As if the game could get any bigger

Bo Schembechler, the coach of the Michigan Wolverines from 1969 to 1989, passed away today on the eve of the monumental clash between #2 Michigan and #1 Ohio State in Columbus tomorrow. Earlier this week I had read in ESPN’s Forde Yard Dash about a punk rock band that dressed up like former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and played songs that were largely anti-Michigan. The band’s name: Dead Schembechlers. Kind of a poor name to have on a day like today, but Bo did know about them. They also did the right thing on their website, by putting a message up about the death of Schembechler, right below the flyer for the hate Michigan rally that they are holding tonight. Should be quite a game tomorrow at 3:30 pm, and now Michigan will be playing the game with heavy hearts.

UPDATE-At last check, the Dead Schembechler's website was down and had this message: "Due to an increase in visitor traffic, the Web page you requested is temporarily unavailable. It has exceeded its monthly traffic allottment". You can find the message about Bo at their Myspace page.
