1946 Homecoming

OSU HOMECOMING 1946.jpg

Program from first game of 1946. "Good Luck" not so much, for single-season HC Paul Bixler.
(4–3–2 record and outscored 166–170)

OSU 1946 PAUL BIXLER 1 SEASON HC.jpg

FYI (If you don't already know), Bixler later served as director of player personnel for the Cleveland Browns after a stint coaching at Colgate, where he compiled an equally abysmal record of 18–30–4.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, there is this from the Plain Dealer staff:

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 23 -- The eighth-ranked Michigan Wolverines blew out Ohio State, 58-6, in 1946 before a crowd of 79,735 at Ohio Stadium... The game marked the end of Paul Bixler's first and only season as the Buckeyes' coach. Wes Fesler would take over the following season.

Looks like we were the ones who ended up in the meat grinder. Ouch!
