The Bowden Dynasty Endorsements Charlie Barnes is a master storyteller and entertainer, and a great Seminole. In The Bowden Dynasty: A Story of Faith, Family, and Football, he covers the whole field—all the personalities, issues, and events that defined Seminole football in the 1990s. —Coach Bobby Bowden I shouted “touchdown, Florida State” on the radio more times in the 1990s than in any other decade. It was an epic time to be a Seminole, and Charlie Barnes covers the 1990s dynasty era com- pletely … with a little good humor thrown in too. Now that’s another “touchdown, FSU!” —Gene Deckerhoff The “Voice of the Seminoles” I began my term as president the very day we won our first national championship. And, throughout my time as president, it was Char- lie Barnes who continued to chronicle the FSU sports program and put the success of the dynasty period into perspective, demonstrating how important the sports program was to the university. Charlie has been the Boswell of our sports era, helping us understand and appre- ciate all that has been achieved. —Sandy D’Alemberte President, Florida State University 1994–2003 It was an incredible time, and it changed my life. In my four years on the team, we never lost a game in Doak Campbell Stadium. Thanks to Charlie Barnes for refreshing all those wonderful memories. —Chris Weinke 2000 Heisman Trophy Winner A STORY OF FAITH, FAMILY & FOOTBALL An Insider’s Account CHARLIE BARNES AND BOBBY BOWDEN BroadStreet Publishing Group, LLC Racine, Wisconsin, USA BroadStreetPublishing.com THE BOWDEN DYNASTY: A STORY OF FAITH, FAMILY & FOOTBALL An Insider’s Account Copyright © 2017 Dynasty Productions Group LLC ISBN-13: 978-1-4245-5435-5 (softcover) ISBN-13: 978-1-4245-5463-2 (e-book) All rights reserved.

I first met Charlie Barnes when he was an older FSU alumnus supervising his fraternity’s opening rush night in 1980. I had been on campus for no more than a week, and this was the first rush party I had been to. My roommate and I were flattered that Charlie was so outgoing and welcoming. Unlike the dozens of other people we met that week, I didn’t forget Charlie’s name and how enthusiastic of a salesperson he was. Later I would recognize him as an up-and-coming executive with the Seminole Boosters. The Seminole Boosters realized early on that given Tallahas- see’s remote location in the state of Florida, if they were to begin raising serious funds to help build a top-level football program, then they were going to have to go where the money was—in cities and towns all over the Southeast. Charlie Barnes was for many Boosters the face of the organization, traveling every year with Coach Bobby Bowden from town to town. They hosted ban- quets, golf tournaments, pep rallies—anything they could do to help build the Seminole Boosters organization. Charlie did it all: he drove Bobby and Ann Bowden in the Boosters’ van; he was the master of ceremonies; he slapped every back he could; and he regaled anyone who would listen with one Seminole tale after another. Coach Bowden would stay late and sign autographs, and then it was on to the next town. Charlie was one of the most impressive public speakers at FSU, and few people had more enthusiasm for what was happening at Florida State during the Bowden era. At the same time, Charlie was 9 10 THE BOWDEN DYNASTY a print voice of authenticity for the Boosters, sharing his insights in Booster reports, magazine articles, and newspaper columns. In those days, before the Internet, that was how most of us who followed the FSU football team got our “insider” news—via first- class mail, in Booster magazines. For many of us fans, Charlie Barnes’ Booster columns were as insightful in the 1990s as the sports news we’d get in the Osce- ola, a Seminole sports newspaper run by Jerry Kutz. If you were a die-hard fan back then, chances are you subscribed to the Osceola for the most candid news and inside stories about the program. A good friend from the FSU Foundation, Pat Ramsey, introduced me to Jerry Kutz back in 2006 and said she thought we might have something in common. None of us had any idea of what was to come. It was my good fortune to meet up with Charlie Barnes as I began imagining our film The Bowden Dynasty. The year was 2012 and Charlie mentioned he was culling his best articles and columns for a possible book he had in mind that focused on the same topic of the dynasty. He offered to let me read the manu- script, and when I did, I couldn’t put it down. Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right for the film to come together and it would be a few more years before I could talk to Charlie about combining our film with his written accounts of the dynasty years. In 2013, I took a chance meeting with Seminole Booster executives Andy Miller and Jerry Kutz to discuss the idea of a doc- umentary on the dynasty years and Coach Bowden’s life story.

    Register Early $565 Per Couple Conference Speakers Mark and Katharyn Richt Mark Richt currently serves as a studio analyst for the newly launched ACC Network. Prior to his time with ACC Network/ESPN, Richt served as head football coach at the University of Miami and the University of Georgia. Richt was named the University of Miami’s 24th head football coach on Dec. 4, 2015. His hiring provided immediate dividends as the Hurricanes posted a 9-4 record in his first season in Coral Gables. Miami then defeated West Virginia, 31-14, in the Russell Athletic Bowl for the program’s first bowl victory in 10 years. The Hurricanes were ranked No. 20 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 23 in the final Amway Coaches Poll – the program’s first season-ending rankings since 2009. Miami had 10 players earned ACSMA All-ACC honors in 2016, while quarterback Brad Kaaya became Miami’s all-time passing yards leader. Freshman wide receiver Ahmmon Richards broke the 31-year-old freshman receiving record at Miami originally set by Michael Irvin, while sophomore running back Mark Walton became the 11th 1,000-yard rusher in program history. Six Hurricanes were selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. Nine Hurricanes were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft, the most for Miami since 2006, including first-round pick David Njoku to the Cleveland Browns. Richt has had 99 of his players drafted as a head coach, including 14 first-round picks. Richt, born in Omaha, Neb., and raised in Boca Raton, Fla., returned to his alma mater after leading the University of Georgia football program for 15 years.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season.

Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.
