Thats why I get so [censored]ed when people ignore the old timers in these GOAT polls. You didn't have to see them play to read about them, think for a few seconds and be impressed. |
Good , I am impressed with your knowledge. And yes they are Goat pulls but it alleviates the boredom.
maybe we should be more informative in our threads. How say you? |

true Woody was on the ropes early in his career but he survived and that is what makes Woody what he is. I don't claim that Woody is the father of OSU football . I said that he is responsible for the traditions we enjoy today. Not even that he started them. But envision a football team that had a new coach every couple or few years . Where would our tradition be then? |
Flip side of that is with the passion for excellence that has always been demanded of OSU football they would have found the right guy eventually.
I'm not arguing Woody wasn't great, just that I think they would have gotten there with someone else had it not been Woody, the same as I think we would have eventually found the right guy had it not been JT.
All in all, I'm glad we've been lucky enough to have both.

I've tried that then it seems I still see the poll where Hop Cassady isn't a concensus top 3 all time multi purpose player and I get so frustrated I stay away from it.
But yes, when I'm not frustrated I think to myself we should do a better job of educating younger guys on the older players.

Ah but we didn't find the right guy instead of Woody because we had Woody. It took us , what , 18 years to find JT?. You are right about having them both. |

Yes, those gaps in between the right guy can get down right ugly. Just ask our friends from South Bend.
Which brings up a point about Earl and Coop. Even though they had their shortcomings (I was a zealous Coop basher from early on) when you look around the CFB landscape a school could do a whole lot worse for a place holder kind of coach than those two guys.

Looking at Nebraska and Notre Dame, I have to say great post.
