The Ohio State Buckeyes have been a powerhouse in college football for decades, with numerous national championships and NFL draftees to their credit. With such a successful history, its no wonder that the passion for Ohio State football has reached a level of devotion that has religious overtones. Saint Woody is a Bill Brysonstyle look at Ohio State football and the spiritual fanaticism that surrounds it. Bob Hunter tracks the development of this powerhouse program from its earliest days to its heights under Woody Hayes, the de facto king of Ohio State football, and beyond. Hayes led the team to three national championships and a record of 2056110 over a twenty-eight-year period and was at the heart of the Ten-Year War, a particularly intense period in the infamous Ohio StateMichigan rivalry. Hunter also looks at the present state of Buckeye football and the teams scarlet-and-gray-clad followers, as well as its legion of detractors, who voted Ohio State as the most hated college team in a nationwide survey. America lovesand hatesa winner. Irreverent, honest, insightful, and always entertaining, Saint Woody will appeal to anyone whose spirit has ever lifted when hearing that famous cry Go Bucks!
