    Quotable Quotes

    Paterno said he has tried over the years to get Bowden to bring his FSU team to College Park, Pa. for a game.

    "I could never get Bobby up (here)," Paterno said. "He said, Let's play at a neutral site.'"

    "I said, 'Where?' And he said, 'Jacksonville.' ”

    When Big Ten champion Penn State (10-1) and Atlantic Coast Conference champ Florida State (8-4) face off in the Orange Bowl, Paterno will be 79. Bowden will be 76.

    "I hope it doesn't come down to where it's Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno because he can't run and I run slower," Paterno said.

    "Note to boosters: Drop the sworn complaint and back away slowly. Bobby Bowden is running this show, and he's not done yet. In fact, he's in a fighting mood and you'd have better luck dislodging his eight-foot-tall bronzed statue than you would Jeff Bowden at the moment." Doug Carlson, Tampa Tribune
