This is the Statt Mann Baby!! Time to Scatt a little bit.

Civility has left the culture and, by extension, athletic competition.

But it never left Glenn Edward "Bo" Schembechler, one of the two most intense men we’ll ever know. The other being Bo's mentor Woody Hayes. Bo died Friday.

Now, I’m a Buckeye. I breathe and bleed Ohio State scarlet and grey.

But I can honor Bo who led his Michigan Wolverines against Hayes and my Buckeyes over and over and beat us into tears over and over during a Ten Year War.

But you never saw Bo do the football equivalent of banging us into the wall or waiting ‘til the contest was over to ram us as we walked to the locker room. Or, simply, cheat and lie about it. He simply lined up and beat us or shook our hand when he couldn’t.

Now Bo never won a National title. And idiots will say he was less a man because of it.

But Bo is a legend dead or alive. And idiots will be idiots forever.

Thanks for the life lessons Bo. Would that more could have learned from them.

Hail to the Victor.

Peace.
