Bobby Bowden funeral: FSU great Warrick Dunn shares stories of playing for Bowden

[@derrickpatterson8534]

Warrick Dunn was, and still is, one of my favourite football players ever - college and pro.I admired him as a kid. He’s just as great of a human being as he was a player. #28 forever

[@pepsiguy52883]

As a Hurricanes fan Bobby made this rivalry special. He was such a great man. Rip Bobby you will be missed sir

[@305dave]

Born and Raised a Miami Hurricanes fan....Always "hated" Florida but always respected FSU and Bobby Bowden was one of if not the main reasons why. His players always came ready to play with an edge but carried the humility of their head coach. An amazing man and coach. Rest in Peace 🙏🏾

[@markbarnes3025]

At the end of a man's life if the only thing you can say about him was that he was a good man, you have said all that needs to said about him. Rest In Peace Mr.Bowden.

Very well said Warrick......maybe it's not the proper time to mention it but.......That was an incredible catch and run for the winning Touchdown against Florida back in 1993. All of that SEC speed in those blue jerseys just couldn't catch you.

Best quote ever IVE BEEN BROKE ALL MY LIFE WHATS ONE MORE YEAR that’s says all you need to know

[@vccstudents]

Bobby Bowden was a class act, and even Gator and Hurricane fans I know have prayed for the Bowden family. I've known rabid Gator and Hurricane fans who've set aside differences, which has been very nice to see, and I'd say the same thing if this, Heaven forbid, had been Steve Spurrier who passed. Bobby Bowden is THE reason there's am FSU/UF rivalry. He created the rivalry while Spurrier intensified it. RIP, Coach Bowden.

[@Biggdoom344]

Great speech. The difference between FSU and Miami is now clear. At Miami it was about football…win now. At FSU it was about life. Being a difference in the world. I always saw Bowden as a great recruiter, great guy to play for. Maybe not the strongest x and o guy…but that’s ok.
