ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- On the final day of his life, Bo Schembechler attended a funeral. One of his former players, quarterback Tom Slade, had died of cancer, and although it hurt to walk, the former coach had to say goodbye. He arrived at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor with his wife, Cathy, and sat in the last pew.

 

After attending the funeral, he watched his protege, Lloyd Carr, lead practice. Schembechler was supposed to make a rare post-practice speech to the team. His speeches enraptured audiences, and this -- Michigan-Ohio State -- was his favorite subject.
