Bo Schembechler, former coach of the team up north, died today. Here in South Dakota, it’s not Bo Schembeckler of the Ten Year War it’s “Bo who?” The Ten Year War is remembered here as the first of three wars that Cuba fought against Spain for its freedom not the ten years that Bo and the team up north played against Woody and the Buckeyes. It’s all just as well, I’m sure most South Dakotans don’t know who Woody is either. Today my body is in South Dakota, but my heart is in Columbus singing....
Fight the team across the field
Show them Ohio's here,
Set the earth reverberating
With a mighty cheer
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hit them hard and see how they fall,
Never let that team get the ball,
Hail! Hail! the gang's all here,
So let's win that old conference now.
