Woody was a great man with a lot of flaws. A little known fact that dones NOT make him exempt from his behavior is that he had some blood sugar issues in his later years, and perhaps most of his life. When this happened he was more prone to become irrational. Woody could fly off the handle in his life at any time but the punch was totally uncalled for. Woody, as much as anyone, understood this and knew he was wrong and totally unprofessional. By the way Charlie Baughman (sp) said many times that he verbally abused Woody in that game. It does not excuse a coach from crossing that line. Woody would have killed a player for such an act. He knew he was wrong. All of our heroes have a scar on them in some way.

By the way, when I was a high school head football coach, Frank Kremblas (1957 national champ Qb) brought Woody as a surprise to a pep rally when we made the playoffs. Woody was great with the kids and as you konow he could capture a crowd. Both of Frank's sons played football and baseball for me in high school. One went to OSU and played catcher for 4 years. One went to EKU and played baseball. Both had stints in the minor leagues. One is now manager for the Nashville Sounds. Frank Kremblas Sr. was one of the toughest and smartest and in many ways the greatest man I knew. He would come over to my house after work and we would X and O for hours and he always took time with my young son at that time. When he passed it was a loss for all of the Buckeye Planet. For me Superman has died.

Thanks for the history. My last chance to see Kremblas was when he played with a semi-pro team in the 60s in Columbus.

It's also nice to know that there's someone older than me (65 and counting) posting on here.

OK, Seriously........John Cooper caused me more heartache than any player ever could. :(

This ill-conceived thread is about least favorite Buckeyes. The appelation does not apply to Mr. Cooper. He is a fine coach, and handled the program well enough that his successor could snag a crystal football in just his second season here. But the term "Buckeye" requires more.

Both kids played hard and represented the school well, we don't rip the kids here.

(I know you are probably younger than some of the players and it doesn't seem like ripping on young kids to you so I actually do not mean it to sound harsh. Just a gentle reminder of the rules.)
