If Bobby Bowden wins 50 more games than I do, I wouldn't care. He's a great guy, a great coach.

How many guys can coach as long as I've been coaching Be healthy enough to be able to get it done and still enjoy it

I had the opportunity to make the play again - later on I ran the same route and was actually successful on a leaping catch, ... Coach (Jeff) Bowden always tells us to take advantage of that next opportunity.

I'm going to give it to my mother Diane Wynn right now. I wanted in the worst way to win, but I'll never forget playing in this game. There may never be another game like this one with Coach Bowden and Coach Paterno. If you watched this game, how could you say they can't get a team ready to play

45th over England 171-5 (Pietersen 76, Collingwood 2) Lee is bowling seriously quickly - consistently around 95mph - and looks to have trapped Collingwood lbw. Only for Bowden to rule, wrongly, that Lee had no balled. Oh dear oh dear, Bowden is having a shocker. Collingwood dabs a single, and then Pietersen twice thumps Lee straight down the ground.
