I was in the OSU marching band from 76 - 80 including Woody's last 3 years. I met Woody several times during those three years. He frequently stopped by the band to talk with us. He admired our hard work and joked the he wished his players practiced as hard. As others mentioned, he was also a historian and often intertwined Greek/Persian war battles and strategy in his speeches. Unfortunately, I searched for a video of the commencement speech he made shorty before he died in 1987. It was truly a remarkable speech.
