Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hour two of this Thursday edition.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Another Richmond Weavers show rolls on right here one on
four nine Fox Sports Upstate.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yes, the waiting, I was waiting there.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I wanted to hook just to come on in, little
Tom Petty right there.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Because we've been waiting.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We've been waiting for NFL, We've been waiting for college football.
And here we are August the thirteenth, so it is
right around the corner, just.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
A few weeks away.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And again, yes, we have six NFL preseason games tonight.
Might not be able to take a whole lot of
takeaways from it. I get it. Observations not conclusions. Yes,
we have to remember that. We talk about it each
year though, don't we. Yeah, we do. Just be careful
(00:46):
after that first week because but you can come in
reactionary Monday, come on into Weaverville, come to the couch
therapy sessions.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We'll be here for it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Just know that one of my points that I will
consistently make is that, hey, it's just observations, don't make
conclusions too early.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But we're fans, we're fanatics. We do it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I mean, are we not already doing it to a
certain degree right right now? As far as I mean
I'm already making conclusion that the Cowboys are not going
to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Right, Yeah, I mean I've got a pretty similar conclusion
there with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Look, hey, because you have to be realistic about it. Also, yes,
I mean you just do.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I do think though, that the Cowboys are going to
be much improved on defense. I would agree with that,
I really do. But here's my concern. I think it
might be a step back on offense.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh, you think so.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And the reason why I say that is because that
is typical of what Clemson.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, well, now I'm even throwing Clemson in there.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There we go of what the Cowboys have done over
the past two twenty plus years. Because last year offense
was spectacular, explosive at times.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The defense it is dead last for a period. I
don't think you finished dead Lie.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I was going to say, arguably, if not the worst,
I think it was. Yeah, at one point, I know
it was thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We looked at it. Yes, it looked at because they
had the first and the thirty second.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Which is wild, that's right, And and it could be
various metrics that were being used. Yeah, But overall, I mean,
I think their defense was dead last in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And then when you have one of the best offenses.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, guess what that equates to average right in the
middle exactly. Yeah, And that's what it seems to be
consistently with the Cowboys again over the past twenty years.
And that's why I even I look at Dak Prescott,
it's the same type of scenario.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's average.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, maybe above average because the stats that he can
put up, oh yeah, but then when you have a
letdown in the big games and then yeah, yeah, it
equates to average. And that's the frustrating thing with the Cowboys.
And that's why I feel like I can be realistic that, yeah,
I can make a conclusion that the Cowboys are not
(03:18):
gonna win the Super Bowl. Yeah, anything is possible, though,
I mean I would have made the conclusion last year
at the beginning of college football season.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh, Indiana's not winning the national championship. Think everybody had
that conclusion.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yes, I mean stamp that to put it in concrete.
Whatever it is, sharpie, I mean, that is done.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
It's over. Indiana's not doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, well guess what they did? So could the Cowboys
be Indiana this year in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's a good comp How do you feel about George
Pickens going into this year?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, that's another good question too. And I preface this
by saying, anytime somebody he says, oh, that's a really
good question, I mean they don't have an answer. They're
just buying time. So yes, to a certain degree, I'm
buying time here because I have been thinking about this.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yea, and my gut tells me he's going to have
a drop off. Yeah, that's kind of That's kind of
where I feel with it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And just based again on history, and some of it
doesn't have to do necessarily with the player themselves. And
this is not disparaging to George Pickens. It's more about
showcasing how hard it is to each year live up
(04:38):
to that level and sometimes even exceed the previous season's
level and production. And so I'm actually saying something very
positive about the players that do do that.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
On a consistent basis.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, it's ridiculous that just showcases how good they are.
And I think there's been enough history with Jor Pickens.
Now maybe this is the moment where his career, Yeah,
takes off and we see something different. He's in the
right place, he's you know, he feels good about being
with the Cowboys, even though you know, with the contract
(05:15):
discussions and negotiations going on right now, nothing has been
resolved from a long term perspective. But I just questioned,
can he put up the same type of numbers because
so many things have to go right.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I feel for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I mean, Dak has to play the you know, the
the similar way that the offensive line has to be consistent,
you know, all of those type of things. But also
just remember too, there were times where the Cowboys their
offense was able to move the ball up and down
the field because they had to play catch up because
the defense was giving up so many points. I mean
(05:51):
it was you know that almost get into a track meet.
So if their defense is better now, I'm curious how
that might impact the offense just in turn. Yeah, hey,
they're not playing from behind, and you know in the NFL,
when you see teams playing from behind the team that's
got the big lead, inevitably their defense falls a little
(06:13):
bit for a.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Period of time in that particular game, oh for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And you know it also is predicated on the fact that, like,
it's not necessarily all on George Pickens, because you know,
we talk a lot about that sophomore slump obviously, but
I also look at it too from a trade perspective.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
That was his first year with Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yes, nobody really knew from a defensive I mean, you
know what George Pickens is, you know what a Dak
Prescott is, but you just don't know what that connection
is going to look like. And now that teams have
tape on George Pickens and Dak Prescott and the way
that offense is run, I think naturally you're probably gonna see.
Now there again, there are players and connections like Mahomes.
I don't know that it matters how much you watch
tape on my business. He's just that good. I do
(06:49):
wonder from a perspective of a Dak Prescott and George Pickens,
are they that good? Is it that good of a
connection to overcome the defense? These defensive minded gurus looking
at it and going, oh, okay, so when they're on
this down, this is when he likes to throw to George.
That's how he burned people last year. Like those kind
of things that they're gonna be looking at They're gonna
have tape on.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It now, of course, I mean, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, the NFL, right, I mean to the nth degree,
they're going to know and even I mean you hear
some of the stories talking about NFL players in terms
of how they'll watch film and pick up tendencies. Yeah,
it's like, oh, when when he's lining up and if
(07:31):
his right foot is turned inward, yeah, he's turning right.
But if his you know, I don't know, some other
if he puts the towel on his left side, yeah,
he's going left.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Whatever it is, I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I even saw fans doing it on Twitter with Saquon
Barkley last year. Maybe there's a there's a tail with
Saquon with his head. It's it's it's a certain way
that he scans the field, depending on whether it's a
running player or a passing play. You can hell, if
he's looking to pass block or if he's looking to
break it open.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I mean, it's crazy the little things that you can
pick up on.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It makes me think, you know, we talked about training
and you know all the different tools.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yes, what's the what's the Jason Temp.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Talks about it, the tool that he uses where he
can go and deep dive and like, oh, synergy, synergy.
Is there anything like that for the NFL because there
has to be Oh yes, Oh could you imagine these
differents that give me all the George Pickens plays, give
me all the George Pickens plays on third down in
this moment in two minute drill scenarios.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh that's in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They could have all of that, which is crazy, There's
no doubt because I use synergy on the basketball side
also for so con fast Break the show that I
have all about Southern Conference basketball, and a new episode
just came out. Oh Chattanooga Monks. Yeah, the summer tour
episode is out, So make sure you check that out.
(08:53):
So con fast Break subscribe on the YouTube channel. It
doesn't cost you anything. It helps us out, So confast Break,
So check that out. And we're getting ready to do
a schedule release. They just released the conference schedule. Yeah,
so I'm off on a tangent here, but you got
me all excited because I'm getting excited of course about football,
but basketball as well, So con fast Break.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But yes, synergy is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
The level of detail that you can pick out from
a basketball standpoint. And I know there's a version. I
don't think it's called synergy, but I know there's a
version for not only the NFL college football and now
I mean some of this technology is making its way
down to high school some of these bigger high schools. Yeah,
(09:38):
these bigger programs. I mean, it's crazy how they're able
to utilize that. But yeah, that's where I am concerned though,
just with can the Cowboys offense? Yeah, be can the
Cowboys offense, I should say, can it live up to
the same type of level that it did last year?
And so if you can, and then your defense has improved,
(10:01):
it's pretty good, then you got a shot.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And my point is that also for the Cowboys, and
this goes to all the NFL teams.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's all about getting a shot, and it's all about
getting a shot into the playoffs. And as much as yes,
I would hope that the Cowboys could win the NFC East,
but even get in as a wild card, just get
in there, because anything can happen once you get into
the playoffs. But you know, you can't advance in the
(10:32):
playoffs if you can't get into the playoffs. And that's
been the frustrating thing about the Cowboys over the past
several years too. But even more so is that when
they have gotten to the playoffs, then the big letdown happens.
And especially when I felt that the Cowboys were good,
I mean, well five straight years twelve and five, yeah,
oh yeah, I mean that's that's significant regular season accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But what did it amount to? Here we go? Meaningless
stat is all? That is my calgory right there. Yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You've got to peak in the playoffs, not in the
regular season. Hey, the text line is open eight six
four triple seven ninety five ninety three. Again that text
line eight six four triple seven ninety five ninety three.
And I did want to get back to some of
the other texts we had. Texter sixty seven thirty eight.
I think this is when we were talking about training
and then even Lebron and Bronni playing against each other
(11:28):
there on Christmas Day as the NBA released their schedule,
and Texter sixty seven thirty eight says, from a basketball
point of view, any athlete and it depends on the
athlete can gain depending on his ability and willingness to improve.
As far as lebron and Bronny, that's another record a milestone.
Son guarding father and guarding son. I do get that,
(11:50):
yea and father. So the son guarding the father and
then then the father guarding the sun.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Sounds like we're in church right now.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But there is something about what Texter sixty seven thirty
eight is talking about.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The training.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
We were talking about v h R and the technology
that can be used, and it does depend, I think,
on an athlete, and so maybe like with Jayden Daniels,
maybe the VR fits with how he learns. Yeah, you
get as much out of it as you put in exactly,
and everybody learns differently, that's for certain. And we also
have Lee chiming in on the text line saying shout
(12:24):
out to Ingles from Lee at Miracle Hill. They always
donate turkeys and peanut oil for our big turkey fry
every year. It helps to feed over one thousand Thanksgiving dinners.
That's a thousand.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
That's an incredible event. I don't know if you've ever
made it out there, but.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's it's I've never seen anything like it. Yeah, it's crazy,
it's crazy, and I love it. Lee, thanks for chiming
in on the text line there from Miracle Hill, and
I know it's a great relationship with Ingles and Miracle Hill.
And then we also have Hunter Bruce chiming in on
the text line eight six y four triple seven ninety
five ninety three.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh, here we go. Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
He asked the question, what happens first another Cowboys Super
Bowl win or Carolina Panthers win the Super Bowl, a
South Carolina natty or another Clemson football natty. And I
(13:26):
say South Carolina Natty. It's football, not women's basketball.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Okay. I gotta digest this a little bit. Yeah, we
got to hit this.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Break, because that is some really good questions are one
good question, but layered in so many different ways like
an onion. I got to peel it apart. All right,
we got to hit this break. Hunter, thank you for
that text. We'll talk about that and much more as
we continue this Thursday edition of The Richmond Weavers Show
(13:58):
presented by Ingles Markets. More right after this here on
one O four nine Fix Sports Upstate. Continuing this Thursday
edition of the Richmond Weavers Show presented by Ingles Markets
right here on one O four nine Fox Sports Upstate.
We appreciate all of the investors out there investing your

Sports Upstate, Upstate Sports Upstate one O four nine. I
don't care whatever it is. I know sometimes you're in
a hurry and you're just trying to figure it out.
Can't remember exactly the station name. As long as you
have one O four nine and Fox and Sports, I
don't even know. You might not even need sports. I
wish we could test it out. So I've already got
it in there, so right, yeah, yeah, but I know
(14:55):
the algorithm will find it. That's the bottom line. So
it is very smart. Once you have that, just put
it in your preset button. Then you don't even have
to worry about it anymore. And there's fifteen different preset
button so a lot of content for you there. And
we're still waiting for trade to get access to radio edit.
Aaron Michael has been out under the weather. And so
(15:17):
once we have that, then you will have that debility.
At least we'll be able to see it.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, we can.

You want to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Also, you know, you can join the conversation eight six
four two four zero five four eight zero. Again that
number to the Ingles hotline eight six four two four
zero five four eight zero. Okay, I am talking about
the Ingles hot line, but I'm going back to the
text line.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay because with Hunter. Yeah, because this is this is
a good one.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I like this because you have four different scenarios and
which one's most likely to happen to the biggest long shot? Okay,
So another Clemson Football National championship, another Dallas Cowboys Super
Bowl win, the Carolina Panthers would win the Super Bowl,
or South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Football National Championship, hmm. How would you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Rank those like and most likely to have? Yes, most likely.
I think I'm ranking them just how I explain them. Yeah,
another Clemson football National championship, then the Cowboys win the
Super Bowl again, although I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Man, I.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Would I would definitely have Clemson first, like I feel like, yeah,
the most comfortable, they seem like. The next the one
that might be primed. I would flip and put Carolina.
I just I hate to say it, but I don't.
I don't know that Dallas wins much of anything with
Jerry still there. And I mean there's I just.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm not arguing with you, and I'm not mad at you. Yeah,
I'm just disappointed in you. That's you're not giving any
love to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I mean, I want to look at the roster.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I just.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm saying that because I'm more mad because it's Jerry
Jones getting in the way and I think there's some
validity to that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And you can't fire an owner, No you can't.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
He's the owner, president and general manager. Yep, hello, come on,
I mean, just all right, I still I'm going to
put the Cowboys up there just because.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
They've been there. Okay, Yeah, thirty years.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's been a long time, so nobody in that organization
other than Jerry and Steven knows.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
What did.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I actually feels like what it takes, right, I mean,
maybe there's some people that we don't know about that
are still in the organization. Yeah, but not anybody that's
going to have an impact on the organization outside of
Jerry and Steven.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I don't remember if he said it on this show,
but Chad is called in and I know I've heard
those come out of his mouth. Nobody has ever texted
about the Dallas Cowboys winning a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That's how long it's been.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Nobody's ever sent a text message that the Dallas Cowboys
have won a Super Bowl. M Okay, that puts it
into perspective, like.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
That's all that's crazy. Yeah, it's a long time.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, I mean, gosh it in ninety six, Yeah, I
mean cell phones weren't even that huge right back then. Yeah,
So of course, so go ahead, Chad take some shots
in the Cowboys. I get it, I understand, but I
can't be mad at you because its factual.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, that's the reality of it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So I know I'm probably biased, but I am going
to have the Cowboys there your team at number two,
and I have the Panthers at number three, and then
I have South Carolina at number four. Although yeah, I
could flip those, I could have South Carolina jumping up.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Both of them are hard to do.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, So you know, I again, I think Clemson they've
got the blueprint that in recent years ye've been there,
got all of that, The Cowboys with the NFL parody,
I mean, you can get there. The Panthers again, the
(19:48):
NFL parody, so you do have that, and I do
think they've got to rebuild that's in progress right now.
I agree with that, and I think Dave Canalis is
the guy.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I think so. And then for South Carolina, I think
Shane Biemer is the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's all about you've got to get into the playoffs.
You've got to show that you can get there. And
I'm wondering if this year could be one of those
years for South Carolina to show that they can get there.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And I'm just saying, sometimes you need just that one
moment to have that tipping point, yeah, because I feel
that's what happened with Clemson.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I mean, look at Indiana again.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
I know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Keep referring back to Indiana. But I don't know if
we've talked about how crazy it has been that Indiana
went from who Indiana, Who's.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yours football has been.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
For all of college football history, the team with the
most losses ever yep, to go into a national championhi
and being undefeated.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's improbable, it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Is, And I don't I don't think there's gonna be
a huge drop off for Indiana. Now.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I don't think they're gonna win another national championship. That's hard.
It's so hard.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean in the statistically speaking Yeah, I mean it's
almost impossible. Yeah, But I would have said the same
thing about them actually even winning, and that's what I
said earlier.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Now, all right, let me know your thoughts eight six
four two four zero five four eight zero, and let's
head out to the Ingles hot line right now, the
Richmond Weavers show.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Hello, Richmond? This is Rocky Rocky.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
How are you my friend?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
All right? I'm doing well. Hope you guys are so
this little, uh little thing you got going on here.
Much to my chagrin to have to say this, but
I'm gonna say the first the best chance and I
think they're gonna be in the NFC East. They're gonna
(22:01):
be I think the Dallas Cowboys, if they're gonna I
think I think their offense is good. I've heard you
talking about their if their defense, if they can stop
some people. Yes, I just think right now the window
is gonna be as good as it can be for
Dallas because Dak Prescott, there's no problem with him. When
(22:22):
he's healthy, he's good, and he can he got you
got George Pickens and C. D Lamb on the edge
of the wide receivers, and I just I think if
Dallas is going to do it in spite of Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
In spite of Jerry Jones, Yes, in.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Spite of Jerry Jones. But I'm gonna say the Cowboys
have the best chance, then the Tigers would be number
two getting back, just because as you just said, and
even as a game talk fan, I mean, they they
they have the coach, they have they they've just been there,
(23:05):
they've done that, and and they they're they're I'm not
saying the ACC is a bad conference. They're in the best.
They're in the best conference you could be in to
get to the playoffs. As you just said about South Carolina,
and I got a side on Carolina, I would say third,
Uh getting to it. At least, I'm gonna put South
(23:29):
Carolina before the Panthers. I'm just and and this is
why I'm putting South Carolina. If South Carolina is gonna
make any noise, they need to do it this year
because they're big three, They're gonna lose. They're all gonna
be gone. Salad is gonna be gone, them tour is
gonna be gone, and Nick Carver is gonna be gone.
(23:51):
I firmly believe all three of those players are gonna go,
even though they may have eligibility remaining. I mean, I believe,
if I I'm not, if I'm not mistaken, I still think.
I think Lenard Sellers still has one year of eligibility
if he wanted to ease it. I believe. Uh, I
don't think he will, and I think he'd be foolish too,
(24:12):
But you never know. But uh, and I may be wrong,
but I'm pretty sure Sellers and nothing that Carver does
too well, Dylan Stewart does. All three of them I
believe have years of eligibility, a year of eligibility remaining.
But I don't think they're gonna I mean, this is
gonna be the year they come out. But if South
Caroline is gonna make any noise to try to sense
(24:33):
the playoff like they did two years ago, they need
to do it this year. I think I think the
schedule's conducing. They're gonna have to win some games that
maybe nobody's expecting them. They're gonna have to win some
games on the road. They don't have to beat Alabama
and they're gonna have to beat Uh. I don't I
don't think they need to beat Georgia. But if you
(24:55):
if you took the entire schedule, South Carolina's entire schedule,
Richie Tray, and you went all the way down the schedule,
the only game that I would tell you that they
really I don't think they can win.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is Georgia.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Georgia, Yeah, I mean Georgia at home.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
Yeah, uh in Columbia. But I mean so that that'd
be the only one on them, but that I think
they can beat Alabama on the road because they've proven
they tried. They almost did it two years ago. Uh So,
if South Carolin's going to do anything and then the Panthers,
(25:36):
I just don't know the Panthers were pretty good that
last year, and I watched them and I was pulling
for him. But I don't know if Bryce Bryce Young
is going to be the quarterback to take the Panthers
to the next level.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think there's a lot of people asking that question.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
As I think he's a good, solid I just don't
know if he's that dude, if there's enough pieces around them.
I mean, now, there have been quarterbacks in the past
that have been good, solid quarterbacks that have enough pieces
around them. Normally, a quarterback that may not be a
(26:17):
quote franchise type quarterback that gets a team far into
the playoffs. Usually those teams have really good defenses, or
they have and they have really good offensive lines, and
maybe they ever run the football and be a little control.
But usually those teams have really good defenses where they
(26:38):
don't have to score a lot of points to win games.
Uh So I would go and and and I'm kind
of like this. The top two can be flip flopped.
In the bottom two can be flip flopped. I think
(27:01):
the Cowboys. I'm I'm as a as a as a
Washington fan. I mean, like I say, I'm not sure
about the commanders and and and what's gonna go on
with them? And I don't think the Giants are quite there.
So it's either Philly or Dallas, uh, basically, But I
just think Dallas, with their offensive firepower, if their defense
(27:24):
is any better, Dallas can get there or make make
some noise to get there. So I'll give them the best,
little better chance. And Clemson right now, just because I
don't know what Clemson's gonna be offensively, don't know who
the quarterback is going to be and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, well, I think it's gonna be Christopher Zina, their quarterback,
but we know it knows nothing about him.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
We're gonna find out. I've never seen him, so heard
his name, but never seen him play. All I've known
really is Watson and Lawrence and Clubnick basically over the
last ten years or so, however much And as far
as cleansing quarterbacks, I mean, I know the previous quarterbacks.
(28:08):
I'm just talking about when they had their most success.
Of course, a couple of the national championships. Those have
been the quarterbacks over the last decade or so.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, And then to your point with Leonora Sellers, he
does have two more years of eligibility heading into this season.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, so he's got this year and then another year.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
So yeah, yeah, that's what I will saying. I mean,
he's got this year coming, but I'm thinking the following year. Yeah,
you know, if for whatever reason something happened and he's
got another year of eligibility after this year. But now
if he has the year like I think he's capable
of having, like I'm hoping and optimistic to South Carolina
(28:48):
can have a good year and win, you know, eight games.
I think if they won eight games and more, I
think that would be a really good season for him
and have a winning season in the SEC. I think
that's a really good year. And Settlers would have to
have a good year for that, and he'd probably be
somewhere in the first round draft pick. Yeah, with those quarterbacks,
and I think that's what his goal with.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
So anyway, Rocky, thank you, brother.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
We appreciate it, and always you call anytime, Rocky, take
care alright, You're the same anybody else out there.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Eight six four two four zero five four eight zero.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Is the number to the Engles hotline, And again we
had Hunter on the text line asking the question what
happens first Cowboys win another Super Bowl, or the Carolina
Panthers win their first Super Bowl, or South Carolina Football
wins their first National championship, or Clemson wins another National championship.
(29:51):
Which one could you be talked into the easiest?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
In which one the.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Least, Because I could be I could, I could be
talked into all of them. Yeah, there's no doubt, and
I'm wondering. I think I'm probably it would be harder
for me to now that I'm looking at it even
more and hearing some of the things, I think it
might be the Carolina Panthers would be the one that
(30:20):
I could be the least talked into.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, I get where Rocky's coming from to there with
Bryce Young, like we saw some flashes last year. Obviously
there were some times he looked really good, but there's always,
at least the past few years that he's been in
the league, this slow sort of start there that I
would hope going into the season, if you're going to
(30:45):
build upon last season, that's got to start to go away.
You've got to get Bryce cooking a whole lot earlier
coming into the season, and I think that's where you
look at your chances of actually going somewhere there. Obviously
you've got the division, so like, to me, it's funny,
like I look at it from the perspective of.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Maybe the Panthers could be least.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
But also then I look at the division, I'm like, well,
I feel like out of that division, they're probably the
ones I would put in the playoffs of winning that division.
I don't know the the most for me, like the
most I could be talked into.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, I was gonna say Clemson, Yeah, the Cowboys one's intriguing.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I was gonna say, the more I could think about
the Cowboys when if their defense clicks.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yes, let me ask you this too.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I know it's super super early, we haven't gotten there yet,
but what if you throw Clemson basketball into the mix?
Oh wow, whoa Okay, how big of a long shot
is that one?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Wow? Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, that one that's probably last on the list. Yeah,
and that's not a shot at Brad Burnell and everything
that he's doing. It's just extremely difficult. These other ones
are extremely difficult also, believe me. But Clemson has really
Clemson hasn't even won an ACC tournament championship. I mean,
(32:13):
my freshman year we won the ACC regular season championship,
and that's the only ACC title that we can claim
from a basketball perspective. So I mean, I think you
got to win one of those before you win a
national championship. Now, of course you don't have to. I mean,
you can go just get into the NCAA tournament. But
(32:33):
Clemson hasn't had a whole lot of success as far
as getting to a long run in college basketball. I mean,
Elite eight just a few years ago there and uh
then you oh so close to the Final four and
not make that. So that's that's Yeah, I'm struggling on
(32:57):
that one because I want that one to happen.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Also, I mean I would probably trade.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I shouldn't say trade, but if there was an opportunity
in the next five years, either Clemson football to win
a national championship or basketball.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I might take. I might take the basketball. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But now, if Clemson football was still sitting there with
only the national championship from nineteen eighty one, I would say, oh,
give me a football national championship. But with two in
the past ten years, yeah, yeah, I think I would say, okay, yeah,
give me a give me a basketball one, because those
(33:37):
are at a football school getting one in basketball is
a tremendous feat.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, and that's part of it. That's a good question. Again,
there we go. Good question.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I don't have a specific answer for it, but I
love that Hunter Bruce asked that question. And just real
quick on South Carolina's schedule, because I know we've gone
over the South Carolina schedule and I had them having
seven wins, could get to eight. Yeah, and I still
think that's very realistic. And I'm probably even getting more
bullish on South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
And I know I was this last year. I get it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But you've got kent State, Towson, Mississippi State. You should
be starting three and Oh to start the season, cause
all three are at home. Then you go to Alabama
and I think that is one that they can win.
Then you've got Kentucky at home. Then you've got Florida
on the road, then Tennessee and then at Oklahoma, and
(34:34):
then you've got Texas A and M at home, then
on the road against Arkansas, at home against Georgia, and
then on the road against Clemson. And I mean they
can beat Florida even on the road. They can beat
Tennessee at home. Texas A and M will be a
tough one. And I know, of course after last year
how everything played out there and that loss to Texas
(34:56):
A and M. But they could beat Oklahoma also, they
can for sure beat Arkansas. But yeah, the gauntlet, I
would say right now is Georgia. And then there's the
rivalry game against Clemson. And historically Clemson has own South Carolina,
but over the past few years it's been somewhat of
a different story. I know last year Kate Clubnick and
(35:17):
the Tigers were able to get the win in Columbia.
But I'm just saying, I don't know the schedule the
way it is. I'm talking myself into all this propaganda
for the game.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Cocks.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Hey, we got to hit this brake. So caller, if
you can stay on hold, we'll get you in and
just a minute. You know what, No, we got to
do daily Rundown. Don't yeh, caller, you stay on hold.
Right there, we got to do the Daily Rundown real quick.
Let's take a look at some of the latest.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Oh hats to take care of mine hitting the latest headlines.
It's the Daily Rundown, all right, We're moving all over
the place here.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
The Daily Rundown brought to you by Tuck and Howell, plumbing,
heating and air. And as we heard just from a
perspective of Carson Beck not playing tonight after suffering a
rib injury.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
So these are the things you just don't know about.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Hey, And we talked about Russell Westbrook yesterday as he
is retiring from the NBA, but according to various reports
that Oklahoma City is going to sign him to a
one day contract so he can officially retire as a
member of Oklahoma City, where it started his career. And
he the most triple doubles in NBA history two hundred
(36:27):
and nine, one of two players in NBA history with
over twenty five thousand points and ten thousand assists, and
one of fourteen players to record over two thousand career steals.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, so it's pretty special there. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Also, Clemson did receive some news yesterday. Wide receiver Tristan
Smith will be playing for the Tigers this year as
the NCAA's motion to reconsider was denied.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
As again, all of these appeals, all of these crazy things.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Come on, NCUBA, get your act together, do a little
bit better job. And how about this. Live Golf has
told players that its team Championship that is scheduled for
August twenty seventh through the thirtieth in Detroit has been canceled.
And also Fox has removed the tournament from its TV.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Listings as well.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Wow oh yeah, And there's reports that John Rahm is
getting ready to make a decision that he is going
to be leaving live golf, And so I'm trying to
get David Rumsey, our insider in front off of Sports,
to give us a little bit more insight man in
terms of live golf. All right, that is the Daily
Rundown brought to you by Tuck and Howell Plumbing and Heating,
in and air. We'll continue this Thursday edition of the
(37:44):
Richmond Weaver Show presented by Ingles Markets and Color. You
stay on hold right there, We'll get you in much
more right here on one oh four nine Fox Sports
Upstate eight six four two four zero five to four
eight zero. That is the number to the Ingles hotline again,
eight six four zero five to four eight zero. As
we've been moving fast, as we consistently do here on
(38:06):
this Thursday edition of the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by
our good friends at Ingles Markets and Let's head out
to the Ingles hotline real quick, got Chad the vending
machine king holding on through the break, Chad. We appreciate
you holding on. What's on your mind today, my friend?
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Oh Man, I don't know what rich Man. I guess. Uh,
my Panthers has got to share their number one spot
after the diet. There's gonna be six other teams. They're
gonna be tied first place with the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
That's right. I can tell you're already upset.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Yes, it's been a week of glory, rich Man. We've
been number one all week. Rich Yes, the best team
in the NFL, only one with the win.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Hey, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
This is the moment you can shine right now that uh,
you've got a few more hours left, and then, like
you said, you have to come back to the banks
of other teams that are sitting there undefeated as well.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Yeah, was all talking about the quarterbacks having dr in
their helmets. Was he saying that earlier?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, we were actually talking about how some of these
quarterbacks now they're training utilizing VR, like Jane Daniels is
a big proponent of it, and that's one of the
things that he's been utilizing so it's not so much
that it's in his helmet like out on the playing field.
It's they go into a simulated area and so he
can put it on there and utilize that as like
(39:39):
an extension of film session.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yeah, man, I think it good help. I mean, you
think about it, man, NASCAR has been doing it for years,
them drivers getting them simulated. It's just like being in
a race car on the track.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Yeah. I mean also in.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Fact that you remember when the Rona hit Man they
had that that made us so on TV. That was
the worst racing product I've ever seen on TV. But
I mean it was racing somehow, I guess. Yeah, the
drivers chooses to get better and understand the tracks and all. Yes,
you know that can help quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
And I totally forgot about that, Chad. That's a little
PTSD bringing that back. But yes, that was crazy how
they did that. But you have to take advantage of it.
I mean, why wouldn't you. And again, even if it
just helps to a small degree, because Chad is We've
talked about so many times in sports, sometimes it's just
that little bit of degree difference that can help you.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, yeah, well, hey, Chad, we appreciate the phone call,
my friend. We right here getting close to the top
of the hour, and we got to.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Make sure we hit it right on time.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
But you call any time, brother, We appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Well, do rich Man a little bit turning.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
In like away, Yes, sir, anybody else you can join
tomorrow again eight six four two four zero five to
four eight zero, because I do want to talk about
some of the games I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
About in college football.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Ah. Yes, I've got a list of some games that
are going to be some of the top games that
we're going to be excited about, at least here at
the middle of August, because guess what happens. Somebody's not
going to play as well as we expected, and somebody's
going to be coming out of the woodworks that we
didn't expect. So that does consistently happen. Also, all right,
(41:29):
we also need to walk back in a little bit
of history. You can skip the music, mister Falco goes.
Imagine that we're at the top of the hour, running
through this pretty.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Fast, right OTD.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Let's walk back in a little bit of history here
on August the thirteenth, two thousand and eight, Michael Phelps
would swim into history as the winningest Olympic athlete with
his tenth and eleventh career gold medals and five world
records and five events at the Beijing Games. Five world
records and five events. I even had trouble getting out
(42:00):
of my mouth right there, because I mean, that's ridiculous
that you go five for five like that.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
He was special, all right. That is OTD.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
And that is this Thursday edition of The Richmond Weaver Show,
presented by Ingles Markets. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
