I work across the street from the cemetary where Wayne Woodrow Hayes and his wife Ann lay in rest. A friend sent this to me. I have many fond memories of Woody. Those that wish to bash Woody - no need to reply and you can go away. He had some problems, but the good he did and the people he impacted far outways the bad. I was a member of TBDBITL (The Best Damn in the Land) during Woody's last three years and grew to respect him. I wish he were still here to see the success of Tressel and his boys. Go Bucks!

You were part of THE Band??? How cool is that??!

What instrument did you play? I used to play a brass instrument and had I gone to OSU undergrad (I went to graduate school there), I would have tried like crazy to get into that BEST band in the land!

I was at an Ohio State/Wisconsin game when they did a tribute to Woody. It was awesome. I wish I could remember the year but it had to have been the late seventies or early eighties. All the local bands, rock and otherwise, play, 'Hang on Sloopy' at least once to get the crowds going.

Great pic! And we southern Californians sure do miss him too....'cause when Ohio State showed up in Pasadena (and it seemed to be just about every year), it was great fun.

And the best fun for us was when poor old Bo Schembechler and his Michiganders would make the trip, absolutely guaranteeing a win for our side.

In 1983 I got a autograph from Woody Hayes on a napkin....still have it....my roomate got his autograph just a couple of weeks before he died.

Thanks for the Picture and for the memories.

Woody is smiling down on his Buckeyes as he watches the Jim Tressel Era begin
........... 2 years to have the National Champions!

Who, but the Loyal Buckeye Fans, would'a thunk it?

O - H - I - O - !
