What's going on, y'all? I'm Bud Elliott. That's now Lauren Stample, and this is Noelcast.

We have not spoke, I don't know, little under a week and figured we should probably do an episode. Forrested didn't lose a game this weekend because I didn't play a game. Because they had the pie week, which was in some ways kind of much needed, I'm sure, for some of the guys, they want to get back out there and get the taste out of their mouth.

After that, Stanford loss and others may not care quite as much. Now, what's going on, man? What's on your mind in the night? Oh, man. I'm definitely, I'm mixed emotions as far as this biweek. It sucks because you want to, you want to be able to get back in there and hopefully get a win and get something underneath your belt. But also it was definitely good to get a little bit of a break, especially the guys, the players, the coaches getting a little bit of a break.

I'm interested to see with some guys healthy, what it looks like coming back into this week, seeing where the focus is and see if we can respond in some capacity. So I'm, I think a biweek was definitely needed, even though it kind of sucked, I think it was much needed for sure. And I hope some of the guys were able to get to tell you can kind of, get some the taste out of their mouth and then, you know, get back in town and reset and, you know, realize like, hey, they are so part of a team and they are paid to do a job.

And also, like, if you have eligibility remaining, it's kind of nice to put some good tape on because

whether you're playing here or elsewhere next year, your tape is going to dictate your pay for

the most part for next year, within reason.

So, all right, since we last talked, Florida State did not fire Mike Norville yet.

Still think they will this year.

I don't really think, like, I don't know how you could run this back in the next season,

just given the amount of times his teams have disappointed.

And if you watch his press conferences, I mean, the guy just looks, he looks done. He looks completely dejected, you know, to my eye. Like, just like, like, he, I think he knows to get us, I think if she's trying to get their ducks in a row, you know, probably need different people to step up as far as donating to do the buyout. There are certain families that go to

pretty consistently for stuff like this. And I know Alford has done so many, you know,

big time, really ambitious projects all in a row. Maybe some of those folks are tapped out or

temporarily tapped out at least. But I don't know how you can really try to run this back for next year to be.

To me, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Yeah, it doesn't.

Like, if you're a season ticket holder and they say, hey, Mike or else coming back,

I think you're willing to give up your season tickets, right?

Like, even if you lose your priority place, how many games are you making next year if Mike McRebbels the head coach? Like, you, what's the drive from Jacks? Three? Yeah, about two and a half. Yeah, almost three. I mean, so, like, for certain games, that's a hotel night. Yeah.. That's a two night minimum. That's also like, if you're a busy person and you are, like, you value your weekends. You know, the way this team's playing right now, there's no way in hell I go to a game. Like, like, they give shitty effort. They give worse effort in coaching. It's like there's no,

there's no reason to go support this team right now. Like they're not giving you a product worth paying for it. And if you're already pot committed, you already bought your season tickets or, you know, if it's parents weekend or, you know, whatever, I get it, right? And it's still a fun experience to go to Tallahassee. Like, you know, Madison Social is not having a bad year, right?

Like, that's still an awesome place to go to Tallahassee. Like, you know, Madison Social is not having a bad year, right?
