It's amazing when you sit and think about it.
 
Bobby has called allot of plays in life. A life well lived. I pray for a peaceful passing. I always liked him, he respected the **** out of Miami.

This could have been Hollywood stuff but they had a scene in the movie We are Marshall that he acted like a human when he was at WVU when Marshall needed help. He just always seemed like a good person. Talk about leaving a legacy, he will be missed.

Don't feel too bad for him.
Remember, the CFB gods threw him a bone in 2000.

The guy had to play juggernaut Miami teams every year. I’ll give him a pass. He didn’t duck Miami. Now that list is long and he ain’t on it!

I may get sent to the gulag for this comment but I am prepared to board the train through the Urals.

Dude was as solid as it gets. I interacted with him only 1 time. He made me feel loved. Weird in a cool way. He just related to football players. I think he had that effect on a lot of people.? The thing I respected the most about the man though?
He wasn't a COWARD.


Go Canes!!

****.
34 yards.
Short-legged the **** out of it.

Miami Hurricanes are all over the field....they're going to be penalized for it, but so what?

And the prancing and dancing begins...
 
Always respected Bowden, just as a lot of you have said. He was blessed with a long, full life and he made huge impacts on so many other people’s lives. A great legacy to leave behind, no doubt.

I hope he doesn’t suffer with this horrible disease. I watched my mentor fight pancreatic cancer and it was gut wrenching.
