No matter how you feel about Michigan, Bo is a great man and I hope for a full and speedy recovery. Makes the game tomorrow all the more meaningful.

Hang in there Bo!

Bo is truly an icon in college football. Him and former Iowa coach Hayden Fry are the best coaches never to win a national championship. They rank up there with Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, Tom Osborne, Bud Wilkinson, and Woody Hayes.

RIP Bo! In heaven there will be at least one angel on Michigan's side tomorrow.

[Garrison]

It's at least comforting to think that Bo and Woody will be watching the game together tomorrow. :( RIP, Bo.

I did find that Michigan won the 1985 Title from the Sagarins and Matthews polls, and in 1973 they won the National Championship Foundation and Poling polls. Thats the problem with D-1 football. They need a playoff.

[David_L]

Yeah, smaller polls sometimes do crown national titles do other teams, at least back in those days. Penn State has a banner that says 1994 National Champions for the same reason, and is also why I consider Washington the 1960 and 1984 National Champions :)

Iowa won the NC in 1921, 1956, 1958, and 1960.

Back to Bo. He was 5-4-1 against Woody and never punched someone.
