Um actually yes, he did go to Alabama his freshman year and played quarterback...he finished at Howard and he is from Birmingham. Don't argue with me about football, you won't win.
Bowden was an outstanding football player at Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Ala., and went on to Alabama as a freshman quarterback, fulfilling a lifelong dream to play for the Crimson Tide. He lasted one semester in Tuscaloosa before high school sweetheart Ann Estock lured him back to Birmingham. They soon married and Bobby transferred to Howard College (now Samford University) in Birmingham. The two celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the same year (1999) that FSU won it’s second national championship and Bowden coached his only undefeated team, which was the first team ever to go wire-to-wire as the AP No. 1.
