What game was college gameday at???

[WolverineHistorian]

Our opener against Washington. The Phil Brabbs game.

i'd like to see complete footage of that Woody outburst from 1971, if you could find it that is.

I think I might have found someone who can sell me a copy of the 71 OSU game. I'm going to be looking into that in the coming weeks.

Met Bo and his wife outside Schembechler Hall just as he was leaving for home 3 days prior to the Wisconsin game 2006. He had the patience to sign my Michigan Football Memories DVD, and pose for 3 photos...Cathy took them.

2 months later he died.

This was a great man, a great soul.

Bo gave his whole heart to Michigan football,

and that's all anyone can ask.

And that's what I told him on the day I met him on the steps of Schembechler Hall.

Never forget it.

Go, BLUE!!

It was my dream to meet him some day and it never happened. I'm glad you got to experience it, though.

@WolverineHistorian

I met him at the 2005 Michigan-Ohio State game. My sons who were 8 and 7 at the time didn't even know who he was, but he shook with us and said to my kids, "Hello, son. Go Blue." Even as a grown man, I felt like a kid in a candy store. That was exactly one year to the day before he died.

Die hard Buckeye here.

Bo will be the only Michigan Man I respect.

@IsoscelesKramer71 Thats why I loved Bo. If you listen to his The Team speech, you will understand that Bo always thought there is noone bigger then team or the program, even him.

[BarbarosDerby132]

Even through the tough times, there is no team I love more than Big Blue! Everyone goes through their struggles, and we all experience hardship. Bo had a saying that "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." To all the fans that love Michigan, just stay the course and realize that Michigan will resume its winning ways once again. Just stay the course, be loyal and be patient. GO BLUE!

What do you think should happen? Im not saying that UofM wont get better but i do not think that RR will accomplish anything close to what BO or Moller of Lloyd did. Who won your um wash game by the way were you there and how many game have you actualy gone to. were you at the osu game or were you watching it on tv like all the other fair weather fans.

Roosenberg is a joke. It wouldn't suprise me if he just made that up.
