Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden is now 90 years old, so he and his wife are taking the state’s stay-at-home order seriously amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, recently, Bowden spent 4 days in the hospital after an infection caused his left calf to swell.
But, according to Tallahassee.com, Bowden is back at home now and is back to cracking jokes:
The 90-year-old Bowden hasn’t lost his sense of humor despite recent health challenges that include a bothersome left hip and back.
“I didn’t realize when I got to be 90 it would be this tough,” Bowden said and laughed.
“Getting old ain’t easy.”
As for the 2020 college football season, Bowden said he hopes to see players back on the gridiron as soon as possible:
“I sure hope we get it back,” Bowden said.
“We have never seen anything like this in our lifetimes. Every state is different. We just have to continue to isolate ourselves and give each other space.”
Hopefully, Bowden continues to recover and hopefully he gets his wish of watching college football this fall.
