It's Indiana week, time to pull out an old Indiana story (it's actually true):

Corso was asked to share some good Woody stories. “Well, there’s 100 of them,” he said. “One of my favorites was when we got ahead of them 7-6 and I stopped the game to get picture of the scoreboard and Woody was not happy. Woody was never behind Indiana for 25 years. Not only did he never lose to them, he was never even behind them. Best thing I ever did was get ahead of Woody and take that picture under the scoreboard.”

Ohio St vs Indiana in 1976

In the 2 quarter with 14:55 to go Lee Corso head coach of Indiana called time out.

Here is the funny part, after taking a 7-6 lead over Ohio St he then had his team pose for a picture in front of the scoreboard. He then used the picture for a 1977 recruiting brochure. Ohio St won that game 47-7.

So why would he do something like this? To figure out, we must hear the entire story. Here it is.

The whole idea started in 1951 when Indiana beat Ohio St. Woody Hayes said "that football team will never beat me again- ever"

Before the kickoff of the 1976 game Corso ask Woody how he was doing and Woody just growls at him. Corso's response "What the hell are you mad at me for? I was 10 years old when those guys beat you" Woody throws his hat and laughs at Corso.

Ohio State gets a "pick 6" and misses the extra point and then Indiana drives down and scores to take the 7-6 lead. After the extra point Corso walks across the field and tells the official "we quit"
the official says "what" ,
Corso repeats "we quit. We ain't playing no more"
the official says " You can't do that"
Corso ask "Why"?
the official says "you're going to lose (forfeit)"
Corso "We are going to get beat anyhow. I quit. We're not going to play anymore"
the official says " You can't do that"
Corso "OK, Time Out"

Corso then had the team and the photographer hurry up run under the scoreboard and took a picture. The crowd mostly Ohio St fans are going crazy, Woody throws his hat at Corso and is yelling. The official says to Corso "what the hell are you doing"?
Corso says "You know what mister it's been 25 years since Indiana has been ahead of that SOB, and I want a picture to prove I'm ahead of him"

After the game the photographer has the nerve to ask Coro " Lee do you want another picture"?

I was in ohio stadium in 1959 when IU tied the Buckeyes. They went for the win on 4th and goal from the 1with less than a minute to go. It looked like the IU fullback made it, but the refs gaveWoody the call. The call was so bad that even the OSU fans booed.

I remember that game. That was the first OSU game I ever attended and I sat with my Dad in the lower rows of section 6A. There were two Indiana fans (drunks) sitting right behind us. When Indiana went ahead the two drunks I remember saying "See you get ahead of these big boys and they will fold like a circus tent." I also remember the final score as 47-7 and my Dad turned around sometime during halftime and the two drunks had left. "Guess they went to the circus, my Dad remarked..... As a young boy I have fond memories of my first game in the 'Shoe....

Just let Hyde run it all day and it may happen. Heck, EzE could probably be the main runner in the 2nd half and still get it to triple digits. I'd be surprised if we don't drop close to half a century on them by the end of the first half (of course, how many we give up in return...maybe not so nice a number, but still under our mark). Of course, if the passing game is also "on" for us, then all bets are off, although Cardale will probably just run it anyway. :lol:
