I just got back from my July 4th vacation, and in checking my email I see this comment left on this site from one of the Bodie Bowl posts:

“Wow, I just ran across this posting and have to comment. 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 (sic) 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!

How cool is that?
