A take-off on the Dead Kennedys, if anyone remembers that punk band.

The Dead Schembechlers are a punk band in Columbus, Ohio whose members all dress like Woody Hayes.

Pretty funny article about them.

And here is their video, "Bomb Ann Arbor Now".

Were the Dead Kennedys the one's that sang there's so many of us, let's have a war? Or was that Black Flag....I can't remember.

I still have the "Holiday in Cambodia" somewhere.

Maybe the band should change their name.

According to their website they were going to be the stars of a big rally tonight in Columbus. Man, that came back to bite those guys. I wonder how that all will play out?

It really couldn't be worse timing for them.

Well, I guess the timing was worse for Bo.

Heres the update on their site:

BO SCHEMBECHLER: OSU'S MOST VALIANT FOE: 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. We have never wished ill will upon him in any way and have always wished him the best. When we learned that Bo had seen our web site and was amused by it we were delighted. We were simply delighted. He said to those with him as he read it, "See, I still matter in Columbus!" That may have been the greatest understatement in football history. We believe that he took the band's name as the compliment that it was meant as and that he was flattered by it. We wish to extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to his family. We are truly sorry for their loss.

THE HATE MICHIGAN RALLY: The show is this Friday November 17th at The Newport Music Hall on High Street in Columbus. Tickets are only $8 in advance and $10 at the door the night of the show. You can get them at the box office, Ticketmaster locations or go directly to the event right now on Ticketmaster.com. We strongly urge you to get your tickets as soon as you can!

They seem like creative kids...they're gonna need it to tactfully get through this weekend.

That is a very good start at handling this appropriately.

Good job guys.
