My dad was a big Woody Hayes guy.
Ohio State University puts out some very fine football players.
There's only one professional team in Columbus, the Blue Jackets, but Ohio State is a football state.
Ohio means a lot to me. Kinda like a second home, just the memories I have here and the fans I made while at Ohio State with the things that I accomplished at that great university.
I have great admiration for Woody Hayes.
I never brought it up when I coached, but I have close ties at Ohio State. Unfortunately, I even have a graduate degree from there.
I live and die for the Buckeyes. I also love to play racquetball.
It's not as if I dislike Michigan. I have a lot of respect for the university - not only the athletic department but how they educate young people. The only reason I dislike them is because they are the No. 1 rival for OSU.
Ohio State is an up and down team.
I think at Ohio State, we're professional athletes in Columbus.
My brother went to Ohio State. I think Cris Carter just graduated, but Cris was there a lot. I got a chance to go up there and watch the battle between Ohio State and Michigan.
