[QUOTE=ShibbOleth] Never happen. Rutgers is not that bad and OSU is not that good. OSU would be the way to bet, but I’d bet my house on a 3 TD spread. [/QUOTE] So, **Shibb** …where’s your house? I’m an Illinois alum, and the OSU game was not that close. 17-10 would imply parity, but it really wasn’t there. Rutgers looked much worse vs. Illinois (yes I know…33-0) than did OSU, and the score didn’t reflect it. Having said that: Muck Fichigan!!! ---

[Bo Schembechler](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15766482/) has taken very ill. From what I’ve heard on the radio, it doesn’t look good. Even here in Spartan country, he’s a beloved figure. I hope he makes it. ---

Bo just died. What a sad day for Michigan and for college football. ---

[QUOTE=BobLibDem] Bo just died. What a sad day for Michigan and for college football. [/QUOTE] This truly saddens me. I hope they have a moment of silence or some sort of recognition for him at the game. It’ll take some of the fun out whooping the Wolverines tomorrow. ---

[QUOTE=BobLibDem] Bo just died. What a sad day for Michigan and for college football. [/QUOTE] That is sad. He and Woody started this historic rivalry, and I’m sorry he didn’t live to see another game. ☹ Maybe he and Woody will get a pick-up game going on The Other Side? 😉 ---

Seems strange to say Bo passed. He never passed. ---

[QUOTE=ShibbOleth] 🙂 Schembechler’s death will certainly add an interesting new angle to the media hype tomorrow. [/QUOTE] The only interesting thing that could happen to the media hype would be if it diminished, and no way that’s going to happen. I start every Saturday in the fall by watching ESPN College GameDay…but tomorrow, I don’t know if I can face it. It was already going to be 95% Game of the Millennium; now it’ll be 90% GotM and 9% Remembering Bo. Maybe they can squeeze Cal - USC into the remaining 1%. ---

[QUOTE=jsc1953] “Upstream”? Not a word you hear in too many cheers. Care to go into the history behind this? [/QUOTE] I think it’s got something to do with “Scarlet Knights of the Raritan”. The school is located on the river’s banks. At least that’s what a Rutgers guy told me when they played Auburn several years ago. ---

3 of the first 4 plays for Michigan are passes. Poor Bo, spinning already. ---
