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 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, and beyond.
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 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!"
