Death of a Legend

Legendary former University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler died on Friday after collapsing during the taping of a television talk show, officials said. His death at age 77 came on the eve of Saturday's highly anticipated football game between top-ranked Ohio State University and No. 2-rated Michigan.

Schembechler, who once coached at Ohio State under another legend, Woody Hayes, was the winningest coach in Michigan's history, running up a record of 194 wins, 48 losses and 5 ties during a career at the school that ran from 1969 to 1989 and never saw a losing season. He guided 17 teams to post-season bowl games, including 10 Rose Bowl appearances.
