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.
I had the absolute honor and Privilege of working under 5his great coach for two seasons. I will be forever grateful and my memories are forever special.
I had several opportunities to talk with Bo and always came away ready to put on the pads..great man, Great communicator, great family man..one of a kind
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.
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.
A class act. It was always about his student athletes. He got the most out of everyone. They say Bo never lost a game. Sometimes he just ran out of time
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.
God bless this Great Meeechegan Man. I can see them now, legends from days gone by like Bo Schembechler, Knute Rockne, Ara Parseghian, LaVelle Edwards, Bear Bryant, and yes Woody Hayes among others, coaches from days gone by up there as the coaching staff of Heavens team. Goblue!
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
Bo Schembechler - hated him while he coached at that team up north. Cried when he died the day before the biggest game of the rivalry. He is a true champion....but Meechigan still sucks! Thank you for sharing!
@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.
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.
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!
@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. Fight on! And keep paying your players!
I can speak for a lot of us in the football world, if I wasn't a buckeye, I would be a Wolverine.You can lie and whine and blah blah blah some lip service, but there are an awful lot of Wolverines that would be Buckeyes, if it worked out a little different. Great story, Chris Spielman has 70some tackles against the Blue in his 4 years. If the die rolled a little different, he would have been a michigan man.
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.
too bad it didn't show him celebrating Anthony carter's td run against Indiana..or him being carried on his shoulders after he beat o st in '69..otherwise, a nice tribute..

"A Michigan man will coach Michigan" The greatest quote ever
This Michigan Man walks with Kings now..... i miss him
You redefined the game …you gave the light to Michigan football …it won’t ever go out !!!! Thank you coach !!! You are a man among men!!! Go Blue!!!
You lucky SOB!

Some wonderful memories here!
It's from a CD the Michigan Marching Band released in 1997.
BO and Woody and Woody and Bo never, never disrespected each other
God bless this Great Meeechegan Man. I can see them now, legends from days gone by like Bo Schembechler, Knute Rockne, Ara Parseghian, LaVelle Edwards, Bear Bryant, and yes Woody Hayes among others, coaches from days gone by up there as the coaching staff of Heavens team. Goblue!

Bo will always be the greatest Big X coach ever...GO BLUE!
Bo was my hero. That man was Michigan.
Go Blue!
R.I.P. Bo Schembechler
You'll never be forgotten Bo. Go Blue!!!!
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

I was only a little kid when Bo was coach, but he's funny. He tells it like it is, lol. That's what I'd remember about Bo. LOL!
I see a lot of Bo in Brady Hoke. A lot of tradition, class, and discipline. Can't wait to see what these next few years have in store for Michigan.
Some things as you know now don't always end up the way you thought they would.
Tremendous Meeechigan Man!!!
Bo and Woody was the shit great ten years it was what it was all about R.I.P.

The 2 outtakes are from the video "The Schembechler Years." I bought it from the M-Den several years ago.
I miss you Bo, please help us climb out of this current debacle-Go Blue, always.
I am a Buckeye and so was Bo I love that guy and wish to God we could have the rivalry we used to
Ohio state football fans got nick Saban/Alabama 4/1 : Alabama edges 4/1
Join us Sunday night at noon, for michigan replay........Classic!
Bo + U of Michigan Football + The Victors fight song = A MAIZE ING
I sincerely hope Michigan finds another Bo but even though that is impossible! I want the rivalry back
And after Bo had that press conference for Steve Fisher, Michigan won the National Championship(:

GO BLUE!
Great man from Boardman Ohio.
Hail to the victors valient!

Fight on! And keep paying your players!
RIP coach.
Bo Schembechler, the greatest coach in college football history next to Bear Bryant.
1:06 - People forget, or maybe don't know, that Texas A&M offered Bo a ton of money to head to College Station.
Everything went downhill when he died. I miss Bo.
Go Blue!
This what we need to get back to. If brady can't full fill that obligation hes gotta go!
I can speak for a lot of us in the football world, if I wasn't a buckeye, I would be a Wolverine.You can lie and whine and blah blah blah some lip service, but there are an awful lot of Wolverines that would be Buckeyes, if it worked out a little different.

no doubt about that.
we are tradition we are michigan go blue now give a winged helmet and let me play coach Jim
He wasn't so good in the bowls, though he did win 2 nice Rose Bowls. We may not be the best now, but we are consistant winners GO BLUE!
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.

Huh?
@Tidefan986 *the best
