1. He just had a pacemaker put in a couple of weeks ago, didn't he?

2. Which is it?
Did he die so he could help upset Ohio State this Saturday?

Or was the upcoming game too much for him?

Who knows Michigan players may pull this out in his honor. It may negate the home field advantage Ohio State has. If so the line should only be 4.

3. I Suspect the Betting Line Just Changed
It does bring up the old OSU-Michigan joke:

"Did you hear that Bo Schembechler is only dressing 22 players this Saturday? The others have to dress themselves."

9. I thought the joke went this way:
You can't spell scum without a UM and you can't spell unsavory without an OSU.

8. Maybe so
But I'm thinking this is like an Obi Wan "use the force luke" kinda thing here.

5. Tough weekend to be a Michigan fan...
Bo goes down, and tomorrow their team gets steamrolled by the Buckeyes.
