00:00Yesterday, so Bill, he takes the field.
00:03Everyone's out there.
00:05Everyone except for Desmond Howard picks North Carolina.
00:09Teddy Bruschi, surprisingly.
00:11Randy Moss, surprisingly, picks.
00:13I mean, they're obviously analyzing this thing like there's no tomorrow.
00:18They're on top of everything.
00:19Bill Belichick's got 70 new players on this team,
00:23and he's been really putting them through their paces.
00:25So the game starts, and up and down the field go the North Carolina Tar Heels,
00:34and boom-da-boom-boom-boom, and they score that touchdown,
00:37and then nothing happens again.
00:39And they pull their quarterback and everything else,
00:42and they end up getting absolutely destroyed 48-14, which was fantastic.
00:47So there's no way that they could ever in a million years,
00:49under any circumstances now, make the playoff.
00:53There's just no way.
00:54I don't care if they win the ACC.
00:56There's no way that they could make the college playoff.
00:58There's just none.
00:59You don't take a loss like that to TCU at home and win it,
01:02unless you're like Alabama or something.
01:04They're not going to grandfather North Carolina in.
01:08And so now, look, this schedule is ludicrous, and it's how easy it is.
01:14They're at Charlotte, where I would imagine.
01:17If they lose that, that's great.
01:18Well, Charlotte lost to Appalachian State by over 15 points.
01:22Yeah, Appalachian State beat Michigan one year.
01:24That's true.
01:24Oh, that's one of the greatest games ever.
01:27Appalachian State beat Michigan one year.
01:29Ruined their season in week one.
01:31Yes, indeed.
01:32Oh, my God.
01:32Paid them over a million dollars to be there and then lost.
01:34And then they play Richmond at home.
01:37Richmond, who just lost to Lehigh by a touchdown last week.
01:40Yeah, so I'm guessing that those are not the worst things in the world.
01:45And so then they're at UCF, which I would imagine they lose that game.
01:50There's no way they're beating Clemson, and then so on and so forth.
01:54So what did UCF do?
01:56And UCF is an 83% favorite, close to 84% favorite to win that game.
02:02Bill somehow, despite the six Super Bowls, unable to attract talent to North Carolina.
02:10And here we were under the assumption that he was able to do that.
02:16But after watching college football this weekend, just much like there was the Brady-Belichick
02:23debate, is there the Patricia-Belichick debate?
02:27Because Patricia, as defensive coordinator of Ohio State, held Arch Manning and the Texas
02:35Longhorns to seven points, while Bill Belichick gave up 48 to Texas Christian University.
02:43Who was not ranked.
02:44Who was only a three-and-a-half-point favorite.
02:47Bill and his spawn, you know, just genetically engineered for great defense.
02:52Gary Myers, get him on the phone, because Brady versus Belichick is coming out later this
02:57month.
02:57Perhaps Brady versus Patricia should be coming out as well.
03:01Was Bill just a beneficiary of greater football minds?
03:05He's such a dope.
03:07What an idiot.
03:08He can't even, a six-time Super Bowl coach, bring 70 kids in.
03:13First of all, well done.
03:15That'll all get cohesive right away.
03:17You'd have to have two coaches on staff just to help you remember names.
03:21Well, Lombardi brought him in.
03:23That's a good point.
03:24Lombardi brought him in.
03:25And the great Mike Lombardi, hey, the GM of the team.
03:28I liked seeing him up in the booth last night, too.
03:30Oh, and I also liked in the pregame people saying that, you know, they got like a Super
03:37Bowl-winning GM in there, you know, Mike Lombardi.
03:40Like, not a total idiot that is one of, you know, says yes to Belichick and spent 15 years
03:47kissing his ass.
03:48So that's why he has the job.
03:50Belichick surrounds himself.
03:52And this is unfair to his kids, because especially Brian, I heard, is intelligent.
03:57But he does, and this doesn't count as kids.
04:01But he does surround himself with fools.
04:04He really does.
04:05Steven was really good as a defensive coordinator on his own last year, too.
04:08Well, he was at Oregon, too, who has NIL money.
04:11Or Washington, who has NIL money that you wouldn't believe.
04:14But nonetheless, how long until the fans of North Carolina football go, oh, I don't like
04:24you anymore?
04:25It's going to be, again, they have two opponents, maybe three, Central Florida.
04:29They lost to TCU, though, John, and beating Charlotte and Richmond is not going to.
04:33They are so thirsty.
04:35UNC's been so mediocre to poor for so long.
04:37And then you lost at home 48-14 on a Monday night game with national media there, Jonathan.
04:42I know that, but if they wind up 3-1, regardless of who.
04:45They're not going to end up 3-1.
04:47Regardless of who the opponents are.
04:48They're going to end up 2-2.
04:49Okay.
04:50They're not beating UCF at UCF.
04:52UCF just barely beat Jacksonville State by seven in week one.
04:56UCF is a...
04:58I know they're favorites, and I know they're 83%, whatever.
05:01All I'm saying is, I know nothing about UCF football other than what I just told you.
05:05My point is, it wasn't a blowout win in week one.
05:08They could be 3-1.
05:09North Carolina fans conveniently will forget that they just got curb stomped by a decent
05:14FBS team.
05:15Tar Heel is a loser.
05:16You think that, like, North Carolina is not a town that doesn't know about sports, college
05:25sports.
05:26Now, I know it's a basketball town, but they're not naive enough to go, oh, things are great.
05:32They just beat Charlotte.
05:33No.
05:34No.
05:35But they're not beating UCF.
05:37Okay.
05:37They're not.
05:38All right.
05:38You saw that team.
05:40They can't...
05:41They're terrible.
05:41He somehow managed...
05:44Well, he doesn't need one, because, you know, he doesn't need a quarterback.
05:47He's, you know, he proved that by letting Brady go.
05:50He can let...
05:51You can get anyone to just use his system.
05:53Right.
05:54He doesn't have a kid who can play quarterback.
05:57Their defense is terrible.
05:59What part of that team did you see that you went, oh, that...
06:04Their kicker on the first extra point, I thought he missed it.
06:08I thought he missed it, too.
06:08No, I thought what I saw is what we've seen in New England and around the NFL, just to
06:13be fair, a great seven-play opening drive, a great scripted seven-play drive, and you
06:20saw the defense get a stop on their first trip out there.
06:23But other than that...
06:25They were awful.
06:26Awful.
06:26Beyond awful.
06:27But by the way, this just was a year of purgatory for him to get back into the NFL.
06:32I wonder how long he's got this job.
06:36If he loses, all right, beats Charlotte and Richmond, he's two and one, loses to UCF
06:43in Clemson, that makes him two and three.
06:47Say he finishes this season with six wins.
06:50I think that's optimistic.
06:51I think based on what we saw last night, you figure five wins.
06:55If he wins five games, they fire him?
06:56No.
06:57They don't.
06:58Because they'll make that convenient excuse.
07:00Oh, we got 70 new guys in.
07:02Let them settle in.
07:03Well, maybe don't bring 70 new guys in.
07:05They made a bowl last year.
07:07Didn't Carolina play in the Fenway Bowl last year?
07:10I think you're right about that.
07:11They made a bowl last year.
07:12They were 500 last year.
07:14I think they finished six and seven after they lost a bowl game.
07:17Okay.
07:17But if they win five games, the excuse will be, okay, he's just settling in.
07:23He had to bring in all these new players.
07:25Let's give his program time.
07:27I bet you he gets another year.
07:28My thing would be he's the highest state employee in the state.
07:32Sure.
07:32You brought him in as a genius, someone to turn this program around, and you don't get
07:39a year.
07:40You don't get a year.
07:42Like, you know, Debo Samuel doesn't get a year.
07:48Debo Samuel.
07:50He didn't get a year.
07:52I think he should make 10 pounds all a year.
07:54Do you think this coach at Alabama is going to get a lot of time?
07:59No.
08:00Debo or he could be gone after this year.
08:02I'm glad you mentioned Alabama because former Alabama head coach and, let's see, a current
08:09ESPN host and a bunch of people all made their picks before the game started.
08:15Yeah, I mentioned that.
08:16Yeah, yeah.
08:17I don't know.
08:18Oh, I'm sorry.
08:19No, it's okay.
08:19I was actually talking to Ryan so we could have the audio just to do a quick count of
08:24like who picked what and specifically what they had to say about it.
08:28Okay, we'll come back with why they picked it because, yeah, Brewski was there.
08:32Desmond Howard's the only guy who picked against them.
08:34But, yeah, we'll have why they – you should – by the way, fade Feinbaum.
08:40Feinbaum, who I love, was wrong on everything.
08:42And, by the way, we should get Feinbaum audio today.
08:44Oh, yeah.
08:45For sure.
08:46We got it.
08:46But Feinbaum was –
08:48Ric Flair took him down.
08:49Don't worry about it.
08:50If you faded Feinbaum, you won every bet.
08:53Fred, you're exaggerating.
08:55No, I'm not.
08:56You won every bet.
08:57Every bet.
08:59He took Notre Dame.
09:01He took Alabama.
09:02He took Texas.
09:04Oh, boy.
09:04But we need to monitor all these people today.
09:06Oh, they're going to be going nuts.
09:07We're so sure about North Carolina.
09:09Oh, they're going to be going nuts.
09:10But about anything.
09:11But we need Feinbaum tomorrow.
