Naw...
I just find the media frenzy strange.
They will hype up the Michigan Ohio game up even more now. How the Wolverines will win one for Bo. Meanwhile most of the players on the team were infants when Bo roamed the sidelines. So to them Bo Shembeckler isn't anyone important.
The college/univeristy rooting is one of the biggest cultural differences between Canada & the USA. No one I know roots for/supoports Canadian college sports. You do your time at the school and graduate. The link/affinty to your old school doesn't exist over here, so I watch the frenzy with an outsiders eye.
As for the "I didn't lose schitt" quote. That's just a gem from another longtime forumer that I couldn't help but share, I knew it would rile some of you up, and others would remember our friends use. |

Wow, what a big event just before college football's biggest rivalry 'Game of the Century' [This one and the Last One!]. Will this give Michigan the extra "Win it for the Bo" incentive or will it shake them?
Since most of these players were tots when Bo last coached, I'm not sure there will be that much impact, but Bo's passing will certainly trump the already huge hype around the contest.
RIP Bo! and GO BLUE! |

This is a sad, sad day. Bo has been the face of the University of Michigan for decades. He was a tough man and a helluva leader with a heart of gold and an engaging personality. Millions of people are mourning him right now, and that says a lot about Bo Schembechler. A great, great man.
As far as the players not being impacted, you couldn't possibly be anymore wrong. Bo still has an office at Schembechler Hall and regularly attended practice. He has remained a very visible and powerful presence at the University, and everybody knew him. Nothing is more important at Michigan than tradition, and Bo embodied Michigan's winning tradition. He brought it back to life and made it what it is today. I can't imagine a Michigan player not having met Bo, let alone not knowing him and what he means to the University and its football program. This might prove to be his last great act of motivation.

AIW-- Because he led UM to 13 Big 10 championships. Because in his total 27-year career (including time at Miami University), he never had a losing season. Because at the time he retired, he was the winningest coach in Division I football history. And all of that takes a hell of a lot of work and talent.
I've never been a UM fan, but I respect Bo's achievements and he was definitely a legend. |

The reason that Canadians don't root for college sports is because all of their athletes come to the states as Canada schools don't offer scholarships for athletics. Therefore, they have nothing to cheer for up there in the cold north. |

Do this thread a favor and stop posting please.
If you were any sort of Detroit buff you'd know that the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, located within Cobo, has a spot for Bo, hence yes, he is a legend.
His overall coaching record is something close to 240 wins and 65 losses. Lets see you coach a Grey Cup team like that.
A man dies and you insult him, what the hell is the matter with you? |

Graduated from UM in '85. Went to many games. Love Meeechigan football. Let's rename Michigan Stadium to "Schembechler Field at Michigan Stadium". Keeps the "Michigan Stadium" name for the purist, but honors a legend. Bo will live on! |

No matter whether you liked Bo or disliked Bo, he was a legend. And the fact that today's players were tots when he coached is insignificant. They all know who Bo Schembechler is. And he's been an on-the-field presence since he left U of M...He's at a lot of practices and has talked to numerous teams, including this years. |

It is remarkable that he died on the eve of one of the biggest Michigan-Ohio State games of all time, given all of his history with the Schembechler/Woody Hayes rivalry.
I'm not a U-M football historian, but has there ever been a Michigan-Ohio State game in the past where the two teams were rated #1 and #2 in the country? |

Like I told my brother,I can picture him sitting on a cloud with Woody Hayes trying to outcoach each other with Bob Ufer calling the big game tomorrow. By the way, the coach from "the state down there" is also a legend we need to mention now, in this time of reminiscing. |

DougW, no its never happened. This is, however, the third time they've met unbeaten and untied. Both times actually came during the ten year war. Ohio State won the one, and the other came as #4 Michigan tied #1 Ohio State. Back then the athletic directors for the conference put it to a vote, and Ohio State was picked to go to the Rose Bowl, and Michigan stayed home for the holidays. It was something Bo probably never forgave the AD's for. |

I met this good man just one time, and that was in the late 80's when I happened to be in AA for a pretrial conference, finished early and went over to Schembechler Hall and there he was. The man himself! I purposely had brought my 1960 Michigan-Ohio State football program with me which I had saved all these years, and Bo was kind enough to sign it on the front cover.
In fact he was really fascinated in seeing this old program as on page 8 is a picture of him when he was then the tackles' coach for OSU under Woody Hayes, then he went to page 14 and looked at a picture of Gary Moeller who was then an OSU guard ( and I believe was elected Captain of the Buckeyes that year) and who went on to be head football coach at Michigan. Then we looked at page 34 and there was Michigan end, Bill Freehan who went on to be a catcher for the Tigers. He could recall different stories about many of the former OSU players, and this was some 25 years or so after they had graduated. Quite nostalgic and yet quite a unique experience for me. I really enjoyed that day and meeting this man.
Yes,No doubt about it. Bo is a legend. |

Here is the official email sent out to everyone at U of M regarding Bo's death:
A part of the University of Michigan died today with the untimely passing of Bo Schembechler.
Few people exceed their reputations. Bo was the exception. He was forever dedicated to Michigan, to our students, our alumni and our fans.
His contributions on the athletic field are legendary. Yet Bo's impact at Michigan goes well beyond the hash marks of Michigan Stadium, and we should always remember the depth of his contributions to a university he loved.
Bo was a teacher and a mentor. He was a benefactor who believed in the promise of cancer research at Michigan. And as he showed us just this semester, he was a student eager to learn. He loved the life and vitality of a university, and he contributed mightily to the culture and traditions of the University of Michigan.
Bo believed learning and excellence went hand-in-hand. He helped to shape the lives of generations of U-M students, and that is a timeless tribute to the dedication he showed our university.
"Leadership" is part of the Michigan lexicon. Bo helped to make this so, both on and off the field.
Never again will we know the likes of Bo Schembechler. And while we are saddened and stunned by his death, we are also filled with the gratitude that comes with warm memories. As individuals and as a university community, we enjoyed the privilege of knowing Bo and benefiting from his irrepressible personality and loyalty. He made Michigan a better university.

the west side of Michigan stadium was full today during the lively (yes, lively) three hour memorial. It was great to see at least 20,000 there in the cold, including probably a thousand former players and football friends of Bo. There were several great speakers, including Dan Dierdorf, who also spoke at the Diag vigil Friday night. Jamie Morris gave some great reflections, among others, and Lloyd Carr himself had heartfelt remarks. According to Lloyd, Bo will be cheering for Notre Dame for the first time this Saturday. |
