I saw this linked on Warchant.
It has been about an hour since I watched it.
I watched it about 5 times.
It evokes a number of thoughts an emotions in me.
It is .....
... painful
...revealing
...a little shocking
I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill here, but ....
Well, first, you should all know where I'm coming from with regards to Bobby Bowden.
I was a child of the 70s and 80s. My first FSU-Florida game was when we got killed in 1974 -- 42-14 or something like that.
Then came Bowden in 1976 ...

Right now, is anyone hotter than Megan Fox? … “wolf boy” … the weak pregame speech of Bobby Bowden … yet another “Great Depression 2″ call … sorry for the tardy and brief roundup, but it was a rough night …

Bobby Bowden Gives Less Than Inspiring Pregame Speech
FanIQ Blog —
An awful lot of people think that both Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden should retire. And while I can't exactly speak for JoePa, I certainly can for Bowden after I saw this video clip above.
It's Bowden giving a rousing pregame speech before his 'Noles played Boston College last weekend. And by "rousing" I mean "he reads the damn speech off of a notecard while guys fall asleep." I swear, if it got an livelier in the locker room a funeral would break out (thank you, I'll be here all week). By the way, I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn that Florida State ...
Bobby Bowden is no Al Pacino

This might be the most uninspiring pregame speech of all-time:
That’s certainly a step down from Al Pacino’s “Inches” speech from Any Given Sunday:
EDSBS RAW: NAKED SUSHI BUFFET PICKS, WEEK 14
EDSBS —
Texas A&M @ #2 Texas
HOLLY, QUASI-RATIONAL: Sorry to make an afterthought of you, Agros, but the question here isn’t a Texas win or loss, but a Texas win blowout-y enough to maintain its eensy BCS lead over Oklahoma or not. Still worried about the ‘Horns run game? They can leave it at home, thanks to A&M’s very gracious (91st-ranked) pass defense. Light ‘em up, Battle Cattle.
Grateful for: My veryown Daddy, for teaching me to recognize a 4-3 defense and how to grip a football before I had the training wheels off my ...
College Football – What to Watch (Week 14)
The Bull Gator —
Today is Black Friday. This means if you don’t have two TVs to complete your college football orgasm, today’s the day you can go out and buy one (or more) at rock bottom prices. Do it. Do it now. There are only a few short weeks left in the college football season. You’ve had all year to man up. Now’s your last chance. Here are the games you should be watching today: South Carolina @ Clemson – 12:00 – Actually, wait and tune in around 3:30 when the game should be coming to an end and keep your fingers crossed for something similar to ...
OPEN THREAD, SECOND SHIFT: FLORIDA STATE IS EVIL, SOGGY
EDSBS —
If you don’t flip out and run through the nearest wall after that amazing inspirational speech, join us for the second thread to watch Florida at Florida State. One school stands for all that crushes your soul in the night. The other is Florida State, and sucks. Join the dark side, young Jedi, and extend your arms in pincer motion in front of you and open and close them in a rhythmic fashion.

Tomahawk Nation Exclusive: Tomorrow Night's Defensive Pregame Speech
Tomahawk Nation —
Don't ask me how I got my hands on this (does anyone have any Scope?) but I was able to get a copy of the script our defensive coaches plan on using to bring that extra special fire to the Spring Game tomorrow night.
Tommorrow night's speech is going to go down as one of the greatest of all time...
It might even top this one that stirred the hearts of Seminole fans everywhere last season.
I'll set the stage for you. It's 6:52pm tomorrow night and the offense and defense have gathered on opposing sidelines for some last minute ...

Bowden out at FSU?!?!?
Saturday Sound Offs-The Blog for the College Football Junkie —
Noooooooooo! It can't be happening! Well, as of right now, it's not, but a trustee member wants Bowden out as soon as possible. Bobby Bowden is taking the more conservative approach of "evaluating himself at the end of the season." Seems logical, right? Well, not when Florida State fans are watching their team begin the ACC season 0-2 with Georgia Tech coming up next week. Their entire season can't afford another loss if they want to compete in the ACC. They lost to their little in-state brother, USF. They needed a last-minute TD drive to beat Jacksonville State. Things aren't pretty in Talahassee, but you know what, if ...
The Program’s Picks
Friends of the Program —
Every week the the degenerate gamblers who run this site attempt to pick games for the upcoming college football weekend. We are usually completely and totally wrong, blinded by team allegiance, alumni status, and probably a 5th of Makers. That being the case, we’ve enlisted help of professionals…not for the Makers ...
