WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Adam Gold Interview

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:20.420
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio 92.7 WFNC. Thanks to Sheena Quick for hanging

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:22.550
<v Speaker 1>out with us here on the Mac and Bone Show

0:00:22.590 --> 0:00:25.890
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out this Panther season. Can they pull themselves?

0:00:26.310 --> 0:00:29.590
<v Speaker 1>back together. I do want to address a texter bone

0:00:29.910 --> 0:00:33.170
<v Speaker 1>because I tried to respond to him individually. I sent

0:00:33.220 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it to Picante by mistake. Picante was confused. He was

0:00:36.060 --> 0:00:38.580
<v Speaker 1>just trying to come up with some picks for Thursday

0:00:38.620 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>night match and I messed it all up. So people

0:00:42.780 --> 0:00:45.180
<v Speaker 1>were asking about the 21 day window that they've opened

0:00:45.220 --> 0:00:47.979
<v Speaker 1>for Brady Christensen and Canales did say, interestingly, they may

0:00:48.100 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>open it for Brooks and or XL. I would personally love,

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.290
<v Speaker 1>XL is another conversation, I would love to get Brooks

0:00:55.890 --> 0:00:58.190
<v Speaker 1>and the ability to just dump it off to him

0:00:59.150 --> 0:01:02.050
<v Speaker 1>out in space. I would love to get that screen

0:01:02.070 --> 0:01:03.590
<v Speaker 1>pass game to alleviate the pressure.

0:01:03.670 --> 0:01:05.910
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to get that back. Because Dylan's been hurt, too.

0:01:05.990 --> 0:01:08.330
<v Speaker 2>So it's basically all on Chuba in the run game. Well, Dylan,

0:01:08.370 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>healthy scratch last week. Healthy scratch. Before that, he was hurt, though, right? Yeah,

0:01:13.300 --> 0:01:15.899
<v Speaker 2>he had an ankle. But yes, I want that skill

0:01:15.940 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>set of Brooks in the passing game. I think it

0:01:18.300 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>could be huge. But anyway, so we're waiting to see

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 2>if they do it with Brooks, waiting to see if

0:01:21.700 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>they do it with XL. And when's Mike Jack coming

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 2>back horn and that sort of thing. But the 21

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.090
<v Speaker 2>day window that they did open up for Brady Christensen

0:01:30.110 --> 0:01:33.630
<v Speaker 2>means that he can start practicing. They have 21 days

0:01:33.690 --> 0:01:36.140
<v Speaker 2>to activate him on the active roster or he goes

0:01:36.220 --> 0:01:37.459
<v Speaker 2>on IR for the season.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.260
<v Speaker 1>So that's what kind of where that stands. But it

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.420
<v Speaker 1>sounds like Brady is, I would venture to say he,

0:01:44.030 --> 0:01:46.110
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like there's a good chance he plays this week.

0:01:46.150 --> 0:01:48.110
<v Speaker 2>Meg, if I need a window in the next 21 days,

0:01:48.130 --> 0:01:49.350
<v Speaker 2>where should I go buy my windows?

0:01:49.550 --> 0:01:54.010
<v Speaker 1>You get your 21-day windows at UniversalWindowsDirect.com, Bo. That was

0:01:54.030 --> 0:01:55.650
<v Speaker 1>so nice of you to ask me about that.

0:01:55.670 --> 0:01:56.170
<v Speaker 2>Gotcha, man.

0:01:57.110 --> 0:02:01.420
<v Speaker 1>All right. Bo is playing John Stockton in my Carl

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Malone for my ads. All right, let's bring in a

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>man right now that we want to hear his opinion

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on a lot of these things going on, Bone. We

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 1>got Tar Heel basketball making fans a little concerned after

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the opener in the exhibition season. We've got all kind

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>of triangle football happenings going on. We got the Canes.

0:02:22.500 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>We got all kind of stuff. And, of course, the Panthers.

0:02:24.660 --> 0:02:27.260
<v Speaker 1>Adam Gold, 99.9, the fan in Raleigh. And, of course,

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.399
<v Speaker 1>you can hear him most weeknights here. WFNZ at 7 o'clock. Goldie,

0:02:31.419 --> 0:02:32.660
<v Speaker 1>how you doing this week, brother?

0:02:33.860 --> 0:02:37.180
<v Speaker 3>I'm hanging in there. I wasn't that concerned about the

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.250
<v Speaker 3>Tar Heels. They didn't exactly blow anybody's doors off during

0:02:41.260 --> 0:02:42.910
<v Speaker 3>the preseason. I kind of expected that.

0:02:43.100 --> 0:02:45.669
<v Speaker 1>So what do you think? Okay, let's start right there

0:02:45.690 --> 0:02:48.270
<v Speaker 1>because Finney may be a bit concerned, Goldie.

0:02:48.490 --> 0:02:49.910
<v Speaker 2>I'm also very highly concerned.

0:02:49.950 --> 0:02:53.350
<v Speaker 1>Bone is very stressed out about it. They got out-rebounded

0:02:53.410 --> 0:02:56.930
<v Speaker 1>again last night this time by Western Carolina. Like, do

0:02:57.010 --> 0:02:59.530
<v Speaker 1>you think Michael Malone, I think it's a pretty good bet,

0:02:59.590 --> 0:03:02.070
<v Speaker 1>will make them better, will improve the team?

0:03:02.090 --> 0:03:02.190
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:02.690 --> 0:03:05.670
<v Speaker 1>Are you worried about where exactly their ceiling is or,

0:03:06.410 --> 0:03:08.550
<v Speaker 1>or does it not matter? Cause it's year one. Like,

0:03:08.590 --> 0:03:10.790
<v Speaker 1>are you kind of, you want heels fans to be patient?

0:03:11.210 --> 0:03:12.550
<v Speaker 1>Is that kind of your message?

0:03:13.590 --> 0:03:17.070
<v Speaker 3>It met year one. They're going to be fine. I

0:03:17.110 --> 0:03:19.970
<v Speaker 3>think their roster is good. I don't think their roster

0:03:20.930 --> 0:03:24.970
<v Speaker 3>is great. They could certainly use the big kid from

0:03:25.810 --> 0:03:29.410
<v Speaker 3>North Dakota, whatever, or whatever the Dakota we'll just say Dakota.

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:30.970
<v Speaker 1>That's what I said earlier. I didn't know which one.

0:03:32.060 --> 0:03:34.620
<v Speaker 3>Can we all agree that we only need one Dakota?

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:35.780
<v Speaker 1>We only need one, clearly.

0:03:36.220 --> 0:03:37.870
<v Speaker 3>We're only one.

0:03:37.910 --> 0:03:39.290
<v Speaker 2>We'll vote on that.

0:03:40.070 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 3>On the show today, we could just get rid of

0:03:42.310 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 3>one of the Dakotas. Make it one giant Dakota.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.900
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. And for people that say, why don't we just

0:03:48.940 --> 0:03:49.980
<v Speaker 1>do one Carolina?

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, y'all.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:51.420
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, y'all.

0:03:51.500 --> 0:03:55.380
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to team up with y'all. In Wyoming,

0:03:55.780 --> 0:03:57.820
<v Speaker 2>by the way, you're getting thrown into the Dakotas, too.

0:03:57.830 --> 0:03:59.710
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you're doing out there.

0:04:01.130 --> 0:04:01.710
<v Speaker 1>Dakota-oming.

0:04:01.730 --> 0:04:04.810
<v Speaker 3>It's like the Upper Peninsula. It's not really attached to

0:04:04.850 --> 0:04:10.090
<v Speaker 3>the Dakotas. Look, I am not worried. They need the

0:04:10.130 --> 0:04:14.660
<v Speaker 3>big kid. And here's what it demonstrates. It demonstrates how

0:04:14.820 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 3>stupid the NCAA is. Because Van Allen Lubin is playing

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.830
<v Speaker 3>a sixth year at NC State. He's eligible. The kid

0:04:21.870 --> 0:04:24.810
<v Speaker 3>from North Dakota is not. Somebody make sense of that.

0:04:24.910 --> 0:04:30.070
<v Speaker 3>You know, the funny thing is, And reasonable people can

0:04:30.110 --> 0:04:32.330
<v Speaker 3>disagree whether it's a good rule or not. I think

0:04:32.410 --> 0:04:35.980
<v Speaker 3>five years to play five is a great rule, best

0:04:36.010 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 3>rule the NCAA has come up with in years. And

0:04:39.820 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 3>this season, we have players who are playing their eighth

0:04:43.339 --> 0:04:46.810
<v Speaker 3>year of college football eligible and players who want to

0:04:46.850 --> 0:04:53.290
<v Speaker 3>play their fifth ineligible. And that is absolutely nonsensical, but

0:04:53.330 --> 0:04:55.410
<v Speaker 3>this is the NCAA's finest work.

0:04:55.529 --> 0:04:55.930
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:04:55.990 --> 0:04:58.150
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, the way it goes to certain courts

0:04:58.250 --> 0:05:00.210
<v Speaker 1>and what judge do you get and what state is

0:05:00.230 --> 0:05:01.870
<v Speaker 1>your case? I mean, it's just absurd.

0:05:01.930 --> 0:05:05.550
<v Speaker 2>It really is, man. What did you think of the heel?

0:05:05.910 --> 0:05:08.349
<v Speaker 2>What'd you think of the heels football effort the other

0:05:08.390 --> 0:05:12.330
<v Speaker 2>day where they push Miami and all the referee chatter

0:05:12.390 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>about the game? What was your takeaway from how that ended?

0:05:16.740 --> 0:05:20.270
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the pass interference that they got called for

0:05:20.310 --> 0:05:24.350
<v Speaker 3>was garbage. There's no pass interference there ever, anywhere, at

0:05:24.420 --> 0:05:28.330
<v Speaker 3>any time. It's a terrible call. But the two calls

0:05:28.410 --> 0:05:31.690
<v Speaker 3>on the onside kicks, I mean, they're both penalties. The

0:05:31.750 --> 0:05:34.450
<v Speaker 3>one at the first one, the offside, it doesn't impact

0:05:34.470 --> 0:05:38.330
<v Speaker 3>the play, but he's offside. So, I mean, that's an

0:05:38.370 --> 0:05:40.789
<v Speaker 3>easy one. And the second one clearly impacts the play.

0:05:41.550 --> 0:05:45.980
<v Speaker 3>You can't block the guy out of the way before

0:05:45.980 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 3>10 yards so you can get the ball. And contact

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.620
<v Speaker 3>is clearly made about nine yards down the field. My

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.280
<v Speaker 3>bigger takeaway, first of all, I was super impressed by

0:05:55.339 --> 0:06:00.469
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina. The fact that if Billy Edwards doesn't get

0:06:00.610 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 3>strip sacked, Carolina wins that game. My takeaway is Miami

0:06:05.779 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 3>ain't beating anybody really good because they can't stop anybody.

0:06:10.100 --> 0:06:14.220
<v Speaker 3>Carolina's got pros on their offense. Thurman and ship are

0:06:14.260 --> 0:06:17.860
<v Speaker 3>both pros. They had other contributions. I really like all

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.799
<v Speaker 3>three running backs. And my takeaway is that Bill Belichick

0:06:21.820 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 3>has shown you that Onside kicks are easily a 50-50

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 3>proposition when he does them. Because I don't know how

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.100
<v Speaker 3>you stop that. Because if they're not offside on the

0:06:35.140 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 3>first one, Carolina recovers it and they go and win

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.020
<v Speaker 3>the game. But they were offside. But the second one,

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.140
<v Speaker 3>they clearly blocked early. But still, I don't know how

0:06:45.190 --> 0:06:48.430
<v Speaker 3>you stop that. Or maybe it's just against Miami and

0:06:48.470 --> 0:06:52.010
<v Speaker 3>Mario Cristobal was in the process of getting himself outcoached.

0:06:52.430 --> 0:06:53.429
<v Speaker 3>which has happened before.

0:06:55.790 --> 0:06:59.190
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to say, Goldie, that we're overreacting to

0:06:59.990 --> 0:07:04.150
<v Speaker 1>night one of college basketball here, but Finney went out

0:07:04.690 --> 0:07:07.350
<v Speaker 1>to get some water and a Duke fan was waiting

0:07:07.390 --> 0:07:10.540
<v Speaker 1>for him, our friend Q, waiting for him and pointing

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:11.710
<v Speaker 1>at him and laughing.

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>To harass him. Now they've both disappeared into the hallway somewhere.

0:07:16.220 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Duke wasn't all that impressive either.

0:07:19.340 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>No, but we know they will. We know they will be.

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.180
<v Speaker 1>That's the difference is we know they will be. We

0:07:25.220 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know how impressive Carolina will be.

0:07:27.220 --> 0:07:30.580
<v Speaker 3>Well, again, I think Carolina's roster is at a little

0:07:30.620 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 3>different level. And again, they're missing that big guy. Look,

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 3>I love Matt Abel, but I can't recall seeing Matt

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:44.740
<v Speaker 3>Abel dominate a game at NC State. I mean, I

0:07:44.780 --> 0:07:50.420
<v Speaker 3>think his potential has been better than his performances his

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.500
<v Speaker 3>first year at State. And I think those other players

0:07:55.660 --> 0:08:00.570
<v Speaker 3>are good players, but not from necessarily major programs in

0:08:00.610 --> 0:08:03.810
<v Speaker 3>major leagues. I think they'll be very good. I think

0:08:03.870 --> 0:08:05.930
<v Speaker 3>Michael Malone is a great coach. I love the future

0:08:05.950 --> 0:08:08.790
<v Speaker 3>of that program. And I think this team will be good.

0:08:08.810 --> 0:08:10.870
<v Speaker 3>I don't think this team will be great, but I

0:08:10.910 --> 0:08:13.980
<v Speaker 3>think this team will be good. So... Just because they

0:08:14.020 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 3>have North Carolina across the chest doesn't mean they're going

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.450
<v Speaker 3>to be otherworldly. I think they're good.

0:08:21.610 --> 0:08:23.830
<v Speaker 2>We talked to you last week after the firing of

0:08:23.890 --> 0:08:28.610
<v Speaker 2>Dave Doran the previous weekend, but the Phillip Rivers chatter

0:08:28.670 --> 0:08:31.310
<v Speaker 2>is growing more and more and more. What are your

0:08:31.330 --> 0:08:34.380
<v Speaker 2>thoughts now, a week removed from when it first came up,

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>about the potential of Phillip Rivers as the head coach

0:08:37.020 --> 0:08:37.579
<v Speaker 2>of the Wolfpack?

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.940
<v Speaker 3>I mean... It does certainly seem like that's the direction

0:08:42.980 --> 0:08:46.790
<v Speaker 3>of travel. And I'm not against it. I don't mean

0:08:46.850 --> 0:08:50.150
<v Speaker 3>anything might work. Philip Rivers might end up being a

0:08:50.170 --> 0:08:53.850
<v Speaker 3>great coach. I don't know. It's is it a risk? Yeah,

0:08:53.890 --> 0:08:57.030
<v Speaker 3>because he has no college coaching experience. But if he

0:08:57.070 --> 0:09:00.390
<v Speaker 3>makes smart hires, he might be able to mitigate his

0:09:00.450 --> 0:09:03.810
<v Speaker 3>lack of experience. We don't have to doubt his football mind.

0:09:04.309 --> 0:09:06.670
<v Speaker 3>We don't have doubt whether or not he loves the university,

0:09:07.050 --> 0:09:12.430
<v Speaker 3>but that's true. So can he raise money? Can he

0:09:12.470 --> 0:09:16.090
<v Speaker 3>hire the right assistants and can he raise money? If

0:09:16.150 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>they can do that, then I think it'll be a

0:09:18.170 --> 0:09:22.140
<v Speaker 3>fine hire unless the coaching part of it overwhelms him.

0:09:22.260 --> 0:09:23.740
<v Speaker 3>And I don't think I don't see that happening.

0:09:24.290 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>How worried are you? I guess you wouldn't be. Why

0:09:27.390 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>am I asking if you're going to be worried? Adam

0:09:28.890 --> 0:09:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Gold is steady Eddie Cool, baby.

0:09:30.300 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm very worried. I'm very worried about this question.

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>No, I think I should phrase it this way. How

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>worried should Duke and Wake fans be? And I hate

0:09:40.140 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 1>to do this to Wake fans in the middle of

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.590
<v Speaker 1>their great season, but how worried should those schools be

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:51.630
<v Speaker 1>that Manny Diaz and or Jake Dicker could go take

0:09:51.670 --> 0:09:52.709
<v Speaker 1>another job? What do you think?

0:09:54.340 --> 0:09:58.830
<v Speaker 3>They should be incredibly worried that both will have options.

0:09:58.910 --> 0:10:04.140
<v Speaker 3>They will definitely have options. I know what Florida State

0:10:04.179 --> 0:10:08.630
<v Speaker 3>has been. I wouldn't take that job for a second.

0:10:08.730 --> 0:10:09.530
<v Speaker 2>I know. Me either.

0:10:09.550 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>We said that too.

0:10:10.130 --> 0:10:15.189
<v Speaker 3>There is no ability. The culture of that program is

0:10:15.809 --> 0:10:20.050
<v Speaker 3>I think is so far away from winning now. Diaz

0:10:20.130 --> 0:10:24.750
<v Speaker 3>is an alum, so Diaz might have other interests there,

0:10:24.860 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 3>and I get it. But to answer your question, if

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:35.260
<v Speaker 3>I'm Duke or Wake Forest, you should always understand that

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 3>That if your coach succeeds, he's going to be, he's

0:10:39.540 --> 0:10:41.900
<v Speaker 3>going to have, there's going to be interested parties elsewhere

0:10:42.260 --> 0:10:44.179
<v Speaker 3>because people say, how can you win at Wake? How

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 3>can you win at Duke? Those guys must be superstars.

0:10:47.380 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 3>And I think they both are. But to me, that's just,

0:10:50.860 --> 0:10:53.459
<v Speaker 3>you have to be prepared. You should never hire a

0:10:53.500 --> 0:10:57.220
<v Speaker 3>coach at Duke or Wake thinking that, all right, these

0:10:57.260 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 3>guys are going to be here forever. That should never happen.

0:11:00.820 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 3>You should be ready to hire a coach every three years.

0:11:03.980 --> 0:11:06.350
<v Speaker 3>Say the same thing at App. Say the same thing

0:11:06.390 --> 0:11:09.309
<v Speaker 3>at ECU. If you're looking to hire your forever coach,

0:11:09.740 --> 0:11:11.739
<v Speaker 3>you are doing it the wrong way. You got to

0:11:11.820 --> 0:11:13.819
<v Speaker 3>hire a coach that you think can help you win

0:11:13.860 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 3>now and then understand that when he does or if

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.420
<v Speaker 3>he does, he's off. And that's fair because you can't

0:11:21.950 --> 0:11:25.170
<v Speaker 3>possibly compensate these guys the way they can get compensated elsewhere.

0:11:25.780 --> 0:11:28.570
<v Speaker 2>One reason, Adam, I'm not freaking out about it is

0:11:28.610 --> 0:11:31.530
<v Speaker 2>because Duke has done such a great job in hiring

0:11:31.570 --> 0:11:35.369
<v Speaker 2>coaches under this administration that, yeah, it's frustrating, but I

0:11:35.410 --> 0:11:37.170
<v Speaker 2>have no doubt that they're going to make the right

0:11:37.220 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 2>hire again. They're doing a great job throughout all their

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 2>sports in their hiring process.

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 3>No doubt, except that Shire guy.

0:11:45.900 --> 0:11:50.510
<v Speaker 2>Hey, hey, hey, there's some late game issues, and we've

0:11:50.530 --> 0:11:51.870
<v Speaker 2>talked about it, me and JS.

0:11:51.990 --> 0:11:52.850
<v Speaker 1>And we're working through some things.

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.459
<v Speaker 3>They have flamed out at the worst possible time, but

0:11:58.380 --> 0:12:06.230
<v Speaker 3>John Shire is a superstar. There's like five basketball coaches

0:12:06.270 --> 0:12:10.110
<v Speaker 3>in America that would keep their jobs if John Shire

0:12:11.650 --> 0:12:16.670
<v Speaker 3>was a coaching free agent. 340 coaches. schools would fire

0:12:16.710 --> 0:12:18.290
<v Speaker 3>their coach to hire John. Agree.

0:12:18.350 --> 0:12:19.069
<v Speaker 1>Totally, man.

0:12:19.190 --> 0:12:19.350
<v Speaker 3>Agree.

0:12:19.370 --> 0:12:23.110
<v Speaker 1>It's only a matter of time, man, for him. Okay.

0:12:23.130 --> 0:12:25.630
<v Speaker 1>Let me, let me ask a more positive weight question now.

0:12:25.710 --> 0:12:28.050
<v Speaker 1>Cause I feel bad. They're having this amazing season. They're

0:12:28.090 --> 0:12:31.620
<v Speaker 1>Molly whomping people every week. And although they do have

0:12:31.630 --> 0:12:33.980
<v Speaker 1>the Gio Lopez knee injury concern, we don't know for

0:12:34.010 --> 0:12:36.199
<v Speaker 1>sure about that, but I just want to ask you,

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.719
<v Speaker 1>like you were kind of, and I understand why, but

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.900
<v Speaker 1>you were kind of dismissive of their chances of the

0:12:42.980 --> 0:12:47.300
<v Speaker 1>playoff weeks ago. They are really breaking out the whooping

0:12:47.340 --> 0:12:51.260
<v Speaker 1>stick now. Are you warming up to their playoff chances?

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:52.460
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about that?

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.140
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'll give you a little insight on what we're

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 3>going to do today on the show. I don't know

0:12:57.260 --> 0:13:01.020
<v Speaker 3>if it's airing today. We are going to project the

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:06.410
<v Speaker 3>playoff today. And I, at this very moment, do not

0:13:06.490 --> 0:13:12.170
<v Speaker 3>have Wake Forest in. But I don't have Indiana in.

0:13:12.370 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 3>And I don't have Notre Dame in either. And those

0:13:17.140 --> 0:13:19.340
<v Speaker 3>are all one loss teams as well. I have several

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.140
<v Speaker 3>two loss teams ahead of them. But I think if

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 3>they beat SMU, they just don't have the total resume.

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.339
<v Speaker 3>Even though Wake Forest has been laying waste to everybody,

0:13:33.700 --> 0:13:36.730
<v Speaker 3>much like Indiana did in year one without beating anybody good,

0:13:38.710 --> 0:13:43.850
<v Speaker 3>their best thing on their resume right now is probably

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.050
<v Speaker 3>the loss to Miami. Maybe the win over Louisville, because

0:13:47.150 --> 0:13:50.489
<v Speaker 3>Louisville was ranked at the time. And actually, I think

0:13:50.570 --> 0:13:54.230
<v Speaker 3>there's one poll that has them ranked now. But if

0:13:54.270 --> 0:13:58.010
<v Speaker 3>they beat SMU on the road, if they finish with

0:13:58.370 --> 0:14:03.329
<v Speaker 3>three more wins in league play, then they're going to

0:14:03.370 --> 0:14:07.030
<v Speaker 3>go to the ACC championship at 11-1. And yeah, they'll

0:14:07.050 --> 0:14:10.170
<v Speaker 3>be a playoff team, whether they lose to Miami or not,

0:14:10.330 --> 0:14:13.130
<v Speaker 3>I think. But that's what they have to do. They

0:14:13.170 --> 0:14:15.230
<v Speaker 3>have to run the table in order to be a

0:14:15.250 --> 0:14:18.990
<v Speaker 3>playoff team because, unfortunately, they just don't have the wins

0:14:20.370 --> 0:14:22.790
<v Speaker 3>against really good teams. But if they run the table,

0:14:23.330 --> 0:14:28.090
<v Speaker 3>they'll have them because the games against SMU and Duke

0:14:28.110 --> 0:14:30.410
<v Speaker 3>will be good wins when they get right down to it.

0:14:30.630 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is what they're up against, no doubt. I've

0:14:33.900 --> 0:14:36.940
<v Speaker 1>got to be honest, after watching Miami struggle to stop

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the passing games of Florida State and UNC... I'm not

0:14:40.420 --> 0:14:43.340
<v Speaker 1>so sure here in Charlotte, if they met, Wake couldn't

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.220
<v Speaker 1>beat them. You know, I'm not.

0:14:45.420 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I think I wouldn't want to play Wake Forest at

0:14:48.380 --> 0:14:51.290
<v Speaker 3>all right now. I think they're going to SMU in

0:14:51.310 --> 0:14:52.109
<v Speaker 3>two weeks to win.

0:14:53.210 --> 0:14:55.830
<v Speaker 1>I tend to agree. I tend to agree on that. Goldie,

0:14:55.990 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you were asking, are you on today in Charlotte? 7

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>o'clock sharp, you are on tonight, baby, so they can

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.460
<v Speaker 1>hear you talk about Wake and the playoff. And obviously

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow on our show, Bone, we're going to react to

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.890
<v Speaker 1>where Wake is in the first playoff standings that come

0:15:08.930 --> 0:15:10.990
<v Speaker 1>out tonight. Goldie, you are the man.

0:15:11.030 --> 0:15:13.479
<v Speaker 2>He's not live, though, at 7.

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:14.660
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I thought he was going to come in the studio.

0:15:14.700 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to assign him with his own personal job.

0:15:16.900 --> 0:15:20.790
<v Speaker 1>So he may not know yet. No, I said we're

0:15:20.810 --> 0:15:23.090
<v Speaker 1>going to– it's two separate shows.

0:15:23.110 --> 0:15:23.770
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, okay.

0:15:23.790 --> 0:15:27.150
<v Speaker 1>Tonight you're going to hear Goldie from today with his playoffs.

0:15:27.310 --> 0:15:30.270
<v Speaker 2>I thought you meant Goldie's reacting to the playoffs. I'm

0:15:30.310 --> 0:15:30.890
<v Speaker 2>not that dumb.

0:15:30.990 --> 0:15:31.380
<v Speaker 1>I'm dumb.

0:15:31.460 --> 0:15:34.020
<v Speaker 2>Well, I wasn't sure there.

0:15:34.060 --> 0:15:35.740
<v Speaker 3>You guys don't watch that show, do you?

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I lock in.

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.020
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I lock in. I never miss an episode.

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I lock in. I take notes and everything, Goldie.

0:15:41.100 --> 0:15:42.220
<v Speaker 3>You're dumber when it's over? Yeah.

0:15:43.140 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Hard for me to feel dumber, you know, and hard

0:15:44.940 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>for me to do that. All right, Goldie, are you

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.820
<v Speaker 1>one of those curmudgeons that won't waste your time with

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:51.250
<v Speaker 1>that stuff?

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.470
<v Speaker 3>No, because it's all fake. It's all contrived. They're not

0:15:55.510 --> 0:15:58.870
<v Speaker 3>telling you the truth. It's terrible. It's an awful show.

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But I want to react to the fake and contrive

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.260
<v Speaker 1>the next day on the show.

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.330
<v Speaker 2>I like Joey Galloway getting worked up and Reese trying

0:16:08.350 --> 0:16:09.950
<v Speaker 2>to calm him down. I like when they talk to

0:16:10.710 --> 0:16:13.090
<v Speaker 2>the committee chairman. They grow him like Billy Packer.

0:16:12.890 --> 0:16:13.170
<v Speaker 3>Used to do.

0:16:13.210 --> 0:16:15.050
<v Speaker 1>Is McAfee on this thing or are they finally giving

0:16:15.070 --> 0:16:16.910
<v Speaker 1>him a day off? Please tell me to put him

0:16:17.010 --> 0:16:18.740
<v Speaker 1>on this thing. He's actually going to host and be

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.740
<v Speaker 1>the analyst. He's going to throw it to himself. All right, Goldie, we'll.

0:16:21.660 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Talk to you.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 3>He's doing part of ABC's election coverage.

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>It's bad enough Stephen A. 's hosting an election show

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>on POTUS tonight, man. POTUS Radio.

0:16:30.870 --> 0:16:32.020
<v Speaker 3>No, please tell me no.

0:16:32.290 --> 0:16:33.350
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:16:33.450 --> 0:16:33.750
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:16:33.950 --> 0:16:34.930
<v Speaker 1>I heard that yesterday.

0:16:35.730 --> 0:16:36.870
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my God.

0:16:37.090 --> 0:16:38.390
<v Speaker 1>Anyway. All right.

0:16:38.570 --> 0:16:39.050
<v Speaker 2>America.

0:16:39.230 --> 0:16:40.190
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate you, Goldie.

0:16:41.230 --> 0:16:41.490
<v Speaker 3>Bye.
