FLORIDA FOOTBALL: FOOD FOR A MAN'S SOUL
History Rewritten
Michael of the Braves and the Birds catches Coach Tommy Bowden trying to rewrite history. Michael of course refers to Tommy’s comment in SI that goes as follows:
“Not long ago, it was Florida State and Miami dominating college football. Where was the SEC then?” said Clemson coach Tommy Bowden. “These things go in cycles. The SEC has had a nice run. I’m sure that the ACC or another conference will take its place.”
To this Michael brilliantly replies “Yes, where was the SEC back when Miami and Florida State were so good in the 90s?”
1993 Sugar Bowl, Alabama 34 - Miami 13
1997 Sugar Bowl, Florida 52 - FSU 20
1998 Fiesta Bowl, Tennessee 23 - FSU 16
I’d say the SEC hasn’t gone anywhere Tommy. Lay off the booze.

there is no doubt the canes and fsu had good teams in the 90’s, hell we would have had a couple of undefeated teams too if we played in those two great and storied football conferences.thanks man for being the first person to make me laugh every morning.

Don’t forget, Tommy, that Miami wasn’t part of the ACC until *after* its five national championships and 2002 BCS title game appearance. Before that, they were part of the Big East.
So, technically, the only good school left standing is FSU. And they also lost a title game to Oklahoma in 2000.

Idiotic statement.

Typical Bowden. Clemson should keep this idiot on the football field and away from the microphone.

Yes, but in one of the most hyped showdowns of the 1990s, Emmit Smith’s brother lead a mighty 7-4 Clemson team over a 6-5 Pookie Jones lead UK squad, thanks to a fumble by one marty moron. That peach bowl was the ultimate bowl of the 1990s…:)
