Wow, the day before the OSU/Mich game, 1v2.
How sad, he was such a part of the history of Mich and this weekends matchup. :(

Oh wow.....what timing. When I was growing up, I think Schembechler was the only out of state college coach whose name I knew. (Grew up in Ohio.)

Now, now....he may have wanted to go out on a happy note - rather then see his beloved team lose the big one. :D :P :D

Not only an outstanding coach, but an interesting personality from the era goneby wherein he told you what he thought about something, not a canned politically correct answer that the coaches of today give (i.e. Lloyd Carr!!)

wow, what a shock. Classy guy that I met one afternoon in South Bend where I lived. They were playing ND and we bumped into one another. Neither of us knew each other until later when I found out who he was through a friend who was like, "WOW@!! do you now who that was?", I said no but he was a nice guy.....

thats my story :wink:

The timing is unbelievable. This game so often winds up with an upset, and you would think this would really inspire Michigan.

Sail on, Bo.........

Sail on Bo...

Now you and Woody can re-enact all the old games head to head with the greats who passed before.

Going to be an amazing game today & you'll have the best seat in the house looking down cheering on the maize and blue!
