[QUOTE="Tech Lawyer, post: 1010317, member: 5229"] I have an interesting story to share regarding the 2009 game in Tallahassee. As some of you might recall, during the week leading up to that game the FSU President made a public effort to push Coach Bowden out as the FSU program had been sliding for several years. Well, the FSU fanbase would have none of it. The Seminoles came out of the tunnel walking with arms locked around their beloved Coach and the 80,000 in attendance applauded wildly. As some have already mentioned the game was a total track meet. Christian Ponder and Josh Nesbitt were lights out. FSU lost a heartbreaker in perhaps Tech's finest offensive performance under Coach Johnson. Fast forward about three years and who came by my office one Friday evening but none other than Jon Dwyer. Jon had put on a summer football camp that my son had attended at Kell High School that day. I told Jon that as I was riding home from that game , I listened to Coach Bowden's post game interview. Despite the emotional turmoil of the week and the heart breaking FSU loss, Coach Bowden launched into 30 seconds of comments praising Jon for being such a fine young man at the start of the interview. I told Jon this is a Hall of Fame Coach talking about you. Well, I think Coach Bowden would be very proud of Jon now. Recently someone who he is close to said he is doing very well as an Assistant Coach at Kell and is loved by the students and players. One thing is for sure. There will never be another Coach Bobby Bowden. [/QUOTE]
