I'm sure the boosters aren't complaining about the National Championship trophy sitting at the facility or only 1 loss in the last two years.

How dare they. Racists.

He's just a good boy who stole crab legs, screamed obscenities at a girl and possibly raped another girl.

Other than that, he's a true gentleman

Florida State fans will just shite on Bowden. Understandable though. He is senile at this point.

ETA: Are they supposed to applaud a former coach for being a giant hypocrite?

I'm not a fan of Winston, but it's pathetic for Bowden to say in effect - gee, thanks for all that you did, sorry you didn't get your degree from FSU, now get the hell out of here because we don't like you anyway. Bowden is still a classless clown.

Thank you for this thread. It was because of your quickness that I was able to break this quote to my buddy, an FSU alum who loves both Jameis and Bowden.

That's a reasonable opinion to have. Kinda messed up to say it after he's gone and you don't need him anymore.

I'm sure they're not.

They could've released him from his scholarship if they felt he was such a bad person. But they wanted the wins.

I think part of it could be sour grapes from Bowden.

Jimbo Fisher has done pretty well for himself since he took over for Bowden.

has Bowden been a sunshine pumper for the program since he left?

I think Bowden is right here but he's a tired old man who just wants to get his name back out there with a quote like this.

I mean he didn't have to say that, I thought it was pretty much accepted anyway.

I heard the interview and Paul asked him and he answered his opinion.I agree though he's the last person who should be throwing stones.

Bowden really has no room to judge. Wasn't like he was recruiting choir boys during his era at FSU.

It goes to show you that wins will always trump behavior. This isn't uncommon, pretty much happens at every university that contends in football.

Not that anyone isn't going to take their success the last two years, but to argue otherwise is idiocy.
