One of the best quotes in Sports History came from Woody Hayes. The quote and story goes something like this.

In 1968, OSU beat Michigan 50-14 (or something like that). Woody Hayes called for a 2 point conversation after a late TD in the 4th quarter. Then assistant coach Lou Holtz asked Woody why he called for a 2 point conversation. Hayes replied, "Cause they won't let me go for 3".

I hate the Buckeyes but that's an awesome quote, if ever I heard one

Al MacGuire was recruiting the same kid that John Chaney from Temple was. Macguire called the kid at 4:30 in the morning and started talking about Marquette. The sleepy kid said,"Coach, why are you calling me at 4:30 in the morning?" MacGuire replied, "Because if you go to Temple, that's what time they start practice!"
