Former Texas A&M Coach R.C. Slocum seems like a stand-up guy. That's why we think he won't mind us highlighting some of his favorite photos through the years, as posted on his Facebook page. More »

FSU, in a fit of Super Bowl Sunday housecleaning, throws out 12 football victories, 22 men's basketball victories, a track championship, some old Sam Cassell photos, and a bunch of expired Foot Locker coupons. [Orlando Sentinel, Daily Fix] More »

It's only the beginning of the third quarter and Florida is already thrashing Florida State 30-0. This will only end in tears. I'm just not sure if it will be Tim Tebow or Bobby Bowden producing said tears. Maybe both. More »

The big game this afternoon appears to be Florida State at Florida. Tim Tebow will play his final game at the "Swamp" and Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden will try to remember he is coaching in a football game. More »

Bowden may not remember what happened two quarters ago, but he remembers when FSU was good. That used to be enough for boosters, but after a mental lapse quite in character with an octogenarian, who knows. More »

The chairman of Florida State's Board of Trustees says "enough is enough" and 2009 should be Bobby Bowden's last year. He also knows this great place that is a "retirement community" and totally not a nursing home. [Tallahassee Democrat] More »

FSU's 14 forfeited wins puts Bobby Bowden a distant second in number of all-time D1 victories. The dignified thing to do would be to accept it, move on, and try to outlive outlast JoePa. That's not how Bobby rolls. More »

I know phrases like "four-year probation" and "vacated wins" sounds really bad for Florida State, but the truth is that their punishment is a weak response that doesn't fit the crime. More »

We're never reminded more of just how old we're getting than when we watch college freshmen play sports. Penn State kicker Kevin Kelly, we swear, has to be lying on his birth certificate; there's no way he's older than 12. The poor kid finally erased the chances he'd be a Buckner-type goat by finally squeaking through a 29-yard field goal to beat Florida State in triple overtime. Kelly — who is as many years younger than his coach as Phil Jackson is years old — not only doesn't have any peach fuzz on his chin yet, he appears to have zits and a cowlick. There are times we feel perverse putting such value on these sports, on one kick, and last night was one of them. More »
