OTB: It’s all BS, anyways Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

There’s plenty to be aggravated over and to be excited about in the world of Florida State football, and there’s also plenty to laugh at around college football. We check in on aggravation, excitement, and humor alike in this episode of On The Bench.

First it’s a look at FSU’s spot in the initial playoff rankings, and reference a gem of a quote of former OL Bryan Stork: “It’s all bullshit, anyways.” Indeed. We’ll get into the BS of it all.

Then we preview a trap game at Pittsburgh before going over the Armondo Blount drama from the week. And then, of course, it’s a pitstop into the interaction between Tyler from Spartanburg and Dabo.
