Bo: "I'm Bo Schembechler and one time I coached in this stadium" Talk about the understatement of the century

"On January 15, 1982, Texas A&M offered Schembechler nearly $3 million for 10 years-the richest contract in the history of college athletics-to become the school's football coach and athletic director. Schembechler turned it down. "Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that there are things more important in this world than money," Schembechler said. "For that reason, I've decided to stay at Michigan."

Met Bo and his wife outside Schembechler Hall just as he was leaving for home 3 days prior to the Wisconsin game 2006. He had the patience to sign my Michigan Football Memories DVD, and pose for 3 photos...Cathy took them. 2 months later he died. This was a great man, a great soul. Bo gave his whole heart to Michigan football, and that's all anyone can ask. And that's what I told him on the day I met him on the steps of Schembechler Hall. Never forget it. Go, BLUE!!

Love it! Thanks for sharing that - we love you Bo.

i met bo at a practice in 1982 i sat next to john wangler during the practice game and afterwards i was down on the field and bo looks at me and waves me over tells me nice hat ( i was wearing the same hat he did )and i asked him for his autograph he signed it for me and i still have it to this day ! GO BLUE !!!!!!!!!

“And I run like hell cause I don’t wanna get run over”😂😂

I could listen to him talk forever...

I watched Bo's teams all through his career...when I met Tyler Ecker, tight end, at the 2007 Rosebowl Beef Bowl party, I told him that I was watching Bo before he was born! Never had been to Ann Arbor--even though born in Flint--in my entire life until 2006, when I met Mike Hart, Steve Breaston, and Bo within 30 minutes of one another, just prior to the Wiconsin game. Never forget it. Round trip from California? $750..and gas. Meeting Bo Schembechler? PRICELESS...

brings a smile to my face.

Bo was awesome. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 4ever Go Blue!

great vid...as a michigan fan since 64 and a michigan man I thank you

Thanks for the uploads. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. GO BLUE!

"Bo" is the tough guy father, that I only met a few times. He was something else,....

RIP Bo, we miss you!!!!!

God bless you Bo.

It was my dream to meet him some day and it never happened. I'm glad you got to experience it, though.

Miss you Coach. Go Blue

I'm glad you enjoy them.

God bless Bo.

even tho im a buckeye i have to admit these are some good videos

R.I.P. Bo Schembechler.

Well said!

I think I might have found someone who can sell me a copy of the 71 OSU game. I'm going to be looking into that in the coming weeks.

Die hard Buckeye here. Bo will be the only Michigan Man I respect.

Give a life to those who have died!!!! The Scar of Seven, and "The Sign of the Southern Cross", Presbetian College, old man!!!

RIP BO

@IsoscelesKramer71 Thats why I loved Bo. If you listen to his The Team speech, you will understand that Bo always thought there is noone bigger then team or the program, even him.

I remember that game, it was very HOT and Muggy! We had a nasty storm that night at my house! We need to get back to scheduling tougher non conference opponents!

Our opener against Washington. The Phil Brabbs game.

We are going to nominate "Bo" for the National "Father of the year"... going back in time Sallie!!

that's funny, cause according to Mike Rosenberg's book on the ten year war, that was the only game during the war that wasn't televised nationally, or at least that's what he said.

This is something that Hallie Jackson, and my own mother, need to understand about my Germanic bloodline!!!

i'd like to see complete footage of that Woody outburst from 1971, if you could find it that is.

What did they do with the old scoreboards and press box?

What do the ones from yesteryear look like? DO you have a picture?

What do you mean yesteryear sir? Do you have a picture of them,? I am young I am only 24!

What do you think should happen? Im not saying that UofM wont get better but i do not think that RR will accomplish anything close to what BO or Moller of Lloyd did. Who won your um wash game by the way were you there and how many game have you actualy gone to. were you at the osu game or were you watching it on tv like all the other fair weather fans.

yeah i was really lucky ever since that day i bleed maze and blue !!!!!!!

To the "tough guy" father. That I only got a chance to meet a few times. Thank God, you have a new woman in "Cat". And hopefully, the manipulations of corrupt power will keep me free for the duration of the season. Especially, Ohio State. Very difficult maneuvering.

I am the Goddamed Lt. Col. Joachim Peieper,...Mr. Germanic, Shembechler!!!

How are you doing old man?! Ask Hallie Jackson, from Pennsylvania, and your best friend Sallie, from West Virginia!!!!

We need to bring the U of M tradition Back!! Get Rid Of the Away jerzeys bring back the one's from yesteryear. They need to get stronger mentally and physically. We need the coach of U of M to be strong emotionally and not cry when things are not going his way. He also needs to morally sound in his presonal life. Glad BO isn't around to see what is happining to Wolverines he would be furious!!

Herbstreit did NOTHING FOR OHIO STATE !!!!!! HOW HE IS EMPLOYED BY ESPN....BRILLANT.

O.H....!!!!

SWWWWWWWWWWWET, I thought the public was not allowed?

Bo was overhyped just like Harbaugh. 21 years and he never won a national championship and he benefited from the fact that the B1G was a pathetically weak league.
