  FSU Just Got the ACC's Meanest Schedule (And Florida's Circled )

  Jul 23, 202654 min

  On3 just handed Florida State the "toughest schedule in the ACC" crown, and honestly? Bring it on. We break down the brutal slate — Alabama on the road, Florida at home to close it out — plus celebrate ace Wes Mendes pulling off the rare GPA/ERA double as ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year . Oh, and Jared Verse is still talking his trash to the Gators from Cleveland, because some rivalries don't need a jersey to stay alive. Like the conversation?

  Congress vs. The Super League: FSU caught in the middle

  Jun 25, 202655 min

  Tonight on Garnet & Old, Vince and Ryan go full C-SPAN After Dark — but with more spear plants and more yelling We open with the biggest college athletics story of the week: the Protect College Sports Act of 2026 advanced out of the Senate Commerce Committee by a 19–9 vote and now heads to the full Senate. The bill would create national rules for NIL, athlete protections, transfer/eligibility structure, and the future of college sports revenue — including a media-rights angle that matters a lot to schools like Florida State trying to survive the growing SEC/Big Ten money gap. The committee says the bill is backed by a broad group of schools, conferences, leagues, and Olympic-sport advocates, while Chairman Ted Cruz framed it as a “fourth-down” moment for college athletics. Then we shift to the trail, where FSU recruiting is moving faster than Ryan’s emotional stability after one practice clip. Sam LeJeune committed, Marquis Fennell hit decision day, CJ Ohuabunwa reportedly surged after an “amazing” visit, and Jemari Foreman’s OV had the staff fighting off a late Louisville push. The big question: in the NIL era, is Norvell’s staff changing the calendar by pushing early pledges instead of saving everything for the old-school closing pitch? LeJeune’s commitment gives FSU a blue-chip defensive line win in the 2027 class, with the next challenge being the modern recruiting boss battle: holding on until Signing Day. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

  Cruise Mode Activated | FSU Recruiting, Fan Panic & Summer Silence

  Jun 25, 202631 min

  Tonight's episode comes to you from two very different locations. Vince is checking in from Miami on his way to a cruise, living his best life somewhere between a beach chair and a buffet line. Ryan, meanwhile, is holding down the fort in Georgia, desperately searching for enough FSU news to justify an entire podcast. So naturally, we're doing a show anyway. As always, thank you for hanging out with us. If Vince suddenly disappears during the show, assume he's either boarding the ship or trapped in a buffet line. If Ryan starts ranting about conference realignment, that's just business as usual. Let's talk some FSU football.

  Softball Shock, Recruiting Swings & College Sports Civil War

  Jun 11, 20261h 5m

  FSU softball got portal-punched 🥎💥 after losing elite stars Isa Torres and Jaysoni Beachum. That is not a roster tweak — that is the softball version of losing your Wi-Fi, your wallet, and your starting quarterback in the same afternoon. Torres entered the portal after winning ACC Player of the Year and D1Softball National Player of the Year, while Beachum’s exit made it two cornerstone losses in under a week. Meanwhile, football recruiting is in full boom-or-doom mode 🍢🎢: recent blue-chip momentum, painful decommits, official visit drama, and enough message-board smoke to make Ryan start pacing like it’s 3rd-and-8. Jayden Miles gave the Noles a big recruiting win, but Gregory Batson Jr. and Mekhi Williams backing off their pledges keeps the summer drama spicy. Then we zoom out to the national chaos: the SEC and Big Ten are flexing, Congress is sniffing around college sports, NIL rules are still held together with duct tape, and the Brendan Sorsby scandal has everyone asking who is actually in charge anymore. Spoiler: probably not the NCAA. 🏈💰⚖️ 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

  FSU Sports… Probably? Last-Minute Chaos Episode

  Jun 11, 202642 min

  Welcome to the least-prepared episode in show history. Usually we'd spend this space telling you exactly what we're covering in the world of FSU football, baseball, softball, recruiting, conference realignment, NIL, and whatever fresh chaos Florida State fans are arguing about online. Unfortunately, that would require planning. Tonight's show was assembled with the same level of preparation as a college student starting a semester-long project at 11:47 PM the night before it's due. We had a vague idea, a couple of microphones, access to the internet, and what can only be described as reckless confidence. As a result, we may discuss: FSU sports Non-FSU sports Sports that may or may not exist Conference realignment rumors Recruiting updates Why a certain fanbase is wrong The philosophical implications of a 3-hour rain delay Whatever topic accidentally appears on the screen At some point we'll probably make a good point. No guarantees. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.
