FanHouse Woody Hayes

No other place than in the shadow of Ohio Stadium to get handcuffed and hauled off if you're a Buckeye, right? Well done, Mr. Worthington.

The basics: Ohio State defensive tackle Doug Worthington was nabbed at 3:13 a.m. Saturday morning, and blew between a .08 and .17 on his breath test, over Ohio's legal limit of .08. Usually that's about all the information we get out of these stories, but wait there's more!

According to the incident report from OSU police, Worthington was cited for driving his white Cadillac Escalade 41 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. He was stopped just outside Ohio Stadium, at the intersection of Woody Hayes Drive and Cannon Drive.

Here's the Google Map of the intersection for the bored and/or obsessed. What does this mean for Ohio State? Probably very little if you read between the lines as the article speculates about his future.

If Worthington's case follows past precedence, he may have to face a hearing before a faculty and student panel. That could determine whether he faces a potential suspension from school. He will at least feel the wrath of the coaching staff during preseason practice and face a demotion on the depth chart.

The USC game is September 13th after two layups against Youngstown State and Ohio. Count on him being on the field by then at the latest as the play of the interior defensive line is the Buckeyes' only notable defensive question mark.

If those rumors circulating around right now about Lloyd Carr's retirement at the end of this season are true, then Saturday afternoon will be the last time Lloyd gets to experience the joy of losing to Ohio State.

Once Carr does retire, I'm sure he'll be asking himself, "I wonder if I'll ever be on a coin?"

It's something I'm sure Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler asked themselves a million times, and now their dreams are finally coming true, for the two legendary coaches will have an impact on the game from beyond the grave.

A commemorative coin featuring legendary Wolverines coach Bo Schembechler and iconic Ohio State coach Woody Hayes will be used in the pregame coin flip at Michigan Stadium.

Aside from honoring the two coaches who helped make this rivalry what it is today, it will also commemorate the one-year anniversary of Bo Schembechler's death. Schembechler passed away a day before the big game last season.

I've no idea if Jim Tressel and Lloyd Carr will ever be on a commemorative coin together, just that if they are one day, the coin will always land on Tressel.

Earlier today my FanHouse colleague, and unabashed Notre Dame hater, Brian Cook, published a post with assorted facts about Notre Dame. Seeing as how I'm a Notre Dame fan, nothing he told me was news to me. I know we suck this year. I know we haven't won a bowl game since I was 13 years old. I'm a fan, I watch the damn team instead of focusing all my time watching the teams I hate. It's an odd approach to supporting your team, I know, but it's just the way I is.

Still, I couldn't sit idly by and let Cook get away with it, so without further ado, here are some random facts about Michigan.

• They lost at home to Appalachian State this season, a D2 team, and thereby destroyed all underserved hype about a national championship.
• Michigan is currently ranked 96th in the nation in passing yards per game at 178.5 yards per game. Putting them behind such powerhouses as Middle Tennessee St, UTEP, Temple, and Idaho. Hell, they're only fourth in the state of Michigan behind MSU, Western Michigan, and Central Michigan.
• At 2-2 the Wolverines have the same record as Eastern Michigan, a team that won only one game last season.
• Michigan wide receiver LaTerryal Savoy will show you his penis for a dollar.
• Mike Hart's favorite movie is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
• Michigan hasn't beaten Ohio State since 2003.
• Michigan produced the boringest President ever in Gerald Ford, as he just edges out Chester A. Arthur.
• An anagram for Michigan is Ham Icing, which probably helps explain the appearance of the University's co-eds.
• Chad Henne records every episode of Grey's Anatomy, and watches it with the entire offensive line before every game.
• Lloyd Carr funds Al-Qaeda.
• On his deathbed, Bo Schembechler admitted to having a lifelong crush on Woody Hayes.

Now I can't prove that all of these are true, but you can't prove they aren't either! Feel free to add your own Assorted Facts in the comments.

Arkansas Athletic Director Frank Broyles is expected to step down this week. His departure is yet another symbol of the passing of one of college football's greatest generations, the great coaches who presided over the game from 1960 or so until the mid to late 1970's. Broyles coached the Razorbacks from 1958 to 1976 helping them win a championship and competing nationally in a great era against powers like Alabama, USC, Notre Dame and Michigan.

Another giant of his time has left us in the mortal sense: Bo Schembechler. Schembechler coached Michigan from 1969 to 1989 becoming the face of the program until his death just before the Michigan/Ohio State game last year.

The only giants of that era still with us are Broyles, former Texas coach Darrell Royal (1957-1976) and former Notre Dame coach Ara Paraseghian (1964-1974).

Among the magnificent but dead is Alabama's Bear Bryant (1958-1982) who retired at the end of the 1982 season and promptly checked out of mortal existence. Ohio State's Woody Hayes (1951-1978) hung around until his death in 1987. Nebraska's Bob Devaney (1962-1972) checked out in 1997 and USC's comedic John McKay (1960-1975) lasted a little longer, passing away in 2001.

All those giants left the coaching ranks long ago, but each stewarded elite programs for a decade or more. To this day most of them remain the standard for which current coaches aspire to at each of their programs. Schembechler's death and Broyles' departure signal the end of their collective direct involvement in the college game.

As that great generation fades further into memory we must now also begin to take stock of the succeeding generation of coaches. I'm talking about guys like Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno, Tom Osborne, John Robinson, Vince Dooley, Don James, Hayden Fry, Pat Dye, Lou Holtz, Lavell Edwards and Barry Switzer here.

They are the ones who were the game's caretakes from the mid to late 1970's until the late 1980's, an era of great transition and upheaval due to parity measures such as scholarship limits, the completion of racial integration and the rapid and dramatic death of plodding, run-heavy conventional offenses such as USC's "Student Body Right/Student Body Left" approach.

We'll save that analysis for another day, another time. Until then it's one final embrace of perhaps college football's "greatest generation" of coaches. Thanks for the memories, fellas.

I'm too young to have seen any of the Woody and Bo era, but I always respected Bo Schembechler. Michigan fans seemed to revere him as much as Ohio State fans revered Woody Hayes, and that's really all I need to know to realize he was a great coach.

He seemed like a pretty good guy to me, especially in this past week where it seemed like he was everywhere. He seemed to find the idea of The Dead Schembechler's a funny one, and anyone that has that much of a sense of humor about themselves has to be alright.

When a larger than life figure like Bo dies I imagine to all the people who watched him coach and who grew up with his legend it must feel like a family member has died. I'm sure I'm joined by all Ohio State fans when I say my condolences to all Michigan football fans.
