yeah you don't like to see legends go out like Woody did....
Yep, he didn't go out with class. Too bad. Wasn't he a big fan of WW II generals?
Here is a good bio -- http://www.bucknuts.com/osuhistory/coachhayes.htm
I think so....
Woody was great and his most direct protege today is Bobby Knight....
Woody was a classic, and he had many similarities to Bobby Knight. Both won and won titles, both had their kids play the right way, fundamentally sound, both guys had the red-ass most of the time, and both guys got more than their share of heat from the media because neither cared for the media very much and let them know about it. Classic, all of it.
Yep...
bobby Knight will tell ya that he learned quite a bit from Woody...
You get just one of those...
LOL
One is all I have......
Yes, Wake played well considering everything. Louisville is a tremendous team - probably in the top 5 as they said - so Wake did well facing that machine. If they had blocked those 2 punts and recovered in the end zone instead of the guy who broke through missing the blocked punt, and if no intereception or no fumbles, they could have won....but, then, they didn't. Anyway, not too shabby for a tiny little private school in Winston-Salem, NC. Good defensive game most of the way for Wake.
The BCS people should a fact-finding tour of the places that hold the March Madness goings on; they could learn from a very sucessful setup just to take some notes.
Goes to show that the playing field is begining to level out.

And the HC salary scale in NCAA just took another huge leap forward.
And the Big East still has another game with Cincinnati a big favorite over W Michigan to get the conference to 5-0 in 2006/7 bowls.
THanks, I totally brainfarted Cincy being a Big East team.
Here we go again.
A new Damian Football Williams. That is too funny.
Damian Monroe Williams, a.k.a Football (b. March 17, 1973), along with Henry Watson, Antoine Miller and Gary Williams, known as the L.A. Four, were responsible for the attack during the 1992 Los Angeles riots on truck driver Reginald Oliver Denny. Williams became the most recognized participant of L.A. riots due to the live news broadcast of his attack on Denny and also possibly because of his memorable nickname. Williams was a high school football star who played briefly in a semipro league.
As Miller, Watson and another unidentified man beat Denny, Williams then threw a cinder block at Denny's head which knocked him unconscious. Williams then did a victory dance as he laughed and pointed at Denny. He then flashed Crips gang signs at the news helicopter taping him from above. Damian Williams was arrested by Los Angeles police chief Daryl Gates himself after he started a search for them. Williams was charged with attempted murder as well as assault and mayhem. Williams was convicted of mayhem and misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to 10 years.
In 1997, Williams was released for good behavior, but on December 5, 2003, he received a life sentence for murdering Grover Tinner, drug dealer whose age has been reported as being 43 [1] and 48 [2] in July 2000. He will not be eligible for parole until he serves 47 years.
