Urban Meyer describes Woody Hayes doing weird things with a turtle.

Beat Ohio.

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

the "I Like Turtles" kid.

Paging, John Bacon.

But how did he know Maryland would join the Big Ten??

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?

Freak show. What would compell him to tell such an inapropriate story in that setting? 

I wonder how many times Hayes did that stunt if kept a box with a turtle in it.



Also, his name shouldn't be Woody after getting his stuff gnawed on by turtles. I vote for Flaccidy or Limpy

where I want my kid to go to school. 

What the.....?

If a Michigan coach ever did that, I don't think I would want that story shared! Toughness is taking a hit like a man, stupidity is hitting yourself. I'd say this is an example of the latter.

it just can't.  it's too insane to be true, even for Hayes.

This is fantastic. 

Woody came from.

The last thing we need is for PETA to get involved in college sports. 

Is Sean William Scott's "YES!" In Old School when Will Farrel darts himself.

Coaches are the best. So one coach gets turtle head and punches players during games, while the two most recent ones are both liars.

Just went over to 11CoolerFillers with nothing on this subject. I need there take on this.

I think Freud would ask urban if he was the turtle

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.

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

The most fucked up story I've ever read related to Hayes and Ohio.

But the fact that this narrative would only be relayed decades, not years, later, and by Urban Meyer, seriously WTF man.

So many possibilities.

What did Tressel have to do to beat Miami in '02?

If that doesn't get the Maryland - OSU rivalry going, I don't know what will......

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.
