[subterfuge]

Bobby Bowden and his bow-ayz are morally bankrupt when it comes to ethical behavior. He and his bow-ayz coach their bow-ayz to "hit 'em till you hear the ECHO of the whistle" and they don't deny it. Its their way of explaning away their bow-ayz late hits.

As the overrated Peter Warrick once said after getting busted in the Foot Locker store scheme,"hey, it's not like I shot the President."

Also, nobody "in this part of the country" as Icthus wrote, loves the guy except the win-at-all-costs Seminole fans.

That said, the Lets Roll flap is way overblown.

"hit 'em till you hear the ECHO of the whistle"

Close...but a misquote. The actual quote came from Mickey Andrews and he told his Defense to "play through the echo of the whistle". Which by the way, is what you do if you are focused on winning, and not whining.

FSU/Bowden has managed to do what very few other schools have....the equivalant of going to the Final Four for 11 or 12 straight seasons. Over 60% of FSU starters in the last 10 years went to the NFL. Bowden is currently tied with Bear Bryant for wins.

The complaints sound more like envy than justifiable accusations of cheating.
