Great stuff - Bo, the Great Man. Neighbors of Bo's used to talk about Bo coming across the lawn just to chat. Lots of stories - all good ones because he was truly a good man. Good for his players, good for Michigan, good for Ann Arbor. We really miss you, Bo.
@greymoose1000 Yes, because beating a team by 3, by 7 by 8 and by 7 is "beating the shit out of them." Especially when you factor in a phantom TD by Charles White (fumble the ball away at the 2, TD USC!) or a phantom holding call on Chris Stapleton in his final game.
USC was the same then as what they became under Pete Carroll. They just never got caught.
I love that passion that could only come from a person from Ohio Love Bo Schembechler how he could have been so misguided I can only understand by reading his book LOVE THE GUY even though I am a Buckeye through and through
My favorite Bo moment was when he appointed Steve Fisher to coach the basketball team during the NCAA tournament and said "A Michigan Man will coach Michigan, not an Arizona State man." Fisher led the Wolverines to the title.
@dfwgator3 I remember that. I had moved to New Mexico from Michigan. I was playing basketball and had to explain to my friends why he'd do that just before the tournament.
The second incident I distinctly remember having to explain Bo's actions, is when they fired Gary Moeller, his hand picked successor, when Gary had the drunken disturbance incident while recruiting. I again was explaining to friends, why they fired him, even told them he was done, before it happened.
As I sit here wiping the tears from my eyes after watching this video, there are no words I can type to describe what this man meant and continues to mean to both myself and the University of Michigan! GO BLUE!!!
A flood of memories while watching this video. One of the greatest football coaches in history and a true leader of men. Where is the Bo that Michigan so desperately needs?
Also who is the douchebag moron that gave this video a thumbs down? I don't care if that idiot is a Buckeye or Sparty, any true football fan would respect the man that Bo was, just like Wolverines give their respect to Woody and Duffy.
Anyway, great job WolvHistorian. Some very fine editing!
The Victors, winged helmets, maize and blue, Chrysler, Yost, Schembechler, Carr, Ufer, the winningest college football program of all time, have your fun now Ohio State. Michigan football will be back soon. You can bet your cottin' pickin' Maize and Blue hearts on that.
I am a Southerner, but my dad used to work up there and brought me back Michigan hats and and a Michigan jersey. I was a big fan of Bo. I miss that Michigan.
Being a fan of college football I was always in awe at how loyal and how much Bo was Michigan....every day it makes me appreciate my coach, Joe Paterno, men like Bo, Joe, Coach Bowden, Woody are a extinct breed.
yeah i felt the same but right now my focus is decidng should i root for the big ten during the bowl games or root for texas to kill ohio state...i don't know but you can get worse you could go winless
There are two coaches that come to everyone's minds when they think of the history of Big Ten football, one coached at a school that shall remain unsaid for respect to michigan fans, and the other one is Bo.
BO LAST WORDS i will never forget the cold gray morning that fall. Driving up to my son's elementary school, listening to WTKA live Bo interview, about the next day's game with OSU. We hung on every word and I thought Bo sounded weak then the guy asked how Bo would feel for the game, Bo said "don't worry about me" and I felt chills. Then as we drove up the bell rang and sounds of life took over, as kids rushed into the school. Minutes later Bo left WTKA for Ch 7 interview and died at studio.
mr historin i rember where i was excatly do the minnute when i herd the news about BO i was at work walking in the hallway and then one of my coworkers told me and it was really really sad
You'll never be forgotten Bo. Go Blue!!!!
