By offering them free shoes? :^)
Actually I used to be a big Bowden hater when they were recruiting too many thugs, but he's been growing on me. Thought it was really cool listening to him and Paterno after the game last night. BTW, FSU played a heck of a good game.
Texas is lucky they didn't get a late hit call. That kind of stupid sloppiness will cost them the game, if it continues.
You'd be suprised at some of the crap they'd pull. There were bonafide moles (jobless dropouts with nothing better to do) who would literally troll the campus with cameras hoping to catch something. It was organized and malicious.
I've never understood what people have against Bowden. Maybe since I used to sit 3 pews behind him in church every Sunday as an undergrad, it made it even more puzzling.
Bowden is like a father to most of his kids. He takes kids with talent and tries to help them grow. Does he ride along in their back pocket every Friday night? No. I'd also venture to say no program in the country over the past 15 has been under as much pressure, scrutiny, and surrounded by enticing agents.
Bowden is a man who lives by the book and has a football staff that does as well. He's a good man, a good coach, and a good Christian.
My boys did fight well last night. There's a reason a 4-loss FSU team gets picked for a BCS bowl. They came to play. With as many freshmen they started last night, the team is set for the next 4 years or so.
