Earnie Seiler, an energetic showman dubbed "the Mad Genius" and father of the Orange Bowl Classic, has died at age 86. Services will be today for Seiler, who slipped into a coma last week and died at his home late Tuesday. As the City of Miami's recreation director, Seiler organized the 1933 Palm Festival, inviting Manhattan College to play the University of Miami at a public park. Intending to match California's Rose Bowl, Seiler from that humble beginning fashioned the Orange Bowl Festival. He had parades with floats, elephants, race horses and beauty queens, and dazzling halftime shows in the city's new Orange Bowl Stadium. The turning point was a 1939 match between unbeaten teams from Oklahoma and Tennessee that established the Orange Bowl as one of the nation's major annual games. A former Oklahoma A&M quarterback, Seiler stepped down as OBC executive director in 1974
