RIP Bobby Bowden

[Nalt]

RIP Coach B.

He did provide some pretty comical moments especially in interviews. He was also reportedly the hand-picked replacement for Bear Bryant by the Bear himself but the BOT would have none of it. I'm actually pretty happy that the BOT didn't bring him to Tuscaloosa...

mehhhhh...

I'm not going to pretend he wasn't a piece of ****

I wanted to say something like this but mama always told me if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. And as you all know I live by those words religiously.

I’ve always found it necessary to compartmentalize my thoughts when it came to Bowden and Florida State. FSU was our arch enemy and it often stood in the way of us flaunting our power in the state and esp in recruiting battles. I came to loathe its successes but I always found it hard to dislike the man. He was too damn likable.

What Bowden did was make college football a whole lot more interesting and esp for Floridians. The ‘90s rivalry with Florida was must-see TV for the entire nation. Bowden was the perfect smiling, joking foil to Spurrier’s dagger digs. Free Shoes University. Those were great times if you loved the game. The intensity was off the charts.

He’s gone now and what I’m mainly left with is the memory of his arrival in Tallahassee a year after mine in Gainesville. He changed things up in a big way. And so I can relate closely, maybe just due to the realization of the loss of time. Life can be weird that way. RIP.

I am sure they will have a great turnout for a nice memorial service at Ron Zook Field.

FLASH POLL!

Has anyone you know lived longer than 21 days after joining Hospice?

His "aw shucks" attitude while knowingly and willingly teaching dirty football will always be a stain on the game. To his credit, he knew how to get the media on his side so they never called him out.

And fuch all Nolez.

Oh, that’s right. I’d forgotten he was also the father of Terry. I just ordered another beer.
