Show notes

We’re closing in on Florida State opening the new college football season in Ireland and the hosts of Sharpen the Point, a college football gambling and daily fantasy sports podcast on the Everything Noles podcast channel, are getting you set for the year ahead.

Expanded playoffs and conference realignment puts more teams, more games and more players in FSU’s path to the College Football Playoff. As ACC champ or contending for an at-large bid, the Noles will face some of the best of the rest to get back to the top of college football. Leading up to the start of the year, Brian Pellerin and Chris Tyndall preview the group of five and each conference’s CFP contenders with a Florida State lens in mind. It’s a lot to keep track of, but we’re helping consolidate it all in one place for you.

So far, they’ve covered the top Group of 5 playoff contenders, including the Seminoles’ Sept. 14 opponent — the Memphis Tigers, broke down the ultra-competitive Big 12 and took a look at the SEC to see who could be standing in the way come December.

On today’s Big Ten preview, the first of two parts, they take a deep look into the first half of the Big Ten alphabetically — Illinois through Northwestern. Can Michigan weather the loss of Jim Harbaugh, Blake Corum and J.J. McCarthy through a tumultuous offseason to make the College Football Playoff once again? Can Nebraska turnaround their close losses from a year ago and be a dark horse for the Big Ten title game?

Seminole Softball Wrap: FSU softball's Allison Royalty on journey through change, growth and perseverance Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

The Seminole Softball Wrap podcast is back with its first episode of the 2024-2025 offseason. This time hosts Gwyn Rhodes and Brian Pellerin are joined by a special guest — former Florida State pitcher Allison Royalty.

In her two years in garnet and gold, Royalty held a 2.70 ERA across 55 appearances, totalling 15 wins. In the early parts of the 2024 season, the Arizona State transfer rose to an ace role before her season and college career were ultimately cut short due to injuries.

In this interview, Allison shares stories from her time in Tallahassee including:

The injury that forced her to end her the year early, when she knew it was time to stop and how long she pitched through pain.
Her perspective on what allowed FSU’s freshmen to find so much success this season and why she expects the growth from the team this year to propel the Noles back to OKC in 2025.
Her experience in the transfer portal from entering her name to taking visits and eventyally picking a school and why the Florida State coaching staff is what ultimately led her to choose FSU over an in-state rival.
And how Coacha’s guidance both on and off the field helped her grow as a player and person through the challenges of a new school and feeling uncertain of her mechanics.

Seminole Softball Wrap: FSU’s season ends in Super Regionals — looking back at 2024 and NCAA Tournament run, looking ahead to 2025 May 30, 2024

Show notes

For the second straight season, the Florida State softball year ended at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners -- this time in the Super Regionals. The 2-0 sweep was a mixed bag for the short-staffed Seminoles as they were quickly run-ruled in Game 1 but were able to keep Game 2 tight with some mixing and matching in the circle.

On this week’s episode of the Seminole Softball Wrap podcast, Gwyn Rhodes and Brian Pellerin discuss each game, the challenges Florida State faced as well as the return of Makenna Reid from the stress fracture in her back that kept her out for more than a month.

Plus, they look at the shape of the roster heading into the offseason, what they’re losing in this senior class and what they need to add to return to title contention in 2025.

Note: After we recorded the podcast, news broke that Madi Balk entered the transfer portal. This news will be discussed on the next episode.

Seminoles softball: FSU wins Tallahassee Regional but pitching questions surround Florida State ahead of series vs. Oklahoma -- Super Regionals preview, predictions, analysis May 23, 2024

Show notes

A familiar face is on deck for Florida State softball to face off against at the Super Regional stage.

After sweeping through the Tallahassee Regional this past weekend, the Seminoles’ quest to return to the Women’s College World Series brings them to Norman Super Regional for a rematch of last season’s championship series with the Oklahoma Sooners.

While these Sooners aren’t the same as last year’s 61-1 team, they’re just as dangerous with a lineup that ranks third in the country in scoring, averaging north of 8 runs per game, and a pitching staff headlined by Oklahoma State transfer Kelly Maxwell.

It’s a tough combination for a Seminoles team that lost Allison Royalty for the season to an injury suffered during the Tallahassee Regional championship and still faces questions about the availability of Makenna Reid who hasn’t hit the circle for FSU in more than a month.

On this episode of the Seminole Softball Wrap, Gwyn Rhodes and Brian Pellerin discuss the impact of Royalty’s injury, the team’s impressive regional sweep, their history against Kelly Maxwell during her time in Stillwater and the challenge ahead from OU.

Plus, we recap Gwyn’s regional picks and have her break down the Super Regional action.
