Heartless Conservative To Have Heart Surgery
Got my date today. October 4th.
The docs believe it will be a valve repair after much testing. If it is a replacement I was offered an organic valve or a mechanical valve. When I asked for their recommendation and they gave me the options I was intriqued to learn that they use pig valves when going the organic route. The organic pig valve doesn't last nearly as long as a mechanical valve.
If I have to go replacement I may go with the pig valve just to piss off the Islamofascists. Well, that and the fact I love ham. Smithfield. Beaten biscuits. Homemade mustard. A dash of horseradish. A sip of bourbon. Trust me.
I just want the little guy to feel at home. PETA notwithstanding.

Islamofascists In America
Muslim Brotherhood's papers detail plan to seize U.S.
Counterterrorism officials say that regardless of what anyone thinks of
the Holy Land documents, the threat from radicals outside and inside the U.S. is
real. A common belief among law enforcement and government officials is that
after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and post-9/11, radicals have
retreated underground.
"People who harbor the secret desire for the U.S. to become more
Islamic are not going to announce themselves in the current climate," said Jeff
Breinholt, a 17-year Justice Department official who until June was deputy chief
of the national Counterterrorism Section, where he oversaw the nationwide
terrorist financing program.
"However, they may be willing to violate laws they view as unfair,
which is what I think occurred in the Holy Land Foundation case."
The article does give opposing views as it should. I, though, am inclined to not fully believe what they say, especially people such as Mahdi Bray who speaks out of both sides of his mouth daily. He was a highlighted speaker at the ANSWER anti-American rally held last Saturday in Washington DC, but is quoted in the below article giving some of his background:
In his book, American Jihad, Emerson noted that Bray had organised a rally
outside the White House in 2000 where the crowd chanted in Arabic, “Khaybar,
Khaybar, Oh Jews, the Army of Muhammad is coming to get you.” [In the Koran,
Mohammed conquered the Jewish settlement of Khaybar and slaughtered all its male inhabitants.] The crowd burned an Israeli flag as they marched from the White House to the State Department and openly distributed literature calling for the death of all Jews.
Go read the rest and see if you are as chilled as I am.
Hillary Care
As they say, 2.0, but Hillary says that she has learned through listening over the ensuing years since the 1.0 debacle. Me, I just don't care what she proposes.
She says, 2.0 is all about choices for people wishing to improve their health care. Question: If this works for health care why are Hillary and her "friends" in the Democratic Party so adamant about never discussing buffet style options for social security except to shriek that Republicans hate the elderly?
UPDATE: Right Wing Champ is also writing about this.

Modern Medical Miracles
As I've mentioned before, yawn, my father was a surgeon. A surgeon working and perfecting techniques way before others. Please forgive my pride, but don't expect me to stop.
This morning I had a Heart Cath for an impending heart valve repair or replacement. When my father was alive this would have been thought science fiction, but he saw it happening in the nearer future than the few others that even thought it possible then. Today, the heart cath is considered a minor procedure and it was.
In less than seven hours, much of that time was paperwork, scheduling, post procedure observation and such, an absolutely outstanding group of doctors, nurses and technicians performed a heart catheterization which accomplished two things, measuring blockage, etc. and pressure.
This afternoon I was home with little soreness and a wealth of information that the doctors say will shorten and simplify my coming operation.
Medical science is incredible.
So is Riverside Methodist Hospital: Riverside
My father did a lot of surgery there.

Little Girl, Autumn Ashanti, Announces The Fall of America
As an added bonus for all of us mouth breathing freedom lovers, the highminded folk of A.N.S.W.E.R./Code Pink/MoveOn and others of the enlightened class, brought us such luminaries as Autumn Ashanti for our edification at their tiny protest in Washington DC against freedom in Iraq.
Autumn Ashanti - poet activist also gave some poetry/rap/crap for peace.
Her father is Ashante, a Nation of Islam poet/activist and I am so sure that he didn't write her material.
Presented here is one of "Autumn's" pieces. I couldn't understand her screaming so I do not know if she presented this in our nation's capitol last Saturday, but she wrote it when she was seven years old.
for her father's greed for attention, but as a spokeschildwoman for us, the huddled masses.

White nationalism is what put you in bondage

Steel, tricks and deceit.

The mis-education of she

Black lands taken from your hands,
by vampires with no remorse
They took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers
They took the black women, with the black man weak
Made to watch as they changed the paradigm Of our village
They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby
Yeah White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
They drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.

Liars Reid, Pelosi, Hillary, MoveOn, HuffPo And Kos In Bed Together
Gee, it seems as if the Democrats got the memo from Kos and HuffPo. Maybe it was tucked in a wad of cash from communist China via Hsu.
Let's see, call Petraeus a:
Liar - check
Distorter - check
Spade - check
Media whore - check
They struck my vital nerve and have set me howling? Actually, no. They are not intelligent enough, I don't mean ignorant, they are not intelligent enough to be in the same league with a gentleman soldier such as Petreaus.
I am, though, waiting for their next memo. They humor me and the electorate gets another glimpse into the fetid minds of liberals and democrats.
This group makes slime like Fonda, Hayden and Hoffman look good by comparison.
.
Thank you Hillary for calling Petraeus a liar!
Thank you Hillary for calling out Petraeus for what he is, a liar and a
distorter of facts. While I still prefer an Edwards/Obama ticket, I just
wanted to show some progressive blogosphere love here for Hillary for her
calling a spade a spade here, and subsequently setting the right
wing howling.
The same thanks applies to MoveOn, for their not allowing Petraeus
to parade around like some untouchable holy priest without being called on his
crap.
Petraeus is trying to help the Bushies hide their war crimes and war
lies behind Petraeus's uniform, a uniform which Petraeus has now disgraced by
his working most every MSM venue like a champion media whore.
A vital nerve must have been struck to set the right wing howling
so about their holy man Petraeus, and I think that we should get Hillary's and
MoveOn's backs on this particular issue.So, whatever your 2008 candidate affiliation, please rec here now to show some love for Hillary and MoveOn for how they took on Bush's media whore Petraeus!

Vegan Nannanista To Sue School Non-Vegans
Vegan teacher threatens to sue school districtFox River Grove Middle School teacher Dave Warwak gave school officials an
ultimatum Monday: Go vegan, or I'll sue.
Warwak told school officials that unless the middle school served
exclusively vegan lunches, which contain no animal products, Warwak would pursue a case against the school for its violation of the Illinois school code.
"The only way I'll drop charges is if the school goes vegan," Warwak said.
Warwak also has a website where one can see the depths of his passion. It goes way beyond a casual lawsuit against his peers and students. It is a whole new future where parents have even less say about their children's education and life style. It is a future where (com)paasinate teachers can further indoctrinate students in beliefs they hold and parents don't.
Warwak even published a series of e-mails in which he is chastised for deception and forcing his beliefs on students. He responds by chastising his boss and tries to (re)educate him into becoming a vegan, ergo becoming a responsible citizen shaping student's futures.

Sorry you feel that way. I never told anyone to be a vegetarian. I think students should have all the facts and make their own decisions. I thought we want students to be
informed decision makers. I thought nutrition was taught in school. I
respect life and I am taking responsibility (that is the correlation). This
started because of students at our school, our students, are killing animals for
fun - killing birds and squirrels - anything that moves. I thought I would
confront the issue instead of shoeing it under the carpet for fear of phone
calls. I am not sure which posters you are referring to. I can
take them all down if you wish.

Dave,
This Peep project seems to be turning into a PETA advertisement. I don't like tying in the schools moto of respect and responsibility to a vegetarian diet. I don't see the
correlation and I don't want to be fielding phone calls that we are pushing an
agenda on the students or other staff that is not the opinion of the
district. I think a couple of the posters take this too far and maybe some
of the display. Please be careful not to have this back fire.
The notion that non-vegetarians support cruelty to animals....even if true.....I'm not using our school as a soap box for this opinion. Please remove the posters that indicate that students should not eat meat. I'm sorry if I led you to believe that I supported promoting
being a vegetarian, and that not being one, was bad.

This is the info that was too long to read (which I know is very serious indeed) but change means work
http://inslide.com/respect/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1In this example Heriditary Ignorance continues by avoidance, delay, denial, anger, disconnect - do not back down from these people - eventually, you will break through!
This guy sounds like a stalker in his e-mail, especially one that has no sense of the "nuance" of "you don't get it".
I love the part where he cites the heir of the Baskins & Robbins fortune as an expert who has researched diet. Of course, being a reality based type of guy, Warwak realizes an ice cream heir might not be persuasive enough so he goes for the old bribe'em with coffee and bagels trick to get teachers to read his crap.
So now we're at a point of Vegan Or Bust. Or love bambi or I'll sue!
This guy is too stupid to be a student, let alone a teacher.

Oil hits new high above $80
Humberto, maintenance, boutique gas for the east coast and the left coast and liberals. Liberals and their allied ecoterror groups have put us in a pickle. It is going to effect our economy and when it does the liberals will blame Republican policy, conservatives and, of course, Bush.
Our drilling for oil is hobbled in Alaska, crippled in the gulf and held hostage off California and all across the country. By law. Not that our laws are stopping other countries from drilling off our shores. Our laws enacted by liberals and little republicans, all for a warm fuzzy feeling, is now threatening what other countries have only dreamed of, crippling our economy. The economy is strong now because of conservative policy, but for how long when the price of oil is spiraling out of control.
Make no mistake about it, liberals are trying to cause our economy to falter in a controlled fashion. Once it does the liberals can control the House, the Senate, the White House and most state capitols to expand the power of government, lessen the power of states and individuals, by pointing out the bad economy (that they caused) under a Republican president. One way to make the economy to falter is to tie the hands of industry through mechanisms like oil and their crap about the environment.
I am all for animals, natural beauty and a safe environment, but we'll have none of it if our economy falls. No oil and our economy falls. Liberal control and our economy is, at the least, faltering if not worse. I know,Reagan Clinton had the best economy, but he has never thanked Reagan.
With the competition in the market from Communist China, our ally India and other emerging nations for oil the US has to engage in more drilling. If a snail darter loses its little life, well, I'll have a little funeral.
Will moderates and independents still love the caribou family if they can't find work and feed their moderate or independent family?
If I could get oil below $55 and have a good caribou steak I'd be happy.
Why are we being held hostage. Let's drill.

Kagen On Jones
Presenting the Jones Report as a condemnation of the Iraqi Security

Harry Reid - Come Over To The Dark Side
Petraeus unites GOP on pullout
But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who failed repeatedly to muster
enough votes to compel the president to accept a pullout plan, yesterday said he
will try again next week with measures to force significantly larger troop
reductions.
“I call on Senate Republicans not to walk lockstep with the president as they have done for years,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It is time to come over and join us.”
What part of the "Shut up" America is screaming does Reid not understand? Maybe if he could get Pelosi and Soros out of his, er, ear, he could hear that the people want him to stop.
Just grab Nancy and go home Harry or are you betting on the longshot with your horse "Man 0' Defeat"?

Humberto & Landrieu-One Unpredictable
Sen Mary Landrieu, just on Fox News, once again blames Bush FEMA for being unprepared and sending out confusing orders during a hurricane. This time concerning Humberto, a category 1 hurricane that didn't exist 17 hours prior to hitting the coast.
Landrieu knew then and she knows now that she and the politicians in Louisiana screwed the pooch during and after Katrina and lied about it. They are still to this day lying about their incompetence and corruption concerning the federal money sent to Louisiana to repair business and buildings.
This is so predictable. Hurricane Humberto is not.

Just ask Bill the polls. If I didn't hate that toe sucking Dick I'd ask him to do a triangulate the Sunni Triangle with dueling polls of truth to power schtick.
Thank you gentlemen.
Thank you gentlemen.
No Barking Ordinance
City puts bite in 'no barking' ordinance
Mount Dora eyes rule to targets dogs
The city may put a leash on frequent dog-barking.Under a proposed
change in Mount Dora's noise ordinance, dogs won't be able to just keep barking
and barking, creating a disturbance in a neighborhood.
Now if a city wants to show some real compassion they would pass an ordinance banning moonbats from barking for more than an hour a day. I know, but cutting them down by 10% per day is a start.

Here are sites remembering 9-11 and the horror of such a barbaric act by common thugs hiding behind a thin veil of religion.

American Peacenik Axes Dutchman To Death For Life
Disturbed anti-war protester can't find soldier, kills civilian with
axe instead
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - A U.S. citizen has confessed to using an axe to kill a Dutch student after failing to find a soldier to attack, his lawyer said Tuesday.
The suspect, Carlos Hartmann, 41, of Tecumseh, Mich., has confessed to the Sept. 8 killing on a train platform in the southern city of Roosendaal, defence lawyer Peter Gremmen said. Gremmen said Hartmann wanted to punish the Netherlands for its support of the war in Iraq.

To Start A Day Of Cleansing
A good start would be for those that have demeaned our country, our troops, our President and the reality of 9-11 to stop lying and to start telling the truth.
The two who should start this are Jack Murtha and John Kerry. They both need to publicly apologize to our soldiers for the lies they have publicly stated about them. They also need to apologize to us, the citizens, and our fallen heroes for hiding their service records and the actual series of events that led to their receiving medals.
That would be a start for a day of cleansing this sixth anniversary of 9-11.

Petraeus Testimony - Ros-Lehtinen

Rep. Wexler - Petraeus Is A Liar-Part II
Rep. Robert Wexler is pontificating and lecturing Gen. Petraeus at the moment on what is true and what is not true. This loser, Wexler, has the moral indignation of a drunk preacher sermonizing on the evil of alcohol.
If I were Petraeus I'd bitch slap Wexler, but that is why the General is who he is, a professional soldier who does his duty by sitting there listening to pure crap.
If I lived anywhere near Wexler I'd work overtime to defeat him.

Harry Reid, Petraeus The Liar
Reid: Petraeus’ Testimony Is White House Spin
“He has made a number of statements over the years that have not proven
to be factual,” Reid said. “I have every belief that this good man will give us
what he feels is the right thing to do in his report, but it’s not his report
anymore. It’s Bush’s report.”
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., joined his Senate colleagues in claiming the
Petraeus report would be little more than a work of fiction.
“Instead of a new strategy for Iraq, the Bush administration is
cherry-picking the data to support their political objectives and preparing a
report that will offer another defense of the president’s strategy,” said
Emanuel, the House Democratic Caucus Chair. “We don’t need a report that wins
the Nobel Prize for creative statistics or the Pulitzer for fiction.”
As I read and write, Dianne Feinstein is on Fox News Sunday spewing the party line of Petraeus is lying, but he is a nice guy who has to answer to that lying Bush. Oh, and yes the violence is down, but things aren't any better in Iraq.
Go read the entire article at Let Freedom Ring. It is a good article.

Moore takes parting shot at Bush in rockstar flick
"The majority of Americans are liberal. They hate that word and they'll
never use it, but if you ask them, 'Do you think women should be paid the same
as men; do you think that we need assault weapons laws; do you think the minimum wage should be raised' ... the majority of Americans take a liberal position on every issue, except capital punishment."
But voters were simply not presented with a strong-enough Democratic
candidate in Kerry, he said. "They don't want to go into a polling booth and
vote for a weenie for president."

Bush Plan Not Going As Planned - Again
Criticism Of McClatchy Surge Story Sparks Online Response
"Pentagon officials and the White House had predicted that U.S.
casualties would rise, especially since the U.S. forces had launched major
offensives in Diyala province, north of Baghdad, and Babil province, to the
south," the response said. "One of the most recent restatements of that premise
came in the White House's July 12 assessment of progress in Iraq on Pages 3 and
4.
"So what happened?" Seibel wrote. "Not what had been predicted. U.S.
deaths caused by enemy action peaked at 120 in May, before the surge reached
full strength or Operation Phantom Thunder was launched. Combat casualties then fell consistently for the next three months, reaching a low of 56 in August.
That's the lowest number of combat casualties all year. You have to go back to
July 2006 to find combat casualties at that level."
And liberals are po'd, but which way?

Ron Paul, Butt Boy for Leftists
Ron Paul never had my vote, but now he has lost my respect.
REP. PAUL: The people who say there will be a bloodbath are the ones who said it would be a cakewalk, it would be slam dunk, and that it would be paid for by oil. Why believe them? They've been wrong on everything they've said. Why not ask the people -- (interrupted by cheers) -- why not ask the people who advise not to go into the region and into the war? The war has not gone well one bit.
So just like Schumer, Reid, Pelosi, Kucinich, Durbin etal, Ron Paul now aligns himself with the wackjob left in saying 1) President Bush is a boob and a liar, and 2) Neo Cons (the Jews!) are running our foreign policy. Then Paul ignores the history of the Congressional abandonment of South East Asia and the bloodbath that ensued.
Also Paul decides that spreading freedom is a bad thing since freeing 50+ million people in Iraq and Afghanistan has not made the war go well, not even one bit.
MR. WALLACE: So, Congressman Paul, and I'd like you to take 30 seconds to answer this, you're basically saying that we should take our marching orders from al Qaeda? If they want us off the Arabian Peninsula, we should leave? (Laughter.)
REP. PAUL: No! (Cheers, applause.) I'm saying -- (laughter) -- I'm saying we should take our marching orders from our Constitution. We should not go to war -- (cheers, applause) -- we should not go to war without a declaration. We should not go to war when it's an aggressive war. This is an aggressive invasion. We've committed the invasion of this war, and it's illegal under international law. That's where I take my marching orders, not from any enemy. (Cheers, boos.)
Now Paul has returned to his “9/11 was our fault” meme by saying this is an aggressive war. This is a war against not only those that attacked us, but also those that support terror groups throughout the world and Sadaam was a big supporter. Plus, for Paul, who calls himself a strict constructionist about the Constitution, to cite international law is laughable, just as he is becoming laughable.
REP. PAUL: The American people didn't go in. A few people advising this administration, a small number of people called the neoconservative hijacked our foreign policy. They're responsible, not the American people. They're not responsible. We shouldn't punish them. (Cheers, applause.)
MR. HUCKABEE: Congressman, we are one nation. We can't be divided. We have to be one nation under God. That means if we make a mistake, we make it as a single country, the United States of America, not the divided states of America. (Cheers.)
REP. PAUL: No. When we make a mistake -- (interrupted by applause) -- when we make a mistake, it is the obligation of the people through their representatives to correct the mistake, not to continue the mistake! (Cheers, applause.)
So now, Paul the strict constructionist, is calling for the people, through their representatives to violate the Constitution to control international relations and the rights of the Commander in Chief. Sounds like Harry Reid.
Ron Paul is no conservative, nor is he a libertarian. I don’t know what he is anymore, but he sounding like a butt boy for the likes of John Kerryand his ilk who never once looked back or shed a tear for what his kind of people did to our soldiers and the poor souls who hoped to be free of the yoke of communism in South East Asia. For that alone Mr. Paul, go to hell.
To enhance freedom, spread freedom.

Wannabe Chairman Short Meets Dictator Tall, Assad Kucinich
US Democratic hopeful Kucinich meets Assad, blasts Bush
"I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation ... I
don't want to bless that occupation with my presence," he said in an interview
in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. "I will not do it."
Doing for America what he did for Cleveland.
“Strength through Peace is vastly different from the dead end
neo-conservative ‘Peace through Strength’ doctrine which attempts to
legitimatize unilateralism, first strike and preemption. I want President Assad
to know that our congress and our nation has people who believe in direct
engagement.”
Building peace through betrayal, one dictator at a time. Next stop Tehran?

McClatchy McClutches to Defeat in Iraq
Victories in the field denote losses in newsrooms; reasons unclear.
One British analyst, using the example of the British drawdown of forces in southern Iraq, suggested that the lower numbers may mean that American troops are irrelevant to the many conflicts racking Iraq: ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods in Baghdad, massive bombings of religious minorities by Sunni Muslim extremists in northern Iraq and Shiite-on-Shiite-Muslim violence in southern Iraq.
Instead, he suggested, Iraq’s armed factions and politicians already are thinking beyond the troop buildup.
"Everyone is preparing for what happens" after U.S. forces leave, said James Denselow, an Iraq specialist at the London-based Chatham House, a foreign affairs research institute.
In my eyes this is an end point of the beginning of success in Iraq. Petreaus has things moving in the right direction, sectarian violence is being directed inward as more Iraqi citizens reject the sectarian violence and AIG.
I see "beyond the surge" as code for after the US leaves Iraq which brings us full circle, in liberal minds, as dealing with a civil war which is bs. Liberals refuse to deal with Syria and Iran in their equations of Iraq, just as they did with Russia and China in Vietnam.
For a bonus read the comments. There are some beauts, especially those that see this as a "cheerleading" piece for the White House. Yep, at McClatchy, that'd be a given.

Woody and Man At Ohio State

To that end, and now that the season is about 10 days from getting serious and Big Ten TV will be out of the way, we need to get in the right frame of mind.

The man who became simply known as "The Old Man" was born February 14, 1913 in Clifton, Ohio. He grew up in a small town called Newcomerstown, graduated from Denison and coached at Denison and Miami of Ohio before coming to Ohio State. Over his career, he amassed a 238-72-10 record and 205-61-10 in the Big Ten. He won four national championships (five if you count the title given to OSU by the National Football Foundation in 1970), won 13 Big Ten titles, played in 8 Rose Bowls (including four straight from 72-75), produced 56 All-Americans, and had three Heisman Trophy winners, three Outland Trophy winners, two Lombardi Trophy winners, and some of the coaches that were assistants under him were Lou Holtz, Bo Schembechler, Rudy Hubbard, Bill Mallory, Earle Bruce, and Dave McClain.
Woody Hayes' quotes:
"Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach."
"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!"
"Anything easy ain't worth a damn!"
"Without winners, there wouldn't even be any god damned civilization."
"No, goddammit! We do NOT pull in and fill up. And I'll tell you exactly why we don't. It's because I don't buy one goddam drop of gas in the state of Michigan! We'll coast and PUSH this goddam car to the Ohio line before I give this state a nickel of my money!"
"I'm not trying to win a popularity poll. I'm trying to win football games. I don't like nice people. I like tough, honest people."
"I feel sometimes that the man upstairs sort of likes us. Maybe He was testing us, saying, 'Let's see what kind of people are at Ohio State. Do they take defeat lightly? Can they come back from adversity?'"
"Perfect preparation prevents piss-poor performance."
"Football is about the only unifying force left in America today. It is certainly one of the few places in our society where teamwork, mental discipline, and the value of hard work still mean anything. We stick to the old-fashioned virtues, and if the rest of the country had stuck to them, it would have been a different story in Vietnam."
"There's one thing that worries me about our lifestyle and civilization today. We're too often talking bad about ourselves. This, as far as I'm concerned, hurts us more than everything else put together."
"The problem comes from people believing they have too many rights, and the word 'rights' to them means acting like an idiot."
"Now I want to tell you that people need friends. I visited an old friend today, Dick Nixon. Right now, he has no friends. Nobody wants to be friends with him, but I am still Dick's friend. Dick can count on Woody. Woody will be there for Dick Nixon."
"We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan."
About Woody Hayes:
"Woody was the original Rush Limbaugh. There were no ifs, ands, or buts; he was right-wing for God and country. He was proud to be an American, and he instilled that in his players."--Tim Fox
"If I had to go into a battle and I needed someone loyal and courageous to cover my blindside, I know damn well Woody would be my man. I know, too, that God hasn't created a more generous, compassionate, or more understanding man than Woody Hayes."--Jack Tatum
"Woody studied the whole race issue. He came to camp in '68 and sat us down and told us we were not going to have any problems. We're going to play like a team. We looked at each other a lot differently then. From that point on, the race issue was devoid on our team. He put it to rest."--Dave Whitfield
"We had more personal contact with Woody Hayes than with any other faculty member outside of the classroom. I know of no other faculty member than Coach Hayes who made personal visits to students in their residences in order to inspire their pursuits of academic excellence."--Fred C. Sweeney, OSU student
"He was a legend in his own time. He taught me football, but more importantly, he taught me more about life than anybody else."--Lou Holtz
"Divorce, no. Murder, yes."—Anne Hayes
"Though his tenure at Ohio State spanned the turbulent years of the Civil Rights Movement, the only colors that ever mattered to Hayes were OSU's scarlet and gray; black and white were irrelevant."--Paul Hornung
"Coach Hayes truly epitomized what a head coach should be. He worked hard. He was a perfectionist. He was a true patriot. He was a true Ohioan."--Paul Warfield
"Woody is one of the greatest leaders our country has ever produced."--General Lewis Walt, Marine Corps commandant
Nixon recalled, "I wanted to talk about football and Woody wanted to talk about foreign policy. And you know Woody. We talked about foreign policy."
"Woody is a God-fearing man. It's good to know that he's afraid of somebody." --Archie Griffin
My father also told me about one practice where a great big 300+ pound guy wasn't giving it his all. Woody walked up to him and had a quiet and private conversation with this player who had to bend way over to hear. The player straightened up and practiced like a mad man the rest of the day. Everyone was impressed.
After practice when asked about it Woody said, "I explained that I kept a WWII bayonet in my office and that if he was going to play like a cheerleader, I'd fix him up so he could be a cheerleader. He must've believed me."
Much of this came from Bucknuts and Buckeyes and Sabermetrics, two great sites.
I like George W. Bush and I like Jim Tressel, but neither are quote kings. Heck, I don't even know what Coach Tressel's answers mean most of the time.
To that end, and now that the season is about 10 days from getting serious and Big Ten TV will be out of the way, we need to get in the right frame of mind.
