FSU's future schedule hints at Bowden retirement?

From the "hmmm, that's damn curious" department, Florida State has scheduled a 2010 game against Samford.

Samford... not Stanford. Samford... as in Homewood, Alabama. Samford.

Sullivan, speaking at the Samford Business Network Birmingham Meeting and Breakfast at the Harbert Center, told the sold-out audience that agreements have been reached to play at Florida State in 2010 and Auburn in 2011.

OK. So FSU (and Auburn) have scheduled a cupcake in 2010. That's not exactly news, though, right?

But FSU's 2010 game against Samford has several interesting angles:

- FSU coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher played college football for... Samford.

- FSU coach Bobby Bowden began his legendary coaching career as head coach of... Samford.

- Fisher began his coaching career as an at assistant coach at... Samford.

- And the last year before Fisher is contractually bound to take over for Bowden? 2010

This could all be an incredible coincidence, but... cmon. There are plenty of cupcakes on the list for FSU to schedule before you get down to... Samford.

Could this nostalgic game signal the Bobby Bowden's retirement? Only time will tell.
