Rules for Buckeye Fans:
Never agree to get married on a Saturday Ohio State is scheduled to play football. There are typically 40 other freakin' weekends to choose from...make her/him choose one of those!
Never attend a wedding during an Ohio State football game unless you carry a TV......and watch it even during the ceremony.
It is OK to wear an OSU football jersey even when old....and fat....and bald. Extra points if you've got an OSU baseball cap on backwards.
Always, and I mean ALWAYS, return any "O...H" with a hearty "I...O." This is true even during funerals, sex, in foreign countries or when witnessing the birth of your child.
When Notre Dame plays Michigan, it is mandatory to despise both teams. There are no winners.
You despise the following teams, in order: Michigan, ND, USC, Miami (that's Florida), and Bama
It is OK to be emotional (and even "tear" up) during the following:
-Script Ohio (I still remember my first!)
-Your child's first Buckeye game.
-Carmen Ohio
-During a Tressel speech.
-Listening to "What I Want"
-Remembering Woody
-After beating Michigan
-Winning the National Championship
-When NFL Buckeyes state on Monday Night Football that they are from "THE" Ohio State University .
-Hearing the phrase, "Rest easy Woody, the new man has arrived."
-Ramp entrance
It is not cool to make fun of the Neutron Man. Especially now that he is watching games with Woody. (it was NEVER cool to mock Neutron Man!)
Buckeye necklaces must be worn at all times on game day from the time you leave your place of abode until you return.
Always take off your hat during Carmen Ohio and physically remove the hats of anyone in your vicinity who fails to do so.
Everyone should rush the field after an OSU home victory over Michigan at least once in their lifetime. It’s like your own special pilgrimage to Mecca. Extra kudos for those of you who rushed the field at IU and tore down THEIR goalposts a few years ago...c'mon you know who you are!).
Attending Skull Session is mandatory at least once each season.
ESPN employees must be mocked at every opportunity.
We must all pray that the next president of OSU has more of a clue than the present one.(Her legacy is a special drink known as "The Holbrook" - any form of adult beverage placed into a soda can!)
When you die, you must have at least one item of Buckeye memorabilia planted with you. Specify which one in your will, that way your spouse won't pick something stupid.
You must be willing to die to defend your right to drink beer during tailgates.
Recruiting must be followed as intensely as any game. This is true even if it puts your job/career at risk.
Attend the Spring Game. It makes it easier to survive the summer.
When in church, it is not sacrilegious to count being a Buckeye as one of your blessings.
Try to never boo a former or current Buckeye football player. (unless he is running guns at 3AM and gets maced...)
When making fun of guys in marching bands always caveat your comments with a statement that, regardless of what you just said, anyone in TBDBITL is very cool. (Brass Bands RULE - why march woodwinds???)
Admit that secretly, you wished you played tuba and could dot the "i." You'd even be willing to put on a few dozen pounds to look the part.
It is important to consider that the "good old days" ARE NOW. Enjoy them even when OSU doesn't win the National Championship.
Scarlet and Gray always works. Maize and Blue is always gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that. (even my gay friends think Maize and Blue sucks!)
It is never ok to talk to a stranger at the urinal next to you unless he is dressed in OSU garb. That said, the topic should be limited to Buckeye football.
There are no bad seats in Buckeye Stadium. (um...well let's just say that C and D deck are not as desirable as some other locations!)
If you attend a game at Wisconsin, you must never engage in "Jump Around" at the end of the third quarter no matter how tempting. Also, never, and I mean never, take your kids to a Wisconsin game unless you want to explain why everyone there are drunken jerks.
Plant a Buckeye tree in your yard.
Hang a Buckeye flag on game day. If any of your neighbors counter with a Michigan flag, it is your solemn duty to tear it down and deface it anyway you see fit.
It is "ok" to not get the drum major thing; it is "not ok" to fail to cheer when the plume touches the field.
In honor of Woody, the principle of "paying forward" should be practiced at all times by all Buckeyes.
Drinking alcohol before 9:00 A.M. is, at best, immature, and likely, a sign of a serious problem. Except on game day.
If your significant other asks you what was the greatest night of your life, admit the truth - it was January 3, 2003!

I'll rack it.
I love the passion bro, even the parts that hate on my team. That's what makes CFB great.
I myself tear up when the Michigan band plays The Victors in fron of the tunnel before they enter the stadium. I'm close now just visualizing it.
I love the part about owning no maize. My rule is "nothing green is good", and I will most certainly never don a scarlet item.
You remind me of me from the other side. Kind of like brothers who had to kill eachother during the civil war.
Rack the new season!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch!
That was painful. December 29, 1978. The Gator Bowl. Watching it on TV with my FIL (UM fan who hated tOSU) when Woody threw that punch. I said right there: "Woody's done. They'll fire him." Dad said: "They'll suspend him, he'll be back."
The truth is the Ol Man should had retired at the end of the '77 season. He was in failing health. During the years that followed Woody regained his place in history. I will never forget the morning of March 12, 1987 when I heard on the radio that Woody had died. I had just pulled into the parking lot at work. For several moments I just sat there.

Sure, he had his shortcomings. But everyone knew he had a great heart.
"You can never really pay back. You can only pay forward."
"A guy from Ohio can make it in life if he works hard enough."
"You win with people."
"Paralyze resistance with persistence."
"I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face."
"Discipline is 95 percent anticipation."
"Without winners, there wouldn't even be any god damned civilization."
"Football represents and embodies everything that's great about this country, because the United States of America is built on winners, not losers or people who didn't bother to play."
"One thing you cannot afford ever to do is to feel sorry for yourself."
"There was no one who had better people than I did, or better football players. And, we outworked the other teams."
"The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fatheaded, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad."
"So many times I've found people smarter than I was.... But you know what they couldn't do? They couldn't outwork me. They couldn't outwork me!"
"You can outwork anybody. Try it, you will find out that you can do it."
"Anything easy ain't worth a damn!"

Rack that...I was kinda young but the day Woody died and then when Earl Bruce got canned....I remember them as if they happened this morning.Bobby42 wrote: I will never forget the morning of March 12, 1987 when I heard on the radio that Woody had died.

Rack JT for bringing this program back to the glory days.
"Rest easy Woody, the new man has arrived."
