I read her the following quote from Carlos Hyde:

“I felt like I could have got any yards we needed. Me and the offensive line were doing a great job,” Hyde said. “I felt like we could have ran the ball the whole game (like we did) in the second half, but like I said, you can’t question the coaches’ calls.”
 
 
Her immediate response:  "No wonder they lost, with grammar like that."  Please remember that she's a retired English professor, who I lovingly call the "Grammar Bigot."

She says the same thing about them, too.

As long as you are fair, have at it. I will say this, I'd take a poorly spoken Carlos Hyde over any of our players who can not speak.

I remember the Woody Hayes Show and Eddie Beamon said "I seen the ball and jumped on it".  Woody said "No Eddie, you saw the ball".

This is part of a BBC documentary which highlighted Woody's Sunday grammar lessons for the Freshman.

One of Woody's many positive qualities. I've seen this before.

I have fond memories of watching the Woody Show on Channel 10 on Sunday mornings.  The show would open with a highlight reel of the previous day's game and then move on to the host tossing softball questions at Woody (being appropriately mournful while also outraged at the cheek shown by the other team if the Buckeyes happened to lose).

The best part was the player interviews conducted by Woody.  This would normally feature a player or two appearing uncomfortable because they'd be wearing a suit that was usually about one size too small, complete with rayon clip-on tie and white socks with black shoes.  The players' answers to Woody's questions were invariably as follows:

"Yes coach"
"No coach"
"That's right, coach"

It was hilarious.  For quite a while the host was a guy named Lee Vlisides who I nicknamed "Lee Greasy Thighs".

Zaleski,  I agree with your assessment and memories of the Woody Show, but the one I real enjoyed from Evil Empire Inc., was the Fred Taylor Show.  Sorry for mixing sports, but the Fred Taylor Show was always entertaining and especially when O$U either lost or won a by a small margin over a vastly inferior foe.  We used to call it the Crying Towel Show.  Fred would just whine and moan about nearly everything from the refs, to weather, to the breaks the other team got because of lucky bounces of the ball, etc.  You name it, and he complained about it.  The crying towel was passed around and liberally used by all participants on the show from the host, to players and, of course, Fred himself.   By the time Fred was finished it was dripping wet.  Quite a sight to behold.

I remember the Fred Taylor show too.  Especially the one after Ohio beat the Buckeyes at St. John's Arena in the 70s.  It was classic.  If memory serves, the host was Jimmy "How About That" Crum who would practically orgasm every time the Buckeyes would score a basket be it a prayer from 40 feet out or a routine lay up.

I really liked the Tim O'Shea call in show, the one where he wouldn't take phone calls!

the best thing to me about woody's show was that he didn't talk down to you like a lot of coaches. He would speak in a language everyone could understand when explaining things. Almost like he was your dad.

I read this thread to my wife, and she -- as wife's are prone to do -- corrected me.  She reminded me that what I actually used to call the Fred Taylor show was "The Weeping Fred Show."  However, she acknowledged that I did use to talk about the crying towel being passed around liberally.

     Have you read some recent posts at BA.com? Does the following look familiar, Billy?

        "Wouldn't we better served worrying about our own team getting better than cheering on others to loose? Especially when we closed the year like we did."

       I expect better from my fifth-grade students. But go ahead and continue to defend o$u and belittle the Bobcats and Bobcat fans every chance you get.

Why do people who ought to know better insist on spelling "lose" as "loose"?  Here's a good way to remember how to get the spelling right, use this little mnemonic: " You might lose your shoe if your shoelaces are loose."  Get it?  Got it?  Good.
