BOBBY VS. TOMMY: BOWDEN BOWL I; FLORIDA ST.-CLEMSON BRINGS NEW MEANING TO THE FATHER-SON GAME.Byline: Scott Wolf Scott Richard Wolf (born June 4, 1968) is an American actor. Born in Boston, Massachusetts to Steven Wolf and Susan Enowitch, Wolf was raised in West Orange, New Jersey. He graduated in 1986 from West Orange High School. College Football Bobby Bowden Robert Cleckler Bowden (born November 8, 1929 in Birmingham, Alabama), better known as Bobby Bowden, is the current head college football coach of the Florida State University Seminoles. is never lacking for a one-liner, even on the eve On the Eve (Накануне in Russian) is the third novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons. of history. Nearly every family member is converging on Clemson's Death Valley on Saturday for college football's first father vs. son game. If that wasn't enough, the Florida State coach will be going for his 300th victory when he takes on Tommy and the Tigers. So how did Bobby feel about the matchup? Asked this week, he said he was going to play his wife ``Ann's boy - not mine but Ann's.'' Tommy, who has Clemson off to a respectable 3-3 start, didn't miss a beat with a comeback. ``Yeah, I always wondered about that,'' he cracked. ``I'm taller, my eyes are different than his. We've got to find that guy.'' The top-ranked Seminoles (7-0) might be fighting for a national championship and dealing with Peter Warrick's legal troubles, but the good-natured Bowden is trying to enjoy facing his son. At least most of the family will be rooting for him, as Tommy duly noted. ``Let's see Let's See was a Canadian television series broadcast on CBC Television between September 6, 1952 to July 4, 1953. The segment, which had a running time of 15 minutes, was a puppet show with a character named Uncle Chichimus (voice of John Conway), which presented each , there's two parents and six kids and they'll all be rooting for my father but me,'' Tommy Bowden Tommy Bowden (born July 10, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama) is the head football coach at Clemson University. He is the son of Bobby Bowden, head coach at Florida State University. Bowden has never had a losing season at Clemson. He is a two-time ACC Coach of the Year. said. ``No, my sister will be with me since her husband's on my staff.'' Jack Kines, who is married to Tommy's sister Robyn, coaches Clemson's defensive backs. It makes more sense for the family to pull for Bobby, because he is chasing his 300th win, Tommy said. ``I'd think they'd like to see one where we lose close; that way it's OK for everybody,'' Tommy said. Bobby Bowden anticipated this moment for a while but with son Terry and Auburn. Terry resigned last year, but when Tommy left Tulane for Clemson, the historic matchup was set again.

Clemson's Bowden says the history probably won't hit him until just before he's on the field Saturday night, seeing his father's red, white and yellow outfit, preparing to shake his hand. Tommy knows what the two will talk about. ``How much (brother) Terry will criticize us on ABC,'' he said. Bad analysis: Louisiana State's 1996 recruiting class has been a flop. Or maybe it's the recruiting analysts who are flops. In 1996, some services had LSU's class 10th in the nation, second in the SEC behind Tennessee. Coach Gerry DiNardo was hailed as a recruiting genius. Today, only 13 of the 29 players signed in 1996 are on the team and LSU LSU Louisiana State University LSU Large Subunit LSU La Salle University (Philadelphia, PA) LSU La Sierra University LSU Link State Update (OSPF) LSU Learning Support Unit football is on the verge On the Verge (or The Geography of Yearning) is a play written by Eric Overmyer.

The problems with the class have been many: Players quit, were kicked off the team, flunked out, failed to qualify for entrance and transferred to other schools. It's just one more example that a good recruiting class doesn't necessarily translate into a winning season. Silent treatment: South Carolina South Carolina, state of the SE United States.

didn't say anything to Nutt. Holtz also blew off Arkansas assistant
coach Keith Burns.
Nutt and Burns played for Holtz when he was at Arkansas. They also served as graduate assistants on his staff. ``I hope he wasn't mad after the game,'' said Nutt, who mostly restricted his offense to straight handoffs after grabbing a 38-7 lead in the third quarter. ``I knew he was probably hurt and discouraged. At first, I thought he thought I was trying to run the score up. The first-teamers were out by midway through the third quarter. He didn't say anything. He walked away so I walked away. I just think when you're 0-7, that's tough. Everywhere he's been, from the national title and all the highs, coming back to Little Rock, that's not easy.'' Holtz did his best spin-control on the situation. ``There wasn't anything to say. They beat us,'' he said. ``Houston knows how I feel about him. I'm very proud of him.'' Whatever you say, Lou. Shake it up: Cal's players and coaches got a nice jolt from Saturday's 7.1 earthquake, with the the team hotel swaying for more than a minute. Most of the players and coaches handled it fine, except for offensive coordinator Steve Hagen, who was on the 14th floor. He promptly fled the hotel, drove his rental car to a vacant parking lot across the street and slept in the car the rest of the night. ``I've been in a lot of earthquakes,'' Hagen said. ``I've been in my living room during earthquakes, I've been in my backyard during earthquakes, but I've never been in a 19-story building during an earthquake. It was freaky freak·y adj. freak·i·er, freak·i·est 1. Strange or unusual; freakish. 2. Slang Frightening. freak .'' Added Hagen: ``I was on the 14th floor.

Say What? ``On one hand you want to spank him, on the other you want to kiss him.'' - Cal coach Tom Holmoe on freshman quarterback Kyle Boller. Best Bet No. 3 Nebraska (6-0) at No. 18 Texas (5-2) Since the Big 12 began playing football in 1996, the Longhorns are 2-0 against the Cornhuskers, prevailing both times as double-digit underdogs. Texas won the 1996 league-title game 37-27 in St. Louis and pulled off a 20-16 upset last season in Lincoln, Neb., ending the Cornhuskers' 47-game home winning streak. Nebraska is 25-4 against Big 12 opponents, but half of those losses have come to Texas.
