    Well said, Wing. By all accounts from people who knew him, whether you like Bowden or not on the field, his personal faith was real.

    I think Norvell is tanking to get a higher draft pick next season. I mean they can't be this bad, right?

    Even the clown fans have quit. It is time to reclaim Ron Zook Field! We could probably make it like a home game if we wanted to.

    Then you don't understand Christianity. I have no love for Blobby, but no one ever said he deliberately tried to hurt Danny. That is Homer talk. Hitting through the echo of the whistle is not the same as directing players to physically maim opponents.

    Probably shouldn’t make fun of another team while we are dealing with our own house. But if that helps do what u gotta do

    My case against Bowden is less for on-the-field stuff and more his boys will be boys thinking.

    I think you drawing a conclusion of my understanding of Christianity from a post on a message board is …. Suspect. The notion of Christianity does not include advocating leniency for an abuser of women (Bowden asking for ‘leniency’ for a player who raped and shot a woman). If he did this all the time, fine. But only for an ex player when you sell recruits on coming to a place where “the coaches take care of the boys?” (Keep them off the police blotter).

    I wish we had more people in this world who emulated Jesus (or whatever religion/construct leads to following the golden rule). You are likely correct that there is also an element of homerism in my take. But the whole Saint Bobby thing is inapplicable to a guy who would cut corners (academic cheating scandal forced vacated wins), use boys will be boys excuses, and (I believe) try to hurt a kid (echo of the whistle? Really?).

    As for no one ever saying he tried to hurt Danny: “Danny Wuerffel should not be treated like a tackling dummy because he plays quarterback against FSU. He’s responsible for how his players play, and I’m responsible for how ours play,” Spurrier said.

    In the end, it doesn’t matter to me. Someone saying they are a Christian means nothing- they are words that may be sincere or not. How about I say Bowden was a hypocrite when he acted like he was above the cheating and late hits his program practiced. You want a guy who played square, look at the HBC.

    I know Bowden helped many kids be better men. Unlike you, I won’t question Bowden’s (or anyones) understanding of Christianity, but I’ll continue saying he was a hypocrite (and yes wing, it’s only my opinion, just like yours).

    FSU just canned 3 assistant coaches, including both coordinators. The right move. Hopefully they hire duds.

    Not sure that they will attract much talent with that head clown and that roster. Their recruiting class sucks too!

    The Notre Dame post game show was absolutely fantastic and if I find some time I will post snippets

    Yes I am fully aware that our GATORS were blown out the same day but you have to find joy somehow someway in these trying times
