Hundreds paid their respects to the late Bobby Bowden at Samford today. While his name might be synonymous with college football, his impact reaches beyond athletics. We honor his life and legacy, and we extend our condolences to the Bowden family. May he Rest In Peace.
The last few days in Reid Chapel have been extraordinary. While we love to see so many worshiping, Samford University’s campus becomes closed to non-Samford persons at 11 p.m. Thank you for your understanding.
