That one really hit me.  They have been one of top favorites of mine for over 50 years.

Helluva coach.  
He took what had been an all-girls school 27 years years earlier and went on an unprecedented run in the 80s and 90s.  Even Alabama under Saban hasn't been as consistent.

Plus, as you said.  Saban did it at a helmet school, Bowden did it at about the farthest thing from it

It's funny.

OU is 6-1 all-time vs. FSU.  4 of those wins (3 in Orange Bowls) were against Bobby Bowden, and 2 of them kept FSU from winning the MNC.  2 were against Jimbo Fisher.

The loss was against Bill Peterson in the 1964 (season) Gator Bowl.  Peterson, beyond being the coach who produced Fred Biletnikoff, was known for saying things like, "Pair off in groups of threes, then line up in a circle."

Osborne was 2-6 vs Bowden

including losses in Lincoln in 1980 and 85 that helped Bowden get rolling

the last 4 losses in Bowl games Tempe and the Orange were to dern fine Seminole teams - nothing to be ashamed of
