The Ohio State Buckeyes have been a powerhouse in college football
for decades, with numerous national championships and NFL draftees
to their credit. With such a successful history, it s no wonder
that the passion for Ohio State football has reached a level of
devotion that has religious overtones. "Saint Woody: The History
and Fanaticism of Ohio State Football" is a Bill Bryson style look
at Ohio State football and the spiritual fanaticism that surrounds
it. Bob Hunter tracks the development of this powerhouse program
from its earliest days to its heights under Woody Hayes, the de
facto king of Ohio State football. Hayes led the team to three
national championships and a record of 205-61-10 over a
twenty-eight-year period and was at the heart of the Ten-Year War,
a particularly intense period in the infamous Ohio State Michigan
rivalry. Hunter also looks at the present-day state of Buckeye
football and the team s scarlet-and-gray-clad followers, as well as
its legion of detractors, who voted Ohio State as the most hated
college team in a nationwide survey. America loves and hates a
winner.Irreverent, honest, insightful, and always entertaining,
"Saint Woody" will appeal to anyone whose spirit has ever lifted
when hearing that famous cry Go Bucks
