Bobby Bowden is getting to coach one more game, on a road trip like none he’s ever experienced.
The former Florida State coach will be among a group of football greats traveling to an undisclosed American military installation in the Persian Gulf next month for a flag football game with soldiers. Called the Connect to Home Bowl, it is similar to a trip Bowden’s son Tommy made to Iraq a year ago.
Bobby Bowden tells The Associated Press the invitation is “very exciting … because there couldn’t be a better cause.”
Highlights from the game will be aired during halftime of the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1. The event is sponsored by Tostitos and the USO.
