Bo Schembechler dead

Bo Schembechler has died today at age 77 in Detroit.

I am shocked to find just how sad I am over this. After all, I never met the guy. Instead I realize what it meant for me to sit with my Dad on Saturdays when I was a kid and watch Bo prowl the sidelines or listening to the game on the radio while we were cutting and stacking wood in my backyard. We were cheering on U of M and listening to my Dad tell me about the crazy crap he saw while attending Michigan of his Masters degree in 68 and 69.

Bo and Woody Hayes raised college football to a whole new level and started the greatest rivalry in the college game today. My thoughts are certainly with him and his family. Now I think I'll give my dad a call.

Growing up I never knew michigan football without Bo. It was a sad day for UofM Football and college football in general.


Side note: nice blog.... nice to see someone from the area blogging :)
