I know it's crass, but .. as if Michigan needed MORE motivation!

 

Damn. As if this game was not BIG enough. I can't believe this. I just cannot believe this. Heavy hearts tomorrow for the maize and blue.

 

Ironic... a big loss for Ohio Football tradition, as well.

Miami U
has two former coaches die within a year

 

Um, the bookies just crapped themselves.

On a more respectful note, if you are a college football fan, whether you love, hate or are somewhere in between on Michigan, you have to respect what a huge contribution Bo and his Michigan teams were to the fabric of College Football.

R.I.P.

 

I can see it now... after Bo's father and mother, there will be Woody... shaking his fist:

"You sunnuva ... you did it again!"

 

As a native Michiganian, I always look for ward to the Michigan-Ohio State game and Bo was a big part of that. It's sad he didn't live to see tomorrow's game.

 

He was a legendary coach of a legendary program, he will be remembered in the annals of Michigan and college football as a whole. My condolences to his family and friends.

 

I don't follow either of the two programs, but I'm sure the loss is a massive one. R.I.P. Bo.

 

As a Michigan Alum, I'll offer my very first post on FUSA. Bo is a legend and a hero here in Ann Arbor. The Coach Emeritus of Michigan Football! I shed a tear for him today with everyone else in town and I can tell you he will be missed. For his protege Lloyd Carr (current michigan coach) this is a huge lose.

Now go out and win one for Bo, a true Michigan Man. Go Blue

 

Welcome jcop... but like I said, woody is right now dressing him down for this dirty trick!

Or laffin with him.

 

Some are convinced this is all part of a master plan. They had Bo on ice for 6 months, a la "Weekend at Bernie's", and only now anounce his death before the BIG GAME.

 

If things go according to plan for Maryland over the next couple of weeks, they might find themselves in a BCS game. The Terrapins have turned around their program in the last five or six years. You would think Frank Reich is quarterbacking them but he is not.
