Another LSU/FSU connection.

Back in the 1980s, FSU played at LSU five years in a row. (Bowden's early years when FSU had to schedule away games to make money.)
Bobby tells the story in one of his books - many years later.
He was called by LSU early in the season. He was told that they were making a coaching change at the end of the season and he was their guy. He asked them to wait until after the LSU game for him to make a decision. He said his thinking was this, "If I lose the game to LSU then I'll take the job. But, if I win the game, then maybe we really can get the job done here and complete at the national level." Noles won, Bobby stayed, and the rest is FSU history.
Sad note: LSU hired Bo Rein from NCSU. He never coached a game. He died in a private plane crash while on a recruiting trip.
