HEADLINE: Florida State Seminoles tame the Clemson Tigers in a 41 to 27 victory on Saturday, November 8th at Doak S. Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida!!!!!
F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E Florida State, Florida State, Florida State.... Wooooooooooooo!
Jon and I are back from a wonderful weekend getaway to a few of our favorite spots including Dothan, Alabama and Tallahassee, Florida. I surprised Jon almost 2 months ago by putting FSU game tickets in his lunchbox one morning before work... tickets to see what I thought would be the annual "Bowden Bowl" pitting father against son in an ACC match up. However, due to Terry Bowden's termination at Clemson earlier this season, there was only one Bowden coaching this Saturday. Bobby Bowden came with his game face on and another year under his belt as the entire stadium sang Happy Birthday to him on his 79th!
The whole weekend was great.... I didn't have to share Jon with anyone (except 80,000 other fans) and we really enjoyed some alone time together. And without further blabbing I'll just "show" you how the game went...... Notice in the pictures how completely full the stadium was by kick-off. We were there way early for all the pre-game stuff and I think everybody else waiting until exactly 3:30 before finding their seats.
Our free shirts from the game, tickets and the gameday program.
