Time to smash it up on a Monday night, Ira Shofel, the managing editor of Warchant.com.

My name is Tom Lang.

And cheers, everybody.

I brought a little wine to the party site, Ira.

There we go.

I like it.

Yeah.

I like it.

Feeling a little bit of some Carolina influence.

Just any time the basketball team has some success, you feel that tobacco road kind of

waft on down.

So I figured a little red wine wouldn't be a bad idea.

We'll get mostly to football tonight, everybody.

But I mean, we got to talk about a good week for the Knowles basketball team.

And Darren Green had a hell of a week. And then Noel's got a big win, the most legitimate win of the season, on the road to Pitt. Not bad. Yeah, not bad at all. You know, look, I mean, we know through the years, even when Florida State's been really good, they've had a hard time winning up there. That's a tough place to play.

For whatever reason, Florida State has just never seemed to play all that well up there. And so you go into this game thinking, well, okay, this is a team that's not all that good. And this is a solid Pitt team. Pitt was not good last year, but they've had a really good start to this year. And they've got a veteran team. and then they get out to a fast start.

And like everybody, I was just thinking,

okay, this is going to be an ugly one. And, man, it was not at all. They played from about, I don't know, four or five minutes. Leonard had to call a timeout to stop the bleeding. He was trying to get to the under 16 timeout. I think they're down 15 to 5. And he finally called the time out to stop the bleeding. He did that. And then really the rest of the game, other than a portion of the second

half, Florida State really dominated the action. It was impressive. Again, to go on the road

and do that was really cool. Yeah, that stretch in the second half where Pitt kind of reclaimed the lead, the building's going nuts. You're thinking, well, that was a good run. Good job,

guys, because our bar is so low, you know, they won't finish the job, but you know what? Way to show

out there and not embarrass yourselves or anything like that. And instead, it turns out to be a moment
