Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Big changes at the top of highly visible college football programs, Turkey readers!
Earlier, we mentioned that Charlie Weis is out at Notre Dame. Now, ESPN is reporting that venerable Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden will retire at the end of this season. Details here.
Of course, this means that venerable Nittany Lions head coach Joseph V. Paterno can retire any time now, absent the stigma of Bobby surpassing his career wins record.
One of our local rag’s sportsmorons has written a ridiculous piece about Joe Paterno, this year’s PSU successes, and how a triumphal effort will affect Bobby Bowden. ???? ?????? 888 Bobby Bowden? Who cares!
David Whitley of The Orlando Sentinel thinks that Joe should go out on top, “which is probably the only way he will go”, most likely this year. He thinks that 82 year-old Paterno has been acting more like he is 92 this year. ???? ??????? 365
If you were born in 1926, you shouldn’t be demonstrating an onsides kick to players born in 1990.
Naturally, this being Florida, everything must relate to Bobby Bowden. ??????? ??? ????
Bowden will be 79 on Saturday, but compared to Paterno he looks like Tom Cruise bouncing on Oprah’s couch.
Read this poorly written piece of trash here.
No, this is not about giving Joe Paterno the bum’s rush. ???? ???? ??? It’s about a friendly rival of Joe’s, Bobby Bowden. These days, the grass grows just about as brown on Bobby’s side of the fence as it does on Joe’s.
This past weekend, after Florida State lost to Miami, an irate fan planted a “for sale” sign on Bobby’s Tallahassee front lawn. ????? ???? ????? Nasty stuff. I don’t think anyone ever did that to Joe.
Read this column by Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel calling for Bobby to depart. One minor conjecture of Bianchi’s is that both Bobby and Joe are hanging around for fear the other guy will be able to claim the most pigskin wins of all coaches. ????? ??????
Perhaps both Bobby and Joe should declare that battle a draw and move on with their lives.
