Week 14 College Football: Holy Tebow! A Civil War for the Rose Bowl?

ESPN just announces that Bobby Bowden is set to announce his retirement tomorrow.

 

Who ventured to predict, back on this board in August, that the Oregon/OSU game would determine a Rose Bowl participant?

Consistently amazing how things unfold, ain't it?

 

Tallahasse Democrat has it as well.

wow. the first of the giants falls. florida state with bowden, and penn state with paterno is all i've known as a college football fan.

 

While this move was overdue, part of me is a little sad that Bowden was forced out.

 

This is all setting up for FSU vs. Notre Dame in the Gator.

 

bowden to princeton!

 

Maybe Bowden will take the Louisville job. He couldn't be any worse than Kragthorpe.

 

At some point the speculation had to affect recruiting. Name the field after him, give Bobby a job in the athletic department, maybe have him make some recruiting calls if it would help and move forward.

 

So now that JoePa has outlasted Bowden, he can coach one more season, hit 400 wins and retire.
GUARANTEED!

 

I think the field might already be named after him.

 

Correct, it's named Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium.
