I still have a copy of a biography of Woody Hayes that was written in the early 70's. It was a Christmas gift one year from my parents!!

Woody still taught an English class and refused giant payraises.
The youth of America will hardly ever even become aware of people like that. A passionate man that did not cheat.
"When Hayes was first hired to be the head coach at OSU, he was also made a "full professor of physical education", having earned an M.A. degree in educational administration from Ohio State in 1948. The classes that he taught on campus were usually full, and he was called "Professor Hayes" by students. Hayes also taught mandatory English and vocabulary classes to his freshman football players."

although looking at the Wiki to freshen my knowledge I ran across this;

"After losses or ties, Hayes would conduct locker room interviews while naked. A journalist from his tenure noted, "He was an ugly guy so it would clear the locker room out pretty fast."

Oh yeah, Fuck Ohio State

On New Year's Day in 1997, I was probably with my teenage son while he practiced driving.

left to cost Arizona State's greatest chance ever at a National Championship(AP since coaches were locked into the Sugar Bowl winner).

I was ill for a week. Yes, I know grass was green and sky was blue.

I guess that must be a Michigan apologist that you posted.
