Editorial reviews

In the introduction of Tales of the Florida State Seminoles Sideline, there's an anecdote about Bobby Bowden giving an interview to a reporter after a victory while showering, completely nude.  This nicely sets the tone for the funny, honest, and unfiltered firsthand accounts legendary coach Bowden provides in this collection of Seminole tales.

Wayne Edwards' straightforward yet enthusiastic delivery matches the tone of Bowden's stories perfectly, making for a listen as riveting as one of Bowden's signature locker room speeches.
