Bo Dies

Horrible news.

Bo Schembechler, the winningest coach in Michigan football history, died Friday after collapsing during the taping of a television show, according to three Detroit TV stations. He was 77.

Schembechler’s death was reported by WXYZ, WDIV and WJBK, which did not cite sources. He died a day before the second-ranked Wolverines were scheduled to meet No. 1 Ohio State in the latest installment of the century-old rivalry.


It's shocking that it happened right before this big game.

I got to Michigan the year after Bo retired. But he still left his mark on the program and on the university. This is a shame. He lived for things like tomorrow.
