:44Speaker 7: Me and my pops used to watch it all the time.
- 30:46Speaker 7: And I remember we visited Philly for the first time
- 30:48Speaker 7: when I was in high school. I was doing a
- 30:51Speaker 7: visit here in college. And then I remember he used
- 30:54Speaker 7: to play for Philly back in the day. So it
- 30:55Speaker 7: was cool seeing it from the outside, seeing the steps
- 30:57Speaker 7: that Rocky was on. And so coming up with it
- 30:59Speaker 7: last minute, I told Jalen, if you score, if I score,
- 31:02Speaker 7: let's just do it. And it ended up being me.
- 31:04Speaker 1: So it was fun.
- 31:05Speaker 3: There you go. That is Tommy Tramble talking about the
- 31:08Speaker 3: Rocky celebration, the Philly inspiration for Rocky celebration. I very
- 31:13Speaker 3: much relate to him there because that is a movie
- 31:18Speaker 3: that was my dad's absolute favorite was Rocky, the original
- 31:22Speaker 3: and then the subsequent movies. And that is a movie
- 31:24Speaker 3: that he and I watched a lot together. I got
- 31:26Speaker 3: my love over the Rocky movies from my dad. And
- 31:31Speaker 3: so I can relate to that. The acting that was
- 31:34Speaker 3: done by Jalen Cokerbone selling the punches and selling the
- 31:39Speaker 3: uppercut knockout was absolutely amazing.
- 31:42Speaker 4: That deserves a shout out as well. You know how
- 31:44Speaker 4: back some some. actors really get into their parts and
- 31:49Speaker 4: they become that. I feel like Jalen Coker, Mac, had
- 31:52Speaker 4: that one worked out way in advance. Daniel Day-Lewis will
- 31:55Speaker 4: get into his characters or Tom Cruise will do that
- 31:58Speaker 4: as well. I thought Jalen Coker became the knockout victim
- 32:03Speaker 4: in that moment. He prepared his life for that moment.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Well, the crazy thing is, unless he's just been punched
- 32:08Speaker 3: out a lot, I don't know. Crazy thing is, Timberlake
- 32:11Speaker 3: will tell you, 10 minutes for the game, just stand
- 32:13Speaker 3: there on the sideline. That's when the plan was hatched.
- 32:15Speaker 3: And the plan was, you heard what he said, whoever
- 32:19Speaker 3: out of the two of them caught a touchdown, I
- 32:21Speaker 3: get the, well, I guess he didn't say this. My
- 32:23Speaker 3: guess is whoever got the touchdown got to be Rocky
- 32:27Speaker 3: with the knockout. Yeah. I get that. I feel like
- 32:29Speaker 3: that was, so like, I feel like if Coker did it,
- 32:33Speaker 3: he probably would have been the one. So yeah, they
- 32:34Speaker 3: had to be versatile. They had to be able to
- 32:36Speaker 3: be the puncher.
- 32:36Speaker 4: I mean, Coker sold that better than some pro wrestlers
- 32:40Speaker 4: do these days.
- 32:41Speaker 3: Yeah. He sold that so well, I wonder if he
- 32:44Speaker 3: plays soccer. I think he might be a former soccer
- 32:47Speaker 3: player as well. Just like Sam Martinbone, who sold the
- 32:52Speaker 3: running into the kicker penalty in the first half. Sure enough,
- 32:55Speaker 3: soccer player. 704-570-9610. All right, let's give you some sounds
- 33:01Speaker 3: of the Panthers from yesterday. Very much better than Taylor
- 33:05Speaker 3: Moten playing a real solid Taylor Moten-esque football game yesterday.
- 33:09Speaker 3: after being outboned with the scary blood clot issue. And yesterday,
- 33:14Speaker 3: Timo did admit he was emotional being back on the field.
- 33:18Speaker 10: Yeah, it was a real moment at first, you know,
- 33:20Speaker 10: when I go out there, I'm like, man, I'm really,
- 33:22Speaker 10: you know, back in action because, you know, it's different
- 33:24Speaker 10: when you're on the sidelines, right, the first quarter of
- 33:27Speaker 10: the season. Yeah, so it was really emotional. It was
- 33:32Speaker 10: just going through what I just kept running over visualizing
- 33:36Speaker 10: how the game's going to go, right, all my different blocks,
- 33:39Speaker 10: pass sets, what have you. But, you know, when we
- 33:42Speaker 10: finally got out there and took the field, it was like, wow,
- 33:44Speaker 10: you know, I'm really back out here.
- 33:45Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, Timo.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 6: Happy birthday, Timo.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Oh, happy birthday.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Every day with Jalen is my birthday. Every day with
- 33:53Speaker 3: Jalen is my birthday. I love Vashti, but she does
- 33:58Speaker 3: fall for Jalen Phillips saying happy birthday, Timo, after Canales
- 34:01Speaker 3: just told everybody last week about the bit. I think
- 34:05Speaker 3: she's in on it now. She fell for it because
- 34:07Speaker 3: she said, oh, yeah, that's right. I'm sorry.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:12Speaker 3: She fell for the bit. It is hard not to, though.
- 34:16Speaker 3: It seems genuine, right? Timo just played this game. It's
- 34:19Speaker 3: a feel-good story. Oh, it's his birthday, too. Oh, no,
- 34:22Speaker 3: that's right. Canales told us they keep saying happy birthday.
- 34:24Speaker 4: I hope as part of the bit they ignore him
- 34:26Speaker 4: on his actual birthday, which is in August, by the way.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Oh, my God. That's hilarious. I don't know. Now, I'm
- 34:34Speaker 3: not going to lie to you. The first half of
- 34:35Speaker 3: this game, I was screaming at my TV. I was
- 34:37Speaker 3: losing my mind over the penalties. It was extremely frustrating
- 34:41Speaker 3: because it felt like if you just don't keep shooting
- 34:43Speaker 3: yourself in the foot, you can pull away from this team,
- 34:45Speaker 3: this just beaten battered mass unit of a team. But
- 34:49Speaker 3: I do find this team frustrating. to be likable in
- 34:52Speaker 3: so many ways. There's so many likable dudes on this
- 34:54Speaker 3: damn team. Do you think he gets free cake at
- 34:56Speaker 3: restaurants every day if it's his birthday?
- 34:59Speaker 4: I don't think he goes with it. Now, if he's
- 35:01Speaker 4: there with a teammate. Could he afford the normal stuff
- 35:05Speaker 4: at Chili's? Getting a free cake would be a big
- 35:06Speaker 4: deal for a guy like T-Mobile.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like his teammates are the type of
- 35:09Speaker 3: guys that would tell the waitress, like go out of
- 35:12Speaker 3: their way to go tell the waitress, oh, it's my
- 35:14Speaker 3: buddy's birthday. Maybe they do that. That might be part
- 35:15Speaker 3: of the gig. That's what I'm saying. They seem like
- 35:17Speaker 3: they would, hey, it's my buddy's birthday.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:19Speaker 3: Everybody knows that sort of person that will like my
- 35:22Speaker 3: wife like is mortified if I she begs me not
- 35:26Speaker 3: to tell the restaurant it's her birthday. You would figure
- 35:28Speaker 3: most people want a free piece of cake. She is
- 35:30Speaker 3: so like not wanting this is kind of funny and
- 35:32Speaker 3: she's married to me. She does not want the attention.
- 35:35Speaker 3: So she does not want happy birthday sung to her
- 35:38Speaker 3: to where everybody in the restaurant is looking.
- 35:40Speaker 4: I kind of get it because I want the dessert,
- 35:42Speaker 4: but I also don't, I don't know what to do
- 35:45Speaker 4: when the restaurants, where do I look?
- 35:47Speaker 3: What do I do? I don't know.
- 35:48Speaker 4: I don't know how to act when they're all singing
- 35:50Speaker 4: to me and I'm just sitting there. I don't know
- 35:52Speaker 4: what to do. God, I want people to sing to me.
- 35:54Speaker 4: I want people to serenade me every day. You're putting
- 35:56Speaker 4: that cake on like it's war paint.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Yeah. Isn't your birthday coming up, Matt? Yes, week from today.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Week from today. Maybe y'all could serenade me. Maybe you
- 36:05Speaker 3: could sing.
- 36:10Speaker 6: 704-570-9610.
- 36:10Speaker 3: If you want to jump in here on the show,
- 36:14Speaker 3: let's see. All right, let's get to it. This is
- 36:16Speaker 3: the sound of all sounds of the Panthers. The victory speech. Now,
- 36:19Speaker 3: the Panthers shared like 220 of this victory speech. They're
- 36:23Speaker 3: giving us more and more. Makes me wonder about how
- 36:25Speaker 3: long these go on for after wins. But I just
- 36:28Speaker 3: love Dave Canales emphatically and enthusiastically giving love to everybody
- 36:34Speaker 3: that made a play. So this is a sample of
- 36:37Speaker 3: yesterday's Philly victory speech. A full team win.
- 36:42Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Special teams, right?
- 36:45Speaker 8: Showing up, big hit, the block punt.
- 36:48Speaker 3: Offense finishing on drive.
- 36:50Speaker 8: Finishing 7-43, longest drive of the season for us right there.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Okay, how much are defense guys?
- 36:55Speaker 1: Defense! Yeah!
- 36:58Speaker 8: Back-to-back games, less than 50 yards rushing.
- 37:05Speaker 3: We got some records in the building. How about J.J.
- 37:10Speaker 8: Jetson right there?
- 37:11Speaker 1: Yeah!
- 37:15Speaker 6: Go, JJ!
- 37:17Speaker 1: Go, JJ!
- 37:18Speaker 9: Okay.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Hey.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Don't know.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Now, we got to do this twice because Tommy got
- 37:22Speaker 3: a touchdown!
- 37:23Speaker 6: Yeah!
- 37:24Speaker 3: Tommy got another touchdown! Yeah!
- 37:29Speaker 2: Thank you, guys.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 37:31Speaker 4: Okay.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Here we go. You're quarterback, right?
- 37:34Speaker 8: First player in team history.
- 37:35Speaker 3: 225 and a touchdown in the first five games.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 37:40Speaker 6: That sounds in the first five games.
- 37:44Speaker 1: That's a record.
- 37:54Speaker 3: We've got to go quick. We've got to go quick. Okay,
- 37:57Speaker 3: we've got sacks right here. One time for Bobby.
- 37:59Speaker 9: Okay, okay. One time for Trey Merritt.
- 38:03Speaker 3: One time for Jalen Phillips. One time for Devin Lloyd.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Thank you, guys. We can talk about it tomorrow, okay?
- 38:20Speaker 8: But right now, a win is a win.
- 38:22Speaker 10: We came together.
- 38:22Speaker 3: We did what we had to do, guys.
- 38:24Speaker 8: We're comfortable in those situations. We found a way to win.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Hey, hey, hey, hey, coach said it. Hey, coach said it.
- 38:29Speaker 9: Hey, hey, there's no such thing as a bad win.
- 38:32Speaker 9: We know there's stuff to clean up.
- 38:33Speaker 3: We know we can be better.
- 38:34Speaker 9: But I'm so proud of the way we finished. Both
- 38:36Speaker 9: sides of the ball. Defense getting the stop. Offense finishing
- 38:39Speaker 9: in victory. Special teams getting the block. That's who we are.
- 38:42Speaker 9: That's our standard. Let's make sure we play.
- 38:44Speaker 3: To it every week. Bring it on.
- 38:45Speaker 7: Let's go, baby.
- 38:46Speaker 3: Family on three. One, two, three.
- 38:47Speaker 6: Family.
- 38:48Speaker 3: There you go, Brian T. I love it, baby.
- 38:51Speaker 4: Dave Canales is going to go through the whole roster
- 38:53Speaker 4: and the practice squad at some point.
- 38:55Speaker 3: H-K, great week of practice. We got H-K. Yeah, that
- 38:58Speaker 3: one did go on long. Hopefully we didn't play too much.
- 39:00Speaker 3: I mean, guys that were released. I just love the happiness.
- 39:02Speaker 4: Retired guys. It's going to keep on going here. Shake
- 39:05Speaker 4: the world with the booth up there, baby. We got
- 39:07Speaker 4: to shake the world. Jake DeLome called a good game.
- 39:11Speaker 4: How about Jim Zolke, everybody? I just lose the energy
- 39:14Speaker 4: in there.
- 39:15Speaker 3: There are people on their honeymoons that don't have as
- 39:17Speaker 3: much fun as the Panthers have in a victorious locker room.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Different sort of fun. I want to clarify. Different sort
- 39:22Speaker 3: of fun. But that's just jolly right there. Like, I'm
- 39:25Speaker 3: just waiting for JJ gets an orange slice. Like, I'm just,
- 39:29Speaker 3: JJ gets a juice box. I mean, it's just, it
- 39:31Speaker 3: is a happy energy. Someone may miss practice time with
- 39:38Speaker 3: chapped hands. From clapping too much. Oh, it's good, man.
- 39:43Speaker 3: All right, real quick. Let's play this one. Our international exception.
- 39:47Speaker 3: He was here today. Let's play. Let's play this one
- 39:50Speaker 3: from Canales because a lot of people are texting in
- 39:53Speaker 3: bothered by the end of the first half bone where
- 39:56Speaker 3: we just kind of let the clock run out. And
- 39:58Speaker 3: Philly's like, oh, we ain't taking a timeout. Are you
- 40:01Speaker 3: taking a timeout? And next thing you know, the half's over.
- 40:04Speaker 3: Bryce Young apparently went up to Brad Edzik and was pissed. Um, uh,
- 40:08Speaker 3: and after the game, Bryce said, Hey, coaches know I'm
- 40:11Speaker 3: emotional in the game. They made the right decision. Dave
- 40:14Speaker 3: Canales admitted afterwards that is his bad. He did not
- 40:18Speaker 3: handle it the best way.
- 40:20Speaker 8: That was me. Um, you know, that we were in
- 40:22Speaker 8: that situation where it was a potential go for it.
- 40:24Speaker 8: You know, it was about a yard and a half.
- 40:26Speaker 8: They had played us really well in some of the
- 40:28Speaker 8: short yardage situations. I was too indecisive in that situation.
- 40:32Speaker 8: You know, what I would have loved to have done
- 40:33Speaker 8: is be organized with, Hey, let's break the Let's try
- 40:37Speaker 8: to draw them off sides. And if we don't, then
- 40:41Speaker 8: we take a delay and punt it just to be
- 40:42Speaker 8: cleaner there. A couple plays before that, though, you know,
- 40:45Speaker 8: just in my philosophy of it is I'm not taking timeouts,
- 40:49Speaker 8: you know, before the half until we get under a minute.
- 40:51Speaker 8: You know, and we weren't in that mode yet. But
- 40:53Speaker 8: we were able to find that completion on third and long.
- 40:56Speaker 8: Jalen kind of fumbled the ball out of bounds. So
- 40:58Speaker 8: then I'm sitting there. I knew they were going to
- 40:59Speaker 8: run the clock. So I got to be better. I
- 41:02Speaker 8: got to be more organized that way so Bryce knows
- 41:04Speaker 8: what's happening, so Brad knows what's happening, and we can
- 41:06Speaker 8: get that cleaner.
- 41:07Speaker 3: I think it's a part of learning from the Cleveland game.
- 41:10Speaker 3: I think he was so worried that if we give
- 41:12Speaker 3: them the ball here around midfield, Bone, and they have
- 41:16Speaker 3: enough time, they throw a quick pass, hit a quick
- 41:18Speaker 3: field goal, and we're 10-10 with nothing to show for
- 41:20Speaker 3: our first half. And I think he learned. He actually
- 41:23Speaker 3: said it at the end of his presser about a
- 41:25Speaker 3: game like that. The reason why they punted a couple
- 41:28Speaker 3: times on fourth and short is because our defense was
- 41:32Speaker 3: playing well. And that's the exact thing I was trying
- 41:34Speaker 3: to say after the Cleveland game. You to get a
- 41:36Speaker 3: game like this where you realize our defense has them covered,
- 41:39Speaker 3: it's going to be a low-scoring game and points are
- 41:40Speaker 3: at a premium. Go play field position. Yeah. So I
- 41:43Speaker 3: think that's what he was worried about. It was a
- 41:45Speaker 3: little clunky and ugly at the first half. It reminded
- 41:47Speaker 3: me at the end of the first half of end
- 41:49Speaker 3: of the first half last year where they're almost more
- 41:51Speaker 3: worried about the other team getting the ball and scoring
- 41:53Speaker 3: than they are about scoring. But it all ended up
- 41:56Speaker 3: working out. Maybe for an ugly game like that, it
- 41:58Speaker 3: was the right way to play. He reminded me in
- 42:00Speaker 3: that speech there, Bone, or in that answer, he talked
- 42:04Speaker 3: about we should have tried to get him to jump
- 42:06Speaker 3: off sides and see if we could get a first down.
- 42:09Speaker 3: How about the play where Brad Idzik does the motion
- 42:13Speaker 3: with Tommy Tremble from the fullback position?
- 42:15Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 42:15Speaker 3: And I don't know if it was that or if
- 42:17Speaker 3: it was Bryce's cadence, but they get him to jump
- 42:20Speaker 3: offside on fourth and one. That was some good stuff
- 42:23Speaker 3: right there, man. We come back. College football conclusions. What
- 42:27Speaker 3: did we conclude after the amazing Saturday of CFB? Sports
