OK This is is for you as you request "Dubs the dumbass" (he asked me to say this )

Since it's M*ch*g*n week in Columbus, I did some digging around the old computer and found a story I saved from 1995 that I'd like to share with everyone.
Woody Hayes always gets a lot of attention this week and someone always points to the incident in the 1978 Gator Bowl.
Happily, I am able to share a positive story with you about the man, and though it doesn't change what he did to get himself fired, he's still loved by Buckeye fans everywhere. Enjoy.
GREENE: You can always pay forward

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Woody Hayes used to have a saying. He would drop it into conversations all the time. "You can never pay back," he would say. "So you should always try to pay forward." I never understood precisely what he meant the words sounded good, but I wasn't certain of their meaning. But in the years since Hayes' death I have come to learn that the "paying forward" line was not some empty slogan for him. It was the credo by which he lived his life and now the dividends of his having paid forward are becoming ever more evident.
It happened again the other day. I heard from a man named Robert Ryan, who lives in Hilton Head, S.C. Like so many other people, Ryan was well aware of Hayes' reputation as a belligerent, angry-tempered football coach. That's the reputation Hayes lived with through 28 years as head coach at Ohio State University through 205 victories, 13 Big-Ten championships, and eight trips to the Rose Bowl. Right up until the day he was dismissed after the 1978 season for slugging a Clemson player during the Gator Bowl, Hayes was considered a one-dimensional man by millions who knew him only through his much-publicized outbursts.
