And the Welcome to On the Bench, I am your host for this episode. Brennan Sinone. I'm joined by Chris Knee. We are recording this live on our YouTube channel for those listening to the podcast version. I'll have it up with the next couple hours on

Tuesday evening and Tuesday evening is kind of a holiday Chris it's camp Eve

happy can't Eve yeah I think this is the earliest start July 24th will be official start date of Ephesies Camp

because they play week zero and they have to travel to Dublin

so it moves it up even further

than last time they played week zero.

I would say like usually like all the summer was a

slog and December through the spring was a slog and it was quite quite a

exhausting to cover and to kind of deal with all the fallout of multiple things,

lawsuits, snub, what not happening at once, but this summer flew by.

I think part of it is like this was a short summer because of what we mentioned Chris.

Things start earlier for FSU, but like May, June, July,

like I have moved pretty swiftly.

And I think for me, it's like I'm actually really

interested and excited and intrigued about what this team's going to be

because there's so many variables to it. Are you feeling that way? Yeah I'm

excited for football to be played again and for us to get back to football I'm

kind of tired of lawsuits and realignment talking all of that stuff.

And truthfully, I don't even really enjoy the recruiting aspect of it a whole heck of a lot anymore either,

so I much prefer just to actually watch football practice and then football games and see how it all plays out.

I think this team has a high ceiling, but I also think the floor is a little bit lower than

we've dealt with in the last year, maybe more on part with what we expect about two years ago from a floor standpoint.
