On The Bench: An FSU football podcast network

On this episode of On The Bench, we get a chance to have some fun in breaking down Florida State’s addition of offensive lineman Roderick Kearney.

What Kearney’s commitment means for the Seminoles, the improvements of the line under Alex Atkins, intel from the weekend of official visits, and more.

FSU's passing game hasn't worked out well in two years under Mike Norvell, a bit of a surprise given the offenses he produced at Memphis.

Why haven't things taken off in two seasons at FSU and is this the season the 'Noles get back on track through the air? The fellas at X's and Noles break down the passing game in-depth in this episode.

But first, a quick preview of the Official Visit weekend at FSU and what the addition of Jazston Turnetine means for the OL.

Jeff Culhane goes back to an interview with Gene Deckerhoff that he conducted 10 years ago at a radio station in Nebraska. Deckerhoff’s stories about Florida State coach Bobby Bowden still stick with Culhane, reminding him that the FSU platform provides the chance to impact people at a rare level.

“I always knew that I wanted the opportunity to be a play-by-play announcer at a place where it mattered, where people cared, and the games and the stories, and the players and the coaches, where it was all instilled and injected into your DNA,” Culhane told Noles247’s On The Bench. “There aren’t many places where you can say that. Florida State is one of those.”

Culhane sits down with OTB to recall that conversation with Deckerhoff, what it’ll be like following a broadcasting legend, his process of landing the FSU job, his broadcasting style, and more.

Florida State enters an important stretch of June with recruiting as the 2022 roster is nearly complete, one official visit wrapped up, and a few more are on the docket.

Florida State fended off Arkansas and Virginia Tech to land a late addition to the 2022 class in DT Ayobami Tifase.

On The Bench breaks out an emergency pod to go over the big-time get. Chris Nee describes Tifase as a monstrous prospect in the trenches, Zach Blostein recaps the whirlwind of a recruitment, and Brendan Sonnone shamelessly stumps for a walk-on to be added to the 2022 class retroactively.

Plus we get into some additional trench notes in this episode.

Florida State had an eventful weekend on the recruiting trail, hosting six official visitors while also getting a pair of under-the-radar commitments.

On The Bench recaps the weekend and provides the latest intel, with Dane Draper making his OTB debut. Plus, an update on iOL recruit Antavious Woody.

Mike Martin Jr. is out as Florida State's baseball coach after an underwhelming and brief era as the program's head coach. The long-time assistant and son of legendary FSU coach Mike Martin Sr. was fired on Friday after three seasons guiding the program.

Brett Nevitt and Ariya Massoudi from Sunday Golds are back on On The Bench to deliver an instant reaction to the news.

Florida State’s baseball season ended this weekend in embarrassing fashion, with the Seminoles dropping two games in a row – with a 21-7 loss to Auburn and then a one-run effort against UCLA – to finish the year in the Regional Round of the College World Series.

It was a fitting end for an underwhelming campaign. To recap what went wrong in Auburn, and during the season, On The Bench is getting some help from our very own Brett Nevitt as well as friend Ariya Massoudi. The Sunday Golds duo were kind enough to share their season-recap episode in the OTB podcast feed for our listeners.
