On 16 November, Bill and I decided to pay our respects to the graves of legendary Michigan coaches Fielding Yost and Bo Schembechler and the Voice of Michigan, Bob Ufer. Bo died a year ago and we wanted to pay our respects to the man we met for the first time almost 20 years ago - when Bill and I met and became friends. We also decided we would attend the first Pep Rally scheduled to fire up the fans and players to take on the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Expected to speak at the rally were Jim Brandstatter (UM Broadcaster and former player), Jamie Morris and some of the current players including QB Chad Henne and captains Michael Hart and Jake Long. As it turns out, we were also entertained by John Bacon who co-authored "Bo's Lasting Lessons" with Bo, Marcus Ray - UM 1997 National Championship team member who hails from Columbus, OH and Hart - the other team members didn't make it. It was a very electric atmosphere - they were expecting a couple hundred people and the numbers were closer to around 800-1,500 people. Not bad for a Friday in A2!
Bring on the Buckeyes!
