Faith, Family, Football: The Legacy of Bobby Bowden

FSU Seminoles Coach Bobby Bowden often told his players they should have three priorities: faith, family, and football – in that order. Several months after his passing, the Village Square’s regular God Squad series will devote a special program to Bowden’s spiritual legacy. This program will feature a number of Bowden’s former FSU football players recounting memorable tales about their legendary coach and the values that animated his life. Join us and enjoy lots of poignant pigskin stories and (no doubt) some holy humor as we remember “a man after God’s own heart.”

God Squad regular Father Tim Holeda of St. Thomas More Co-Cathedral will moderate this discussion with several former football players under Coach Bowden: Leon County Commissioner Nick Maddox (running back on the 1999 National Championship Team), Dan Campbell (offensive guard on the 1993 National Championship Team), Ryan Sprague (tight end on the 1999 National Championship Team), and Charlie Ward (1993 College Football Heisman Trophy Winner and Davey O’Brian Award recipient).
