Mrs. Bowden

The clear highlight for me in what was a great day of college football was during the Clemson-FSU game. They had Bobby Bowden's wife/Tommy Bowden's mother in the stands, and they were asking her about her allegiances. She said that she was having doubts about coming to the game, but then decided the right thing to do was to stick by her husband. And this clearly was a bit of a surprise for at least some of the announcers, who surely expected, "I'm just rooting for a good game" type answer. So she got a followup question, and she really drove home the point. She essentially said she likes to see both of them do well, but ultimately her loyalties are to her husband. I have to give her props for that one. She speaks her mind. She may be an awful mother, but she speaks her mind.
