HawgGoneIt Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I saw this story earlier today and thought, damn! He's 91. His terminal illness is probably just being human and mortal. I hope I can live that long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I met him in Tampa in 04 at the Tampa Palms Golf and Country Club. Went to his dinner and speech. he was hilarious. Just an all around great human being. As a lifelong Noles fan I didn’t know any other football without Bowden. He was the best. All his players loved him. He was strong man of faith and never was afraid to express it. *pic vanished* 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_e Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 This terminal illness is probably more attributed to his age. Once you reach a certain age, the body starts to deteriorate. It's a blessing to reach 91. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

181pl Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 This is bad. I started watching the Seminoles in 1979 and listening to them on the radio with my dad. I’ve always been a huge Bowden fan. Such a good dude. And a great coach. This is going to be terrible when he passes. I remember those great seasons in 79 and 80 where they went to the orange bowl against Oklahoma and we’re within a snails hear of a national title. Then 1981 they had their famous Oktoberfest, with road games consecutively against Notre Dame, LSU, Ohio state, and Pitt. And they won three of those four, only losing to top-ranked Pitt in that stretch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetlarry Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Coach Bowden is a good person. His aw shucks attitude and willingness to engage anybody made him as a fan favorite, even by rivals. 91 is a lot of life to have lived. Coach is ready for the next chapter, whatever that may be. Peace be with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he exposed NCAA investigators for sleeping with Ole Miss boosters wives to try to nail Miss State. I like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
