It's a sad day for college football. I was outside the Shoe this evening helping a buddy set up his satellite and audio when the Michigan buses and cops drove by. Nobody heckled them, several did wave. The Michigan fans that were walking around weren't being hassled by OSU fans, most fans offered their condolences about Bo.
The rivalry is intense but there is a hell of a lot of respect for Bo and company in Columbus. Earl Bruce was in tears. He related the story of the '87 OSU-Michigan game, Earl had already been fired and was just finishing the last game. The OSU players stepped up for their coach and won the game. After the game Earl went to the Michigan locker room to talk to Bo. Bo said he was always disappointed to lose to OSU but that loss was O.K. because of the respect he had for Earl.
Trivia, Bo owned the Domino's Pizza at OSU campus for at least 20 years!
I heard that a couple of days ago Bo stated on TV he wished he could watch this one with Woody. He got is wish, they'll be watching the game from above.
R.I.P. Bo, you were a great foe, with a lot of class.
