Garnet and Old

Tonight on Garnet & Old, Vince and Ryan go full C-SPAN After Dark — but with more spear plants and more yelling We open with the biggest college athletics story of the week: the Protect College Sports Act of 2026 advanced out of the Senate Commerce Committee by a 19–9 vote and now heads to the full Senate. The bill would create national rules for NIL, athlete protections, transfer/eligibility...

Tonight's episode comes to you from two very different locations. Vince is checking in from Miami on his way to a cruise, living his best life somewhere between a beach chair and a buffet line. Ryan, meanwhile, is holding down the fort in Georgia, desperately searching for enough FSU news to justify an entire podcast. So naturally, we're doing a show anyway. As always, thank you for hang...

FSU softball got portal-punched 🥎💥 after losing elite stars Isa Torres and Jaysoni Beachum. That is not a roster tweak — that is the softball version of losing your Wi-Fi, your wallet, and your starting quarterback in the same afternoon. Torres entered the portal after winning ACC Player of the Year and D1Softball National Player of the Year, while Beachum’s exit made it two cornerstone losses i...

Welcome to the least-prepared episode in show history. Usually we'd spend this space telling you exactly what we're covering in the world of FSU football, baseball, softball, recruiting, conference realignment, NIL, and whatever fresh chaos Florida State fans are arguing about online. Unfortunately, that would require planning. Tonight's show was assembled with the same level of pre...

“Offseason?” ... Nah. We've got some great topics on the ledger for tonight...🍢🔥 This week on Garnet & Old, Vince is taking the wheel as we dive into FSU’s May Madness: ⚾ Regionals — Florida State Baseball is hosting the Tallahassee Regional as the Noles start their postseason push toward Omaha. 👑 Royalty — Isa Torres is officially softball royalty after earning National Player of the...

It’s a loaded week in Florida State sports, and tonight Ryan is flying solo because Vince is MIA. 🎙️ Which means the adult supervision has left the building. 🚨 This week on Garnet & Old, Ryan breaks down a packed FSU slate: baseball entering ACC Tournament chaos, football landing a new quarterback commitment, and softball’s incredible season ending in heartbreak. 🍢 Florida State baseball ent...

Florida State is bringing the postseason vibes, rivalry smoke, and conference drama all in one beautiful garnet-and-gold buffet. This week on Garnet & Old, we’re talking FSU Softball earning the right to host a regional after snatching another conference crown like it was sitting unattended at Doak. The Noles are hot, the bracket is spicy, and postseason softball in Tallahassee is officially m...

FSU and Georgia’s long-awaited home-and-home series has officially been canceled, with both schools reportedly working toward a possible 2028 neutral-site game in Tampa instead. Translation: college football scheduling has entered its “corporate retreat with shoulder pads” era. The ACC and SEC’s shift toward nine-game conference schedules helped push the series off the board, and yes, the bag appe...

It’s gonna be May. Unfortunately for FSU baseball, Stanford made sure it was also gonna be stress. 😬⚾ After last week’s rebound talk, the Noles just took the kind of road sweep that hits different. So now the question is not whether fans should be annoyed. Of course they should. The real question is whether Stanford exposed this team, or just gave everybody the cold, frosted-tip, early-2000s rem...

The sweep mattered. Now football has a real quarterback answer. The question is whether either development should change how confident fans actually feel. FSU baseball gave fans a real response weekend, but the bigger question still hangs over this team: was Notre Dame the reset, or just a temporary emotional bounce? And now that Ashton Daniels has reportedly been named QB1, the football conversat...

FSU baseball finally hit the kind of weekend that changes the conversation. The Georgia Tech sweep was not just a mark in the loss column. It was the first clean stress test of the season, and now the real question is simple: did this weekend expose a temporary problem, or something more serious? Tune into the conversation as we break down what the structure of that sweep actually told us, what a...

This week’s Florida State sports mood board is simple: PAIN. PRESSURE. POWER. The pain? FSU baseball losing to Florida again. Because apparently the baseball gods woke up and chose violence. Now the Noles head into a massive showdown with Georgia Tech, where the pressure gets turned all the way up. The pressure? Football spring practice is rolling toward the final scrimmage on Saturday, and everyb...

You knew we couldn't let this week slide without talking about THE word. You know the one. Mediocre. Four-star recruit Izayah Vickers visits FSU spring practice, a message board LOSES their minds over a misquote, and suddenly there's a bunch of damage control on social media and a podcast. Meanwhile, ESPN is out there using the word "mediocre" in the same sentence as Florida St...

The Seminole Stampede has begun 🤠 Football camp is underway, baseball and softball are rolling, basketball might not be dead, and somehow Tallahassee hosted bull riding… which honestly feels on brand at this point. This week on Garnet & Old: 🏈 First impressions from Week 1 of FSU football camp ⚾ Baseball and Softball looking like real contenders 🏀 Hoops rebuilding… but not hopeless? (NIT?...

If FSU Spring practice happens and no one is there to see it… is it really happening? 🦗 We’ll talk about what little we’ve gathered from camp, what it means, and whether Norvell and the staff are  cooking in silence 🤐 or just (unnecessarily) hiding from the masses. Meanwhile, FSU Men’s Basketball 🏀 is on an absolute heater and has Duke on deck tonight hoping to generate some post season CHAOS....

Florida State Spring Practice is coming… But if you’re part of the media — ACCESS DENIED. Once again, FSU football practice is basically locked down like Area 51, and with no Spring Game AGAIN, fans and reporters are left to their own devices to figure out what’s actually happening and if there is ANYTHING to get excited about. On tonight’s episode of Garnet & Old, Vince and Ryan break down:...

The Seminole Booster Tour is officially OFF for this offseason… NO TOUR FOR YOU. 🫵 What does this mean for FSU? Is this strategic? Financial? Or is this just the higher ups reading the room? 👀 Tonight, we break down: - Why the Booster Tour isn’t happening this year - What it could signal about the program in 2026 AND in the most Florida State plot twist ever… The Savannah Bananas are coming to D...

Party on, Noles. 🤘 Florida State was just ranked the #1 Party School in America…Partying like its 1993.🎶 And this week? The athletic department decided to celebrate properly. 🏀 Basketball just stacked big wins — including a comeback over Boston College and a dominant performance against Virginia Tech. The timing? Impeccable. ⚾ Baseball opened the season with a series win and a few run rules....

It’s a LEGACY episode. 🦀 Jameis Winston speaks on the state of college football and reveals his reported $1M+ donation. As if NoleNation could love this guy even more... ⛳ Charlie Woods commits to FSU Golf over his father’s alma mater of Stanford. That’s right. Tiger’s son said, “I’ll take Tallahassee.” The Nole bloodline grows stronger. Charlie Woods, ya'll... We break down: • What Charlie...

Is Florida State actually broke… or is the internet bad at reading financial reports? Sportico called FSU the “Debt King,” Gus Malzahn retired, and chaos immediately followed. It was a busy week in college football. Sportico dropped a headline claiming Florida State became college sports’ “Debt King” in FY25, and Seminole Twitter went into full panic mode while rival fans celebrated like they just...

The ACC (and maybe the football gods themselves) have unveiled Florida State’s 2026 football schedule… and buddy, it is NOT for the weak (or the weekend, get it?). Road trips, heavy hitters, and zero mercy. We break down why this slate feels like a punishment and what it means for FSU’s necessity to GET MARKEDLY BETTER. Meanwhile, Recruiting Junior Days are bringing good vibes, blue-chip smiles, a...

Choose NOT to dwell #NoleFamily... FSU positives exist — on the field, in the trenches, and across the university. 🐐 Peter Warrick is officially a College Football Hall of Famer — a long-overdue recognition for one of the greatest ever to wear the Garnet & Gold. ↩️ While others may be leaving, not Kevin Wynn.

The Transfer Portal giveth… and the Portal taketh away. This week on Garnet & Old, we break down the constant comings and goings from the Noles 2026 roster — including the on again, off again, on again departure of Earl Little Jr., dealing with twins, some sneaky-good trench additions, and what it all means for next season's FSU campaign. Is this controlled chaos or just chaos chaos? Has...

🎶 Woke up quick at the start of the year… 🎶 …and found out Papuchis was GONE, Duce Robinson is BACK, and Florida State just might be getting serious about 2026. That’s right, Nole Nation — 2026 is coming in hot: ✌️ John Papuchis is finally OUT (pour one out for the fake punts that died in vain) 🔁 Duce Robinson reversed course and is coming BACK to terrorize ACC DBs for another year 🎉 We’re kic...
