Urban Meyer describes Woody Hayes doing weird things with a turtle.
This is just bizarre:
"He reaches down and grabs this box, slides the top and there was something in the box moving around. He reaches in and he pulls out this turtle. He reaches down, this turtle's snapping and he says, 'I'm going to show you toughness.' He unzips his pants and takes out whatever he takes out. The turtle reaches up and snaps at him. You see the veins and the sweat (on Hayes). He screams at the coaches, 'That's toughness! That's f'n toughness!'"

I'm not impressed unless it was one of these guys:

the "I Like Turtles" kid.

You gotta give them the source,,,
I tried like five times to embed the video, but apparently I can't do that anymore.

Paging, John Bacon.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:27 AM ^
But how did he know Maryland would join the Big Ten??
February 12th, 2013 at 11:32 AM ^
Regardless, it's an apt metaphor for Maryland's expected role in the conference.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:30 AM ^
Just to be absolutely clear, Urban is telling a story about Woody Hayes letting a turtle snap at his crank?
I would call bullshit, except how could you possibly make shit like this up?
February 12th, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
Freak show. What would compell him to tell such an inapropriate story in that setting?
February 12th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
I imagine after you've leaked all your negative recruiting rumors about rival coaches and then made all the requisite payments to your enrolled recruits; the need to censor your media commentary becomes less critical.
Or weed is a hellauva drug....
February 12th, 2013 at 11:32 AM ^
Also, his name shouldn't be Woody after getting his stuff gnawed on by turtles. I vote for Flaccidy or Limpy
February 12th, 2013 at 12:54 PM ^
Thanks for clarifying.
February 12th, 2013 at 1:31 PM ^

February 12th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
Yes! Again!
February 12th, 2013 at 11:37 AM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 11:37 AM ^
it just can't. it's too insane to be true, even for Hayes.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:40 AM ^
This is fantastic.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:41 AM ^
Woody came from.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
The last thing we need is for PETA to get involved in college sports.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^

February 12th, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
Still less embarrassing than Moller and his druken tirade.
February 12th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
You really think getting drunk and acting like an ass is worse than sticking your junk in a turtle's mouth?
I will not be attending your family reunions.

Just went over to 11CoolerFillers with nothing on this subject. I need there take on this.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:51 AM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 11:52 AM ^
The OP just left off the punchline:
He reaches down, pokes the turtle right in the eye and it falls off. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and says, 'That's the problem. We don't have anybody in this room tough enough to do that right there.
"(One assistant) raises his hand and says, 'Coach, I'd do this. Just promise not to poke me in the eye.'"
Urban trying to be funny.
February 12th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
Urban had used himself as the assistant coach that volunteered!!!
February 12th, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
Urban Meyer told that turtle story last year RT @GerdOzone about Earle Bruce last year. Start at the 10:20 mark. http://youtu.be/SQ2Rvb68pwc
February 12th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
Urban has lied about something?
Inconceivable!
February 12th, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
What a great catch! Urban Meyer and his lying ways are no match for Youtube.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
But the fact that this narrative would only be relayed decades, not years, later, and by Urban Meyer, seriously WTF man.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
So many possibilities.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
What did Tressel have to do to beat Miami in '02?
February 12th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
If that doesn't get the Maryland - OSU rivalry going, I don't know what will......
February 12th, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
I'm like 90% sure this is a joke. I think I've heard it before except it wasn't a turtle.
February 12th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
This easily vaults Woody into No. 1 on my favorite people list. I mean, he was always top-5, but anyone that lets a turtle bite their penis deserves to be first.
February 12th, 2013 at 12:29 PM ^
How about people who poop in coolers?
February 12th, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
of course it does.
February 12th, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
Cause if you watch the youtube video referenced above, you will see Urban telling the same story about Earle Bruce. Or maybe this is just an Urban Legend?
