Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Norvell

Lonte Smith and Dave Essler talk betting for CFB Week 5 Lonte Smith and Uncle Dave Essler return for the Week 5 edition of RJ Bell's Dream Preview, College Football Edition, determined to bounce back from the first 0 and 2 week of the season while keeping the overall best bet record in the black, with Lonte at 2 and 2 and Dave at 3 and 1. At 1:58 the show opens with number 7 Alabama visiting Mississippi State at Davis Wade Stadium, where the Tide opened 6.5 point favorites before the line dipped to 5.5 or 6 and the total climbed to 60.5. Dave warns against recency bias after Alabama scored 50 on Florida State, pointing out that the Seminoles also scored 36 and piled up nearly 500 yards on that defense, and with Georgia coming to Tuscaloosa next week he takes the Mississippi State team total over. Lonte backs the Bulldogs in the first half, citing their first 4 and 0 start since 2014, a defense allowing 3.2 yards per carry, three straight 100 yard games from Fluff Bothwell and the blitz chess match between Kane Wommack and Kamario Taylor. At 6:53 the hosts turn to Virginia at Florida State, and both like the home underdog, with Lonte projecting a 23 to 20 grinder fueled by Ashton Daniels running the football and Dave calling it a potential career defining game for Mike Norvell ahead of trips to Louisville and Miami. At 10:14 Alex Golesh returns to Neyland Stadium as the Auburn head coach to face Josh Heupel, and Dave takes the Tennessee team total over after the Vols managed only 2.9 yards per play against Texas, while Lonte breaks down the North Carolina quarterback duel between Byrum Brown and Faizon Brandon and notes Auburn ranks among the worst coverage teams in the Power 4. At 15:06 Baylor at Arizona State gets labeled a volatile game, sharp money has pushed the line toward the Bears and the total down from 51 to 49.5, and both hosts land on the under while Dave admits he cannot get behind DJ Lagway. At 19:59 number 8 Florida visits Missouri laying 4.5, Dave calls the Tigers a paper tiger after they allowed almost 500 yards to Mississippi State and goes back to the Florida team total over after cashing it last week, and Lonte highlights Jadan Baugh and more than 600 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns before leaning to the over. At 25:20 Dave delivers his best bet, Wake Forest minus 12.5 over a Stanford team traveling east for the second time in three weeks, and at 27:34 Lonte answers with UConn plus 6.5 against Syracuse, pointing to the strong underdog record of Jason Candle, a power rating closer to 4 and deep familiarity between the two coaching staffs. The episode closes with a rapid fire round at 29:52 covering Notre Dame at North Carolina, Minnesota and Michigan, Ohio State at Iowa, Pitt and Virginia Tech, Louisville at NC State and Miami against Clemson, with team total unders, a Louisville and NC State over and a blunt verdict on whether Clemson can keep it close.

Welcome back to Bruce & The Bear! Chris "The Bear" Fallica, Bruce Feldman, and Sammy Panayotovich gear up for an action-packed slate of college football, starting on the West Coast with a heavyweight matchup between Oregon and USC. The guys analyze whether USC can expose the Ducks' offensive line issues and disrupt their tempo upfront.Moving into SEC country, the crew previews the high-stakes battle between Texas and Tennessee, where the guys debate whether Texas has shown signs of weakness in the trenches and breakdown Tennessee's dynamic freshman quarterback, Faizon Brandon. Over in Gainesville, Ole Miss takes on Florida, where the crew highlights Gators tailback Jadan Baugh—who might just be the best running back in the country—and shines a spotlight on Florida edge rusher Jayden Woods, whose raw power and athleticism earned him the #5 spot on Bruce's famous "Freaks List".The SEC drama continues with Texas A&M visiting LSU. The guys check the temperature in Baton Rouge, dissecting LSU's team morale after a tough loss and asking the ultimate panic-button question: what happens to Lane Kiffin and the Tigers if they drop to 0-2? Meanwhile, in Missouri vs. Mississippi State, Bruce and Bear spotlight Bulldogs quarterback Kamario Taylor, who has emerged as one of the standout breakout stars of the season's first month.Before jumping to Vegas, Bruce breaks down the brewing storm in Tallahassee regarding Florida State. They discuss the current state of the FSU program, Mike Norvell's long-term future on the hot seat, plus address Jimbo Fisher's potential return to the Seminoles.Then, Sammy P takes over "The Walkthrough" to bring you the sharpest betting perspectives on the board. Sammy shares critical backfield and secondary updates for Miami, explains why the public is wrong on Ole Miss, and breaks down the classic "Kentucky Letdown" spot. Finally, the show wraps up with "The Two-Minute Drill," where Bear and Sammy explain why the low-profile matchup between Boise State and Western Michigan deserves way more attention from bettors and fans alike.CHAPTERS:00:00: Intro00:50: Oregon vs. USC: Can Patterson Exploit the Ducks' Blocking?05:50: Texas vs. Tennessee: Testing Faizon Brandon09:15: Ole Miss vs. Florida: Jadan Baugh & Jayden Woods13:10: Texas A&M vs. LSU: Baton Rouge Morale & The Danger of an 0-2 Start15:47: Missouri vs. Mississippi State: Kamario Taylor's Breakout Month18:20: Florida State Chaos: Mike Norvell's Future & The Jimbo Fisher Rumors23:48: Miami Injury Updates25:37: Public is wrong about Ole Miss27:30: Kentucky Letdown28:22 "Two-Minute Drill": Why You Need to Watch Boise State vs. Western Michigan32:28: Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

On this epsiode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to Ole Miss handing Lane Kiffin the ultimate piece of humble pie in his return to Oxford and explains why Pete Golding's win over LSU proved the Rebels are bigger than the coach who helped build them. JT also breaks down Kentucky's stunning road win over Texas A&M and why Will Stein, Kenny Minchey, and the Wildcats may be ascending faster than anyone expected. Has Florida already separated itself from the SEC middle class under Jon Sumrall after beating Auburn, and could Jadan Baugh, Aaron Philo, Dallas Wilson, and Vernell Brown make the Gators a legitimate spoiler in the playoff race? JT reacts to Alabama's comeback against Florida State and explains why Keelon Russell and the Crimson Tide have an avalanche gear that can bury opponents once momentum flips. What went wrong with Mike Norvell's transfer portal strategy at Florida State, and has poor roster construction become the biggest reason the Seminoles are stuck? JT also reacts to Colorado getting embarrassed by Northwestern and what the loss means for Deion Sanders, JuJu Lewis, and the direction of the Buffaloes. Plus, Miami finally showed some vulnerability against Wake Forest after looking untouchable early — did the Hurricanes expose cracks that Clemson, Florida State, and future opponents can attack? All that plus SEC reactions, CFP implications, coaching pressure, quarterback questions, and the biggest takeaways from College Football Week 3.

Coach, Dennis Dodd, and Tony Barnhart kick off the segment discussing early-season quarterback shakeups and high-profile performances. Dodd highlights Texas Tech’s rocky start with transfer quarterback Tommy Castellanos throwing an interception on the very first play, questioning how that decision impacts starter Will Hammond. The crew then analyzes the previous weekend’s marquee matchups, including Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning proving themselves in Texas’s big win, impressive showings from Michigan and Tennessee, and the Big Ten’s rough 3–6 start against fellow Power Four conferences. The conversation pivots to major off-field turbulence at Florida State following the firing of athletic director Michael Alford. Dodd outlines the massive financial hole facing the Seminoles—from stadium renovations to a potential $100 million bill if they replace head coach Mike Norvell—while arguing FSU holds far less conference realignment value than schools like North Carolina. The panel wraps up with an early preview of the upcoming LSU–Ole Miss showdown, debating how Ole Miss's emotional play-calling and home-field advantage will hold up against LSU’s high-scoring offense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danny Kanell joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging college football conversation covering Florida State's mounting pressure on Mike Norvell, Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell, the latest LSU injury-report drama, Oklahoma QB John Mateer, Mississippi State breakout Kamario Taylor, Oregon's veteran roster and much more. The conversation begins with Kanell's former program, Florida State, where frustration has reached a boiling point. The Seminoles are coming off a 27-24 home loss to SMU, and fans were heard booing head coach Mike Norvell and chanting for his firing. Florida State then made a major administrative change by parting ways with athletic director Michael Alford ahead of FSU's trip to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama. Kanell explains why he believes the atmosphere around the Seminoles has become toxic and what Norvell may need to accomplish to change the direction of the program. The discussion then turns to Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell after the Crimson Tide's 45-17 road win over Kentucky. Russell threw two interceptions but responded to adversity and helped Alabama dominate the second half. Kanell explains why a young quarterback's response to mistakes can reveal more than his performance in an easy blowout, while also evaluating whether Alabama has truly fixed its running-game issues. Kanell also reacts to LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt being listed as doubtful ahead of LSU's Top-10 showdown at Ole Miss. Does Kanell actually believe Leavitt will miss the game, or is LSU head coach Lane Kiffin playing games with the SEC availability report? Plus, Kanell breaks down Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer after the Sooners' 17-10 loss at Michigan and explains why Mateer's offseason work to change his throwing motion concerns him. We also discuss one of college football's fastest-rising young quarterbacks: Mississippi State's Kamario Taylor. Taylor threw for 227 yards and three touchdowns while adding 86 rushing yards in Mississippi State's 38-13 win at Minnesota, but Kanell explains why the true test comes when a young quarterback faces SEC pressure on the road. Finally, the conversation shifts to Oregon and Dan Lanning following the Ducks' stunning 39-31 loss at Oklahoma State. Kanell discusses how NIL, veteran rosters and players delaying the NFL Draft can create a more professional mindset inside college locker rooms—and why keeping highly compensated players emotionally invested after adversity could become one of the biggest challenges in modern college football. Danny Kanell can be heard on The Early Read with Roy Philpott on SiriusXM College Sports Radio and regularly appears on CBS Sports HQ.

JT also predicts Florida vs Auburn in a matchup between first-year head coaches Jon Sumrall and Alex Golesh, and explains why Vernell Brown III could be the game-changing weapon for the Gators.

The NFL is fully back, which means the boys are already questioning stadium rankings, officiating, coaching, fantasy decisions, and why they allow football to control their emotional health. Week one brings Jags optimism, Dolphins growing pains, another painful Packers finish, roughing-the-passer rage, and the realization that some of these games are apparently bad enough to watch twice. Then Florida State enters the therapy session with an athletic department shakeup, Mike Norvell getting booed in his own stadium, NIL questions, Alabama looming, and the crew trying to figure out just how bad things have to get before something really changes. Meanwhile, Kevin's daughter offers the healthiest sports take of the entire episode: "It's just football."

Chuck starts today Dan Lanning's comments on a lack of leadership at Oregon, and blowout games from week 2. We then talk Florida State and their AD situation with Ira Schoffel from Warchant.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
