Remember we used to do this on the show, Tom?

Way back in the day, I'd do check with the articles that would come out.

You'd get the Phil Steels and all those things. We'd go check, check, check. I had the system where I'd go to the bookstore, read, drink too much coffee. My hand would shake. That was another sign. Then I would have the talk with my dad about the upcoming season, which has already happened. Check that box as well. And then on that list was NCAA football coming out.

Every year we got excited until it went away.

Then we were all depressed.

Now it's back. already happened. Check that box as well. And then on that list was NCAA football coming out

every year. We got excited until it went away. Then we were all depressed. Now it's back. We're all

happy again. I can add that to the box to check yet again. Boom, checking that box and what,

eight days, something like that. Here we go. I was going to say about the weather that most of the

summer down in Tallahassee, most of the summer, if you have a tea time at say 7.15 a.m.

You can get off the course before it turns into the oppressive thing.

If you're out, if you're done, you get to about 9.45, 10 o'clock, it's starting to get warm, but you can get off the course before 10.45, you're in okay shape. It is hot. We will be having an early lunch inside. We will not be sitting on the veranda today. Thank you very much. But you can get it done. There are those few weeks, though, where that's not even possible. This is not possible. You could have a tea time at 4 in the morning and it could be glow in the dark

golf. There are those few weeks, though, where that's not even possible. This is not possible.

You could have a tea time at four in the morning, and it could be glow in the dark golf, and you would still be sweating profusely. So I do feel for you in that particular situation. Yeah, no, it hurt my feelings. It hurt my feelings a little bit today. I was slightly perturbed, but this is the way it works. Sometimes it happens that way.

But I did like all the boxes that I could check. I did like the fact that

I could do all of those things. So to me, that's exciting. And to me, that's another sign that

we're about to come out of this. So the first thing you will do, you ask me this question about

will you play with Florida State in the EA game? And I do online. I don't do a dynasty with Florida State's too easy. So I will play with Florida State online. And I'll, I mostly begin the game by playing online when I first get the new title because I want to see how the features work. And I might even do a Heisman mode

offline game, maybe like a series of five of them against the best teams in the country.

Just to see how the new buttons work. I mean, there's going to be a passing meter this time.

The timing of a read option, like all these little things are critical. The pre-snap commands to make sure your defense gets aligned. If you see something squarely that you don't like, you got to get your timing down. But then I go head first into the dynasty. Do you even bother with, you know, playing Florida State and doing that stuff? Or do you go straight into the dynasty and go grab army or whoever you're going to grab? Okay.

So I'm a big dynasty mode guy.
