We arrived in Tallahassee in the fall of 1976, the year after we married, for SirKit to attend graduate school. We weren't big football fans, but Bobby Bowden had arrived the year before, and FSU's team was beginning to build. Over the next four years, we spent lots of pleasant Saturday afternoons and evenings in Doak Campbell stadium. And when we couldn't be there for the games, especially after our #1 son was born, we could hear the game from the house we rented, which was about a block away.

Fun times, for sure. I wish Bobby well. He's an old guy now, and I hope he has a few more years to enjoy his family!

My Father covered FSU for the FLA TIMES UNION. I used to eat dinner with the coaches on Saturday night, spent many hours in the press box watching stories being written, I’ve played catch with Fred Biletnikoff (pre-Bobby’s years), was there on the 50 yard line in Doke when Steve Spurrier was a freshman, FSU won their first game 16-7 against the Gaotors who at that time I hated!

But then I went to Florida and my father spoke to me less, gave me a hard time when the Gators had problems.... My dad lived to see Bobby’s first trip for the National Championship game but did not live to see the 1990’s championships.

Wish Bobby well but like many, he needed to pack up a few years ago.
