Bo statue to stand in new Schembechler Hall entrance
Is the statue going to be '70's Bo' or '80's Bo?'
70's Bo didn't have glasses and he didn't always have the Michigan cap on, at least for the first part of the decade.

80's Bo had more of what we're used to seeing; head set, glasses, cap, jacket, etc.


Go Blue! Always!
Photo op by the statue with the kids, then visit the museum.

Go Blue!
Failing that, I'll be a good source of food and play time for some kitties.
Abort, Retry, Fail?
Speaking of kitties, I caught a stray cat two nights ago. It was like 1:00am, so the shelters were all closed, so I took it into my bathroom and left it with some food and water. MGB then decided it was too loud in there and it escaped when it got into the main area of my apartment. Sad story, I wish I could have helped it more.
Go Blue!
I not only like the idea of the statue for Bo, which is fitting and, dare I say, almost necessary if there is going to be a museum dedicated to the football program in the renovations, but this:
"In the middle of the museum will be a “beacon” that will be covered with footballs representing each of the program’s victories."
I rather like this idea as well, since to me it would symbolize how the success of the program has continued to draw people to this team and to this campus. I would like to see what sorts of designs emerge for this as well.

i just really hope it looks like him. some of these statues sports venues put up look very bad. i guarantee once it is up, no one will EVER want to take it down.
in our great state.

I get the interpretation but this is just awful to me.

This look more like a decaying Bill Russel to me.
probably wouldn't make a great statue though

If I'm not mistaken this is 1986 in Columbus.
Right on the half-way mark in Toledo, I want to see a life-sized statue commemorating The Game. It will be a complete scene of Woody and Bo throwing chairs at each other.


would love to see one in the stadium somewhere...
