Katharine Anne Hnida, better known as Katie Hnida (born May 17, 1981), on August 30, 2003, became the first woman to score in a NCAA Division I football game. As a placekicker for the University of New Mexico she scored two extra points against Texas State University in the fourth quarter of a 72-8 New Mexico win.
She attended Chatfield High School near Littleton, where she was a member of the football team. She was 3 for 3 in field goal attempts, and 27 for 28 in extra point attempts in her senior year. She was a member of the varsity team and named one of America's "20 most influential teens" by Teen People Magazine. Rick Reilly wrote a Life of Reilly column about her.
She joined her first college team when she entered the University of Colorado as a walk-on freshman placekicker. She never saw playing time there, however and did not try out for Colorado in 2000 after head coach Gary Barnett released her saying that she would have to compete against other kickers for the job. She eventually transferred to the University of New Mexico, where she made the football team as a walk-on. When she left Colorado she claimed that she was the target of sexual harassment, but did not mention rape. While at New Mexico she played in the Las Vegas Bowl against UCLA, when her extra point attempt was blocked. She graduated in December 2005 and is no longer playing football.
Hnida made more news in February 2004 when she joined a group of women that accused her former Colorado teammates of rape, telling Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly that she had been sexually molested and abused by some of her teammates, and raped by one of them. She never pressed any charges and the Boulder district attorney's office decided not to file any charges against any players based on any of the allegations. Later that year, Gary Barnett, then head coach at Colorado, stated "[w]e have not done anything wrong, there isn’t a shred of evidence to this date to back up any allegations that have been made, and there won't be.â€

Applewhite (despite his puke orange background)
Having lived in Georgia and Florida, among other places, I have very vivid memories of watching Terry Bowden coach. He was one of the (if not the best) game day play callers ever. He was so young when he started coaching (probably in diapers really) and the fact that he's been out for 8 years or whatever probably has only increased his knowledge of many different types of systems.
All of that "baggage" that people like to talk about is nothing but ridiculous rumors turned into urban myths by the internet. Yeah - he quit in the middle of the season. But what other coach could win the SEC West the year before, and be told just a few months later that he was going to be fired no matter what he did. That situation at Auburn is just nasty -- that idiot booster tried to get rid of Tubberville for Petrino. What did Tubby do? Just go 13-0 the next season.
Look at Bowden's record. He recruited Jimbo Fischer as his quarterback at that little school in west virginia (can't remember the name right now) - and Jimbo ended up following him all the way to Auburn to be his QB coach. Pat Nix was his QB at Auburn (yes, recruited by Dye) but he played for Bowden and is now the OC at Miami.
I may be biased toward the SEC and the ACC from the places that I have lived (I am actually an Indiana native - don't get me started on the ND situation), but Bowden is an exciting offensive coach with a great personality that would really bring a lot of national interest and local excitement to the program. He also has a Law Degree - so the guy is just plain smart too.
I hope they contact him. I hope they interview several candidates. I hope the selection process is an actual objective process - and not some kind of formality designed to hire some predetermined guy that a couple of people are buddies with. That seems to happen all too frequently in football.
