Bo Schembechler Dies at Age 77
While the nation prepares to watch the big football game this weekend, the game has lost one of its greatest personalities. Bo Schembechler has passed away at age 77, from an apparent heart attack.
During his time at Michigan as the head coach, Schembechler won 194 games. His teams won or shared 13 Big Ten titles and went to play in 10 Rose Bowls.
In a combined 26 years of coaching, both at Miami (Ohio) and Michigan, Schembechler never had a losing season.
As tributes roll across the airwaves today, it seems only appropriate that the most fitting tribute, an Ohio State-Michigan game, is set to play tomorrow. I think it is safe to say that Bo and Woody Hayes will be sitting together in college football heaven tomorrow, watching, and coaching from above.
