Austin Fletcher Season 4 Episode 383
SPEAKER_00:

I'm goddamn mattered shit. Let me ask you one question.

SPEAKER_01:

The North Florida sport is for North Florida North Florida sport on network networks for net for this.

SPEAKER_03:

Hey, it's an instant reaction. It's a loss. To Virginia 46-38 in double overtime. FSU falls to 3-1 on the season. In a trap game. Trap game, and you let Virginia hang around. And Chandler Morris gave it everything he had, was running all over the place. 46 points given up by that defense. That's not gonna get it done. Drop pass at the end by Deuce Robinson, who had a hell of a game. But he couldn't hang on to what fire everybody. Yeah. Fire fucking. Couldn't hang on to the pass that would have given the chance to have a two-point conversion.

SPEAKER_02:

Who cares? 46 points to Virginia.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

I nah. Fuck this team, man. Well, we talked about it before the season.

SPEAKER_03:

Fuck this season. This is one of those games where you have the game where the Alabama game, everybody's so happy about it, but then you go out. Doesn't mean shit. Doesn't go out and you're 0-1 now in the ACC. Right. You Virginia's 2-0. You don't have the tiebreaker with them. And guess what? You have the best team in the conference coming into your house next week. It's probably going to be 0-2.

SPEAKER_02:

No, listen to me. I would be shocked if this team isn't 3-3 after Pitt. Oh, wow, really? Yeah, really. You just gave up 46 points. To a team that was down their top three offensive linemen. Yeah, that that no sacks. No defensive pressure. They did whatever the fuck they wanted.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, they did. Yeah, they did. Nah, man. Chandler Morris was 26 at 35 for 229 yards. Ran all up your ass. Two touchdowns, had three picks, but he ran for four touchdowns.

SPEAKER_02:

Done fucking matter. Nah, man. No. This ain't it. Dude, fuck this team. Fuck this staff. Get them the fuck out of here. The sooner the better. It's not listen. We all recognize that 2023 was was fucked up. You got shitted on. That's it. You're not getting better than that.

SPEAKER_03:

Mmm. Tough. This this is a heartbreaker.

SPEAKER_02:

Nah, it's a heartbreaking loss. Whatever, dude. You can't fucking recruit. You can't do anything. You just gave up 46 points to a team that was down their top three offensive linemen. Right. Like.

SPEAKER_03:

No. No. It's a bad one. You had plenty of time to prepare for them, too.

SPEAKER_02:

Right. You played two asshole teams before this game. Like, no. Get the fuck out of my face. It's it. Find another head coach. Find another staff. That's just pathetic. Pathetic.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, I think I think you gotta get all right. If I no, there there are no bad loss. I think the defense got exposed. Right, there's no pass rush. There's nothing. Yeah, the defense was exposed to the crossing routes.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, there there's nothing.

SPEAKER_03:

I think this team has been watched on film and they had a response for them. And defensively, man. They got nothing. That was bad. You're gonna lose. It was hard to watch. Virginia did whatever they wanted.

SPEAKER_02:

You're gonna lose next week. You're gonna have to do everything you can not to lose to Pitt. Luckily, the ACC sucks. So you have a winning season, hopefully. That one hurt.

SPEAKER_03:

You're 0-1 in the ACC, though, right off the bat. Castellanos had uh two picks, one at the end. I don't know if that was uh had a touchdown's first touchdown against power forward competition, 254 yards, um, 14 carries and a rushing for 78 yards and a touchdown. But um they weren't able to run the ball as much as maybe they thought they should have. Although the this is on the defense. It's not it's not like they tried to run the ball. Uh they they did turn the ball over in the first half. Um they kept throwing it. Yeah, I thought that was a uh they had a fumble by Saw Chuck. That was a bad fumble. Yeah. We said the one thing you can't do is turn the ball over and you'll win this game. Well, the only turn the ball over you win the game.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, the interception shouldn't have been thrown in the first place. It was on first down. You were running the ball fine.

SPEAKER_03:

Some questionable calls.

SPEAKER_02:

They ran the ball fine. Um they probably shouldn't have thrown the ball more than five times in the entire game. Yeah. But whatever. I mean, look at the you had uh you gave up 46 fucking points.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

That that's inexcusable. Right.

SPEAKER_03:

26 and 35 for Chandler Morris said 229 yards on the through the air.

SPEAKER_02:

Right, so a guy can throw three interceptions and still hang 46 fucking points on you. He had three rushing touchdowns. Whatever, dude. Just get rid of these coaches. I'm I'm I'm tired of this shit. This is year five. Like whatever, man. You're not in Memphis anymore.

SPEAKER_03:

That did just seem like one of those Memphis games.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. You're not you're not you're not in Memphis anymore, man. You go on the road against an unranked team and you get fucking beat. Like, get out of here. You're getting paid ten million dollars in fucking year. And you get beat. Get the fuck out of here.

SPEAKER_03:

They started slow. They didn't score in the first quarter.

SPEAKER_02:

Down 14 to nothing. Uh they up 21-14, and you give up a fucking touchdown before half.

SPEAKER_03:

That was that was not good. Missed a field goal coming out of the second half. 26-yard touchdown. There um Little came up, tried to make a hit, did not wrap up, and they end up scoring tie in the game. And I think that's they literally did whatever they wanted to after that. They did whatever the hell they wanted to after that. And because in the second half, you miss a field goal in your opening drive, they come down and score.

SPEAKER_02:

You're gonna end up being up being the worst fucking loss for Alabama on the season. You're gonna be their wake-up call. When they sit here and run off fucking nine, ten wins in a row, you're gonna be their wake-up call. And finish the season eight and four, seven and five, whatever. Get the fuck out. I'm tired of this shit.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, the defense. I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_02:

Forty-six fucking points! You give up more than NC State did. Their defense is terrible. You know what, Tony White, go take the UCLA job. Do it. Take it. You wanna be a head coach? Go fucking take it.

SPEAKER_03:

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine different receivers caught passes for Virginia. They had um three guys with five catches. No sacks. No fucking sacks. No sacks. Three offensive linemen down. And I think what the difference of the game was was not getting the quarterback on the ground and then letting him run on those big fourth downs. He had three rushing touchdowns. You dropped a you dropped your third down play in overtime that might have scored. And you had to settle for a field goal. I mean, you they batted down that pick against Castellanos after you drove down the field. Um doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_02:

But yeah, but when you do it doesn't fucking matter, dude. This this shouldn't have been a game. Like what what what the fuck are we doing?

SPEAKER_03:

FSU ran the ball for um uh out FSU outgained Virginia five hundred and fourteen to four thirty-seven. Um they had two hundred and fifty yard, two hundred and fifty-eight yards passing, two hundred and fifty-six yards rushing, averaged six point three yards per play to Virginia's two hundred and twenty-nine yards passing, two hundred and eight yards rushing. They averaged five point three yards of play. They did have twenty-eight first downs. Doesn't fucking matter. Which uh they were able to keep Florida State's offense off the field in the second half.

SPEAKER_02:

Right, right. Because what it all comes down to is you can't fucking recruit. You're relying on a on a on a roster full of transfers.

SPEAKER_03:

83 plays for Virginia, 81 for Florida State. Uh they just uh five penalties for FSU, four for Virginia. That's it, man. That's it. Nothing's changed. Nothing in possession. They they nicked the time possession 32 to 28. Nothing's changed, man.

SPEAKER_02:

But um we expected to go into this game two and one. Going into this game, it was gonna be the fucking litmus test. Instead, we were three and oh because somehow we beat Alabama. It doesn't fucking change anything.

SPEAKER_03:

It's almost worse. Right. You actually're 1-0 if you beat this, win this game and lose to Alabama, you're at least 1-0 in the conference.

SPEAKER_02:

You're at least 1-0 in the conference, but this shit doesn't change anything.

SPEAKER_03:

That's a tough one, man. And with Miami coming up next.

SPEAKER_02:

No, you're not winning next week. You're not fucking winning next week. They're gonna fuck you in the ass next week. On both sides of the trenches. You gotta hope that you still got a team left by the time you have to fucking take the field against Pitt.

SPEAKER_03:

Florida State only punted once. That was the first drive of the game.

SPEAKER_02:

Right. They did everything they could on offense. Defense got their shit pushed in.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean, they just can't turn the ball over, I guess. You can't miss a field goal. You can't suck. But damn, defense. You can't fucking suck. You can't get a stop. Can't get a stop. I like I'm gonna get it.

SPEAKER_02:

And they just grind it out first down after first down. Fuck out of here, dude. These these guys suck. Okay. Six, seven wins, somewhere around there. I said eight and four. Hey, whatever. Eight wins, great. It's it's a lot better than last year. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot better than last year. You replaced your entire team. You replaced your entire coaching staff.

SPEAKER_03:

Man, they just kept throwing those Virginia flashbacks. 95 flashbacks. I mean, they were waiting to rush the field and they got it. Whatever fuck ever, man.

SPEAKER_02:

Shouldn't have been ranked number eight to begin with. This guy's not it. It's not it. Find a way to get the buyout, fire this motherfucker, find a new coach. That's it. That's it. He had his little window of success the same way Jimbo did. You know? Jimbo had two years when he had Jameis. We were winning games. Besides that, he was a fucking four-loss coach on average. That's how it works. You know? Norvell had his little window there in 2023. They fucked him over. That's not debatable. You know, they fucked him over. You can look in the NFL and see that they like like that that team was for real. That's not a debate. That team was for real in 2023. But that's it. That's what he's got here. So get a lot of money. Yeah, he's got a lot of money. Great. Pay him. Get him the fuck out of here. Get somebody else here that knows how to recruit and knows how to fucking put a roster together. Because this shit was pathetic.

SPEAKER_03:

Lose to Virginia. On the road. Right. Just that one was painful. Just a painful loser.

SPEAKER_02:

It's not a good team. You you forced three fucking turnovers against them and you still gave up 46 points.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, they couldn't get they couldn't stop Virginia.

SPEAKER_02:

Even when they did, they shit all over themselves.

SPEAKER_03:

And then they can't catch the damn ball when they when it's right there in your breadbasket. At the end, you're when you think that they're gonna lose, they're like, oh, we catch it, and then whatever. Whatever.

SPEAKER_02:

Frustrating loss. Dude, it it is. They're gonna lose again next week. They'll probably lose a week after that. You know, the shitty teams on the schedule, they they'll probably be able to beat. They're not losing to Pitt, man. Luckily, it's shit. Rich Rod beat Pitt. Luckily, there's a lot of shitty teams in the ACC. If they lose to Pitt, I'm joining you on the fire. They'll probably be able to go to a bowl game. Whoopty fucking do it.

SPEAKER_03:

That was the goal. And I think now is you gotta rewind yourself. I know it's getting.

SPEAKER_02:

You lower those expectations. That's where it was. Yeah. We had them lowered. And then they went out and beating. Well, they beat Alabama. They had everybody fooled. They had everybody fooled. Alabama didn't think they were gonna get hit in the fucking mouth. And they did. They got hit in the mouth. And Alabama might not be shit. Yeah, we'll find out. They haven't beat anybody.

SPEAKER_03:

Tomorrow they go to at Georgia. And that was my upset special. That's not looking too good. Um really upset with this game. Um, if I was an optimist, I would say Virginia's better. They have that quarterback is is a veteran quarterback. Virginia, Virginia ain't doing shit.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. They got they lost to fucking NC State.

SPEAKER_03:

It was just in the clouds tonight.

SPEAKER_02:

They lost to NC State. They're not doing shit. They're not gonna be in the ACC title game against Miami. They're not doing shit.

SPEAKER_03:

You just got batteries. Batted, batted interception was kind of lucky. Then they had a play that looked like Florida State was gonna intercept it, then they ended up catching it, making a big play, and scoring a touchdown. So those kind of plays. You got a bunch of fucking guys that that you know and then Florida State drops like wide open touchdowns.

SPEAKER_02:

So like there was the only good thing about this game was was Randy Pippen. That's it.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, Randy Pittman, Randy Pittman threw for a touchdown, ran for a touchdown, and caught a touchdown pass. Um, I would the only positive sign Steuze Robinson played well, except for and then the end he drops it. So it's like he has a great game, and then he friggin' the one time you need to come up big, you drop the fucking ball.

SPEAKER_02:

Wasn't on the offense, dude. It's on the defense.

SPEAKER_03:

The defense wasn't on the ball. We'd like to see another receiver step up. Uh I'd I'd like to see the defense.

SPEAKER_02:

I see I'd like to see the defense actually make us fucking stop. You give up 46 points. What the fuck are you doing?

SPEAKER_03:

The 16 play drive. Right. And that's followed by a 12-play. Like they went to the room.

SPEAKER_02:

That's what Tony White said, dude. You do what we did last week, we're gonna get fucking beat. And they did what they did last week. This defense sucks. All right? Linebackers not existent. No plays from the linebackers, no pass rush. That's it, man. This team is not good. They're mediocre. They're a fucking who gives a shit bowl team. That's it. It's better than last year, but guess what? We went two and ten last season. So who gives a shit?

SPEAKER_00:

I'm goddamn mad earned shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. I'm fucking mad, dude. Yeah. They're paying these guys a lot of fucking money to trot this bullshit out there. So whatever, man. Whatever. Whenever you get the buyout together, you fucking buy this guy out. You get him the fuck out of here. Send him back. Send him west of the Mississippi back to where he's. It's not doing shit, dude. Who gives a shit? Miami's gonna walk our fucking dog. Well, I mean, they they No, they're gonna walk, they're gonna kick the shit out of us. And they should. They got a better team. Yeah? Like they recruited better, they've done a better job. Like, this guy's a better coach. So there you go. That's what you get with.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm Miami. I'm I'm I'm actually kind of pissed. I mean, I'm like, this is actually gonna set up. Now everyone's gonna expect us to win. Florida State's gonna be pissed. Nothing to lose. Doesn't fucking matter.

SPEAKER_02:

They can run they dude, they can run the toss right all game. Yeah. We can't stop anybody.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

The team fucking sucks. 46 points to Virginia.

SPEAKER_04:

We had to go.

SPEAKER_03:

Ridiculous, man. We gotta get on out of here. Fuck it. God dang it. Whoa, I hate Friday night games. Because then you gotta wake up and watch. I gotta fucking go to work at 4 a.m. We're not watching shit. Then you gotta fuck about the rest of the football games. Great.

SPEAKER_02:

I hope every team that wants to win loses. I just wish every fan base to be fucking miserable tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03:

That was such a tough one. Heart-wrenching loss.

SPEAKER_02:

Huh? Hey man. Hey man, you get what you pay for. You locked in with this lose your fucking coach. Good job.

SPEAKER_03:

Man, that was it came crashing down.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, really did.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know what we're gonna do.

SPEAKER_02:

We're gonna win six games and say, hey man, that's three, that, that, that's fucking three times as many games as we won last year. So whoopdy fucking do.

SPEAKER_03:

We'll watch it again. There's a little bit of flukeishness to this loss, I think. There's no fluke. I think Virginia, you get this is college football nowadays. Parity is here. It's not parody, man. There's not parody. There's not dominant teams out there. You gave up 46 points. Yeah, this is a bad one, man. Get off the damn field.

SPEAKER_02:

Right?

SPEAKER_03:

Somebody put a spy on his ass.

SPEAKER_02:

Nah. Just whatever. Get me a new coaching staff. I don't give a fuck who it is. I don't care. Tired of this shit. You pay fucking$1 million a year. You could decrease what you're paying by a 90% and go in there and get beat by Virginia.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, uh, that's a tough one. We'll watch it. NFL tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02:

It's not tomorrow. It's Sunday.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, yeah, that's right. Because tonight was Friday night. God dang it.

SPEAKER_02:

We gotta watch a bunch of teams at the end.

SPEAKER_03:

Big college tomorrow. You got Penn State, Oregon. James Franken will shit to bed. And then you got Alabama, Georgia, then NFL. We'll talk. We'll watch him. We'll react to him and we'll talk to you on a football Monday right here on the North Florida Sports Network. That sucks.

SPEAKER_00:

Goddamn matters shit.
