    MEDIOCRE. MIDWEEK. MAYHEM.

    You knew we couldn't let this week slide without talking about THE word. You know the one. Mediocre. Four-star recruit Izayah Vickers visits FSU spring practice, a message board LOSES their minds over a misquote, and suddenly there's a bunch of damage control on social media and a podcast. Meanwhile, ESPN is out there using the word "mediocre" in the same sentence as Florida State like it's nothing. But wait — Israel Abrams, the nation's No. 3 QB, also visited this week and said the Noles "did not disappoint." So which narrative wins? Let's break it all down. Tonight: 🗣️ The misquote — who ran it, why it matters, and why the FSU fanbase needs to breathe 📺 ESPN's "mediocre" narrative — this is why it's always Screw ESPN Eternally 🏈 Spring practice is back, first scrimmage is SATURDAY — 50+ new faces and Norvell on the hot seat 🎯 Israel Abrams loved his visit — signs of life on the recruiting trail ⚾ FSU Baseball got SHUT OUT 5-0 by Florida — 16 Ks, zero runs 🥎 Softball on an 18-game win streak and not getting NEARLY enough love We are NOT mediocre. We are Garnet & Old. Big difference. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

    FSU Spring Practice = Quiet… Basketball = HOT… and Ryan is on a CRUISE 🚢

    If FSU Spring practice happens and no one is there to see it… is it really happening? 🦗 We’ll talk about what little we’ve gathered from camp, what it means, and whether Norvell and the staff are  cooking in silence 🤐 or just (unnecessarily) hiding from the masses. Meanwhile, FSU Men’s Basketball 🏀 is on an absolute heater and has Duke on deck tonight hoping to generate some post season CHAOS. ✅ Yes, the Noles played Duke tough earlier this season (when the Noles were bad) ✅ Yes, we are cautiously optimistic. ❌ No, we haven't been drinking (well, BigPapaEast has). Meanwhile, FSU acquiring Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare 🏥  is officially happening, which means the university now owns a hospital… so if this season goes sideways at least the fanbase is already in the right place. Ryan (BigPapaEast) will be joining live from a cruise ship somewhere in the Atlantic assuming the WiFi plays nice, and Jeremy Ivans (Rock ‘N Nole) will be co-hosting tonight to keep Vince from turning the show into an FSU History Channel documentary. It’s chaos. It’s spring. It’s Garnet & Old. Go Noles. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

    FSU Spring Practice: ACCESS DENIED 🚫 | No Media. No Spring Game. No FUN.

    Florida State Spring Practice is coming… But if you’re part of the media — ACCESS DENIED. Once again, FSU football practice is basically locked down like Area 51, and with no Spring Game AGAIN, fans and reporters are left to their own devices to figure out what’s actually happening and if there is ANYTHING to get excited about. On tonight’s episode of Garnet & Old, Vince and Ryan break down: 🚫 Why the media access is so limited AGAIN 🚫 Why the Spring Game might officially be extinct 👀 Whether the secrecy actually matters for the season 🏀⚾️🥎🏃 The winning ways of most other FSU sports Is Norvell running the most secretive spring camp in college football? Or are we all just turning into conspiracy theorists staring through binoculars at the practice field? Either way… ACCESS DENIED. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

    FSU BROKE?! Sportico Says ‘Debt King’ — Not So Fast, My Friend…

    Is Florida State actually broke… or is the internet bad at reading financial reports? Sportico called FSU the “Debt King,” Gus Malzahn retired, and chaos immediately followed. It was a busy week in college football. Sportico dropped a headline claiming Florida State became college sports’ “Debt King” in FY25, and Seminole Twitter went into full panic mode while rival fans celebrated like they just won something meaningful. 💸😬 Oh — and Gus Malzahn retired, quietly closing the book on another coaching chapter that somehow still turned into an FSU discourse moment. On this episode of Garnet & Old, we break it all down: - What the Sportico “FSU debt” report actually says vs. how it’s being misused online - Why debt ≠ broke (and how modern college athletics really works) - How FSU’s facilities, revenue, and realignment strategy fit into the big picture - What Malzahn’s retirement means for the ACC (and why FSU fans are… unaffected) If you read the headline and yelled “WE’RE FINISHED” — relax. If you celebrated — also relax. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.
