Bo Schembechler, former Michigan Football coach died today. He was 77 years old and he was one of my heroes. I met him once at Detroit's Hob Nobble Gobble, a Thanksgiving Eve party to fund the parade in Detroit. Bo was to be the Grand Marshal of the parade. I brought my Sharpie and my ticket stubs from a Michigan/ MSU football game I had attended with my son. He graciously signed them and asked to keep the Sharpie...I tried to explain what he meant to me. My wife said I babbled.....He died before my kids got to meet him...It has been a very sad day for me....
