WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 3: Panthers Questions 0:00:03.610 --> 0:00:07.130 Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby. 0:00:07.190 --> 0:00:08.830 This is my friend Matt. 0:00:09.070 --> 0:00:10.610 Posh, come on, Posh. 0:00:10.630 --> 0:00:14.890 This is my friend T-Bone. Let's have some fun. 0:00:15.130 --> 0:00:18.360 I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone. 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:19.000 Do it live. 0:00:27.420 --> 0:00:29.500 Certainly there's going to be aspects of that game plan 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.720 that we'd like to transfer over. They're similar from the 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.860 skill set. They're both great runners. They're both good as receivers. 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.900 They're both good in protection. So they create a lot 0:00:40.940 --> 0:00:44.680 of challenges and problems, and we know that their coaches 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.520 do a good job of getting them to those featured spots. 0:00:47.580 --> 0:00:51.100 And so there will certainly be aspects of the game 0:00:51.140 --> 0:00:55.260 plan that we'll like to carry over. Obviously, the pieces 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.600 around them are different, right? So we know there's going 0:00:57.620 --> 0:01:00.709 to be some other challenges that Lions present different from 0:01:00.750 --> 0:01:05.530 the Falcons, but great players that are challenges in a 0:01:05.569 --> 0:01:06.930 lot of different aspects. 0:01:08.569 --> 0:01:09.110 There you go. 0:01:09.170 --> 0:01:12.750 Ejiro Avero talking about something we've discussed this week, Bone. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:14.830 It was a good question for Cassidy Hill, too, during 0:01:14.860 --> 0:01:18.440 the presser. Like, how much can you use the Falcons 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.640 game plan that held Bijan Robinson to 82 rush yards, 0:01:23.490 --> 0:01:26.819 and three catches for nine yards. Because that was a 0:01:26.940 --> 0:01:30.020 banner job. That might be, I don't know, that might 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.800 be the best job done all season on Bichon. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:32.920 Yeah, it was, actually. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.350 So, like, can you replicate that? Can you do the 0:01:37.410 --> 0:01:41.709 same things against Gibbs? They're certainly going to try. But 0:01:41.750 --> 0:01:43.590 it's on tape, too. I think Devin Lloyd was a 0:01:43.590 --> 0:01:46.230 big part of that. He did so much in that game. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.720 But I think having Devin Lloyd back, Boney, to chase 0:01:49.780 --> 0:01:53.920 around Gibbs, I think is big. Devin Lloyd covering Laporta, 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.080 I think is big. I think teams that have that 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.240 combination of dual threat running back that's going to catch 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.500 it and be out in space, juking and jiving, and 0:02:03.540 --> 0:02:06.440 he has forced 25 missed tackles already this year. gibbs 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.359 and a tight end i think that's where our improved 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.920 linebacker play comes in handy i really do. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.139 Yeah the issue with that though is there was really 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.960 no threat of the pass with the quarterback play of 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.989 the falcons yes i think they can do a good 0:02:21.030 --> 0:02:24.669 job on gibbs like robinson The problem would be there 0:02:24.730 --> 0:02:27.270 are so many more options in the passing game that 0:02:27.310 --> 0:02:30.860 the Lions have at wide out. You've got Laporta. You 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.320 didn't fear the other, even London in that game, you 0:02:33.340 --> 0:02:35.679 didn't fear the Falcons offense besides B. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.820 John. I fear everything with this Lions offense. Well, yeah, 0:02:39.910 --> 0:02:40.850 you could take B. 0:02:40.870 --> 0:02:44.270 John away and be like, I dare your scrubby-ass third 0:02:44.290 --> 0:02:45.790 and fourth string quarterback to throw it. 0:02:45.810 --> 0:02:46.070 Yes. 0:02:46.250 --> 0:02:49.770 You know, whereas we ain't daring Jared Goff to throw it. 0:02:49.850 --> 0:02:52.850 And oh, by the way, we had our two starting 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.740 corners in that game too so now better better passing 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.480 game much better quarterback both starting corners i can't remember 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:01.160 as well what. 0:03:01.060 --> 0:03:02.600 Was the guy named jack kemp that came in the 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.960 game what's his name there the jack strand yeah not 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.260 sound like a damn movie star jack camp that's a 0:03:07.740 --> 0:03:12.340 former quarterback politician whatever it was old school man fear 0:03:12.380 --> 0:03:16.260 we didn't fear the qbs golf You got to fear 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:16.840 that attack. 0:03:16.940 --> 0:03:20.280 Niners Eddie says golf is poo. Y'all got this. That's 0:03:20.310 --> 0:03:22.450 the first time Niners Eddie has ever sent a positive 0:03:22.470 --> 0:03:25.230 Panther text in ever. I don't think golf is poo. 0:03:25.790 --> 0:03:28.000 Although I do know a couple Lions fans that like 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.440 disc golf. And I get their point. Their point is, Bone, 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.180 to get to the mountaintop. They're not sure Goff can 0:03:36.220 --> 0:03:38.030 do that. Oh, he did get in a Super Bowl 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:39.670 with McVay and the Rams, but they didn't win it. 0:03:40.250 --> 0:03:44.410 But in terms of the way he's playing, our secondary, 0:03:44.910 --> 0:03:48.450 I'm sorry, man. I'm definitely concerned. You got my attention. 0:03:48.710 --> 0:03:50.230 He's off to an amazing start, too. 0:03:50.230 --> 0:03:50.490 116 rating. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.820 Eight touchdowns, no picks. We had a texter earlier, Bone, 0:03:56.340 --> 0:04:00.000 as we ponder, are we panthering up? And I honestly 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.640 want to know from you guys how many fans out 0:04:02.660 --> 0:04:04.920 there do think we win this game. But we had 0:04:04.940 --> 0:04:07.380 a texter earlier that said, I've seen Goff have some 0:04:07.420 --> 0:04:10.200 hideous four and five turnover games. And I was thinking 0:04:10.220 --> 0:04:11.600 about that this week. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:12.440 He. 0:04:13.420 --> 0:04:14.780 I can't remember the games. I feel like you had 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.620 one against Houston on like a Sunday night one time. 0:04:18.330 --> 0:04:19.050 Oh, he turned it over. 0:04:19.089 --> 0:04:21.470 I got five pick game. You have one of the playoffs. 0:04:22.500 --> 0:04:25.800 I don't remember that. Or no. The Washington game, what 0:04:25.820 --> 0:04:27.380 did he do in that game? Was that a bad 0:04:27.460 --> 0:04:30.000 one turnover-wise for him? I have to watch. But he 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.440 has been so clean with it this week. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.260 But, man, if you could find that version of Jared Goff, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.620 I don't know if you can do that with Horn 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.280 and Jackson out, but that would be big. All right, 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.580 so before we do our picks and before we start 0:04:41.620 --> 0:04:44.680 reading y'all's texts of whether you think the Panthers can win, 0:04:44.700 --> 0:04:45.460 I do want. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.940 He had three INTs in the Washington game that they 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.339 got upset in. So there are those moments. He had 0:04:50.460 --> 0:04:54.060 a 57% completion percentage. he had a terrible game that day. 0:04:54.330 --> 0:04:55.890 Yeah. There are those moments. 0:04:56.210 --> 0:04:57.810 Um, but I just don't know, are we in a 0:04:57.850 --> 0:05:01.550 position without horn and Jack to create those moments? Um, 0:05:01.610 --> 0:05:05.270 couple of things to set the tone for this panthering 0:05:05.330 --> 0:05:07.680 up conversation. We want to read your texts. How many 0:05:07.700 --> 0:05:09.539 of y'all are actually panthered up? A lot of people 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.659 are saying it's a shootout regulators says, uh, we win 0:05:12.700 --> 0:05:17.020 in a shootout. He thinks, which I think is definitely possible. Um, and, 0:05:17.690 --> 0:05:20.150 Two points I want to make, Bone. One is there's 0:05:20.190 --> 0:05:21.830 a lot of gloom and doom on the text line. 0:05:22.130 --> 0:05:24.520 We've been hit so hard by injuries. I understand it. 0:05:25.450 --> 0:05:30.010 But we're only three and a half point dogs. So 0:05:30.150 --> 0:05:32.630 like for all the gloom and doom, and I know 0:05:32.650 --> 0:05:35.180 we're at home and dogs, but this is not one 0:05:35.210 --> 0:05:38.160 of these games, Bone, like Packers or Rams last year 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.490 where we were double-digit point underdogs and still found a 0:05:41.510 --> 0:05:43.420 way to win. So that's the first thing. Let's not 0:05:43.540 --> 0:05:46.260 act bone. And you were talking about this earlier, the Lions' 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.600 first three games. Let's not act like folks in Detroit 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.660 are on cloud nine thinking this is some sort of 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.700 super Lions team like it was two years ago. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.450 No, they're still trying to figure out exactly who they 0:05:56.570 --> 0:05:57.670 are right now. It's not. 0:05:58.150 --> 0:06:00.690 They've come back to earth to some degree, especially on 0:06:01.490 --> 0:06:06.450 the defensive side with injuries. The problem that I'm having 0:06:06.529 --> 0:06:12.279 here is the Browns Coupled with all the injuries to J.C. Horn, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.040 to Mike Jag, all the guys on the report this week. 0:06:15.580 --> 0:06:17.840 My spirit's been hit a little bit this week. So 0:06:17.860 --> 0:06:21.260 I'm not in normal rah-rah mode. I'm not saying I 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.789 can't be talked into it and that good points aren't 0:06:25.029 --> 0:06:29.990 being made about why the Panthers can win. Me personally, 0:06:30.410 --> 0:06:33.200 last week and then the injuries, that was a big hit. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.840 to the confidence in this particular matchup this weekend. 0:06:35.900 --> 0:06:38.880 Yeah, I will say the Browns last night, though, performance 0:06:38.940 --> 0:06:41.860 did make me look and say, okay, maybe, you know 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.200 what I mean? 0:06:42.220 --> 0:06:45.220 Maybe it's not the normal shame of losing to the Browns. No, 0:06:45.220 --> 0:06:46.600 that's fair. I did kind of have that. 0:06:46.620 --> 0:06:49.140 The Browns have actually been good three weeks in a row, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.599 and their one loss is to Jacksonville, who probably isn't 0:06:52.820 --> 0:06:54.900 talked about enough, I don't think, for how good they 0:06:54.940 --> 0:06:58.000 actually are. 704 asking if Devin Lloyd is playing. If so, 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.820 we have a chance he is. Hopefully there's no setback. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:01.720 I don't want to Matt curse it. 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.420 But he's practiced in full every day this week and 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.990 also said on Monday, I'm playing. Apparently was close-boned to 0:07:08.029 --> 0:07:10.650 being able to go last week. Yeah, he's a big factor. 0:07:11.110 --> 0:07:13.210 I think we missed him last week. Not saying the 0:07:13.250 --> 0:07:15.290 defense didn't do a lot of good things until late, 0:07:15.870 --> 0:07:18.510 but we missed him last week. The other point I 0:07:18.530 --> 0:07:21.630 want to make about this game, before I make my 0:07:21.670 --> 0:07:25.240 Panther and up decision is this is nothing like the 0:07:25.340 --> 0:07:26.700 Rams game last year. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.220 I mean, I shouldn't say nothing. 0:07:28.260 --> 0:07:30.580 That's wrong. Cause we've compared it to that. The injuries 0:07:30.620 --> 0:07:33.480 who were missing at Rams game. We didn't have two 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.630 starting linebackers, Mike Jack, Trayvon Merrick. We didn't have a 0:07:36.650 --> 0:07:41.490 bunch of guys, but there is no comparison between bone 0:07:42.190 --> 0:07:46.010 that Rams team that came in here as double digit favorites. 0:07:46.170 --> 0:07:50.010 And this is, Detroit team. That Rams team bone was 0:07:50.090 --> 0:07:53.770 considered the most popular choice for best team in the 0:07:53.890 --> 0:07:57.120 NFL coming into Carolina. Like they were literally the hottest 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:57.720 team in the league. 0:07:57.820 --> 0:08:02.710 Hadn't they won like a ton in a row? I 0:08:02.750 --> 0:08:03.420 forget the number. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.680 Matthew Stafford had had 28 straight touchdowns without an interception 0:08:06.780 --> 0:08:08.800 and we broke that streak. So I just want to 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.780 say right now, like I was defeated. I had a 0:08:12.820 --> 0:08:15.340 defeatist attitude going into the Rams game last year. Maybe 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.400 that's why we won reverse Matt curse. I don't think 0:08:18.500 --> 0:08:21.280 this should be a defeatist attitude when y'all go to 0:08:21.300 --> 0:08:24.559 the bank. in your rain gear on Saturday night bone. 0:08:24.990 --> 0:08:28.890 Like this, this team, this Lions team is nowhere near 0:08:28.990 --> 0:08:32.050 what that Rams team was at least coming into the game. 0:08:32.450 --> 0:08:34.630 I think there, I think there's a lot of comparisons 0:08:34.670 --> 0:08:38.170 to that Rams game. I think there's very little comparisons, Matt, 0:08:38.190 --> 0:08:39.570 to the Packers game on the road. 0:08:39.929 --> 0:08:40.620 Cause that was a 16, 13 win. 0:08:42.179 --> 0:08:46.200 Bryce threw for 102 no touchdowns one int rico ran 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.160 for 125 i think the type of game will have 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.940 to be much more like that rams game yeah i 0:08:50.980 --> 0:08:53.340 can't see it yes it wasn't upset went on the 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.599 road that time but that game was kind of a 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.290 slugfest grinded out running game this is going to be 0:08:59.830 --> 0:09:01.870 this is going to be a lot of glory going 0:09:01.929 --> 0:09:03.370 on a lot of scoring galore and going. 0:09:03.250 --> 0:09:07.830 On scoring galore and uh That sounds like what's going 0:09:07.850 --> 0:09:11.430 to happen after I take Mississippi. No, it's not. It's not. 0:09:11.770 --> 0:09:13.910 I can't even lie. I can't even lie, y'all. I 0:09:13.910 --> 0:09:15.870 didn't know Texas Roadhouse brought up those kind of feelings. 0:09:16.230 --> 0:09:19.000 We have not decided on Roadhouse, y'all. Stop spreading rumors. 0:09:19.170 --> 0:09:19.460 All right? 0:09:19.500 --> 0:09:22.150 Stop spreading rumors. Well, you don't want the Roadhouse. You'll 0:09:22.170 --> 0:09:23.900 be at the Outback because there are going to be 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.439 too many people there on a Saturday night. That is true. 0:09:25.500 --> 0:09:27.699 I may pitch Outback because Roadhouse is too big of 0:09:27.740 --> 0:09:29.400 a line. I do want to get back for some 0:09:29.420 --> 0:09:30.819 college football. Don't get me wrong, y'all. 0:09:31.179 --> 0:09:31.979 All right, anyway. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.880 Now I need someone to scream at me about that. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.420 We have a guest on the line with a new feature, Mac, 0:09:37.460 --> 0:09:39.260 we came up with in the middle of the show, 0:09:39.700 --> 0:09:45.580 specifically for Sunday night because of the weather system coming in. 0:09:46.220 --> 0:09:48.850 So we thought, well, what weatherman can we get on 0:09:48.870 --> 0:09:51.890 the fly? Is it Brad Panovich? Is it Al Conklin? 0:09:52.250 --> 0:09:53.730 Is it Larry Sprinkler. 0:09:53.370 --> 0:09:55.030 Out of retirement? Yeah, who'd you get, man? Who'd you get? 0:09:55.050 --> 0:09:58.270 So we brought in Weatherman Mark for the update on 0:09:58.290 --> 0:09:59.390 the weather for Sunday night. 0:09:59.750 --> 0:09:59.970 Oh, shoot. 0:10:01.110 --> 0:10:03.090 I thought Conklin was walking down the hall right now. 0:10:03.170 --> 0:10:05.689 Weatherman Mark, this is your chance here, man. What's going on? 0:10:05.710 --> 0:10:06.450 Give us the update. 0:10:06.650 --> 0:10:08.510 Weatherman Mark, what's going on, baby? 0:10:09.610 --> 0:10:10.410 Hey, guys. 0:10:10.690 --> 0:10:13.790 Love you, man. It's going to be hot today, man. 0:10:13.860 --> 0:10:16.320 It's about like 67 right now. Saturday is going to 0:10:16.380 --> 0:10:23.410 be rainy. And thunderstorms with a 70% chance of rain. 0:10:23.429 --> 0:10:24.929 I didn't know we were getting a 10-day before we 0:10:24.950 --> 0:10:27.290 get to Sunday, Mark. Sunday night. I want to know 0:10:27.370 --> 0:10:27.989 Sunday night. 0:10:28.010 --> 0:10:28.790 I'm getting to Sunday. 0:10:28.970 --> 0:10:31.829 Game day. Game time conditions, Mark. 0:10:32.590 --> 0:10:36.920 Sunday, 40% chance of just showers. No lightning. 0:10:36.940 --> 0:10:38.179 That's good. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:39.140 So no delay then. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:44.760 It is going to be cold. Our last 80-degree day 0:10:44.860 --> 0:10:45.819 is Saturday. 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:46.260 Okay. 0:10:46.340 --> 0:10:50.560 Winston, the weather dog, Corgi, has already got his winter 0:10:51.540 --> 0:10:52.179 coat on. 0:10:52.660 --> 0:10:55.640 Winter coat already? Winter coat? What's wrong with that dog? 0:10:55.660 --> 0:10:56.679 No kidding. 0:10:56.700 --> 0:10:58.179 You baby that dog, don't you? 0:10:58.220 --> 0:11:02.060 They need to plan for a good running game just 0:11:02.179 --> 0:11:04.760 in case we get showers in the middle of the game. 0:11:04.780 --> 0:11:05.450 But it's going to. 0:11:05.420 --> 0:11:10.560 Be– About 65 degrees for game time. 0:11:10.700 --> 0:11:12.020 I like that. That's a good temperature. 0:11:12.059 --> 0:11:13.540 Now, I need to ask here, and I like the 0:11:13.580 --> 0:11:16.220 way you brought a little football analysis with your weather. 0:11:16.260 --> 0:11:19.420 That separates you from some of the other elite weather 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.990 personalities in Charlotte. I need to ask, though, what is 0:11:23.050 --> 0:11:25.870 the temperature need to be for Winston to have his 0:11:25.910 --> 0:11:28.230 winter coat on? Because I feel like you're babying Winston. 0:11:28.290 --> 0:11:30.250 I feel like Winston might be tough enough to handle 0:11:30.290 --> 0:11:32.150 what's going on, and maybe you baby him a little. 0:11:32.030 --> 0:11:32.350 Bit, Mark? 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.240 Yeah, I can't help. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:36.780 It. 0:11:37.500 --> 0:11:41.300 It's got to get down in about 70-something degrees. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.690 Okay, a coat for 70. Yeah, a coat for 70. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.800 But he already has a coat to begin with, right? 0:11:47.570 --> 0:11:48.770 He's already got the fur anyway. 0:11:49.590 --> 0:11:52.380 Yeah, he's already got it, man. He's got that undercoat. 0:11:52.429 --> 0:11:54.100 You know, he's a corgi, of course. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.059 All right, thank you, Mark. Of course, baby. All right, Mark. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.340 Appreciate it. Thank you for all the insight. You the man. 0:11:59.420 --> 0:12:00.240 Thank you. 0:12:00.260 --> 0:12:00.440 All right. 0:12:00.460 --> 0:12:01.400 You guys have a great one. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:02.160 You too, Mark. 0:12:02.179 --> 0:12:03.760 Thank you, man. 0:12:04.059 --> 0:12:05.319 We got it, baby. We got it. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.160 Hey, is it possible I could wear Winston's jacket to 0:12:08.179 --> 0:12:08.470 the game? 0:12:09.790 --> 0:12:10.250 I dumped him. 0:12:10.630 --> 0:12:11.130 Okay. 0:12:11.150 --> 0:12:14.600 All right. Maybe for the best. Maybe for the best. 0:12:15.170 --> 0:12:16.420 I have to tell you. I didn't know we were 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:17.660 doing a 10-day there. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.280 That was so funny the way he started going the 0:12:19.300 --> 0:12:21.400 whole way through the weekend. It's like we literally want 0:12:21.420 --> 0:12:25.460 to know 820 to like 1130. That's like literally all 0:12:25.500 --> 0:12:27.760 we wanted to know. But there's a charm to Mark. 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.959 I feel like there's a charm there. People seem to 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:30.980 have enjoyed that bone. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.270 Matt, would you like Al Conklin's actual forecast for the game? 0:12:34.830 --> 0:12:36.650 He put it up this morning on his Twitter feed. 0:12:37.170 --> 0:12:40.370 at Al Conklin's. We'll get the actual weather report for 0:12:40.530 --> 0:12:43.550 Al on Sunday. First alert, rain will be heaviest and 0:12:43.590 --> 0:12:47.580 most widespread Saturday night, lasting through midday on Sunday. Rain 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.300 may tamper down to scattered showers by Sunday evening, so 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.040 ponchos may be a good bet for the game. Sunday 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.959 will be quite cool, so it doesn't seem like there's 0:12:54.980 --> 0:12:57.420 going to be a major in-game rainstorm. 0:12:57.460 --> 0:13:01.570 That's good. That's good. Apparently. I put my corgi in 0:13:01.610 --> 0:13:03.930 his winter outfit. That was hilarious. 0:13:04.070 --> 0:13:06.750 According to Hawaiian Ham, the texter, not the actual meat, 0:13:07.630 --> 0:13:10.240 Brad Panovich tweeted us, Bone, and said, feel free to 0:13:10.270 --> 0:13:12.360 call him for the weather news. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.819 We could do that. The only thing is, are you 0:13:14.860 --> 0:13:15.540 going to be as funny? 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.420 Oh yeah, Brad listens at the eight o'clock hour. 0:13:17.460 --> 0:13:19.360 What was he thinking on weatherman Mark came. 0:13:19.260 --> 0:13:21.450 On brad are you gonna be as silly as weatherman 0:13:21.490 --> 0:13:24.150 mark like i like you're the true professional i feel 0:13:24.190 --> 0:13:26.590 like you're too professional for the mac and bone show. 0:13:26.410 --> 0:13:29.689 Brad you have all these weather instruments and dopplers and 0:13:29.809 --> 0:13:32.290 all these special things but do you have we don't 0:13:32.309 --> 0:13:34.970 need your science brad you don't have winston the weather 0:13:34.990 --> 0:13:40.459 corgi did i have i ever told y'all that about 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.240 my daughter caitlin she's 13 her theory about mrs mac 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.410 and brad panovich What's that? 0:13:46.500 --> 0:13:49.520 Have I ever told you this? I don't know. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:54.660 Anytime like Boat is very concerned right now. Anytime that 0:13:54.740 --> 0:13:58.870 there is a storm, a possible winter storm, my wife 0:13:58.900 --> 0:14:02.090 cannot stop telling everybody in the house what Brad tweeted out. 0:14:02.690 --> 0:14:06.150 Brad said this. Brad said that. And I've joked to 0:14:06.190 --> 0:14:09.030 her like, my God, here we go. Any threat of snow. 0:14:09.100 --> 0:14:11.099 And I got to hear about Brad all the damn time. 0:14:11.700 --> 0:14:16.100 And Caitlin's theory is that mom likes Brad more than dad. 0:14:16.540 --> 0:14:19.750 And that is Caitlin's theory. I think that's probably the 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:20.650 case in most households. 0:14:20.790 --> 0:14:21.230 Yeah. 0:14:21.630 --> 0:14:22.230 Poor Mac. 0:14:23.070 --> 0:14:25.450 If he ran for mayor, let's be honest, he's winning. 0:14:27.130 --> 0:14:29.440 And then he struck me out when we played softball together. 0:14:29.460 --> 0:14:32.560 I had to tell Mrs. Mac that. But anyway, yeah, 0:14:32.620 --> 0:14:36.470 we have to tell Caitlin that, no, your mother likes— Oh, yeah. 0:14:36.590 --> 0:14:39.250 We think your mother likes Dad more than Brad. Brad 0:14:39.270 --> 0:14:40.590 tweeted the Mac and Bone show account. 0:14:40.630 --> 0:14:41.910 Hit me up. There you go, Brad. 0:14:41.950 --> 0:14:44.000 Well, Brad just probably heard about how he creates an 0:14:44.030 --> 0:14:45.420 interesting dynamic in the household. 0:14:45.500 --> 0:14:51.370 We're going to chart Brad versus Weatherman Mark in their forecasts. 0:14:51.830 --> 0:14:53.830 Oh, man, that could be a battle right there, baby. 0:14:53.870 --> 0:14:56.470 Winter weather battle. Weatherman Mark had it first. 0:14:57.950 --> 0:15:01.530 When we come back, Cole Bryson does radio down there 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.140 in South Carolina, covers Clemson in South Carolina. We're going 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.780 to talk about Clemson's chances against Miami and also the 0:15:08.820 --> 0:15:11.580 hot seat that Shane Beamer is on. All Palmetto State 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.080 football talk next on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:15:34.570 --> 0:15:35.110 Oh, man. 0:15:36.340 --> 0:15:39.540 Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:15:39.580 --> 0:15:42.250 Mack and Bone with you. It's been a lively one today. 0:15:44.550 --> 0:15:46.510 I'm on edge. A lot of Panther injuries. I think 0:15:46.530 --> 0:15:47.790 we're on edge. I think we're on edge. I've not 0:15:47.830 --> 0:15:48.310 even noticed. 0:15:48.530 --> 0:15:52.230 Sunday night football for the first time in Carolina in 0:15:52.230 --> 0:15:55.210 11 dang years. And I just want the boys to 0:15:55.250 --> 0:15:57.270 show out, man. I just want them to show out, 0:15:57.340 --> 0:16:00.100 even with all the missing guys. If you missed any 0:16:00.180 --> 0:16:02.440 of today's show, go check it out. Check the hours 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:07.200 you missed in podcast form out at WFNZ.com, Apple, Spotify. 0:16:07.620 --> 0:16:08.860 Wherever you get your podcasts. 0:16:09.180 --> 0:16:11.250 And yes, I will answer the question that someone will 0:16:11.330 --> 0:16:14.410 ask Bone. Where's Mac yelling at Fitty? That is at, 0:16:14.990 --> 0:16:17.870 what is that, about 650-something, 652 or so? 0:16:17.890 --> 0:16:20.300 Yeah, it was during the couch potato guide, so that 0:16:20.340 --> 0:16:22.600 was around 652 or so. Right at the end of 0:16:22.620 --> 0:16:26.580 hour one. And it felt like it ended around 751. 0:16:28.020 --> 0:16:30.620 Oh, man. I don't know. I don't know, baby. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.570 But right now, though, let's talk a little bit of 0:16:33.610 --> 0:16:36.590 college football and let's talk a little bit of Palmetto 0:16:36.650 --> 0:16:42.710 State college football specifically. Clemson has, you know, gotten their 0:16:42.750 --> 0:16:45.670 footing back a little bit, Boney, the last couple of weeks. 0:16:45.950 --> 0:16:49.190 I don't know if that helps tomorrow night, but they 0:16:49.250 --> 0:16:51.690 certainly have got their footing back the last game and 0:16:51.710 --> 0:16:55.890 a half or so. South Carolina desperately looking for footing. 0:16:56.270 --> 0:16:59.010 And let's talk this through with one of our favorites 0:16:59.050 --> 0:17:02.670 down there in the Palmetto State. He is Cole Bryson, 0:17:02.790 --> 0:17:06.190 and he joins us from the fan upstate down there 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.970 in South Kakalaki. Cole, what's going on, man? How are 0:17:08.990 --> 0:17:10.380 things down there in South Carolina? 0:17:11.220 --> 0:17:13.659 Man, they're good. Listen, I heard you complaining about all 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.950 the Panther injuries and, you know, a huge Sunday night game. Listen, 0:17:16.990 --> 0:17:20.830 we can't all be Cleveland. We can't all be 3-1, okay? 0:17:21.390 --> 0:17:23.650 We all want to be, but that's reality. 0:17:24.450 --> 0:17:25.580 We can't be Cleveland. 0:17:25.630 --> 0:17:28.080 I thought about spinning it today, Cole, of, hey, maybe 0:17:28.100 --> 0:17:30.359 the Panthers can get Cleveland revenge if they meet in 0:17:30.380 --> 0:17:30.920 the Super Bowl. 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.260 With the way the Browns are going right now. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.720 We'll see you again in the day of Superbowl on 0:17:36.780 --> 0:17:40.340 Valentine's day, baby. All right, man, let's talk about your 0:17:40.380 --> 0:17:43.040 teams down there. I don't want to be rude and 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.000 not acknowledge that y'all have had some football stress down 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.550 there too. Let's start with the Tigers. Do you look, 0:17:49.570 --> 0:17:51.730 so what do you think about what they've accomplished, Cole? 0:17:51.770 --> 0:17:55.469 How do you view the rally against North Carolina? the 0:17:55.530 --> 0:17:59.190 win on the road against Cal, like how encouraging should 0:17:59.230 --> 0:18:02.889 that be? Or do we look at the opponents and say, ah, 0:18:02.930 --> 0:18:04.109 we shouldn't be all that impressed. 0:18:04.150 --> 0:18:04.630 What do you think? 0:18:05.390 --> 0:18:07.830 You know, I think two things can be true, right? 0:18:07.890 --> 0:18:10.530 Like you have rallied the troops a little bit. You 0:18:10.609 --> 0:18:14.030 have played more inspiring football. And if you look at 0:18:14.109 --> 0:18:19.189 statistically guys, since that LSU game, Clemson statistically defensively has 0:18:19.260 --> 0:18:22.420 been pretty good. Now, again, going back to what I said, 0:18:22.460 --> 0:18:25.720 two things can be true. All that's fine and dandy 0:18:25.740 --> 0:18:28.420 until Miami punches you in the mouth on Saturday night, 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.399 and then you go back to, oh, wait, who did 0:18:30.420 --> 0:18:32.859 we play? We played a North Carolina team that was better, 0:18:33.220 --> 0:18:36.100 not great, Cal that wasn't as good offensively as we 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.030 thought they would be, and we know the other. So, yes, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.490 they have looked better. Clemson's defense specifically, you look at 0:18:43.550 --> 0:18:45.850 the numbers that they've given up in the past three 0:18:45.890 --> 0:18:51.350 games overall, under 15 points per game. This Tom Allen defense, 0:18:51.390 --> 0:18:55.220 the secondary especially, is playing really well. They've got guys 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:56.800
