Bump Elliot had been the mainstay of the Wolverines for the past few years and had led them to victory in the Rose Bowl in 1965. A band tradition was to cheer the team as it ran through the tunnel onto the field, and when the coach followed we had a special cheer for him. In 1967, my first year in the band, the cheer when "Yayyyyyy, BUMP. Yayyyyyyy BUMP."<br /><br />But that first game of the 1968 season, we changed it, and it went "Yayyyyyy BO. Yayyyyyy BO." It just didn't sound right, and many of us were wondering about this "new guy" Bo. As I recall, we won all the games that season except the big OSU game at the end. Bo fixed that up in 1969, and life at U of M has never been the same since.<br /><br />I'm priveleged to have cheered him on his first season.<br /><br />Yayyyyyy BO. I'm still with you.<br /><br />Barry GarelickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-1372507318657869042006-11-20T09:12:00.000-07:002006-11-20T09:12:00.000-07:00Mark, you pretty much captured my sentiments and ...Mark, you pretty much captured my sentiments and why I posted this Blog on Bo. Bigger then life, he touched us all in a spiritual way and in the same way, we all feel the loss. I thought the collection of memories, which I took from the Michigan Daily, said what I wanted to say, but without my having to do a spellcheck.<br /><br />AAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435140994142833427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-2986866874881220032006-11-20T08:52:00.000-07:002006-11-20T08:52:00.000-07:00Alan,

Even though I didn't play football, and although he did not know me personally, I still considered him my coach. If he would have shown up at my dorm room and asked me to get out of bed and do 100 pushups, I would have done 101.<br /><br />He was simply just bigger than life, an amazing guy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627198947431619340noreply@blogger.com
