OHIO STATE STORY

A local man who attended Ohio State University when their legendary
football coach Woody Hayes was head coach there told this story.

He said many believed Coach Hayes was arrogant and had a superiority
complex, which prompted this joke.

A man died and went to Heaven and Saint Peter was giving him a tour of
the Holy City. During the tour, the man said, “ I have a question. Who is
that self-important looking guy standing over there wearing the Ohio
State cap.” St. Peter said, “Oh, That’s God trying to act like Woody
Hayes!”
