A bill to designate the day upon which the first University of
Michigan home football game occurs each year as Bo Schembechler Day
in the state of Michigan.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1. The legislature recognizes the outstanding
contributions made by Glenn Edward "Bo" Schembechler to the state
of Michigan. He is best known as the head football coach at the
University of Michigan, where he coached from 1969 until 1989. In
his college football coaching career, he won a total of 234 games,
including 194 at the University of Michigan. He is the winningest
coach in Michigan football history, and he never had a losing
season. His Michigan football teams won or shared 13 Big Ten titles
and made 10 Rose Bowl appearances. He was widely regarded as a
coach of great personal integrity. He helped elevate the annual
Michigan-Ohio State football game into one of college football's
greatest rivalries. In recognition of this great man, the
legislature declares that the day upon which the first University
of Michigan home football game occurs each year shall be known as
"Bo Schembechler Day".
