1999 Bowden Bowl 1


Sep 12, 2017, 2:37 PM

Clemson played FSU to a 17-14 loss,then in 2000 with an all World Do Everything QB without much talent around him, thought we had arrived because we played em tough the season before. How'd that 2000 FSU game turnout ?

FSU 54-7.

Yeah they had that fake handoff pass from the 2 yard line that went 98 yards for a touchdown. FSU had everything rolling that game.

I remember that play like it was yesterday. One of the toughest losses I remember growing up as a teenager. That one and maybe the BC loss to Matt Ryan. Games like that is why winning the Natty was so sweet to me.

2004 GT was the worst for me. Blowouts are bad, but that game was the worst in the 20 years I've been a fan.

Yeah, and Louisville doesn't have Ann Bowden.***

I still think we should have gone for it on 4th down instead of FG attempt that was blocked. We had been moving the ball well, I think it was 4th & 2. Tommy gave Bobby a gift.

Yep . That's when I lost confidence in CTB .

Riiiiight. Lost confidence in his first year as a HC... Sure ...

When CTB walked on campus that summer, and into the fall it set many high expectations.

The hope and confidence crash was a slow train wreck.

BUT - here we are now, TOP of the ACC and CFB world. Agree with the other posters on the subsequent FSU blowouts, that is why FSU is the biggest game on our schedule these days. Because paybacks a B I T C H ... ain't it!

I just want us to drop 56 pts on THEM this year (and ever year).

It was the coldest game I ever attended


Sep 12, 2017, 2:46 PM

And it was the game after the Peter Warrick Dillard's suspension, thus the birth of "Free Shoes University"

The play action 98 yard bomb was the back breaker.

Agreed on the coldest game, I literally wanted to hug someone's kerosene heater in the parking lot after the game ...

When I think of late Fall weather, i always remember how dang cold it can be in the foothills of the Apps.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Free Shoes University started in the mid 90's.


Sep 12, 2017, 5:38 PM [ in reply to It was the coldest game I ever attended ]

An agent was giving FSU players shoes. Spurrier caught wind of it and called them Free Shoes University !

that was bad, but we were in that game. the worst,imo, was the blowout under Hatfield. it was then that we all knew something had changed and not for the good.
