    Statement on the Death of Glenn E. ``Bo'' Schembechler
    November 18, 2006

        Bo Schembechler was a true legend of college football. I was
    saddened to learn of his death. He inspired generations of players and
    fans by insisting that his teams play hard, play fair, and bring honor
    to themselves and their school by finishing their educations and
    contributing to society. He was an extraordinary leader and role model
    who will be missed. Laura and I join fans of the
    Big Blue in extending our sympathies to his wife, Cathy, and his family and friends.
