Two trips to the shoe for Scum stand out for me

1968- I was in C Deck at the closed end with my Dad. My memory is that the entire 2nd half was a non stop celebration as Woody and the team put a beat down on scum. It was as loud at the end of the game as it was at the beginning.

1984- In A deck just behind the band in the northwest side of the stadium with my wife. (The band was not always in the south stands). The seats were not great for catching the action when it got close to the south end zone (I remember the seats being around the goaline in the north end), but they were great seats for the 4th Q as the Bucks were going south to north. At the beginning of the 4th, the Bucks were protecting a 7-6 lead. At about their own 35, they face a 3rd and long. Tomczak dropped back and threw a pass that was directly on a line to where we were sitting. It was thrown directly at a scum DB who was just waiting on the ball to get to him for an interception. At the very last second Mike Lanese jumped what seemed to be 3 feet at a 45 degree angle and snatched the ball with his fingertips. On the angle we were watching it literally looked like he came out of nowhere. The Bucks went on to score to ice the game.

Most people are familiar with the 1968 Game, when Woody went for a 2-point conversion after the Buckeyes' final touchdown with his team already leading 50-14 (the conversion attempt failed, by the way). When asked about why he elected to go for two points, Hayes quipped: "Because they wouldn't let me go for three!" Ozone has a good article about that play: http://theozone.net/Ohio-State/All-.../“…BECAUSE-THEY-WOULDN’T-LET-ME-GO-FOR-THREE”

What many people don't realize is that the 1968 Game was the second time that Hayes piled on against Michigan. The first came in the 1961 Game. Michigan scored a touchdown with 34 seconds left in the Game, and Ohio State took over at their own 20-yard line after the ensuing kick-off. On the first play, QB Joe Sparma threw a 70-yard bomb to Paul Warfield. Sparma then threw three more passes, completing the final one for a 10-yard touchdown. Sparma threw only ten passes all Game, four on the final drive.

With 5 seconds left on the clock and Ohio State leading 48-20, Hayes elected to go for 2 points. The conversion was good, and the Buckeyes won 50-20.

Couldn't get a ticket to get in so partied in the parking lot of the Shoe. Watched the game and drank beer with 20K or so of my closet Buckeye friends. It was sureal in many ways, as you could hear the stadium erupt or go silent before the play was on the screen...
