The legend and lore that is Woody Hayes.

It's too good not to be true ...

Here's the story: Ohio State coach Woody Hayes hated Michigan so much that he refused to spend a dime in the state ... even when his car ran out of gas, a few miles away from the Ohio border. Hayes, legend has it, pushed his car into Buckeye territory to prevent a Michigan gas station from profiting from his misfortune.

Wouldn't he have just poisoned the food?
In the 1970s, when Archie Griffin starred for the Buckeyes, distrust between Hayes and Schembechler ran deep. Griffin recalled, for example, that Hayes once accused Schembechler of hiring very pretty waitresses to serve the Buckeyes breakfast the morning of the big game. Obviously, that distraction could cost Ohio State the game. Hayes sent the waitresses packing. "They were all nice-looking ladies," Griffin said. "That's for sure."

The "legit" version of this story is that the assistant coach who was driving warned Woody that they were running low on gas, and Woody said they would push the car to Ohio if neccesary.

It's a matter of record that Woody would not say the "M word", instead speaking of "that team up north".

Destroy those (m.f.)ers
Beat down those damn (c.s.) ers
To Hell with Michigan, those scumbags from Up North.
