Ann Arbor — They walked together quietly through Forest Hill Cemetery, most holding roses and flowers to set at the graves of legendary Michigan football coaches Fielding Yost and Bo Schembechler and longtime radio broadcaster Bob Ufer.
This has become a tradition here, organized by Jeffrey Holzhausen the Tuesday before the annual Michigan-Ohio State game, which is Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Holzhausen started the grave walk as an organized event in 1997, although he started coming alone to the grave sites in 1992 during his freshman year at Michigan as a personal tribute.
An estimated 200 fans walked Tuesday night through the cemetery, first stopping at Schembechler’s grave.
