Jesse VenturaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Is that, is that what Bobby Bowden teaches at Florida State, hit the man when he's out of bounds? Deliver that cheap shot after the whistle?
Jim RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Simmons comes off with high impact.
Jim RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And he is great personification of the high impact wrestler.

Jesse VenturaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, it's gut-check time now for Bobby Bowden's protege because he's getting the worst end of the stick from the crazy Cactus Jack.
Jim RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's the fourth quarter and this gator from Truth or Consequences, Cactus Jack is driving and Simmons is being sternly tested here.
Tim HydeHOST
You know, you got to let them play.
Tim HydeHOST
The old Bobby Bowden thing.
Tim HydeHOST
Hey, I coach my guys.
Tim HydeHOST
You coach yours.
ChrisHOST
Mm-hmm.
Dutch MantellHOST
And anybody that, that, that knows anything about football knows that Florida State for years was a powerhouse, and he, he played for the Bobby Bowden team.
Dutch MantellHOST
And you won't know what I'm talking about.
Dutch MantellHOST
He was the coach, Bobby Bowden.
Dutch MantellHOST
But he, he's a great athlete, and he played nose guard, and that's what they were talking about, uh, Gaylord.
Dutch MantellHOST
He played nose guard.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now they go for their seventh championship tonight under Bob Stoops.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
For Florida State, well, Bobby Bowden's built the dynasty of his own in 25 years in Tallahassee.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They have been in this game three straight years.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They've won two championships, one in the 90s, one to start the year 2000, a year ago in the Sugar Bowl.
26 MINS LATER
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And Swally, back-to-back championships is not something easily accomplished, though Oklahoma has done it twice already.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now Florida State wants to join that illustrious group you see on screen.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Bobby Bowden going for number three.
Brad NesslerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Bob Stoops going for number one.
Mike TiricoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Got it out to the 24-yard line.
Lee CorsoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know who popularized that, I think? Bobby Bowden.
Lee CorsoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Bobby Bowden, Florida State.
Lee CorsoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In fact, in the last year's championship game against Virginia Tech in the middle of the second quarter, Florida State had played 54 football players, and Virginia Tech had played 28.
Lee CorsoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And people say to me, well, why did they beat them in the fourth quarter? I just told you the story.
34 MINS LATER
Rod GilmoreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
More money going into the facilities, more money being paid to coaches, athletic directors becoming conservative and wanting to protect their investment by hiring someone who has experience instead of having a situation like they did at Alabama.
Chris FowlerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But the exception might be a guy like Mark Richt, a very well-thought-of coordinator at a program like Florida State who's been a part of championship teams.
Chris FowlerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know it's still rumor, but if he would take that job at Virginia, can you imagine Bobby Bowden, Tommy Bowden, Chuck Amato, the 18-year assistant for Bowden, and now Mark Graves? That would be an incestuous little mob in the ACC.
Jeff CameronHOST
And that's true.
Jeff CameronHOST
And as somebody who's been, uh, on the air for as long as I've been on the air and who saw the downfall of Bobby Bowden's legendary career, who saw the rise of Jimbo Fisher and the eventually downfall of Jimbo Fisher's time at Florida State, obviously the very brief, um, career of, uh, Willie Taggart and, uh, its rapid downfall, uh, the hiring of, uh, Mike Norvell, and now what looks to be, uh, the sort of wrapping up of his career, it's true, that's how things end.
Jeff CameronHOST
And, you know, that's, that's the way it works, is that things work until they don't.
Jeff CameronHOST
Uh, things are going along swimmingly until they're not.
Tony GerdemanHOST
Why are you playing Rose-Hulman? They're like Division III.
Tony GerdemanHOST
Didn't Tommy, no, Bobby Bowden.
Tony GerdemanHOST
He did that with your two FCS teams because they needed wins.
Tony GerdemanHOST
They needed wins because they...
Ira SchoffelHOST
Yeah, I don't know.
Ira SchoffelHOST
I think some of the same problems exist because, you know, I think Florida State, and this is just big picture conversation, Florida State hit it big mostly because they got Bobby Bowden and because they're in the state of Florida and they're It was a great time for, as college football is getting big, Florida State, Florida, Miami are the perennial programs in the state.
Ira SchoffelHOST
There's so much talent in the state.
Ira SchoffelHOST
It was the best state to get players out of at the time.
Bill BenderGUEST
As they should.
Bill BenderGUEST
It reminds me a little bit of Bobby Bowden at Florida State toward the end, where it was like, he's going to break the record.
Bill BenderGUEST
There was a run of dominance.
Bill BenderGUEST
At Florida State, it was much longer.
Jim CoyleHOST
Right.
Jim CoyleHOST
Very similar.
Bill BenderGUEST
Yeah, so I don't think Dabo will be – I don't think it will be as bad at Clemson at the exit as maybe it was for Bob Knight or even Bobby Bowden where there was a lot of bad feelings toward the end of the Bowden era.
Bill BenderGUEST
So, yeah, they're in a tough spot.
Brian KozarHOST
Well, with that, with that, in that vein, I'm on to my number two.
Brian KozarHOST
You know how he'd say, "I'm, I'm on to Cincinnati." So my number two, an absolute college football legend, the late, great Bobby Bowden.
DaveHOST
Love it, love it, love it.
DaveHOST
Number one, I, I believe that I, I told you you might hear a name that you mentioned a little earlier at some point in my conversation.
