As 82,000 fans sing a frightening war chant, Chief Osceola gallops boldly aboard Renegade, a muscular Appaloosa horse, to the fifty yard line and flings his spear at its center. There is no greater spectacle to begin a football contest and no better symbol than an unconquered Seminole warrior. Unconquered is virtually the condition of Florida State football with the Seminoles possessing two national football championships, and 11 ACC championships, as well. Coach Bobby Bowden built this tradition of winning and has the best win record in college football history. His 1999 national championship team is the first to go through a season from start to finish as the AP no. 1. Many of the greatest players ever to wear the Garnet and Gold come together with Bobby Bowden to share their memories in What it Means to be a Seminole. Here is but a sampling of the storied players who contribute their dreams, thoughts and memories from that most memorable of times; the time they were a Seminole: Fred Biletnikoff, Burt Reynolds, Lee Corso, Gary Huff, Deion Sanders, Leroy Butler, Derrick Brooks, Warrick Dunn, Peter Boulware, and...many more.
