After Charles Woodson won the 1997 Heisman Trophy over Tennessee's Peyton Manning, Tennessee fans blamed ESPN and in particular, Fowler, who had emceed the award ceremony and handed the trophy to Woodson.
Fowler received abuse from Tennessee fans (and he described the reaction as "trailer park frenzy" on a radio show), and GameDay avoided shooting on the Tennessee campus for several years that followed.
He was the host of the Seattle Kraken's expansion draft coverage which was the first ESPN hockey event with the NHL since 2004.
During the telecast he would make an regrettable error in calling the Carolina Hurricanes the “Carolina Panthers”.
This led to both teams Twitter accounts switching logos mocking him.
Until 2006, he was also the lead studio host of College Basketball on ESPN.

Fowler grew up in Rockford, Illinois and State College, Pennsylvania where his father, Knox, was a theater professor at Penn State University.
In February 2015, ESPN announced Rece Davis will take over for Fowler as host of GameDay, but that Fowler will continue his play-by-play role on Saturday Night Football on ABC and College Football Playoff games, and as host of the annual Heisman Trophy presentations.
