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.

That boy don't know the meaning of the word fear. In fact, I just saw his grades, and that boy don't know the meaning of a lot of words.

After you retire, there's only one big event left....and I ain't ready for that.

Discipline to me is sacrifice; it's willingness to give up something you want to do, so you can better yourself.

Sportsmanship to me is going out and playing as hard as you can within the rules.

A better ending could not have been scripted. Of course, if we had won, that would have been better.
