We have no room to talk. We have had our own pay for play/bounty scandal; Troy Aikman breaking his ankle was no accident.
Yes, Bowden negatively recruited against us. A LOT of schools negatively recruited against us. Bowden had the free shoes scandal and Bowden forgave certain transgressions from big time players.
...But then again, so did Jimmy Johnson, but he gets a free pass from us because he's one of our guys and he won. And I love JJ, but he certainly didn't have a halo over his head.
This thread is not about that. He was a **** good coach, and indirectly, he made our program better by being so competitive against us. And that deserves a nod of respect.
Trust me, when Steve Spurrier dies, you're not going to hear ANY kind of good things come out of my mouth for that coward.
