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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    FSU Lands a 2027 QB | Baseball Postseason Starts | Softball Ends

    It’s a loaded week in Florida State sports, and tonight Ryan is flying solo because Vince is MIA. 🎙️ Which means the adult supervision has left the building. 🚨 This week on Garnet & Old, Ryan breaks down a packed FSU slate: baseball entering ACC Tournament chaos, football landing a new quarterback commitment, and softball’s incredible season ending in heartbreak. 🍢 Florida State baseball enters the ACC Championship as the No. 3 seed, opening against No. 14 Pitt in Charlotte. The Noles swept Pitt in the regular season, which means Ryan is legally required to be confident while also spiritually preparing for maximum postseason nonsense. ⚾🔥 FSU football landed its quarterback for the 2027 class, as three-star Port Charlotte QB Logan Flaherty committed to the Noles. Ryan will attempt to discuss this responsibly, but there is a non-zero chance he declares him the future of college football by minute 12. 🏈⭐ FSU softball’s season ended with a tough 4-2 regional final loss to UCF, closing out a phenomenal 52-10 campaign. Brutal ending, elite season, massive respect. 🥎💔 Plus: recruiting vibes, postseason anxiety, chat chaos, Ryan talking himself into and out of confidence, and at least one moment where everyone says, “This is where Vince would usually stop him.” 😅 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

    🥎 Regional heat. ⚾️ Miami hate. 🏈 Conference headlines

    Florida State is bringing the postseason vibes, rivalry smoke, and conference drama all in one beautiful garnet-and-gold buffet. This week on Garnet & Old, we’re talking FSU Softball earning the right to host a regional after snatching another conference crown like it was sitting unattended at Doak. The Noles are hot, the bracket is spicy, and postseason softball in Tallahassee is officially must-watch TV. Then we shift from regional heat to Miami hate, as FSU Baseball closes out the home slate against that school from Coral Gables. It’s the final home series, it’s a hated rival, and yes, we will be emotionally reasonable about it for approximately 12 seconds before the yelling begins. And because college sports can’t go five minutes without turning into a boardroom episode of Game of Thrones, we’ll break down the latest headlines from the ACC Spring Meetings. Revenue, realignment whispers, football power plays, and the ongoing question: how long can this go on? 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

    FSU vs Georgia Gets Canceled, Big Ten Gets PAID, and the Diamond Noles Are Cooking

    FSU and Georgia’s long-awaited home-and-home series has officially been canceled, with both schools reportedly working toward a possible 2028 neutral-site game in Tampa instead. Translation: college football scheduling has entered its “corporate retreat with shoulder pads” era. The ACC and SEC’s shift toward nine-game conference schedules helped push the series off the board, and yes, the bag appears to be very much in the room. Meanwhile, the Big Ten continues to be Big Money, reminding everyone that conference realignment is less “student-athlete experience” and more “Succession, but with punters.” FSU fans are watching the dollars, the media deals, and the future of the ACC like Vince staring into the camera after a third-and-14 draw play. But it’s not all scheduling sadness and TV executive jazz hands: FSU softball and baseball are still giving us joy. Softball is the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament, just beat Georgia Tech 2-1 to reach the semifinals, and cleaned up with major ACC awards. Baseball is riding momentum too, with the No. 14 Noles sweeping Pitt, beating Jacksonville, and taking a five-game winning streak into the Clemson series. So tonight, we’re talking canceled classics, conference cash, diamond dominance, and why college sports now feels like a group project where ESPN did none of the work but still wants the PowerPoint credit. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.
