"Because I couldn't go for three!"

In the 1968 OSU-Michigan game OSU won 50-14 (or something like that; I am sure of the 50. It is the 14 I can't remember. It was a blow out). OSU scored to make the score 48-14.....and Woody went for two! People thought he was rubbing it in...and he was. He hated Michigan with a white hot passion. He ALWAYS rooted against Michigan; even the Rose Bowl. None of this "conference" crap like now ("SEC! SEC! chants at games).

There was a good documentary on Woody in the mid 1970s---it might have been done by NFL films. They showed him talking to his team in the locker room about the dangers of parties and marijuana. It was a hoot.
