Bobby Bowden in No Mood to Celebrate 80th Birthday

by Jim HenryFiled under: Clemson, Florida State, ACCBobby Bowden turned 80 on Sunday, but he wasn't in the mood to celebrate. Bowden's Florida State Seminoles lost a key ACC game at Clemson and also their starting quarterback, Christian Ponder, possibly for the season with a separated shoulder in the process on Saturday. Talk about a family funk. Bowden's son, Terry, whose coaching staff includes younger brother Jeff, saw his undefeated and top-ranked Division-II North Alabama Lions tumble in four overtimes on Saturday, too. And Bowden's son-in-law, Jack Hines, the defensive coordinator at Colquitt County High (Ga.), opened the weekend with a defeat on Friday. "Our whole family got whipped. We ain't celebrating nothing," Bowden quipped Sunday.Bobby Bowden in No Mood to Celebrate 80th Birthday originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog on Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:10:00 EST .
