Sorry if you all live in a past that you have made better then it was. How many National Titles?? Because that is how I rank legends and greatness.

Sorry if I don't suck at the teet of Bo like so many others who are stuck in the past. Did he win against a weak Big Ten? Yep. However, I want national titles and he had zero, so that excludes him from great or legend in my book.
Much like those who knocked LeBron being best ever before he got a ring
Too many fans here are content with Big Ten Titles. Guess what win a National Title and the Big Ten Title will come.

Ohio State won the 1973 Rose Bowl, was undefeated, and wasn't the national champion. There were two other teams that finished undefeated and untied; ND was voted #1.
Why would it have been different if it had been Michigan instead of OSU?

If 13 Big Ten Championships in 21 years is average, I'll take average every day.
Not to mention going out w/two back to back, outright Big Ten Championships. The last time Michigan did that was in 1988 & 1989.
You're an idiot.
November 17th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
I believe we also did it in 1991 and '92, but your point is taken.
November 17th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
Ah yeah you're right. Still an amazing run 1988-1992 was.
November 17th, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^

Email account he signed up with revealed he's a guy who spends time starting some epically stupid flame wars on Howard Stern message boards. No thanks.
November 17th, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
Why am I not surprised. "Epically stupid" is actually generous to the middle-schooler. Any chance he's actually Ace Williams?
Thanks, Ace. Good move.

It feels like yesterday... I remember coming home from school with a feeling of elation because of the highly anticipated game vs Ohio the next day and then seeing this on tv... I'm pretty sure I broke out in tears not too long after it settled in.

I was at a Run For The Roses rally and pretty excited. He looked at me and said, " If the team plays with that much enthusiasm tomorrow, we'll win, no question."

I too was a freshman that year. That week was so effing epic, it's forever burned in my memory. Campus hit an absolute boiling point that week with excitement for the #1 vs #2 Ohio State game. Unreal

I had breakfast once with Bo, his son Shemy and George Lilja here in Cleveland in the late 90's. The four of us sat a table and Bo told one funny story about George after another and you could tell there the man cared a lot about his ex-captain.
He was unbelievably nice to me (a complete outsider) and I did my best to simply shut up and listen to him talk. It was fantastic.

I still remember where I was when I heard he was gone. I was on I-75 - on the Rouge River Bridge in SW Detroit - when the announcement was made from Providence Hospital in Southfield. I believe he was supposed to film a segment at Channel 7 when he collapsed. It might have been an hour or so after that when it was announced. I had just left a meeting downtown and was going to pass through Taylor - where I had some project work on which I needed to get design notes - and then head back to Belleville. When I finally got off of I-75 at Northline, I pulled over and just sat in the car in silence. It was a very sad moment. I did lay some flowers by the stadium the next day after work.

Why was he in Ann Arbor ? He got his law degree from UofM and was in school at the time. Worst state fan I know.
November 18th, 2013 at 7:53 AM ^
I hope he falls down multiple flights of stairs and suffers severe injuries.
What trash.

Or maybe we just didn't plan for Carr's retirement, made an outside hire that didn't work out, and it had nothing to do with Bo at all.
There doesn't always have to be a grand narrative to everything.
November 17th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
Where we missed him was during the Carr replacement search and the support he would have demanded and the wisdom he would have passed to Carr's successor.....But, that is what it was and those days are gone.

After the game one of my buddies made a B-line for the MDen. My other friend and I decided to hit up a liquor store and then wait for the bus back to the hotel.
As were strolling through the parking lot (about 40 min or so after game) I see a golf cart coming our way. It stops and I realize it's Gary Moeller, Bo Schembeckler
With their respective wives. As Bo was getting to the door of his SUV I said hello and that it was my first trip to Michigan and a life long fan. I asked for a picture but his wife said he wasn't feeling very good, so he instead gave me an autograph and a handshake. Coach Moeller did grant me a picture as well as signing my hat before they got into their vehicles and headed out.
I remember feeling so awesome about that experience. The day he passed I was shocked and thought for sure our boys would rock the buckeyes world. Fuck you Crable, Fuck you.
Bo was the man whether he was a day old or a minute from death the guy did it the way he wanted to. I admire him greatly and am thankful to have met and spoke with him if inly for a minute.
RIP BO
