Coach Bowden scarred me for life. Still have visuals of the punt rooskie game in my head and Deion Sanders prancing back punt returns ??
Bobby Bowden was a father figure to us all. He will be missed.

I always respected him even when FSU owned the ACC.
His quip battles with Spurrier were legendary, too

I didn’t enjoy losing to him but he was a legend! Football will look back at his era as the glory days before commercialism and me-ism took over and ruined it!

Bobby and Tommy both spoke that evening about there faith, and trusting in the one who holds our lives in his hands. Bobby you will love my brother he's a huge Clemson fan he beat you to Heaven this year im sure he's probably already greeted you today or soon will.

You raised the bar in the ACC and showed us where we wanted to be. You gave me a lot of heartburn and sometimes disbelief and disappointment after our matchups. You definitely left your mark on college football and made it better. Your legacy is still going strong. Prayers and condolences to the family.

The only bad thing - I can say about Coach Bobby Bowden is "PuntRooskie"
Butler for 78 yards-- A little part of my orange heart died that day!
He was a fantastic Coach and Great Man.
RIP Coach B!

Just echoing everyone else. Great man, class act, great coach. Like others, puntrooskie was brilliant but a heartbreaker.

Response to the reporters on Sebastian Janikowski breaking curfew and if he'd be suspended for the Natty. He said "you’re crazy if you think I’m benching my kicking machine for staying out late on Bourbon Street. A newly adopted “Warsaw rule” was what Bowden trotted out instead, laughing at the absurdity of it all.
“If we kick off, he will kick unless he has a heart attack — or I have one,” he said. “I do have a Warsaw rule: If he is breathing and alive, he will kick off."
Wide right wouldn't be part of that game !
RIP Bobby...you were always a class act .

RIP Coach Bowden!
His teams were always really "dad-gum" good! Liked to hear him when he got going too! Seemed like a very likable man and he will be missed around CFB.

I don't know how long it took me to not sweat our game against FSU anymore after he retired. He will be missed.
