Turns Out Bobby Bowden Is A Dick
OK, so we all knew going in that the Gator Bowl would be mostly a circus. Bobby Bowden this, Bobby Bowden that. Not only did the man cure cancer, he found a way to win 800+ football games in his spare time, nevermind that his total win tally is retreating with NCAA sanctions.
Like I said, we all knew it was going to be all about Bobby. But really, Sir Bowden, did you need to start the victory parade in the middle of the third quarter? I'm exaggerating, of course, but not by a ton. With two minutes left in the game, Bowden did his best to look like he was campaigning for future office: shaking hands, kissing babies, and dry humping Deion Sanders.
I don't care how great a career you've had, can you do us a favor and wait until the end of the game before you start giving your hall of fame speech? Even Bill Stewart looked pissed, only stopping to shake hands and share recipes with Bowden at midfield for a season-low 8 seconds. And if you've managed to piss Stew off, you know you've fucked up mightily.
Although, it seemed pretty clear that Bowden didn't give a shit, which makes him a, you guessed it, penis.

when you are eighty something you can do whatever you want in my book
Players who should be in the Hall of Fame: DIck Lebeau, Pat TIllman, Dwight White, Donnie Shell, L.C. Greenwood, Ray Guy, Steve Tasker, Greg Llyod, Andy Russel, Chris Carter, Kevin Greene and Jerry Kramer
"If you give Arians a fullback, he won’t use one. Instead, he insists on using Matt Spaeth, who probably doesn’t cast a shadow because it would require blocking sunlight." stellin with some very true words
Although That Is True...
…that usually means eating all the ice cream you want, not feeling obligated to put your dentures in every day, and going back to smoking unfiltered cigs. It doesn’t mean taking a victory lap and throwing your (ugly, signed!) hat into the stands while the game isn’t even over…when I saw that happen I had an earnest wish that we would miraculously screw up his fairy tale ending. Alas, it was not to be.
Charley, let’s not forget that the people showering him with love were the same people behind forcing him out.
One more thing that I have neglected to mention before: I am so glad that we don’t have any cheers where words are spelled. Lame, generally speaking, and more specifically, probably a good indicator that there are plenty of remedial major patterns to be had!
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear, the gang's all here,
So hail West Virginia, hail.
Spelling cheers
Would require a fan base that actually knows how to spell. And based on what I’ve seen, even on this blog, that’s not one of our strong suits.

Just needed to clear my head.
Which is Charley West code for “do lots of heroin.”

I agree.
His end of game antics lacked the class that he was supposed to personify. He is now in Bobby Knight category in my book. He does not practice what he preaches.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.
I "kinda" disagree
I dont know, I was at the game and when he did what he did we seemed to have thrown in the towel anyway…by abandoning the running game in the second half and only giving Devine 5 touches. I was more pissed about that.
Bowden is cool.
KEN
Devine
I hope to have a post up this weekend that breaks down Devine’s involvement (or lack thereof) in the second half.

I look forward to disagreeing with every point.

I agree with KENH
to kinda disagree with Dr. Charley. I was there also, and as far as I could tell Bowden didn’t start celebrating until FSU went 12 points ahead with two minutes to go. Yes, we had the ball, but no real chance of winning given the way we’d played most of the second half.
So, after his pretty amazing 34 year run at FSU I didn’t begrudge the old man a chance to crow one last time. I remember when he used to do that on our sideline at Old Mountaineer Field.
Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer.
We were only down to scores, with the ball and two minutes left. Most coaches would be coaching down to the wire, scares of the small chance of a comeback. Buy it was like he knew we were done. I was thinking at the time how strange it was that while the game wasn’t over bowden didn’t think we had any chance. I found it strange. But wvu didn’t do anything to prove him wrong.
I’m of the opinion that if you don’t want them celebrating, don’t let them beat you. Except mick Cronin. I hope he gets tetnis from a rusty trombone.

Truth in brevity.
…I’m of the opinion that if you don’t want them celebrating, don’t let them beat you. Can’t add anything to that.
WOW
What a bunch of crybabies. Without “Sir Bobby” your school wouldn’t have a team. Time to face the facts that FSU handed it to you back woodsy hicks!! LOVE IT!!!!!
We're Backwoods?
I think you have it backwards. Had our crazy fan-base not burned Bowden if effigy after a 9-3 Peach Bowl season, FSU wouldn’t have had a team….and, by the way, Jimbo Fisher is from West Virginia.

9-3 season.
I know it’s not the same, but how funny would it be if we ran Stew off after going 9-4, only to have him go to, say, Florida International and turn them into a power?

That'd Be Hysterical...
…to me, anyway. But all the naysayers would THEN say, that the administration fucked it up!

That would be as ironic as the administration “running” rich rod off after the best sustained success in school history only to turn national power Michigan into a laughing stock.

Verdict Isn't In On Rich at Michigan, Is It?
I still think he will win there…dammit.

Technically, he was burned in effigy after the 4-7 ’74 season, but point taken.

You're Right...

I've said it before and I'll say it again
Bobby is a good football coach.
On a personal level he’s a lying, cheating, criminal recruiting boob who looks the other way as his players do everything short of murder. As hard as ESPN and the FSU fanbase attempts to sweep it all under the rug, Bobby’s legacy will be the fact that he DESERVED to have wins taken away from him.
Hear, Hear!
However, he will always be able to fall back on the excuse that he had NO IDEA what was going on with the program…that was Jimbo’s job….

The sanctions for which he is losing his wins stem from athletic tutors and athletes involved in academic fraud which involved track, football, swimming, everything. It was a failure on the part of the entire athletic department and every sport, not just Bobby. And we should be thankful we haven’t been caught doing the same thing.

Why? Do You Know Something?
Clearly…if our guys have tutors, they aren’t very good ones. If they were, Berry and Sowers would have played in the bowl game….

But Wouldn't That Be Something A Counselor Oversees?
Seems like the way most athletes at top programs are babied, that it would be someone’s job to ensure the class mixture was right…

to an extent yes, but these are college students/young adults
and you can’t hold every single one of their hands and go over every little academic detail with a fine toothed comb, nor should they be expected to. At some point, responsibility has to ultimately lie with the student.
You stick up for everyone but your own school.
Why?

I don’t crticize other schools because I don’t care about them. And I don’t think that wvu is right all the time just because they’re wvu or that other schools are wrong just because they aren’t wvu.
