He arrived my sophomore year. It was fun watching him rebuild the program.

Tough day here. Fitting he went to glory on the Lord’s Day.

I was a Gator fan all my adult life, beginning in 1979 when I first moved to FL, frankly for no particularly good reason. Bobby Bowden was the best argument for choosing the Noles instead. By God’s grace I will see him one day where he is, and where our Lord is. RIP.

Wonderful man. The world needs more like him.

Texas Tech v Florida State was my first college football game when I was a freshman.

Did he get the jab because of his age?

I recall a documentary about Bowden years ago in which it was mentioned somewhat jokingly that after the University of Florida refused to play the University of Miami ever again that Bobby's tombstone would read "But I played Florida"

I learned from the movie “We Are Marshall” what a class act Bobby was to that program after the horrific plane crash decimated the team. Bobby was the head coach at West Virginia then.

God bless Bobby and may he rest in peace.

May all of his team’s field goal attempts in Heaven never go wide right.

Farewell, to a fine Christian man, and a worthy opponent all those years.

[crusty old prospector]

Yeah, I remember that pummeling. Burt Reynolds threw down the spear at the beginning of the game.

[TallahasseeConservative]

Not sure. But he had Pancreatic Cancer.

[Georgia Girl 2]

He arrived after I graduated but what a guy!

[NWFree]

I remember he beat COVID a while back 8 months or so?

RIP thanks for the games and the air attack.

[libertylover]

An offensive genius IMO. RIP.

He was #1 in wins among major college football coaches for a while. Then they reinstated certain wins by Paterno and Bowden dipped back to #2. Grambling coach (Robinson?) still #1 among all football coaches at the college level if my recollection is correct...
