Random embarrassing instances about Romo's old man

So maybe one last story.

I worked for a bank for many years as a financial advisor/rm and at one point, I was the only male employee in the branch. I was eating lunch one day, and the branch manager came running into the break room. She was hysterical; nearly beside herself.

She says to me, “Come quick, there is a disheveled looking man with a machete, who just came into the lobby. He looked around and walked out. Please please hurry.”

I’m understandably nervous and I asked if they rang the silent alarm and they had not done so because this man had walked out without a fuss. So I cut my lunch short, walked out, and got back to my desk. Everything is good. I did not face the door, but the manager did. She turned white as a ghost and ran o er to my desk practically crying, “He’s back, he’s back, he has a huge knife.” I thought she was going to stroke out or have a heart attack.

I looked up at the man, and immediately buried my head in my hands. I said, “That’s my dad. He told me he was going to give me a chopping blade to borrow to cut down some thick brush at my in-law’s place on Kelleys Island. I told him to give me a call before he got here.”

I was so embarrassed. I told him that he can’t pull that shit. He had just got done working on his car, so he was wearing ripped up greasy jeans and a stained t-shirt. His hair was all o er the place and he legit looked like a psychopath. He completely blew it off as no big deal. I told him you can’t walk into a bank, or anywhere for that matter, looking like a bum holding a 15” chopper. Didn’t give two shits. He pretty much said that’s what you get when you work with a bunch of women. I just shook my head.

Needless to say I had to apologize profusely to the staff.

What year was Ohio State's best offense? What year was Ohio State's best defense?

Offense: 2014 team. After starting sort of slow (scored 34 in a win against Navy and 21 in the only loss of the year to Va Tech), they scored 42+ points a game in 13 of their 15 final games (the two they didn't were both 31-point games against Penn State and Minnesota). They scored 672 points totals for the year (44.8 ppg) and 617 points (47.5 ppg) after their "slow start".

Defense: 1973 team, and it's not even close. They gave up two TDs and two FGs total in their first eight games, and of those only one TD in a five-game stretch. I'll say that again: The defense gave up a single score in a five-game stretch. In their final two regular seasons games, they gave up 13 to Iowa and 10 to Michigan. For the regular season--10 games--they surrendered a grand total of 43 points. They did give up 21 to USC in the Rose Bowl, but their offense scored 42 points.
