Welcome to On The Bench. I'm your host for this episode,

Bread and Sonone. Join my vibe. Bye, my buddy. Bye.

Easy for you to say.

I'm joined by Chris Knee as we are packing our bags to go to Jacksonville for the next few days.

FSU is about to go to some sort of like junction boy type of deal at UNF and annual tradition. I'm like any other for a few days of preseason camp.

We're going to get to that in a few minutes, but first some topical news for Florida State, including the loss of Darryl Jackson more than likely for the 2023 season due to him not getting his his hardship waiver.

As we get into that, I want to give a shout out to our two sponsors, Chad and Nuga whiskey. I do an amazing job with craft distillery or craft distilling throughout the southeast.

I think Chris, I'm going to go ahead and pick up a bottle I heard rumors of a really good weeded whiskey that they've done that dropped recently at a liquor store here in town.

I think about getting a bottle for our trip, not for a while we're driving, obviously, during responsibly for in the evening after we've covered camp for a day and we got dain in the hotel and want to get a little loose. Never mind.

Chad and Nuga whiskey is our sponsor. I got awkward real fast.

And they do an amazing job. They're right. They're right whiskey's awesome. I don't even like love right usually and they do a great job with it.

So I want to try my hands at a at their weeded version. I think that'll be fun. Then also I usually I'm apologizing to the Turner group, the Turner group calling Amy Turner doing amazing job buying and selling homes and central Florida throughout the state of Florida.

Under the color Williams umbrella. They do a fantastic job of of doing a boutique agency in a way that does high volume as well as because they work so hard they're so well connected.

They're looking to get into the housing market. The Turner group is who we would recommend. Also Chris, you got a little bit of a victory lap. There was an Instagram post so that Becky had her one year anniversary at the Turner group. So I knew I knew I wasn't completely nuts.

Not not totally.

Yeah, those are our two sponsors. Shout out to them. Let's get into this Chris. Oh, and then the back end of the podcast after we do about 20 minutes or so on the topical stuff.

We're going to continue our 2013 10 year anniversary interview series with try rolling myself talking to different players and coaches from that team.

It's been such a hectic two weeks or so though we had to put pause on it because commitments, alignment, camp starting to get to the newsy stuff. So pop screen as he was known during his time at Florida state was a was an important like reserve receiver on that team and and someone's going to have some good insights into what that offense was like.

Like practicing with James Winston and that wide receiving core. So Chris, let's get into it. Darryl Jackson, FSU's defense attack will transfer from Miami. They had applied for a hardship waiver when he first got to campus around when he got to campus back in December, January timeframe, technically enrolled in January got to campus December is obviously some stuff that happened in between then as well.

FSU gets word officially about four days ago now as we're recording this podcast and announced technically yesterday. So three days ago that neural Jackson would not be eligible to play the season per the NCAA as it denied his hardship waiver.

Mike Morvel addressed it to us Chris. I guess let's start there. What were Mike Morvel's comments about and I guess how did you how did you take the conversation with Mike and Darryl who spoke to us afterwards as well about the announcement in that news.

Yeah, both of us spoke with us after practice on Tuesday afternoon. So yesterday afternoon.
