I watched "We Are Marshall" Yesterday was..?

Question

Bobby Bowden really that accomodating to them by letting them copy his playbooks and game film at WVU? If so, what a guy

Answer 1

From what I have heard that was true...I'm a Florida grad (not Florida State) so have no love lost for bowden but I have heard that was true.

Answer 2

Everything I have read about the movie says that was a pretty accurate depiction. Very classy. I don't like how some things are done at FSU but overall I think Bowden is a good man and his doing that doesn't really surprise me all that much because I'm sure he felt it was the right thing to do. Football coaches are a tight-knit group and even now a lot of them still help each other out here and there. Maybe not to that extent and no so much at the college and pro level but I would bet it still happens at the high school level quite a bit.

Answer 3

I don't know if that is true or not but it sounds like something Bobby Bowden would do. He likes to win, but over and above that he loves the game and the competitive spirit of the game.
