I think the name came from it being played on the Bodie Hinton band field, even though we have since moved it to the football practice field with the premission of the football program. The stories you and Mr. Hinton have are just awesome. I can't imagine the football team and the band having a "showdown" these days. Great stuff. -Nick Mrs. Bivins,

I'm the daughter who held a clarinet during marching season and tried not to blow hard enough to produce a sound Doc could hear. It was a relief to get to concert season and my oboe. When was this "Bowl" named? Hilarious! Makes me want to find my rat cap, or what's left of it after the night the football players (the real ones)snatched it from my head. You trombones could've learned a thing or two about aggression from the band folk who took off after the football players. It was quite a showdown at their dorm! Obviously, I got the hat back....

It's pretty neat that your dad would go and get coffee with Shug Jordan. And by all means tell him about the game! I remember he came up to visit last year during one of our gameday rehearsals and it was amazing to have him there. War eagle! -Nick Mr. Hinton,

Bodie Hinton is my father and he will get a good laugh when I tell him about this item. During the first few years he was band director at AU the practices were held at 1 pm on the field behind the bleachers (this was long before the many stadium expansions. On one side of the field was the athletic building and he often had coffee with coach Shug Jordon in Shug's office, overlooking the field. They would spend much of the time watching the band playing (aggressive) touch football with Shug complaining that he lost seve4ral recruits who decided to play in the band rather than try out for football. I don't think he is aware of the "Bodie Bowl" but do know he will enjoy the news! War eagle! Skip Hinton (Bari sax/wide receiver) Wow, I just ran across this posting and have to comment.
