Woody Hayes
Image
The only way we'd get beaten was if we got a little fat-headed, if we didn't train right, if we had dissension on the squad.
Woody Hayes
Image
The only thing even in this world is the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.
Woody Hayes
Image
