00:00:01.429 --> 00:00:02.979
the North Florida sports.
00:00:02.979 --> 00:00:04.993
Welcome back.
00:00:04.993 --> 00:00:07.974
This is North Florida Sports Network.
00:00:07.974 --> 00:00:18.173
I have a pleasure to be joined by defensive tackle Number zero Gosh, what a baller man.
00:00:18.173 --> 00:00:21.879
Number zero came back 13 and 0.
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:22.400
Fabian Love.
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.870
It joins the North Florida Sports Network.
00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:30.728
What's the number one thing that's going on, fabian?
00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:32.948
What's going on, my man?
00:00:36.274 --> 00:00:36.960
How's it going, man?
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.310
How are you doing ever since December 3rd?
00:00:43.084 --> 00:00:49.945
I've been good Getting ready to prepare for the next steps of life, get ready for the next challenge.
00:00:52.084 --> 00:00:54.265
I'll tell you what you got a.
00:00:54.265 --> 00:01:01.725
It's tough, you know, because, like I would say, you look back at this team or that team and nobody, because it's never happened before.
00:01:01.725 --> 00:01:04.766
Can you take me there?
00:01:04.766 --> 00:01:09.224
Let me start back a year ago, because you know I was.
00:01:09.224 --> 00:01:13.498
You could have gone and played in the NFL last year.
00:01:13.498 --> 00:01:17.028
What made you want to come back this season?
00:01:18.566 --> 00:01:29.707
Because this is going to be the last chance to team like this together and for me to be a part of it, and then they would do some special and for us to be able to be remembered for a long time well, forever.
00:01:29.707 --> 00:01:30.771
Now, you know.
00:01:31.906 --> 00:01:32.893
Yeah, that actually.
00:01:32.893 --> 00:01:38.819
Yeah, I don't think anybody will ever forget this team and what was so great to watch.
00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:41.713
You know you've been here since.
00:01:41.713 --> 00:01:44.980
You know it was not that it wasn't like it was now.
00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:52.000
Can you describe, you know, the process that that's been when, once Mike came in?
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.548
Can you kind of take me through that, through your perspective?
00:01:56.447 --> 00:02:01.950
Honestly, it was a crazy process, but it was like tough but like at the same time it made us who we are and made us.
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:05.000
It made us able to be able to do what we did this year and dominate.
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:11.000
It took us four years to be able to get this 13, and no record Like this didn't just happen overnight.
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:17.086
It started from when he first got here, and what a lot of people don't know is the same stuff we was doing back then.
00:02:17.086 --> 00:02:19.000
We was losing, is the same stuff we're doing now.
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000
It just took time for it to all fall in play.
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:26.763
Man, that's, that's exactly what I thought man it looks like.
00:02:26.763 --> 00:02:29.473
You know, mike is a man of.
00:02:29.473 --> 00:02:33.870
He practices what he preaches, does he have, what does he do for fun?
00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:35.243
Do you know I?
00:02:36.067 --> 00:02:36.930
don't really know.
00:02:37.364 --> 00:02:38.979
Sprints around, man runs up hills.
00:02:40.002 --> 00:02:41.848
Yeah, a lot of working out.
00:02:41.848 --> 00:02:42.308
I know that.
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:43.420
Right?
00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:47.711
Well, man, he, he did a great job and you guys worked your butts off.
00:02:47.711 --> 00:02:50.026
And I will say, man, I don't think any.
00:02:50.026 --> 00:03:01.347
I think FSU, every FSU fan out there, is probably just hurt because they saw how much work, how much was invested over the four years.
00:03:01.347 --> 00:03:02.610
You know like to.
00:03:02.610 --> 00:03:07.991
Just what would you say to it to come down into a board room?
00:03:07.991 --> 00:03:13.223
What would you say to those people in that room If you were there, like right after they announced it?
00:03:15.688 --> 00:03:19.015
Honestly, I wouldn't say nothing because at the end of the day, I can't control that.
00:03:19.015 --> 00:03:21.070
I don't have no say so over that.
00:03:21.070 --> 00:03:22.590
At the end of the day, we did our best.
00:03:22.590 --> 00:03:24.456
We did what we could do.
00:03:24.456 --> 00:03:26.705
Like it hurts, don't get me wrong.
00:03:26.705 --> 00:03:31.974
It hurts, but like it ain't really nothing I can do about that.
00:03:31.974 --> 00:03:32.736
That's how they feel.
00:03:32.997 --> 00:03:35.188
That's true, man.
00:03:35.188 --> 00:03:36.473
That's such a good lesson.
00:03:36.473 --> 00:03:42.177
And I tell you what this team's never going to be forgot when it comes down to Seminoles.
00:03:42.177 --> 00:03:45.715
There's no, there's no fan that's never going to forget.
00:03:45.715 --> 00:03:46.889
You don't have to worry about that.
00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:53.206
But talk about the brotherhood that you gained here at Florida State, the memories that you'll never.
00:03:53.206 --> 00:03:55.794
That will always be remembered.
00:03:55.794 --> 00:04:01.137
I mean, there's a lot of teams that won championships that were remembered.
00:04:01.137 --> 00:04:09.775
This team is going to remember for not getting that opportunity to play for it, but what is something that would you want people to remember about this team?
00:04:11.468 --> 00:04:12.772
It was all in it to win it, man.
00:04:12.772 --> 00:04:16.593
It was all in it together, Like it was all in it together.
00:04:17.105 --> 00:04:21.487
Yep, you could tell I would take me.
00:04:21.487 --> 00:04:25.857
Can you take me to that defensive mindset after the injury to Jordan Travis?
00:04:25.857 --> 00:04:27.668
What, what?
00:04:27.668 --> 00:04:29.091
Because I'll tell you what man.
00:04:29.091 --> 00:04:33.403
You guys took it up another level, yeah.
00:04:35.127 --> 00:04:45.196
But like it just made us like I want to say it made us lock in more, but it does like be more stiff on doing our jobs, Yep.
00:04:46.024 --> 00:04:46.326
You know.
00:04:46.326 --> 00:04:49.252
Yes, sir, that's exactly what coach K was talking about.
00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:51.935
He had, he was, he spoke on it and he was.
00:04:51.935 --> 00:04:54.947
He said the decision was wrong, because what does he know, though?
00:04:54.947 --> 00:05:11.216
You know right, but he was talking about how a team can define itself in many ways and sometimes, when you lose a part of it, it, the brotherhood can shine through, and I thought you guys did exactly that, and he showed it each week.
00:05:11.216 --> 00:05:21.529
He showed it against Florida with a backup, and then more, more stuff came your way, and all you did was just show how to win, and what a great example that is.
00:05:21.529 --> 00:05:23.875
To just remember the good things of it.
00:05:23.875 --> 00:05:36.862
If you had to go back, I'll ask you this if I, if you had to go back to last year and I told you you guys are going to go 13 and 0 and they're not going to give you a chance to win the playoff, what would you have done?
00:05:37.386 --> 00:05:44.252
I think I would have still came back because, at the end of the day, I never get the malicious impact and the bars back that I built with my brothers.
00:05:44.252 --> 00:05:47.125
Like it's different, like it's different, like.
00:05:47.125 --> 00:05:54.675
I think I would have still came because, at the end of the day, the bars with my brothers, man and playing on the field is not like it's not like it.
00:05:54.675 --> 00:05:57.091
So I think I would have still came, just just because of that.
00:05:57.572 --> 00:05:57.673
Man.
00:05:58.384 --> 00:05:58.745
People don't like.
00:05:58.745 --> 00:05:59.226
It's never.
00:05:59.226 --> 00:06:02.394
Never about doing.
00:06:02.394 --> 00:06:07.194
I ain't going to say it's never about like what all other people think it is.
00:06:07.425 --> 00:06:07.947
Like it's more.
00:06:08.649 --> 00:06:10.293
For us, it's more of the brotherhood.
00:06:11.504 --> 00:06:12.608
Have you ever seen that movie?
00:06:12.608 --> 00:06:13.411
Along came Pauly.
00:06:14.928 --> 00:06:15.610
I don't think so.
00:06:15.651 --> 00:06:15.932
All right?
00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:21.346
Well, if you do, there's a part at the end where the guy's dad comes over and never says anything, the whole movie.
00:06:21.346 --> 00:06:25.728
But he talks to his like it's about the ride you know and the journey you take.
00:06:25.728 --> 00:06:28.026
That's what life's about and that's so.
00:06:28.026 --> 00:06:29.168
That's what you kind of saying, right?
00:06:29.911 --> 00:06:31.213
Yeah, yeah, basically.
00:06:31.735 --> 00:06:32.697
And you'll have that forever.
00:06:32.697 --> 00:06:32.976
Man.
00:06:32.976 --> 00:06:40.069
You know I've been hearing some talking heads around saying you know that they're devastated for you guys and everyone's sad.
00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:47.074
You know, and it's just like well, you know that you'll always have this memory to come back, 25 years from now.
00:06:47.074 --> 00:06:50.786
Like you guys aren't going to talk about getting snubbed, it's going to be.
00:06:50.786 --> 00:06:51.968
Do you remember that?
00:06:51.968 --> 00:06:53.973
That the memories you created, right?
00:06:55.357 --> 00:06:55.538
Yeah.
00:06:55.846 --> 00:06:57.351
And you created some fond ones.
00:06:57.351 --> 00:07:00.833
There are fans out there going to remember the times.
00:07:00.833 --> 00:07:04.793
You know, I don't like, I don't want to explain to my son like it was funny.
00:07:04.793 --> 00:07:12.831
I was watching the unveiling you know with and he's like some of my my mom was like I mean his mom, my wife, was like hey, what's?
00:07:12.831 --> 00:07:19.711
He was asking what was I doing and he's like watching football and he's like this doesn't look like football and it wasn't what they did.
00:07:19.711 --> 00:07:24.391
What they did hurt the sport man and you guys did everything you could.
00:07:24.391 --> 00:07:33.249
I think we should throw a parade for you, because you're never going to see this team again and they took that apart.
00:07:33.249 --> 00:07:34.427
We'll never know now.
00:07:35.290 --> 00:07:39.815
Yeah, because why the hell would you play in a game?
00:07:39.815 --> 00:07:41.187
No offense to the Orange Bowl.
00:07:41.187 --> 00:07:42.427
Why would you play down there?
00:07:45.403 --> 00:07:45.725
Yeah.
00:07:46.209 --> 00:07:48.956
Yeah, yeah, so is it.
00:07:48.956 --> 00:07:51.540
Is that team that we saw in the field.
00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:52.702
Pretty much that's it.
00:07:52.702 --> 00:07:54.435
We're not going to see that defense ever.
00:07:56.223 --> 00:07:56.889
Yeah, for them was not.
00:07:57.190 --> 00:07:57.973
Yeah, but this year.
00:07:57.973 --> 00:07:59.492
Yeah, that was a.
00:07:59.492 --> 00:08:00.516
That was a great defense.
00:08:00.516 --> 00:08:07.622
What would you say to recruits out there about Florida State and what?
00:08:07.622 --> 00:08:08.884
What can it do for you?
00:08:10.874 --> 00:08:13.718
It could do a lot for you, but being ready to work, don't come.
00:08:14.521 --> 00:08:14.961
I like it.
00:08:14.961 --> 00:08:30.509
I like it when you were you know you're from Mississippi, right, you, the Mississippi Mauler when you you transferred in, when you were in that portal, what stood out about Florida State?
00:08:35.326 --> 00:08:36.509
Honestly, I had New York.
00:08:36.509 --> 00:08:39.437
I really didn't know too much about Florida State when I came out.
00:08:42.509 --> 00:08:44.696
So you were just attracted to the coach.
00:08:45.778 --> 00:08:48.394
Yeah, and I had already do help in Odell.
00:08:48.394 --> 00:08:53.078
I already put guys on the lead, so right.
00:08:53.509 --> 00:08:54.491
What's it like playing for Odell?
00:08:56.918 --> 00:08:58.361
Oh it's good, you learn a lot.
00:08:58.361 --> 00:08:59.585
It's a great experience.
00:08:59.725 --> 00:09:01.509
Yeah, he's been here forever.
00:09:01.509 --> 00:09:03.177
He's more known than anyone.
00:09:03.177 --> 00:09:10.910
Well, hey, Fabian, If there's when you're, when you're not playing football, what else interests you, Like what?
00:09:10.910 --> 00:09:12.154
What do you like to do for fun?
00:09:14.032 --> 00:09:14.594
Probably play.
00:09:14.934 --> 00:09:15.537
Call of Duty.
00:09:15.537 --> 00:09:17.976
Yeah, man, that's.
00:09:17.976 --> 00:09:19.445
I'm not good at those kind of games.
00:09:19.445 --> 00:09:20.971
I'm still like a sports game, Is it?
00:09:20.971 --> 00:09:22.557
Do you play like any sports games?
00:09:24.591 --> 00:09:25.553
Yeah, I play probably.
00:09:25.553 --> 00:09:35.395
Uh, I probably play uh Madden sometimes also, but more but lately I've done on Call of Duty.
00:09:35.756 --> 00:09:36.119
All right.
00:09:36.119 --> 00:09:38.956
Well, um, I want to add a couple other things.
00:09:38.956 --> 00:09:41.091
All right, what would you say?
00:09:41.091 --> 00:09:44.359
Your favorite sport movie is of all time.
00:09:47.631 --> 00:09:52.042
Uh, that's a good question.
00:09:52.302 --> 00:09:54.177
Yeah, I know I should have gave you some choices to choose.
00:09:54.509 --> 00:09:55.873
I probably have to say uh.
00:09:55.873 --> 00:09:57.918
I probably have to say gridiron, game with the rock.
00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:00.335
Oh man, I need to check that out again.
00:10:00.335 --> 00:10:02.490
I like remember the Titans.
00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:04.214
I'm a little bit older though.
00:10:05.416 --> 00:10:06.519
Yeah, I like that too.
00:10:06.739 --> 00:10:08.162
All right, pancakes or waffles.
00:10:10.017 --> 00:10:11.303
It depends on where it's from, right.
00:10:13.110 --> 00:10:14.333
It's all about the batter right.
00:10:14.333 --> 00:10:16.600
Yeah, there you go, good answer.
00:10:17.509 --> 00:10:22.855
If I'm getting waffles from Waffle House, then yeah, but if I'm getting pancakes from somewhere else, I don't know.
00:10:24.611 --> 00:10:25.552
Well, what was your?
00:10:25.552 --> 00:10:25.994
Um?
00:10:25.994 --> 00:10:27.917
So you are.
00:10:27.917 --> 00:10:30.741
You're not playing in the orange bowl, correct, correct?
00:10:30.741 --> 00:10:32.144
Yeah, I don't blame you.
00:10:32.144 --> 00:10:37.543
You know they took that away from you, but, man, we'll always remember the 13 and 0.
00:10:37.543 --> 00:10:41.073
Um, right, and uh, what was it like?
00:10:41.073 --> 00:10:45.005
Just real quick in that, in that room, you know?
00:10:45.005 --> 00:10:48.496
After you know, the announcement was made.
00:10:50.163 --> 00:10:52.028
It was a lot of silence, Like a lot of guys were hurt.
00:10:52.028 --> 00:10:58.144
It demonstrated a lot of guys like it wasn't nothing you could just easily take because you'd work so hard, see, I mean.
00:10:58.787 --> 00:10:59.008
Yeah.
00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:02.164
You put in all that's worth just for what you took away from me.
00:11:02.164 --> 00:11:02.505
You know.
00:11:02.966 --> 00:11:07.250
Right and you know, man, to be able to it takes time.
00:11:07.250 --> 00:11:09.366
I don't think you'll ever get over that.
00:11:09.366 --> 00:11:23.565
There's fans that are struggling, man, that are upset, that are never really, that are having grips come with it, you know, and but just the sacrifice that I saw from from this team, from just observing, was pretty memorable.
00:11:23.565 --> 00:11:25.225
Man, I've been here my whole life.
00:11:25.225 --> 00:11:43.688
You guys were, you put the, you put team for the definition of it and, and I think to deny you a chance is just especially that defense man, wow, you know, like what did you think this season like when you added a guy like Brandon Fisk?
00:11:43.688 --> 00:11:46.528
Brandon Fisk, you're like yes, sir.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.383
That was a great add.
00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:51.727
Right, you wanted just to be the best team you could be.
00:11:51.727 --> 00:11:59.745
What a special group and I'm glad that you guys were able to come back and do something special that'll be remembered in Florida State forever.
00:11:59.745 --> 00:12:06.504
And before I get to go, you know I see you at the Metro Deli.
00:12:06.504 --> 00:12:10.385
Shout out to Metro Deli If you were going to get what's your favorite thing to eat up there.
00:12:12.322 --> 00:12:13.765
I like roast turkey salad.
00:12:14.047 --> 00:12:15.110
Oh yeah, that's a good one man.
00:12:15.110 --> 00:12:16.386
They got a lot of good specials.
00:12:16.386 --> 00:12:22.969
Man, cheeseburger wrap, pulled pork If you're ever in the area, come by and get you some man Anytime.
00:12:22.969 --> 00:12:24.644
And Fabian man, I really want.
00:12:24.644 --> 00:12:26.028
Thank you again.
00:12:26.028 --> 00:12:26.489
Good luck.
00:12:26.489 --> 00:12:29.989
Are you going to be playing in the senior bowl or anything like that, or do you know?
00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:32.965
I got the hula bowl invite right.
00:12:32.985 --> 00:12:35.250
Hula oh my goodness, that'll be awesome.
00:12:35.250 --> 00:12:36.160
Man We'll keep.
00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:37.902
We'll be watching man We'll.
00:12:37.902 --> 00:12:39.106
We'll be watching your career.
00:12:39.106 --> 00:12:40.484
You got big things.
00:12:40.484 --> 00:12:44.083
I appreciate you coming on and hopefully we'll talk to you in the future.
00:12:44.124 --> 00:12:46.330
all right, yes, sir, see you later Thanks.
00:12:48.226 --> 00:12:48.490
This is.
00:00:01.429 --> 00:00:02.979
the North Florida sports.
00:00:02.979 --> 00:00:04.993
Welcome back.
00:00:04.993 --> 00:00:07.974
This is North Florida Sports Network.
00:00:07.974 --> 00:00:18.173
I have a pleasure to be joined by defensive tackle Number zero Gosh, what a baller man.
00:00:18.173 --> 00:00:21.879
Number zero came back 13 and 0.
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:22.400
Fabian Love.
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.870
It joins the North Florida Sports Network.
00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:30.728
What's the number one thing that's going on, fabian?
00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:32.948
What's going on, my man?
00:00:36.274 --> 00:00:36.960
How's it going, man?
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.310
How are you doing ever since December 3rd?
00:00:43.084 --> 00:00:49.945
I've been good Getting ready to prepare for the next steps of life, get ready for the next challenge.
00:00:52.084 --> 00:00:54.265
I'll tell you what you got a.
00:00:54.265 --> 00:01:01.725
It's tough, you know, because, like I would say, you look back at this team or that team and nobody, because it's never happened before.
00:01:01.725 --> 00:01:04.766
Can you take me there?
00:01:04.766 --> 00:01:09.224
Let me start back a year ago, because you know I was.
00:01:09.224 --> 00:01:13.498
You could have gone and played in the NFL last year.
00:01:13.498 --> 00:01:17.028
What made you want to come back this season?
00:01:18.566 --> 00:01:29.707
Because this is going to be the last chance to team like this together and for me to be a part of it, and then they would do some special and for us to be able to be remembered for a long time well, forever.
00:01:29.707 --> 00:01:30.771
Now, you know.
00:01:31.906 --> 00:01:32.893
Yeah, that actually.
00:01:32.893 --> 00:01:38.819
Yeah, I don't think anybody will ever forget this team and what was so great to watch.
00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:41.713
You know you've been here since.
00:01:41.713 --> 00:01:44.980
You know it was not that it wasn't like it was now.
00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:52.000
Can you describe, you know, the process that that's been when, once Mike came in?
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.548
Can you kind of take me through that, through your perspective?
00:01:56.447 --> 00:02:01.950
Honestly, it was a crazy process, but it was like tough but like at the same time it made us who we are and made us.
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:05.000
It made us able to be able to do what we did this year and dominate.
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:11.000
It took us four years to be able to get this 13, and no record Like this didn't just happen overnight.
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:17.086
It started from when he first got here, and what a lot of people don't know is the same stuff we was doing back then.
00:02:17.086 --> 00:02:19.000
We was losing, is the same stuff we're doing now.
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000
It just took time for it to all fall in play.
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:26.763
Man, that's, that's exactly what I thought man it looks like.
00:02:26.763 --> 00:02:29.473
You know, mike is a man of.
00:02:29.473 --> 00:02:33.870
He practices what he preaches, does he have, what does he do for fun?
00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:35.243
Do you know I?
00:02:36.067 --> 00:02:36.930
don't really know.
00:02:37.364 --> 00:02:38.979
Sprints around, man runs up hills.
00:02:40.002 --> 00:02:41.848
Yeah, a lot of working out.
00:02:41.848 --> 00:02:42.308
I know that.
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:43.420
Right?
00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:47.711
Well, man, he, he did a great job and you guys worked your butts off.
00:02:47.711 --> 00:02:50.026
And I will say, man, I don't think any.
00:02:50.026 --> 00:03:01.347
I think FSU, every FSU fan out there, is probably just hurt because they saw how much work, how much was invested over the four years.
00:03:01.347 --> 00:03:02.610
You know like to.
00:03:02.610 --> 00:03:07.991
Just what would you say to it to come down into a board room?
00:03:07.991 --> 00:03:13.223
What would you say to those people in that room If you were there, like right after they announced it?
00:03:15.688 --> 00:03:19.015
Honestly, I wouldn't say nothing because at the end of the day, I can't control that.
00:03:19.015 --> 00:03:21.070
I don't have no say so over that.
00:03:21.070 --> 00:03:22.590
At the end of the day, we did our best.
00:03:22.590 --> 00:03:24.456
We did what we could do.
00:03:24.456 --> 00:03:26.705
Like it hurts, don't get me wrong.
00:03:26.705 --> 00:03:31.974
It hurts, but like it ain't really nothing I can do about that.
00:03:31.974 --> 00:03:32.736
That's how they feel.
00:03:32.997 --> 00:03:35.188
That's true, man.
00:03:35.188 --> 00:03:36.473
That's such a good lesson.
00:03:36.473 --> 00:03:42.177
And I tell you what this team's never going to be forgot when it comes down to Seminoles.
00:03:42.177 --> 00:03:45.715
There's no, there's no fan that's never going to forget.
00:03:45.715 --> 00:03:46.889
You don't have to worry about that.
00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:53.206
But talk about the brotherhood that you gained here at Florida State, the memories that you'll never.
00:03:53.206 --> 00:03:55.794
That will always be remembered.
00:03:55.794 --> 00:04:01.137
I mean, there's a lot of teams that won championships that were remembered.
00:04:01.137 --> 00:04:09.775
This team is going to remember for not getting that opportunity to play for it, but what is something that would you want people to remember about this team?
00:04:11.468 --> 00:04:12.772
It was all in it to win it, man.
00:04:12.772 --> 00:04:16.593
It was all in it together, Like it was all in it together.
00:04:17.105 --> 00:04:21.487
Yep, you could tell I would take me.
00:04:21.487 --> 00:04:25.857
Can you take me to that defensive mindset after the injury to Jordan Travis?
00:04:25.857 --> 00:04:27.668
What, what?
00:04:27.668 --> 00:04:29.091
Because I'll tell you what man.
00:04:29.091 --> 00:04:33.403
You guys took it up another level, yeah.
00:04:35.127 --> 00:04:45.196
But like it just made us like I want to say it made us lock in more, but it does like be more stiff on doing our jobs, Yep.
00:04:46.024 --> 00:04:46.326
You know.
00:04:46.326 --> 00:04:49.252
Yes, sir, that's exactly what coach K was talking about.
00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:51.935
He had, he was, he spoke on it and he was.
00:04:51.935 --> 00:04:54.947
He said the decision was wrong, because what does he know, though?
00:04:54.947 --> 00:05:11.216
You know right, but he was talking about how a team can define itself in many ways and sometimes, when you lose a part of it, it, the brotherhood can shine through, and I thought you guys did exactly that, and he showed it each week.
00:05:11.216 --> 00:05:21.529
He showed it against Florida with a backup, and then more, more stuff came your way, and all you did was just show how to win, and what a great example that is.
00:05:21.529 --> 00:05:23.875
To just remember the good things of it.
00:05:23.875 --> 00:05:36.862
If you had to go back, I'll ask you this if I, if you had to go back to last year and I told you you guys are going to go 13 and 0 and they're not going to give you a chance to win the playoff, what would you have done?
00:05:37.386 --> 00:05:44.252
I think I would have still came back because, at the end of the day, I never get the malicious impact and the bars back that I built with my brothers.
00:05:44.252 --> 00:05:47.125
Like it's different, like it's different, like.
00:05:47.125 --> 00:05:54.675
I think I would have still came because, at the end of the day, the bars with my brothers, man and playing on the field is not like it's not like it.
00:05:54.675 --> 00:05:57.091
So I think I would have still came, just just because of that.
00:05:57.572 --> 00:05:57.673
Man.
00:05:58.384 --> 00:05:58.745
People don't like.
00:05:58.745 --> 00:05:59.226
It's never.
00:05:59.226 --> 00:06:02.394
Never about doing.
00:06:02.394 --> 00:06:07.194
I ain't going to say it's never about like what all other people think it is.
00:06:07.425 --> 00:06:07.947
Like it's more.
00:06:08.649 --> 00:06:10.293
For us, it's more of the brotherhood.
00:06:11.504 --> 00:06:12.608
Have you ever seen that movie?
00:06:12.608 --> 00:06:13.411
Along came Pauly.
00:06:14.928 --> 00:06:15.610
I don't think so.
00:06:15.651 --> 00:06:15.932
All right?
00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:21.346
Well, if you do, there's a part at the end where the guy's dad comes over and never says anything, the whole movie.
00:06:21.346 --> 00:06:25.728
But he talks to his like it's about the ride you know and the journey you take.
00:06:25.728 --> 00:06:28.026
That's what life's about and that's so.
00:06:28.026 --> 00:06:29.168
That's what you kind of saying, right?
00:06:29.911 --> 00:06:31.213
Yeah, yeah, basically.
00:06:31.735 --> 00:06:32.697
And you'll have that forever.
00:06:32.697 --> 00:06:32.976
Man.
00:06:32.976 --> 00:06:40.069
You know I've been hearing some talking heads around saying you know that they're devastated for you guys and everyone's sad.
00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:47.074
You know, and it's just like well, you know that you'll always have this memory to come back, 25 years from now.
00:06:47.074 --> 00:06:50.786
Like you guys aren't going to talk about getting snubbed, it's going to be.
00:06:50.786 --> 00:06:51.968
Do you remember that?
00:06:51.968 --> 00:06:53.973
That the memories you created, right?
00:06:55.357 --> 00:06:55.538
Yeah.
00:06:55.846 --> 00:06:57.351
And you created some fond ones.
00:06:57.351 --> 00:07:00.833
There are fans out there going to remember the times.
00:07:00.833 --> 00:07:04.793
You know, I don't like, I don't want to explain to my son like it was funny.
00:07:04.793 --> 00:07:12.831
I was watching the unveiling you know with and he's like some of my my mom was like I mean his mom, my wife, was like hey, what's?
00:07:12.831 --> 00:07:19.711
He was asking what was I doing and he's like watching football and he's like this doesn't look like football and it wasn't what they did.
00:07:19.711 --> 00:07:24.391
What they did hurt the sport man and you guys did everything you could.
00:07:24.391 --> 00:07:33.249
I think we should throw a parade for you, because you're never going to see this team again and they took that apart.
00:07:33.249 --> 00:07:34.427
We'll never know now.
00:07:35.290 --> 00:07:39.815
Yeah, because why the hell would you play in a game?
00:07:39.815 --> 00:07:41.187
No offense to the Orange Bowl.
00:07:41.187 --> 00:07:42.427
Why would you play down there?
00:07:45.403 --> 00:07:45.725
Yeah.
00:07:46.209 --> 00:07:48.956
Yeah, yeah, so is it.
00:07:48.956 --> 00:07:51.540
Is that team that we saw in the field.
00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:52.702
Pretty much that's it.
00:07:52.702 --> 00:07:54.435
We're not going to see that defense ever.
00:07:56.223 --> 00:07:56.889
Yeah, for them was not.
00:07:57.190 --> 00:07:57.973
Yeah, but this year.
00:07:57.973 --> 00:07:59.492
Yeah, that was a.
00:07:59.492 --> 00:08:00.516
That was a great defense.
00:08:00.516 --> 00:08:07.622
What would you say to recruits out there about Florida State and what?
00:08:07.622 --> 00:08:08.884
What can it do for you?
00:08:10.874 --> 00:08:13.718
It could do a lot for you, but being ready to work, don't come.
00:08:14.521 --> 00:08:14.961
I like it.
00:08:14.961 --> 00:08:30.509
I like it when you were you know you're from Mississippi, right, you, the Mississippi Mauler when you you transferred in, when you were in that portal, what stood out about Florida State?
00:08:35.326 --> 00:08:36.509
Honestly, I had New York.
00:08:36.509 --> 00:08:39.437
I really didn't know too much about Florida State when I came out.
00:08:42.509 --> 00:08:44.696
So you were just attracted to the coach.
00:08:45.778 --> 00:08:48.394
Yeah, and I had already do help in Odell.
00:08:48.394 --> 00:08:53.078
I already put guys on the lead, so right.
00:08:53.509 --> 00:08:54.491
What's it like playing for Odell?
00:08:56.918 --> 00:08:58.361
Oh it's good, you learn a lot.
00:08:58.361 --> 00:08:59.585
It's a great experience.
00:08:59.725 --> 00:09:01.509
Yeah, he's been here forever.
00:09:01.509 --> 00:09:03.177
He's more known than anyone.
00:09:03.177 --> 00:09:10.910
Well, hey, Fabian, If there's when you're, when you're not playing football, what else interests you, Like what?
00:09:10.910 --> 00:09:12.154
What do you like to do for fun?
00:09:14.032 --> 00:09:14.594
Probably play.
00:09:14.934 --> 00:09:15.537
Call of Duty.
00:09:15.537 --> 00:09:17.976
Yeah, man, that's.
00:09:17.976 --> 00:09:19.445
I'm not good at those kind of games.
00:09:19.445 --> 00:09:20.971
I'm still like a sports game, Is it?
00:09:20.971 --> 00:09:22.557
Do you play like any sports games?
00:09:24.591 --> 00:09:25.553
Yeah, I play probably.
00:09:25.553 --> 00:09:35.395
Uh, I probably play uh Madden sometimes also, but more but lately I've done on Call of Duty.
00:09:35.756 --> 00:09:36.119
All right.
00:09:36.119 --> 00:09:38.956
Well, um, I want to add a couple other things.
00:09:38.956 --> 00:09:41.091
All right, what would you say?
00:09:41.091 --> 00:09:44.359
Your favorite sport movie is of all time.
00:09:47.631 --> 00:09:52.042
Uh, that's a good question.
00:09:52.302 --> 00:09:54.177
Yeah, I know I should have gave you some choices to choose.
00:09:54.509 --> 00:09:55.873
I probably have to say uh.
00:09:55.873 --> 00:09:57.918
I probably have to say gridiron, game with the rock.
00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:00.335
Oh man, I need to check that out again.
00:10:00.335 --> 00:10:02.490
I like remember the Titans.
00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:04.214
I'm a little bit older though.
00:10:05.416 --> 00:10:06.519
Yeah, I like that too.
00:10:06.739 --> 00:10:08.162
All right, pancakes or waffles.
00:10:10.017 --> 00:10:11.303
It depends on where it's from, right.
00:10:13.110 --> 00:10:14.333
It's all about the batter right.
00:10:14.333 --> 00:10:16.600
Yeah, there you go, good answer.
00:10:17.509 --> 00:10:22.855
If I'm getting waffles from Waffle House, then yeah, but if I'm getting pancakes from somewhere else, I don't know.
00:10:24.611 --> 00:10:25.552
Well, what was your?
00:10:25.552 --> 00:10:25.994
Um?
00:10:25.994 --> 00:10:27.917
So you are.
00:10:27.917 --> 00:10:30.741
You're not playing in the orange bowl, correct, correct?
00:10:30.741 --> 00:10:32.144
Yeah, I don't blame you.
00:10:32.144 --> 00:10:37.543
You know they took that away from you, but, man, we'll always remember the 13 and 0.
00:10:37.543 --> 00:10:41.073
Um, right, and uh, what was it like?
00:10:41.073 --> 00:10:45.005
Just real quick in that, in that room, you know?
00:10:45.005 --> 00:10:48.496
After you know, the announcement was made.
00:10:50.163 --> 00:10:52.028
It was a lot of silence, Like a lot of guys were hurt.
00:10:52.028 --> 00:10:58.144
It demonstrated a lot of guys like it wasn't nothing you could just easily take because you'd work so hard, see, I mean.
00:10:58.787 --> 00:10:59.008
Yeah.
00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:02.164
You put in all that's worth just for what you took away from me.
00:11:02.164 --> 00:11:02.505
You know.
00:11:02.966 --> 00:11:07.250
Right and you know, man, to be able to it takes time.
00:11:07.250 --> 00:11:09.366
I don't think you'll ever get over that.
00:11:09.366 --> 00:11:23.565
There's fans that are struggling, man, that are upset, that are never really, that are having grips come with it, you know, and but just the sacrifice that I saw from from this team, from just observing, was pretty memorable.
00:11:23.565 --> 00:11:25.225
Man, I've been here my whole life.
00:11:25.225 --> 00:11:43.688
You guys were, you put the, you put team for the definition of it and, and I think to deny you a chance is just especially that defense man, wow, you know, like what did you think this season like when you added a guy like Brandon Fisk?
00:11:43.688 --> 00:11:46.528
Brandon Fisk, you're like yes, sir.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.383
That was a great add.
00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:51.727
Right, you wanted just to be the best team you could be.
00:11:51.727 --> 00:11:59.745
What a special group and I'm glad that you guys were able to come back and do something special that'll be remembered in Florida State forever.
00:11:59.745 --> 00:12:06.504
And before I get to go, you know I see you at the Metro Deli.
00:12:06.504 --> 00:12:10.385
Shout out to Metro Deli If you were going to get what's your favorite thing to eat up there.
00:12:12.322 --> 00:12:13.765
I like roast turkey salad.
00:12:14.047 --> 00:12:15.110
Oh yeah, that's a good one man.
00:12:15.110 --> 00:12:16.386
They got a lot of good specials.
00:12:16.386 --> 00:12:22.969

00:12:22.969 --> 00:12:24.644

00:12:26.489 --> 00:12:29.989
Are you going to be playing in the senior bowl or anything like that, or do you know?
00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:32.965

00:12:32.985 --> 00:12:35.250
