Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
RIP to one of the GREATEST people

Only ever met him once, but what an amazing memory. Was at the old sports offices when Doak was still the erector set and he invited me and my brother in law into his office and treated us like family. Asked so many questions about us, where we were from, etc. gave us some signed photos. His demeanor, personality and presence reminded me of my Dad. RIP Bobby.
Great man and great coach. His late 1980 early 1990 teams were so much fun to watch.

I will say this. Nic Saban has won more championships, but Bobby Bowden touched way more lives. We all know what matters more on the other side.
