My dad visited yesterday evening to give me my wedding gift early and some last "fatherly" advice regarding marriage. There is no one in this world I respect more than my dad and I thought it might be interesting to see who everyone on here respects the most in several categories:

Personally Know: My dad
In Politics/News: Cal Thomas
In US History: Abraham Lincoln
In World History: Martin Luther
In Sports (non-OSU): Marv Levy
OSU Sports: Woody Hayes

Edit: Could one of the moderators move this thread to the general board, I accidently posted in the wrong place.
 
Personally Know: My Dad, my Grandfather
In Politics/News: Colin Powell
In US History: The group of men who wrote the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution.
In World History: Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King, Ghandi
In General History: Frank Lloyd Wright
In Sports (non-OSU): Tom Landry, Vince Lombardi, Brett Favre

Personally Know: My dad
In Politics/News: John McCain
In US History: General George S. Patton
In World History: Ignatious Loyola
In Sports (non-OSU): Roy Williams (I hope somebody has ever heard him tell the story about growing up poor and his mom working two jobs as a single parent just so he could get a nickle to buy a coke once a week with his friends so he didn't feel like the poor kid...to this day he keeps a coke machine in his basement so he remember where he came from.)
OSU Sports: Aside from Woody it would have to be Archie Griffen.

I agree with you Alan. The guy gave up football at the peak of his career just because he felt like doing something else (even if it was smoking weed) :biggrin: .

Personal: My Dad
US History: FDR
Current politics: Obama
Past OSU players: Herbstreit (for the on going battle that he fights against OSU fans, and his loyalty to the program). Spielman
Coaches: Tressel, Woody, Bobby Knight, Bobby Cox

Anyone in general who strides to do something that they truly enjoy, without worrying about money or status.
