No kidding.
I bleed Boilermaker gold and black, but consider myself so extremely fortunate to have grown up watching the yearly Bo/Woody showdowns, not to mention their bowl games. I bet they will be sitting together in heaven (at least I think that's where Woody wound up!) watching the game tomorrow.
Bo always reminded me of my uncle, who was a football coach in Ohio and had a heart problem which kept him out of the service and eventually killed him much too early. He even looked a lot like Bo.
RIP, Bo, from a Purdue Boilermaker. RIP to Woody, too, since we didn't have message boards back then.
In fact, Woody did go to heaven. Here's what happened next:
Woody was met at the Pearly Gates by God Himself. God greeted Woody and said He'd show Woody to his final reward, leading Woody to a beautiful little cottage on a hillside, overlooking a gorgeous heavenly valley. On the porch was a rocking chair and from the eaves flew a red and grey flag with an "O" and some sort of nut thing on it.
Woody was quite pleased and settled into the rocker for his final rest, whereupon he looked up to the highest ridge in heaven and there was a sprawling mansion with a sweeping panorama of all of heaven. Around the mansion was a broad veranda and along its railing were festooned numerous big, bold, maize and blue Michigan flags.
Woody was a bit nonplussed, and though he didn't want to appear ungrateful he couldn't help but ask God "Why does Bo have such a nice house?"
And God said "Oh, that's not Bo's house, Woody. It's Mine!"
True story.
