Growing up in the midwest watching Big Ten football, I always kept an eye on football in the state of Florida. The Florida - Florida State rivalry with Steve Spurrier and Bobby Bowden was as good as things got! That was always big time football. And, as a broadcaster, I had the privilege of interviewing coach Bowden numerous times. It was always fun and entertaining.
