Had a great time with @bowdenblitz on 'The Terry Bowden Show' on @AUUndercover. Check it out ⬇️ 247sports.com/college/auburn…

Congratulations. Vandy is 6-1 for the first time in 75 years and already bowl eligible. What used to be the final destination now seems more like a mile marker.

Hey pundits. Quit writing articles about coaching replacements for jobs that are not open.

Hey coaches. You want to get your name out of the coaching carousel? Just go lose your next game. That should take care of it. Hey fans. When your coach isn’t being mentioned in the coaching carousel is when you have a problem.

We need to play COMPLIMENTARY FOOTBALL. If I heard it once this weekend I heard it a thousand times. It’s just a fancy way of saying “everybody just do your job.” It’s already right up there with PHYSICALITY and CATCH RADIUS as grandiloquent terms I can do without.

Football season is when I miss my dad, Bobby Bowden, the most. For 20 years I’d call every morning at 5am just to talk. And, for 20 yrs he ended each call the same way. “Terry, you say something good about me and I’ll say something good about you.” Still great advice.

There may be bigger, hotter, fancier or white-outer stadiums in America but when 61,000 Bulldog fans ‘gotta fever for more cowbell’ there’s not a louder arena in all of college football. Welcome to Stark Vegas!

Says HC Lane Kiffen at Ole Miss: “At 100% Austin Simmons is our QB.” Yes, but i betcha at 99.9% Trinidad Chambliss is your QB?

IND 63 ILL 10. Get ready B10. Indiana is the real deal - even more so Curt Cignetti. Kind of reminds me of Steve Spurrier at Florida. As Bum Phillips said about The Bear, “He can take his’n and beat your’n, then turn around and take your’n and beat his’n.”

Dabo Sweeney and Clemson breaking up is ridiculous. Their relationship is like a strong marriage where you get mad and don’t speak to each other for a week or two. As Bobby Bowden once said, “Ann and I have been married 63 wonderful years…and that ain’t bad out of 72.”

There are a lot of ways to skin a cat - AND win a national championship - but being good on only one side of the ball isn’t one of them.

Unfortunately, the only measuring stick Tiger fans have is their last national championship team in 2019 that led the nation with 48.4ppg and 568.4ypg.

Final observation of Brian Kelly’s postgame press conference. After a hard fought 20-10 LSU win over FLA the first question asked was, What’s wrong with the offense? Not a good lead…too early. Kelly blew up!

Correction: Hart Lee Dykes!

Final word on the Gundy - Lanning NIL debate. Both agree he who gives the most money wins. Gundy was the QB when OSU went on probation twice (80’s) for paying players. Star WR Spike Lee Dykes reportedly got 5K and $200/mo. The only thing that’s changed is “the cost of winning.”

Hats off to JMU in their tough loss to Louisville last night, 28-14. The Dukes went toe to toe with ACC top 3-4 UL, but shot themselves in the foot with turnovers and penalties. Without those they could’ve, would’ve, should’ve won the game. Hey ACC…don’t schedule JMU.

My final thought on Colorado’s final drive vs GT. Poor clock management. Down 7 with a minute left - every second is critical so use your timeouts. FYI..only person on the sideline allowed to call a time out is the HC.
