I'm friends with someone who is very close to Jim Grobe....they used to coach together. Grobe told him that Bobby was so over-the-top nice and gracious after the 30-0 humiliation, that he was choked-up and nearly moved to tears.

Said that any other coach would have wanted to get to the locker room as quickly as possible after that debacle, but that BB grabbed Grobe by the arm and heaped praise upon him and his team, at length. Kept calling him "Jimmy"....said "Jimmy, if I had to get beat like that by someone, I'm sure glad it was you."

"We are all Plutonians now."

Coach Bobby Bowden is a great Christian man...	FSuperiorU	11-28-2006 23:19
