“either the first loss for them or the first win for us” got me lol

[@plantthespear]

We're going through it right now 😅

[@whit1678]

Happy Birthday Friend!

[@michaelhinton9641]

Thank you!!

[@plantthespear]

FSU vs. Cal Preview starts at 01:07:42 I got a few of my giving and getting points terminology backward in the picks section 😵‍💫 My bad, but you'll ve able to understand what I mean. Thanks and Go Noles!!

[@flch95]

Staying in the ACC until 2030 is unfortunately the best option. Like you say, we’d have to pay a buyout AND not likely get full share in the P2 and that’s if they let you on before their tv deal expirations. Even if we make less until 2030 we’d still come out ahead money wise in the meantime

[@bigweez25]

NIco is not a true freshman. He was in 2023 class

[@plantthespear]

I was thinking he was a redshirt freshman, but I let him roll with it because I wasn't sure. 😅

[@whit1678]

Have always been a Mike Norvell fan but he needs to start showing some common sense and make some changes. GO NOLES!!

[@plantthespear]

Agreed. Gotta roll with guys who play hard and want to win. Go Noles!!

[@mikemulrennan7948]

Or he’ll be gone. No recruiting.. no coaching.. the plug and play caught up with us. Make coaching changes.. get recruiting amped up. You’ve got to have talent and develop or you can’t be elite. Mike looks shocked like wtf happened? It’s easy to see you have average coaches and recruiting except for surtain and maybe a couple of others.. scrap them!!

[@whit1678]

Where are You guys tailgating for this game?

[@plantthespear]

Unfortunately, I (Jesse) won't be able to make this game. I believe Michael is going, but he drives over the day of the game, so I'm not sure what he has planned.

[@Arab2020]

Man Cal go beat us if we dont make a qb change

[@plantthespear]

With our OL, we're probably gonna lose anyway lol I hope we see Brock tomorrow, but whoever is out there is gonna have to get some help from OL and WRs.

[@Arab2020]

@@plantthespear Mike need to stop pulling these guards and tackles to help this line. We are 300+ across the board. We need to run inside zone and duo the whole game, put a hat on a hat come off the ball do double teams and let the rb read the lb

[@plantthespear]

Totally agree there. We haven't run counter successfully since 2022. Gotta make it easy on them when they are struggling.

[@MichaelMadden-g8q]

Norvell needs to give up offensive play calling and find an offensive coordinator that can coach the offense!! FSU's offense sucked the last half of last year and continues this year!

[@mitchwade3139]

What about Trevar?

[@zoe_zucci]

We watched Jordan Travis and Trey Benson make special plays on offense to get us wins. Mike Norvell has really done nothing on offense for 5 seasons.

[@mitchwade3139]

He is the only dual qb

[@mitchwade3139]

Lbs have to pick the right gap! They haven’t all year. The DE’s need to stop crashing down and getting beat on outside runs

[@boweevil8390]

Let DJU run the Statue of Liberty play. He moves like a concrete statue already.

[@mitchwade3139]

If Cal stacks the box, wildcat won’t work

[@johnshields8992]

THE SPEAR IS BROKEN AND THE CLIMB HAS FALLEN. GO CANES!!!

[@MichaelMadden-g8q]

The climb has turned into the slide and the decline is getting increasingly steep!! 1-11 @ best!!!

[@whit1678]

With all due respect, wildcat is not the answer. All you are doing is telling the defense you are running. How is that different than having DJU at qb and not able to run? Still one dimensional. We need Brock. GO NOLES!

[@plantthespear]

It's not necessarily the answer, but it's something different to try. It's all about getting the numbers advantage and getting someone who can run the ball with it in their hands. DJ is just not a great runner. It worked in the ACC title game, so it's hard to say that it's not worth a try when we can't do anything else.

[@keyroncampbell-sr3cz]

Haven't won since 2023....😂😂😂

[@mikeholley4488]

I just have a feeling we figure out how to move the ball tomorrow. My money is going towards FSU this week

[@plantthespear]

I have a weird gut feeling that we figure it out this week, too. I'm just not confident in picking them until they show me they are ready to win. I hope I'm wrong. I'm also trying some reverse psychology this week 😅 Go Noles!!

[@flch95]

Good luck telling all those other idiot knucklehead fan bases it’s about eyeballs and not wins and losses. It’s maddening having to explain that…but but but FSU hasn’t won anything blah blah blah…”we beat y’all so y’all don’t deserve any money”, “y’all think y’all too good for us but you lose to xyz team”, blah blah blah…

It’s about the long game not what’s going on today. People are short sighted and basically brain dead.
