All the intensity of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry was set to music and preached as gospel to a near-capacity crowd on Friday night.
One night before the Michigan game, more than 1,500 scarlet and gray fans packed Columbus’ Newport Music Hall for the first-ever “Hate Michigan Rally,” headlined by local punk rock band The Dead Schembechlers...
...On a posting on the band’s MySpace page, they declared, “The band is crushed to learn of the death of Bo Schembechler. We named this band after Coach Schembechler to honor him as the face of Wolverine football...”
...“This will be our last ever performance as the Dead Schembechlers,” Biafra said. “We do this to honor, not a man, not a former Michigan coach, we do it to honor a man who went astray. He have always hated Schembechler as a Wolverine, but we will always salute Schembechler, the former Michigan coach.”
Near the end of the concert, the band led the crowd in three cheers for Schembechler...
That was a class move to donate the proceeds to the Schembechler's favorite charity and to retire the groups name. I think they should figure out a way to incorporate Llllloyd's name into there new name.
