Speaker 1 (00:00):
But we have to talk about another crazy weekend in
college football, certainly a disappointing weekend for Clemson fans as
they fell to Duke in a shootout. Dabo Sweeney does
not sound at all like Dabo Sweeney. Controversial pass interference
call is part of that game. Maybe controversial is putting
it lightly. And I've seen the comments of our next
guest and it does not bode well I think for
(00:21):
the current and even the immediate future of Clemson football,
and that would be Eric McLain, ACC Network College football
analyst former Clemson Tiger offensive lineman eMac is back with
us for a Monday conversation. Eric, how are you, buddy?
I appreciate the time.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I was gonna make some you know, spiel there about
how you know, depressed I am, and you know, ready
for twenty six But all all is well, Man football
is great.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Well, you're also coming off of squat sober and I
have seen you on the Star Trecks, so I mean,
I know you're feeling strong physically, You're feeling good emotionally
maybe not so much. And in all seriousness, yea, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Physically strong emotionally.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Mentally, all the above, just dream yeah, uh yeah, it's
all good man. You know, it's a tough game, right
like you when you see, you know, Clemson scores the
most points they did this season, offense finally looks great,
and uh, defense can't stop a bloody nose, and you're
just like, you have got to be kidding me. It
is something different each and every week for this team.
(01:18):
That there were so many emotions.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And I will let me preface it by.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Saying this, everything that you saw is normal, like in
a football game from a fans perspective, like that's what
happens all the time. Now, is there a little bit
more juice because of the frequency that it was happening. Yeah,
but but guys are busting and having m a's and
not doing their jobs. So that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Like some of these folks you know, on social media and.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Other places are trying to blow it like way out
of proportion of Oh my god, Dado's never done done this.
I have had my butt shewed by that dude a
hundred times. That's is what it is, right, and uh,
you know, but at the end of the day, it
is nowhere near the standard. It's quite disappointing. And it's
just like I said, it's a different problem for a
different week for the Clemson Tigers.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
People keep telling me that Clemson South Carolina is going
to decide whether or not somebody keeps a job. And
I don't know if I believe that. Like, I'm not
sure if I believe that on either side South Carolina
or Clemson. But I have had even some Clemson fans
tell me, you know, I don't know. Man, Dabo didn't
look like himself. He sounded bad. If they lose to
South Carolina, man, this might be the end. Like what's
your take on that?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, I would ask him, what does that mean? Like
Clemson's not firing them? I mean, it's a sixty million
dollars by I don't know if you've seen Clemson's financials,
where's that coming from? Right? Like for a program that
you know is trying to find every piece of revenue
they can. I don't think they're just chalking up sixty
mili to get rid of the best coach in their
history by far. And even with that, I don't think
(02:47):
that's cost anybody's mind. Even if it wasn't sixty million
I don't think that's you know, a piece that your administration,
board president, anybody is thinking logically there.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
There's just some things that need to happen and to
kind of go back to do it, you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Know, is it for beam Er maybe? And is that
already written that that's done. I don't know, because it's
very interesting. It's not funny, but it is comical in
a sense. It's kind of I guess, dark humor that
you know, you had such high expectations for both these
programs and both of these coaches look so miserable, are
just exhausted, defeated, don't know why, don't know how, and
(03:23):
that that is college football. And the fact that it
happened to the two you know, major colleges in our
state of South Carolina. It's just it's crazy and it
is comical.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It is It is Eric McClain, ACC Network college football
analyst here with us on a Monday. You know this
about me, but I'll just declare it again out loud.
I hate Miami like I am a I sports hate
the Miami Hurricanes and I always have and I actually
hate them even more today than I did a couple
of days ago because I begrudgingly admitted a couple of
weeks ago that I thought they were one of the
(03:54):
best teams in the country, that Mario Cristabaal had built,
this incredible team that was so physical upfront. You know,
they could go head to head with X, Y and
Z and I look like a moron today. And so
why I stunk for a team that I hate and
hate admitting nice things about and they've made me look
stupid all over again? Is what's happened to Miami?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, man, I know that feeling.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's the absolutely worst.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And the fact that you even had to double down
makes it so much worse.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm sure that makes sure hate so much strong. It's
just grass to use for, you know, feeling something right now.
I'm probably happy for you, But now it's.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Shocking, man. It really is about, you know, just the
downward spiral that you know we've seen from them. I mean,
a team that everything you said was true in the
moment that they were physically just killing people, bullying guys
on both lines of scrimmage, getting to the quarterback, protecting
their quarterback, taking care of the football, running the football
at will, and then they just stopped. And I don't know,
(04:49):
if you want to, you know, chalk that up to
increase competition.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Because I think they played a.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Couple of really nice teams to start the year with
Notre Dame in Florida and US up, but.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
As of recently, it's just.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It looks like a different team.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And I think the frustrating part of that for me,
just from a.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Conference representative from somebody that you know, literally has acc
network in their title, you know, when they're.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Introduced and things of that nature. It pisces me off
because like teams.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Can never capitalize in this conference. You have all the Jews,
you have all the momentum people talking about you is
a top four seed, and then you just.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Piss it away, you know, and you can't hold on.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You can't do it, you can't make it happen. And
that's Miami, that's FSU, that's SMU. I mean the list
of Georgia Tech. You know, they're not they're not a
part of this. It's just year after year and we,
unfortunately in this league do not have the benefit of
the doubt that the Big ten have for some reason,
I don't know why. The SEC obviously deservedly so that oh,
(05:50):
it's a deep conference. Oh no, it's a competitive conference.
When things like this happen, when the acc it happens, Oh,
they just suck. And it's it's so frustrating for me
to have to deal with that because we sit and
we scream and we I don't scream, but we say
these points and we talk about all this and that,
and then they go and lose to a losing record
(06:10):
NC State team. They go and lose to a SMU
team that just got embarrassed by.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Wake Forest, and you're just like, what the hell are
we doing? It makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, and stay on NC State in Georgia Tech because
if you had told me that State was going to
upset Georgia Tech, I would have been surprised, but I
would not have been shocked by it. But I mean,
for them to score forty eight points against an eight
to zero what I thought was very physical Georgia Tech team.
I mean, you tip your cap to CJ. Bailey, to
Jayden Scott of course, who was just you know, a
biscuit shive two hundred yards rushing. But like, how does
(06:38):
that happen to that spot for Georgia Tech.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
When you would be surprised when I tell you NC
State down their top three best players, right, one of
the best running.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Backs in the ACC, the best pass catcher.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
On the team, and justin Joe Lee Alignment and a
couple of defensive players. Then you'd be like, they're going
to lose by forty and.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's exactly what we thought, and somehow.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They win almost twenty And it's just it's college football,
I guess, is what you chalk it up to, because
it truly does not make any sense. I know that
place is hard to play, play there many times, been
there many more, and they were as rowdy as all
get out, like it was fun from a college football perspective,
from a NC State perspective to hear that crowd and
(07:19):
how ruckous they were and to see the storming of
the field. But CJ.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Bailey played like I thought he could all year. And
I think that's another reason why I get so frustrated,
because just what you said.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
About Miami, how how just teams can make you look
so dumb. I went and saw NC State in person
and was at their camp and laid eyes on the
bodies and the guys that they had and the things
that they were running I'm like, Damn, this might be
a really good team. I mean, they've got some guys
and then they go out and lay egg after egg
and then have the audacity to beat a top ten
(07:52):
team in the country. I mean, it just it makes
no sense at all. But I think it did further
prove my thinking of CJ. Bailey as one of the
best in the country. I think he can be a
bona fide superstar coming in the next year.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
All right, be honest with me about North Carolina Syracuse. Okay,
I think North Carolina fans should absolutely and rightly celebrate
picking up their first ACC win. I have no problem
with that whatsoever. You can only beat who's on your schedule.
I also have eyeballs, and I know exactly how bad
Syracuse is right now, So like, I don't know, like,
what's the amount, what's the proper amount of praise for
(08:23):
North Carolina beating a walk on quarterback, former lacrosse player
who probably should still be playing lacrosse if we're all
being honest about it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, man, Syracuse just went out and like fired
three of their coaches today, So I think that tells
you kind of what it is like with their quarterback,
coach or receiver. I mean it's like you look at
their staff pictures from two days ago in today, it's
a completely different deal. So I think that kind of
tells you where they are.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And you know, get kudos to Carolina getting a dove.
It's great, it's huge.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It is what it is. Whatever you can reach, whatever
you can manipulate a stat to be congratulations, you know,
and I think we have seen them getting better though
I have been you know, pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
On them and things of that nature, just because of.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The uh, you know, the phrasing of things coming out
of that camp, you know, especially in the preseason. But
we've seen some progress and we've seen some guys step up.
So certainly a foundation that you know, some things are
happening right now that you can feel good about building into, uh,
you know, the off season, in winter training and then
when you get into the spring.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I just got a text from a UVA fan. I
nearly choked, are vomited a little bit. They just screaming, wah,
who want me on the text line right now? They
are number there's the number one team in the conference.
I mean they're they're five and oh in the ACC.
They're eight and one. I still think that's a typo
when I see it, but they really are. They're eight
and one. They're five and oh in ACC play, and
they handled Cal on the road this weekend. Like I
(09:45):
don't know, man, is this team gonna win the a
CEC Championship? What's about to happen here?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah? Listen, man, I'm done with predicting any and every
who's gonna be in Charlotte, who's winning Charlotte because as
soon as I do that, that team loses.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
So I don't want to c the who's I.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Don't want to curse UVA here and say that because
as soon as I do, you're gonna lose. The wake
Forest who just got embarrassed by Florida State, who just
beat somehow SMU.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So that's the craziness. Coastal Chaos is so is very
alive and well right now. Uh in the ACC, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Just overtaking the entire league. But I will say this,
We're headed to Charlottesville this week in the ACC huddle.
I cannot wait to be there. I love my brother,
coach Elliott and the things he's doing. Uh just to
see uh, you know, old Morris back there slinging that
rock around. Man Chandler's look great, and they're finding a
way that they finally, you know, there was a run
there for two or three games where they were trying
everything they could to lose a game. They finally, you know,
(10:38):
we're playing some complimentary football, running the ball very well,
not turning it over. Uh, and that defense was electure
got a bunch of turnovers, sat game winning pick six.
I mean that was sweet.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You tried a couple of weeks ago to sell me
on your ACC network colleague Jimbo Fisher to Blacksburg. I
don't think that's where this is trending, but I do
see him being his name being involved in what is
now amounting to many many openings across the sport. Who's
most likely to pluck Jimbo off your ACC network set?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, that's y'all's damn fall for not hurrying up and
signing the deal. You could have got it done. But
I think you're getting James Franklin, which I honestly I
am ecstatic about it. I'll let you, you know, kind
of touch on that in a second. But there's a
lot of openings Van, and I think there's many more
coming and you know, the interesting thing to me is
are there that many super high quality head coaches out
(11:29):
there that you feel really good about.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I don't know other jobs opening, so I for sure.
I mean, Jimbo's going somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And I think he's great, and I think he's gonna
have a really fun comeback story. I mean, look at
his quarterbacks and what they're doing across college football right
now with Wegman at Houston, with obviously the guy that
is there now and Marcel Reid, and of course with
Haines King. I mean, those guys are balling. You're talking
about a couple of Heisman candidates. So he clearly, you know,
(11:58):
does what he does best.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
If he can just keep him.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Healthy, that'll be the biggest thing. And when he gets
back in this man, it's going to be really fun.
But openings galore. It doesn't make sense hour why it
happens or when it happens, but hey, we're.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Gonna have a bunch of new faces a lot of different.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Places, all right, Buddy, listen, I appreciate you always look
forward to these conversations. I know it's a tough time
for you right now. We're going to get through it together. Man,
we'll talk to you next Monday.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
My Man appreciates you always. Brother, have a great show.
But we have to talk about another crazy weekend in
college football, certainly a disappointing weekend for Clemson fans as
they fell to Duke in a shootout. Dabo Sweeney does
not sound at all like Dabo Sweeney. Controversial pass interference
call is part of that game. Maybe controversial is putting
it lightly. And I've seen the comments of our next
guest and it does not bode well I think for
(00:21):
the current and even the immediate future of Clemson football,
and that would be Eric McLain, ACC Network College football
analyst former Clemson Tiger offensive lineman eMac is back with
us for a Monday conversation. Eric, how are you, buddy?
I appreciate the time.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I was gonna make some you know, spiel there about
how you know, depressed I am, and you know, ready
for twenty six But all all is well, Man football
is great.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Well, you're also coming off of squat sober and I
have seen you on the Star Trecks, so I mean,
I know you're feeling strong physically, You're feeling good emotionally
maybe not so much. And in all seriousness, yea, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Physically strong emotionally.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Mentally, all the above, just dream yeah, uh yeah, it's
all good man. You know, it's a tough game, right
like you when you see, you know, Clemson scores the
most points they did this season, offense finally looks great,
and uh, defense can't stop a bloody nose, and you're
just like, you have got to be kidding me. It

sure if I believe that on either side South Carolina
or Clemson. But I have had even some Clemson fans
tell me, you know, I don't know. Man, Dabo didn't
look like himself. He sounded bad. If they lose to
South Carolina, man, this might be the end. Like what's
your take on that?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, I would ask him, what does that mean? Like
Clemson's not firing them? I mean, it's a sixty million
dollars by I don't know if you've seen Clemson's financials,
where's that coming from? Right? Like for a program that
you know is trying to find every piece of revenue
they can. I don't think they're just chalking up sixty

I hate Miami like I am a I sports hate

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, man, I know that feeling.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's the absolutely worst.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And the fact that you even had to double down
makes it so much worse.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm sure that makes sure hate so much strong. It's
just grass to use for, you know, feeling something right now.
I'm probably happy for you, But now it's.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Shocking, man. It really is about, you know, just the

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
When you would be surprised when I tell you NC
State down their top three best players, right, one of
the best running.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Backs in the ACC, the best pass catcher.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
On the team, and justin Joe Lee Alignment and a

to lose by forty and.
Speaker 3 (06:56):

I think that's another reason why I get so frustrated,

Speaker 2 (07:30):
About Miami, how how just teams can make you look

prove my thinking of CJ. Bailey as one of the
best in the country. I think he can be a
bona fide superstar coming in the next year.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
All right, be honest with me about North Carolina Syracuse. Okay,
I think North Carolina fans should absolutely and rightly celebrate
picking up their first ACC win. I have no problem
with that whatsoever. You can only beat who's on your schedule.
I also have eyeballs, and I know exactly how bad
Syracuse is right now, So like, I don't know, like,
what's the amount, what's the proper amount of praise for
(08:23):
North Carolina beating a walk on quarterback, former lacrosse player
who probably should still be playing lacrosse if we're all
being honest about it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, man, Syracuse just went out and like fired
three of their coaches today, So I think that tells
you kind of what it is like with their quarterback,
coach or receiver. I mean it's like you look at
their staff pictures from two days ago in today, it's
a completely different deal. So I think that kind of
tells you where they are.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And you know, get kudos to Carolina getting a dove.
It's great, it's huge.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It is what it is. Whatever you can reach, whatever
you can manipulate a stat to be congratulations, you know,
and I think we have seen them getting better though
I have been you know, pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
On them and things of that nature, just because of.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The uh, you know, the phrasing of things coming out
of that camp, you know, especially in the preseason. But
we've seen some progress and we've seen some guys step up.
So certainly a foundation that you know, some things are
happening right now that you can feel good about building into, uh,
you know, the off season, in winter training and then
when you get into the spring.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I just got a text from a UVA fan. I
nearly choked, are vomited a little bit. They just screaming, wah,
who want me on the text line right now? They
are number there's the number one team in the conference.
I mean they're they're five and oh in the ACC.
They're eight and one. I still think that's a typo
when I see it, but they really are. They're eight
and one. They're five and oh in ACC play, and
they handled Cal on the road this weekend. Like I
(09:45):
don't know, man, is this team gonna win the a
CEC Championship? What's about to happen here?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah? Listen, man, I'm done with predicting any and every
who's gonna be in Charlotte, who's winning Charlotte because as
soon as I do that, that team loses.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
So I don't want to c the who's I.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Don't want to curse UVA here and say that because
as soon as I do, you're gonna lose. The wake
Forest who just got embarrassed by Florida State, who just
beat somehow SMU.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So that's the craziness. Coastal Chaos is so is very
alive and well right now. Uh in the ACC, it's.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Just overtaking the entire league. But I will say this,
We're headed to Charlottesville this week in the ACC huddle.
I cannot wait to be there. I love my brother,
coach Elliott and the things he's doing. Uh just to
see uh, you know, old Morris back there slinging that
rock around. Man Chandler's look great, and they're finding a
way that they finally, you know, there was a run
there for two or three games where they were trying
everything they could to lose a game. They finally, you know,
(10:38):
we're playing some complimentary football, running the ball very well,
not turning it over. Uh, and that defense was electure
got a bunch of turnovers, sat game winning pick six.
I mean that was sweet.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You tried a couple of weeks ago to sell me
on your ACC network colleague Jimbo Fisher to Blacksburg. I
don't think that's where this is trending, but I do
see him being his name being involved in what is
now amounting to many many openings across the sport. Who's
most likely to pluck Jimbo off your ACC network set?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, that's y'all's damn fall for not hurrying up and
signing the deal. You could have got it done. But
I think you're getting James Franklin, which I honestly I
am ecstatic about it. I'll let you, you know, kind
of touch on that in a second. But there's a
lot of openings Van, and I think there's many more
coming and you know, the interesting thing to me is
are there that many super high quality head coaches out
(11:29):
there that you feel really good about.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I don't know other jobs opening, so I for sure.
I mean, Jimbo's going somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And I think he's great, and I think he's gonna
have a really fun comeback story. I mean, look at
his quarterbacks and what they're doing across college football right
now with Wegman at Houston, with obviously the guy that
is there now and Marcel Reid, and of course with
Haines King. I mean, those guys are balling. You're talking
about a couple of Heisman candidates. So he clearly, you know,
(11:58):
does what he does best.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
If he can just keep him.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Healthy, that'll be the biggest thing. And when he gets
back in this man, it's going to be really fun.
But openings galore. It doesn't make sense hour why it
happens or when it happens, but hey, we're.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Gonna have a bunch of new faces a lot of different.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Places, all right, Buddy, listen, I appreciate you always look
forward to these conversations. I know it's a tough time
for you right now. We're going to get through it together. Man,
we'll talk to you next Monday.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
My Man appreciates you always. Brother, have a great show.
