Mike, I was with the Ohio State team that played Alabama in the 1978 Sugar Bowl. It was Woody Hayes against Bear Bryant. First (and only!) time those two coaching icons met on the field. I could tell a million stories about those times, but suffice it to say that Bear and his boys put a butt whoopin' on us to the tune of about 35-7. But it was a classic period of time, for sure, to be remembered for decades to come. I will always say, "Go Bucks", but that bowl game made me tired of hearing "Roll Tide"....
Is there a better game than college football?? I think not. My bride and I are headed into our 38th season this fall of season tickets for the Buckeyes in Columbus, and every game day is just as thrilling as the first time I ran onto the field with my teammates in 1976.
Dave
