All right, everybody, welcome into a spring version of the Monday Smash presented by State Farm Agent Russ Forhes. He's Ira Schofel. My name is Tom Lang, and the engine is revving up. Slowly, we're getting into this acclamation period for all, right, Ira? How's it going tonight on a Monday for you, sir? It's going good, man. How you doing? Did you have a good weekend? I did have a good weekend.

I popped down to Orlando,

watched Daniel Berger play some good golf.

I wasn't there on Sunday, It's going good, man. How you doing? Did you have a good weekend? I did have a good weekend. I popped down to Orlando, watched Daniel Berger play some good golf.

I wasn't there on Sunday to see him, unfortunately, come home with the silver medal at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

But yes, I watched Florida State basketball from afar, and that was quite the ass kicking.

I know it got a little tight, but what they're doing right now on the court is very interesting to see. And they got a whole lot of momentum as they're the eight seat now in the ACC tournament this week. Yeah, man, it's going to be a lot of fun. And Matt Lassair, who works with us, our guy Matt is going to be going up there to Charlotte to cover the t tournament which should be a lot of fun i mean there was a time where we did know if fs u's men we is going to be going up there to Charlotte to cover the AC tournament, which should be a lot of fun. I mean, there was a time where we did know if FSU's men were going to make the AC tournament. We certainly weren't sure we were going to go cover it. But, man, they have been is one of the best teams. They've literally been one of the best teams in college basketball, not just the ACC over the last month or so. I mean, look at the way they played,

not just winning all these games, nine out of 12 or whatever it is, but also just, you know,

some of these games are just dominating people. And they've let people come back into the games.

But when you're getting 20-point leads on the regular, that says a lot. And I'm excited to see

what they do, man. Cal's will be a good game on

Wednesday, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they win that game. And I don't think they're going to get blown out if they play Duke. I mean, I think this is just a good basketball team that really believes. And when you, when you have a team that's got some ability and you really believe, you can do some cool things.

That's the thing.

What basketball is doing right now

is what I think we all hope football will do this year,

which. it's got some ability and you really believe you can do some cool things. That's the thing. What basketball is doing right now is what I think we all hope football will do this year, which is pleasantly surprise you and leave you satisfied, even though you know that there's room for improvement, there's likability. You win some games that you don't expect to win. You don't need to start the equivalent of 0 and 5 in the ACC this football season. You don't have to do that necessarily. But you want to feel like you said it today on the Jeff Cameron Show. I wish they played for longer. I wish there were some more weeks, some more time to watch this basketball team play. That's what I think what we're hoping for the football team. We'll get to football in just a second here, but I did want to ask,

courtside with Coach J. Ride has been a great feature this year.

Are you guys thinking about doing that before the ACC tournament and Wednesday's game?

Are you thinking about maybe doing a post-fact if there's one magical week in Charlotte,

courtside with Coach J. Ride?

What's the plan for that this week?

That's a good question. Jacob Ridenauer, who is the star of the show, former FSU basketball
