Bowden was a rising name in coaching circles, after successful stints in position coaching roles across the South (including, briefly, at Florida State, where he coached wide receivers) and, most recently, as the offensive coordinator at West Virginia.

This "Fear the Spear" tee celebrates that combined history, and the impact Bobby Bowden and the spear iconography have on college football.
