There He Goes Again!

You all (y’all)  have got to understand that this transplanted Yankee is so fed up with the Good Old Boy Network!  There’s nothing good, boyish and it isn’t restricted to just Tallahassee.  I’ll have more to say on the Network part of the equation, shortly.

The Legend Coach just cannot help himself, I guess!  He was voted into the Florida State University Sports Hall of Fame and immediately asked that his entrance be postponed until next year?  Perhaps the date did not fit into his personal schedule or perhaps he had a commitment that he could not postpone.  I understand that award dates are not always convenient for the recipients or their families.  Somehow, I think there is more to this than will be shared with the public.

Perhaps sharing the spotlight with the Legendary Defensive Coach Mickey Andrews was too much for Bobby to accept.

Perhaps a large purse (contractual dollars) for an Integrity Lecture by the Legendary Bowden caused Bobby to pause.   Pardon me if I observed that The Legendary Coach seemed to be in the later years more concerned with making money and less concerned about earning it.  Remember Coach Bowden was not coaching for some years before his publicized exit from FSU.

Perhaps Coach Bobby Bowden felt some distance needed to follow his exit and the results of the NCAA punishment and cost of appeals.

I watched several Tallahassee Sports telecasts and not one member of the local Sports Networks even asked the question, WHY?  I ask, “WHY NOT?”

Please, spare me the Bobby trivia and the historical analysis.  I will always categorize Coach Bowden as Legendary, but I refuse to request Sainthood or continue to encourage him to call the shots.  What is wrong with the picture?  It’s more than fuzzy!  It’s downright interference from the GHOST of FSU PAST!
