Best memory is watching the players on the sidelines signaling to Woody Hayes and the Ohio State sidelines that Sam was going to go over the top and they still couldn't stop him.

It drove my mom nuts but she was about as able to stop me as Ohio St was able to stop Sam. AD1974 and Gilesmiles like this.

Unfortunately I was also at the RB the following year. I almost remember it more because it was so unpleasant. Woody returned the favor in a big way on a very gloomy day.
