ESPN and Marquee Sports Network reporter Taylor McGregor has had a very eventful few days.
On Monday night, McGregor earned rave reviews for her reporting on ESPN during a power outage that delayed a Florida State-SMU college football game at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.
And on Wednesday, McGregor was yelled at by a security guard during a live radio hit on Chicago's 104.3 The Score.
McGregor, a Chicago Cubs sideline reporter for Marquee, was on 104.3 The Score to talk about the Cubs ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee. As McGregor shared her thoughts on the Cubs with Spiegel & Holmes hosts Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes, a security guard interrupted her and told her to move the car she was parked in.
"He's yelling at me. Sorry, I'm getting yelled at for sitting on the side of the street," McGregor explained to Spiegel and Holmes.

Mike Norvell's tenure as Florida State football's head coach has been nothing short of a roller coaster.
The Seminoles have gone 39-35 in seven seasons under Norvell and are currently in a multi-season stretch in which the program is 8-18. That run includes a 2-10 season in 2024 and a 5-7 season in 2025. A far cry from the heights of 2023 when FSU went 13-0 in the regular season and won the ACC ****** le before being snubbed from the College Football Playoff.
It's altered the trajectory of Norvell's career, who was once considered to replace Nick Saban at Alabama following his retirement and was widley considered one of the sports best young coaches. The now 44-year-old sits on arguably the hottest seat in the country and is fresh off a 27-24 loss to No. 19 SMU, where he and his team were routinely greeted with boo's from fans at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Sitting at 1-1, FSU faces a stretch of games that will see the program visit the Crimson Tide before games against Virginia, Louisville and Miami in October.
The road doesn't get easier for Norvell, so if the Seminoles elect to part ways with the embattled head coach, here's what it'll cost.

Florida A&M football faces a tall task when it faces the Miami Hurricanes this Thursday, Sept. 10.
Kickoff is at 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on the ACC Network.
The Rattlers enter the Week 2 money game with a 1-1 record, losing to the defending Black College National Champions, South Carolina State, 31-13 in the Orange Blossom Classic last Sunday, Sept. 6, at Hard Rock Stadium. FAMU was dominated at the line of scrimmage and allowed 292 rushing yards.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes, the College Football Playoffs defending runners-up, are 1-0 after dominating Stanford 45-6 last Friday, Sept. 4. Sophomore wide receiver Malachi Toney had a program record-setting day with 234 receiving yards, adding 12 catches and three touchdowns.
FAMU is a member of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, and is 1-35 against Football Bowl Subdivision teams. The Rattlers' lone FBS win came against Miami in 1979, 16-13, at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.

You've got to hand it to Miami: The Hurricanes' social media team nailed this post on X (formerly Twitter) after Florida State dealt with a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium on Monday night that delayed the Seminoles' contest against SMU.
The game eventually started at 9:15 p.m. ET with some limits that included no PA announcer and no use of the scoreboard.
Miami's admins decided to have some fun with it with a simple tweet: "The lights are ON at our house," they wrote. "See YOU at Hard Rock [Stadium] on Thursday."
Boom, roasted. Here's the post Miami put up:
Some people did point out that Hard Rock technically isn't only their house with the NFL's Miami Dolphins playing there, but that's beside the point. This is some good ol' fashioned social media trolling and we're here for it.

The FSU Seminoles fell to the SMU Mustangs 27-24 on Monday in Doak Campbell Stadium, and their fans are fed up with the team and Mike Norvell. It was a winnable game for Florida State, but they once again found ways to lose.
Since their 13-1 season in 2023, when they won the ACC and nearly made the College Football Playoff, FSU has gone 8-18 overall and 3-17 in conference play under Norvell. That has caused numerous fans to call for his job, but that is not an easy move.
While their performance over the past two-plus seasons has been well below FSU's standards, it will be expensive to move on from Norvell. According to Craig Myers of USA TODAY Sports, his buyout is $46.7 million if he is fired before Dec. 1, 2026.
If FSU does decide to fire Norvell, his buyout would be the third-biggest in college football history, behind only the $76.8 million the Texas A&M Aggies paid Jimbo Fisher and the $54 million the LSU Tigers paid Brian Kelly. The Seminoles paid Willie Taggart $18 million when they fired him during the 2029 season.
FSU signed Mike Norvell to an eight-year contract worth around $84 million ahead of the 2024 season and guaranteed him that his buyout would be 85% of his remaining salary if he was fired. The deal seemed like a smart move at the time. Not only were they coming off their 13-1 performance in 2023, but the Alabama Crimson Tide were considering hiring him to replace Nick Saban.

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell and quarterback Ashton Daniels met with local media after Monday night's 27-24 loss to No. 19 SMU at Doak Campbell Stadium.
"Tonight, coming off of it, just another close game, a lot of one plays," Norvell said. "You think back through it, some of the explosive plays that we gave up defensively, some of missed opportunities there offensively. Never really got in rhythm throwing the ball, but had some good runs."
"Ashton as a runner did some good things," Norvell said. "We also got to go and be able to make plays in the passing game when opportunities present themselves. Didn't do a great job in protecting with that. There's some inconsistencies there that we got to clean up. It didn't all come together in the passing game and ultimately that's on us. We've got to get that corrected….It's a shame to come up a field goal short."
Florida State finished 2-of-15 on third down. SMU had four turnovers. The Seminoles were outgained 585-324.
"We were able to create takeaways. It's something that we knew going into the game was going to be a big factor," Norvell said. "Unfortunately, we only had seven points off takeaways, which when you get four turnovers, you need to be able to put points on the board in those situations. We did not do a good enough job of putting points on the board after turnovers."

Florida State spent much of Monday night chasing the game, but after battling back to tie SMU in the fourth quarter, the Seminoles could not find one final stop or scoring drive.
In a game delayed by a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium and stretched deep into the night, FSU showed more resilience than it did in its season opener. However, the same issues that have plagued the Seminoles through two games, inconsistent quarterback play, offensive line struggles and third-down defensive lapses, resurfaced in a 27-24 loss to SMU.
The Seminoles dropped to 1-1 on the season despite erasing multiple deficits and tying the game at 24 before the Mustangs answered with the decisive touchdown drive.
Here are the grades from Florida State's loss to SMU.
Daniels spent much of the night under constant pressure and rarely looked comfortable in the pocket. While there were flashes of playmaking ability, including a quarterback keeper for a touchdown and several throws into tight coverage, consistency remained an issue.

SMU did everything it could to give Florida State a chance to win Monday night. Instead, the Mustangs got out of Tallahassee with a 27-24 win after a 20-yard field goal from Nick Reed with 21 seconds to go.
Once the game finally started after a 100-minute delay because of a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium, it was clear that SMU was the better team.
Yet the Mustangs were also the team that kept making more mistakes. SMU turned the ball over four times, missed a field goal and committed a penalty on an FSU field goal attempt that led to a game-tying touchdown in the third quarter. It was an incredibly sloppy effort from SMU, yet Florida State could not capitalize.
The Mustangs' fourth turnover came with 6:33 to go and the game tied at 24-24. Safety Ashlynd Barker read QB Kevin Jennings' eyes for an interception and gave Florida State a chance to take its first lead of the night.
Instead, the Seminoles' offense lost seven yards on three plays after Ashton Daniels was sacked on third down. That down was FSU's nemesis all night; it finished 2-for-14 on third downs. Florida State punted the ball back to SMU, and the Mustangs got into position for an easy field goal thanks to a 29-yard completion to Dramekco Green on third down with less than three minutes to go.

Lights? Out. Football? Played. The result? Florida State football dropped its ACC opener to No. 19 SMU 27-24 on Monday, Sept. 7 at Doak Campbell Stadium.
The start of the game was delayed for over 90 minutes after a power outage occurred inside the stadium minutes before kickoff. It resulted in the game being started with no public address announcer, QB-to-coach helmet communication, and in-game replay.
Here are three takeaways from the Seminoles defeat to SMU.
The Mustangs out gained the Seminoles 328 to 165 in the first half, yet only led by a score of 17-10 at the break. SMU ended the game with 585 total yards to FSU's 324, and yet only won by a field goal thanks to two interceptions and a forced fumble.
SMU did much of its damage on third down as the Seminoles struggled to get off the field again, going 8-of-14.

Stop me if you've heard this over the past 48 hours: the broadcast clock is not the official game clock.
On Saturday night, Michigan's season-opening matchup against Western Michigan went from a college football game to an all-time timekeeping scandal.
Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood launched a Hail Mary out of the end zone as the clock hit triple zeroes. The Western Michigan Broncos thought they'd pulled off the 12-7 upset. After review, officials concluded one second remained on the clock, giving Michigan a second chance. Underwood found JJ Buchanan for the game-winning touchdown, shrouded in controversy.
On the NBC broadcast, rules ***** yst Terry McAuley was flabberghasted by that phantom second. The Big Ten released a formal statement, including the official internal video used for review. On Sunday, NBC's John Fanta stated, "The official time of the game is kept by the Big Ten. Our cameras are not the official arbiter of timekeeping within the game."
By Monday night, ESPN's broadcast of Florida State and SMU experienced a lengthy delay due to a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium. Finally, officials surmised they'd restored enough light and power to play the game, but with several caveats. No replay, no scoreboard, no PA announcer, and no coach-to-play communication.

Despite getting the win against New Mexico State in Week 0, the Florida State Seminoles are looking to play better against the SMU Mustangs. For their second game of the 2026 season, they are jumping right into ACC play against the Mustangs.
Florida State and the Mustangs first met in 2024. In the last game, SMU crushed FSU, 42-16. With guys like Kevin Jennings under center for the Mustangs, they have a great opportunity to take down a struggling FSU and build their resume.
When asked about his thoughts going into SMU week, head coach Mike Norvell praised the Mustangs.
"This is a championship caliber opponent game all, all part of it here to kick off ACC play and very excited for what's in front of us the opportunity that's there coming off the game."
But what do the experts have to say about this game? Find out here ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff from Doak Campbell Stadium.

There's a new scholarship program for those interested in golf-course design and it's being started by one of the best in the game: Tom Doak.
According to a story in golfcoursearchitecture.net, the Doak Award will go out every two years to students who have showcased a commitment to a career in golf-course architecture.
"The purpose of the award is to further the education of promising young architects who have already demonstrated their dedication to a career in golf course design," Doak the publication. "It is really a write-your-own-award set-up, so that it's tailored to the gaps in each applicant's experience, whatever they think they are."
Doak has modeled this after the Dreer Award which he earned while at Cornell in the early 1980s. That award paid for him to travel and study golf courses. The Doak Award requires applicants to propose their own program of study and inlcude travel and educational pieces.
"I do expect travel to be an important part of the award, but I am keenly aware that it is much more expensive to see great courses today than when I spent nine months in the UK for about $10,000 in 1982," says Doak. "To that end, I am enlisting a bunch of my former clients to provide lodging and food in key locations, and asking fellow architects to host a student for a day or two if travelling to their part of the country."

It will be a spirited crowd on Monday night when the No. 19 SMU Mustangs come to Doak Campbell Stadium to take on the Florida State Seminoles. It's the ACC opener for both schools, and it will set the tone for conference play for each program in 2026.
FSU was able to pick up a win in their season opener thanks in large part to only allowing 17 points. With that said, they need to improve in multiple areas against SMU if they want to come out with a victory.
Here are five defensive keys for the Seminoles as they look to stop a very capable Mustangs offense.
It all starts in the trenches. This is a game where guys like Daniel Lyons, Deante McCray, Rylan Kennedy, and the Desir twins need to establish themselves from the get-go. If they can do that, they'll have a good chance of keeping SMU behind the chains.
Jennings is a dual-threat type of quarterback. So, Florida State's defense will need to keep him rattled while he's in the pocket, while also keeping a spy on him in case he tucks the ball and decides to run. This is an essential key for them.

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose will have to juggle his playing resources carefully when the Cherries embark upon their first season in Europe, starting at Real Sociedad on 17 September.
Uefa's deadline for clubs to submit squads for the league phase of the Europa League was midnight on Wednesday, with Europe's governing body revealing each club's squads on Thursday evening.
Because of the strict rules governing "club-trained" and "association-trained" players, the Cherries have only been able to register 21 first-team players in "List A" rather than 25.
And that has meant that several senior squad members - Julian Araujo, Ben Gannon-Doak, Fraser Forster, Juanlu Sanchez, Max Aarons, Daniel Jebbison and Veljko Milosavljevic - must sit out in Europe for now.
Eli Junior Kroupi and Amine Adli, currently sidelined with injury, are included so can feature in the league phase when fit.

The Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial continues in Colorado, as he tries to have a massive judgment of $11.89 million discharged.
Via Olivia Doak of the Boulder Daily Camera, Shilo Sanders took the witness stand on Tuesday.
He disputed prior testimony that painted him as the aggressor in a 2015 altercation that left John Darjean, who was a security guard at Shilo's school, with serious injuries. Shilo said that Darjean was "getting aggressive" and "attacked and **** aulted" Shilo. He added that Darjean choked him.
Other witnesses said they did not see Darjean choke Shilo Sanders.
The fight happened after Darjean attempted to confiscate Shilo's phone.

Florida State football commenced the 2026 season with a home opener at Doak S. Campbell Stadium against the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday, Aug. 29., where the Seminoles defeated the Aggies 34-17 in a roller coaster of a performance.
FSU started the game on defense after losing the coin toss. Despite the Aggies gaining some ground early on, the defense held strong. The crowd erupted after senior defensive back Quindarrius Jones intercepted a throw in the end zone to put the 'Noles on offense.
Following the turnover, the Garnet and Gold, led by fifth year quarterback Ashton Daniels, engineered a strong drive that brought them into the red zone. However, after Daniels was sacked on third and goal, Florida State was forced to settle for a field goal from senior kicker Gabe Panikowski to take an early 3-0 lead.
Later on in the first quarter, a screen pass from Daniels to senior running back Samuel Singleton Jr. set the Seminoles up inside the New Mexico State 10-yard line once again.
On third down, Daniels scored his first touchdown of the season as he evaded the blitz to give FSU a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. However, New Mexico State bounced back with a touchdown of their own as New Mexico State junior quarterback Trey Hedden connected with senior receiver Brodie Malone-Bradford to cut the Aggies' deficit to three.

The FSU Seminoles opened the season with a win over the New Mexico State Aggies, pulling out a 34-17 win in Doak Campbell Stadium. It was a much tougher game than expected, to the dismay of FSU's fans.
The Aggies were in the game from the start, driving on the field on the opening drive of the game before an interception ended the drive, allowing FSU to take an early lead. Despite the turnover, New Mexico State head coach Tony Sanchez liked what he saw from quarterback Trey Hedden.
"Yeah, I thought Trey really stepped up," he said. "We're big believers in him, and that's why we named him the starter. He's got some really good guys behind him, but I thought he did a really good job. They did a pretty good job of harassing him, and I thought the line stepped up too. I mean, I thought they played well.
"But he made one poor decision early on, on that interception. But other than that, I thought he played a really, really good game. He played a tough physical game. So I'm glad he's leading us."
Hedden completed 26 of his 42 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns with the one interception. FSU was only able to sack him three times, with him doing a good job of getting the ball out quickly.

The Florida State Seminoles will open their 2026 season Saturday night against New Mexico State, and the Aggies are receiving a seven-figure guarantee for making the trip to Tallahassee. According to a contract reported by the Tallahassee Democrat, Florida State agreed to pay New Mexico State $1.4 million for Saturday's game at Doak Campbell Stadium. The agreement called for the payment to be made by July 15.
The matchup is what is commonly referred to as a "buy game," with a larger program paying an opponent to play a one-off contest at its home stadium. Those guarantees can provide important revenue for Group of Six and FCS athletic departments while giving Power Four programs an additional home date.
Florida State's payment to New Mexico State exceeds the guarantees attached to two of its nonconference home games last season. The Seminoles paid Kent State $1.2 million for its trip to Tallahassee in 2025 and East Texas A&M $450,000 for its visit to Doak Campbell Stadium. FSU defeated those teams 66-10 and 77-3, respectively.
Saturday will mark only the second meeting between Florida State and New Mexico State. The programs first played on Oct. 3, 1964, when the Seminoles earned a 36-0 victory in Tallahassee. New Mexico State enters this season after finishing 4-8 in 2025, its second year under head coach Tony Sanchez.
The Aggies represent the first step in a schedule that becomes considerably more challenging for Florida State almost immediately. After Saturday's opener, the Seminoles host te No. 20 SMU Mustangs in their ACC opener before traveling to play the No. 11 Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 3.

Florida State will enter into a new football season at home on Saturday, hosting New Mexico State at Doak Campbell Stadium.
FSU has fallen short of expectations in recent years, not even reaching bowl eligibility since 2023, when the program was infamously snubbed by the College Football Playoff. With a 5-7 record last year, the Seminoles are hoping for more success behind star transfer Ashton Daniels, who will lead the offense under center.
New Mexico State is also hoping for a better outcome than last year, in which the program went 4-8 overall. Luckily, the Aggies are returning much of their veteran talent on both sides of the ball, and a slew of transfers will help to bolster their defense.

The wait is over. On Saturday, the Florida State Seminoles take on the New Mexico State Aggies in Doak Campbell Stadium.
In terms of FSU, they're looking to bounce back from a 5-7 season and return to a bowl game for the first time in three years. New Mexico State didn't have a good year either, with a 4-8 record. So, both teams will be looking to jump-start the 2026 campaign with a victory. Especially Florida State who is a 31.5-point favorite.
Despite being expected to win, FSU has to come out with a sense of urgency against a team like New Mexico State, which would like nothing more than to pour more gasoline on the fire when it comes to the Seminoles moving on from head coach Mike Norvell.
With that said, here are five things to know about the Aggies heading into this game.
New Mexico State was one of the worst rushing teams in college football a season ago. They only averaged 77.3 yards per game and finished with 927 yards for the year. If that doesn't improve, they'll have a tough time pulling off the upset.

Florida State coach Mike Norvell won't release a depth chart before Saturday's season opener against New Mexico State, but one of the Seminoles' most intriguing position battles remains at quarterback.
Ashton Daniels has secured the starting job, yet the competition for the No. 2 role continues between sophomore Kevin Sperry and junior college transfer Malachi Marshall. While Sperry entered fall camp as the presumed backup, Marshall's rapid development since arriving this summer has turned the race into one of the team's most closely watched storylines.
The Seminoles open the season against New Mexico State at 7 p.m. Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium, and the pecking order behind Daniels may not become clear until game action unfolds.

Marshall arrived with significant ground to make up. The Iowa Western Community College transfer enrolled during the summer and was tasked with learning Norvell's offense while building chemistry with new teammates in a condensed timeframe.

Florida State and the National Football Foundation will honor Peter Warrick and his recent induction into the College Football Hall of Fame during the Seminoles' Oct. 31 game against Clemson at Doak Campbell Stadium.
It's part of the NFF's On Campus Hall of Fame salute. Each electee returns to his respective school to accept an NFF Hall of Fame plaque that will stay on permanent display at the institution, and it gives the home crowd an opportunity to recognize the player.
Warrick was one of the most dynamic players not only in FSU history, but in college football. He played from 1996-99 after redshirting in 1995 and was a two-time consensus All-American. He holds the FSU record for career receiving touchdowns with 32, and he compiled a 45-4 overall record during his time in Tallahassee.
A 1999 National Champion, Warrick's 3,517 career receiving yards were the most in ACC history and ranked second on FSU's all-time list. He also ranked second in program history with 207 receptions, 15 100-yard receiving games and an average of 4.81 receptions per game.
Announced in January as FSU's 12th Hall of Fame electee. He joins his former head coach Bobby Bowden (inducted in 2006) and teammate Warrick Dunn (2024) in the College Football Hall of Fame. FSU's other inductees include Marvin Jones (2022), Terrell Buckley (2019), Derrick Brooks (2016), Deion Sanders (2011), Ron Simmons (2009), Charlie Ward (2006), head coach Darrell Mudra (2000), Fred Biletnikoff (1991) and Ron Sellers (1988).

Florida State football held its second preseason scrimmage on Sunday, Aug. 9, at Doak Campbell Stadium.
It was the second scrimmage of the week for the program, with the first one coming on Tuesday, Aug. 4. The two scrimmages were sandwiched between the program's annual trip to Jacksonville to practice at the University of North Florida.
Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell said the team ran "around 100 plays" and he felt it was a "good day" for his unit.
"I thought it was a good day for practice 10, to see the installation, the situations," Norvell said in a Zoom after the scrimmage. "We had a little bit of a two-minute there at the end, seeing guys work. I thought overall, there was a lot of great film that we're going to be able to evaluate from."
Here are three takeaways from the scrimmage.

Programs across the country are recruiting Kameron McGee, and the Florida State Seminoles became the latest school to offer him a scholarship back in June.
FSU has emerged as a contender for the four-star edge rusher, and he has reportedly scheduled his first visit to Tallahassee. According to Allen Trieu of Rivals, he will be visiting for FSU's game against the SMU Mustangs on Sept. 7 in Doak Campbell Stadium. Trieu added that the Seminoles are one of the schools "recruiting him the hardest."
They are not the only school he will be visiting during the 2026 college football season. He will also see the Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, and Georgia Bulldogs.
McGee is ranked as the No. 18 overall player and No. 6 edge in the Rivals industry ranking. The Chicago product is also the No. 2 player from Illinois.
He is coming off an exceptional sophomore season at Brothers Rice, which he helped lead to a state championship. McGee finished the year with 54 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 21.0 tackles for loss, 20 quarterback pressures, nine pass breakups, and a forced fumble. He was named a MaxPreps Sophomore All-American for his great work and will be looking to take another step as a junior.

Ashton Daniels took his first reps inside Doak Campbell Stadium during Florida State football's scrimmage on Tuesday, Aug. 4, and the Seminoles' coaching staff liked what the fifth-year put on tape.
Both head coach Mike Norvell and offensive coordinator Tim Harris Jr were complimentary of Daniels' growth from spring practice to preseason. The duo said the transfer signal-caller made some big throws in timely situations during the scrimmage.
"He was completely locked in. We had some big third-down situations and him just being comfortable in the pocket, going through his progressions and putting the ball where it needed to be," Harris said in a press conference a day after the scrimmage.
"There were times when our defense gave us certain looks, and he had to slow things down to get us the right play. And he did that flawlessly."
The pre-snap reads and adjustments are an area both Harris and Norvell noted, and it's a positive for Daniels. Turnovers have been an issue for him in his career, with 22 interceptions and 16 fumbles, so if he's recognizing what the defense is throwing at him quicker, that could keep turnover numbers down and get the ball in the hands of FSU's playmakers.

The Florida State Seminoles held their first scrimmage of fall camp on Tuesday night in Doak Campbell Stadium as they prepare for the New Mexico State Aggies and the 2026 season. While Mike Norvell was pleased with starter Ashton Daniels, it was not all good news in the quarterback room.
Norvell revealed that Malachi Marshall is dealing with a "slight injury" and did not play, according to Liam Rooney of the Tallahassee Democrat. Norvell did not seem to think it was a major injury, saying he hopes he will be available for their second scrimmage on Sunday.
Marshall, who recently joined the team, is competeting with Kevin Sperry to be FSU's primary backup behind Daniels. A JUCO product, he is coming off an excellent season at Iowa Western C.C., leading them to a national championship and a 12-1 record. He was named the JUCO Offensive Player of the Year after he completed 63% of his passes for 2,750 yards, 33 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
While he has a great ability to throw the football, he has plenty of catching up to do after missing out on spring practice. At 168 pounds, he also needs to keep adding weight to survive the grind of a season.
Sperry was able to show what he can do in the scrimmage, hitting freshman wide receiver Jasen Lopez for a big gain, Norvell said, before adding that there were some things to "continue to work on" when addressing Sperry. He played in three games for FSU last season, completing 12 of his 17 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns.
