I am not happy with moral victories. Those things are forgotten.

When I go after something, I go after it hard. It has always been that way. I don't know. It's in my blood.

I was always going to church with my mom, dad and sister. I was literally raised under the godly influence both at home and church. There was no alcohol and no smoking at our house. That was the way a Bowden was supposed to live. My dad always told me to represent the Bowden name in a respectful manner.

If short hair and good manners won football games, Army and Navy would play for the national championship every year.

Don't go to the grave with life unused.

I suppose I'm like most coaches now, standing on the sideline hoping somebody asks them a question.

Integrity makes my job easier. It's deception and dishonesty that requires so much diligent effort.
