| R.I.P. Bo |
If anything can fire up the U of M football team tomorrow, it must be the death of beloved former coach Bo Schembechler. In an odd twist, a Columbus punk band called the Dead Schembechlers was scheduled to headline an anti-Michigan rally tonight, playing songs such as "Bomb Ann Arbor Now," "I Don't Wanna Be A Wolverine," "Schembechler Kicked My Crippled Dog," "I Wipe My Ass with Wolverine Fur," and "Bo For 24," described as "a mocking reference to Schembechler's failing to win a national championship in his 24 years at Michigan." Apparently Bo himself was flattered by the group's existence, telling a reporter "I still matter in Columbus!"
In the days before his death, Schembechler was still being quoted by the press, expounding about a search by bomb-sniffing dogs that the Michigan team underwent before their '04 game in Columbus, and his admiration for Ohio quarterback Troy Smith. The legendary coach had planned to watch tomorrow's game on a newly purchased plasma TV.
(By the way, the Dead Schembechlers' northern counterparts are the Dropkick Woodys, whose single is called "I Spit On Woody's Grave.") |
