UrlsGrrl54 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 ADVANTAGE: MICHIGAN I hear Bo will be propped up in the lockeroom so all players can high-five him on way to field. Ok, that was tacky. Coach Schembechler hadn't held a clipboard for my fabulous WOLVERINES in years, so there'll be no pimpin' of his sudden passing from the Big House devoted. Homage will be paid, our tears will be dried and we'll KICK ASS, because we're good enough to do just that, baby. Rest in Peace, Bo and thank you.. MICHIGAN, Go BLUE!!!
