It's official! The Dead Schembechlers will be featured on HBO beginning Tuesday November 13th in the new documentary film Michigan Vs Ohio State: The Rivalry. The film will air dozens of times over the course of November. The full schedule of airings can be seen here. This coupled with the news of OSU on top of the BCS standings has Buckeyes fans driven into a frenzy of ecstacy.
Bo Biafra and Bo Scabies were both interviewed on camera this past Summer for the movie which will become the definitive film history of the most storied rivalry in the history of mankind. Producers spoke to a who's who of all those involved in The Rivalry. During his portion Biafra reportedly ranted and raved about the International Wolverine Conspiracy, the Bucks one hundred plus game winning streak against Michigan and a number of other topics. It was soon after the filming that Biafra collapsed on High Street and was taken to the Athens Lunatic Asylum.
"We're bigger now than ever in history," said drummer Scabies of the impending media windfall. "Figures that we would finally blow up as the wheels fell off."
Guitarist Bo Thunders remains leery of the project saying, "We've seen too many hack jobs done at our expense by The Liberal Wolverine Media. What will they do to us in this film? How will we be portrayed? For God's sake, this company actually has the name BO right there in their moniker. Do I hafta draw you a f***ing map?"
Few other details are available at this time. At this point in the production the band believes that a clip of the 2006 Hate Michigan Rally will be used with the clip possibly being of "I Hate Michigan" but is unsure. An unnamed source at HBO has confirmed that they have licensed the song "I Hate Michigan" for use in the movie. "This stuff can change by the moment and we could actually end up on the cutting room floor," said Scabies. "I won't believe we're in it until it actually airs." It is rumored that HBO was under heavy pressure from members of the International Wolverine Conspiracy to cut the band out completely.
There is word floating around OSU that there will be a screening of the film in Columbus on Tuesday October 30th. Whether this will be a private screening or a gala Scarlet Red Carpet Premiere is unclear. Unconfirmed sources say the band has been invited but are unsure of attendance. The physical scattering of the band members around the country coupled with the continued hospitalization of lead singer Bo Biafra leave many fans doubting of their ability to to appear in public. On a happy note, doctors at the Athens Lunatic Asylum have said that Mr. Biafra's mental rehabilitation is progressing smoothly. He is said to now be able to recognize the color red as "good" and the color blue as "bad." No further details were given.
"We cannot continue our run towards a Big 10 championship without them," said one Bucks player who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal against his family by the Wolverine Menace. "We can only hope the band will be spurred on by their return to the international stage via the film. We pray daily that they will appear in Ann Arbor this November."
