Yes, 1969.
Heh, heh.
What's sad is that a 3 and a half minute interview like that would never happen today. It's been replaced by 4 and a half minutes of commercials.
November 21st, 2016 at 9:25 PM ^
Or it would be during another team's game, while play is going on.
November 21st, 2016 at 9:32 PM ^
Too true.
November 21st, 2016 at 10:57 PM ^
In particular, i'm sooo sick of that stupid ass Geico commercial that features some fake ass football players talking insurance in the seconds before the snap. Fuck that commercial

But it's just an optical illusion. It's the pleats.

Eh. Too reasonable and charming. I prefer to remember him punching out camermen, Clemson linebackers, and telling his guys to tear down the Banner. A lot more fun to hate that guy than respect this one.

you're reffering to the ol' "Cause I couldn't go for three" line?
November 21st, 2016 at 11:12 PM ^
Correct. The ultimate mic drop before mic drops were even a thing.
The story being that after an away game at Michigan, he made the OSU team push the bus over the state line after it ran out of gas because he refused to spend money in the state of Michigan.
Sorry, but the banner, the bomb dogs... these stories stoke the fire and are wonderful. It's always fun to have a villain. I hope Harbaugh is able to get jabs like these in. They are right in his wheelhouse of things that he would do.

I was at a party and stoned out my mind when it happened. I was the only guy watching the game and when it occured I couldnt believe it and literally questioned "did I just see what I think I saw?" They didnt replay it and the volume was down on the set so I couldn't hear if the announcers said anything.
It wasnt until the next morning when I heard he got fired for it that I finally accepted what I saw was real. Up to then I just figured i was just too high to process that Woody actually punched an opposing player during a game.

Making memories like that is what it's all about. Sounds like something that would have happened to me in my college days.
November 22nd, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
I saw it live too and I was not even that surprised. Woody was ranting and fussing all game long, and OSU looked like a team in impending meltdown mode the whole 4th quarter.
November 21st, 2016 at 8:57 PM ^
idk I liked him in all the videos. I wasn't alive to see woody, but from your videos he seemed like a cool guy

by W.W.Hayes and you will know the man, and you will also appreciate Bo even more than you do now.

I remember Woddy's press conference after the game. Dude was totally unhinged.
November 21st, 2016 at 10:37 PM ^
From wiki:
He commanded PC 1251 in the Palau Islands invasion and the destroyer-escort USS Rinehart in both the Atlantic and Pacific operations.
He remained a professor of Military History after the firing incident.
As much as it's fun to rag on him for the stupid shit he did, I can't find in me to dislike the guy.
November 21st, 2016 at 11:16 PM ^
for a program that's steeped in tradition (albeit one that UM fans hate). The man is an icon, just like Bo, and to attempt to strip him of that legacy because of a few emotional outbursts is kind of petty.

Woody Hayes teaching military history.

at things other than football said it was all part of who he was. He was completely unpretentious, but she said he was probably the smartest member of a very intelligent family. As was the case back then, and I think even today, he would quote great war time generals. One of the quotes in his book was of a comandr preparing his troops for battle. I believe he used it prior to a game. Like Bo, he was a master motivator and because it is so much a part of being an outstanding coach I knew we were doomed with Brady. You can recruit great talent, but damn you have to push them a certain amount each day, in increments, so by Friday nights in my case, or Saturdays in theirs', they almost have to be restrained. Such is their desire to unleash some whup ass. It's an art and that's why so few stand above the crowd.

people.
Woody Hayes was fantastic.
If he wasn't it would have changed my childhood.
His decline in judgment was earth shaking but not outside his character. Woody was a model in his prime. I don't feel the same about any other OSU coach.

Cameraman down in round 1
