After Michigan coach Bo Schembechler passes away and enters the Pearly Gates, God takes him on a tour.
He shows Bo a little 2-bedroom house with a faded UM banner hanging from the front porch. "This is your home, Coach. Most people don't get their own house up here," God exclaims.
Bo looks at the house, then turns around and looks at the one sitting on the top of the hill. It's a huge two-story mansion with white marble columns and little patios under all of the windows.
Ohio State flags line both sides of the sidewalk with a huge scarlet and gray OSU banner hanging between the marble columns. "Thanks for the home, God, but let me ask you a question. I get this little 2 bedroom house with a faded Michigan banner, and Woody Hayes gets a mansion with new OSU banners and flags flying all over the place. Why is that?"
God looks at him seriously for a moment and then replies, "That's not Woody's house, that's mine!!!!!"
Oh wait... maybe that was a story to warm my heart.
Happy Birthday just the same!
