More jokes that are worth a chuckle regardless of one's biases
Or so I thought:
It is late in the OSU-Michigan game on an overcast day. Michigan has the ball on the OSU 3, with 2 seconds left, and down 14-10. There is time for one more play.Lloyd Carr calls timeout. As the team is coming to the sideline, Lloyd looks to the heavens and says, "God - I've been a good man. A churchgoing man. I've tried to do what's right and I've never asked you for anything. But, this is a big game and if I could get a little guidance, I would be forever grateful".
The clouds part, sun shines on Lloyd and he hears a voice bellow "I Right 39 Pitch Trap".
Lloyd can't believe it! God himself gave him the play! It'll work for sure. The team comes to the sideline and Lloyd excitedly gives them the play. The timeout ends and the teams come back on the field. Lloyd can barely contain his excitement - he's going to win.
Play resumes and the ball is snapped. The Michigan QB pitches to the back. For a split second, there's a hole - which is quickly filled by AJ Hawk, who tackles the Michigan back short of the goal line.
Time expires and Ohio State players storm the field to celebrate. Lloyd is in shock - he can't believe the play didn't work. Lloyd looks to the heavens and cries, "God - why did you call THAT play?"
God looks down, shrugs, turns to his right and says, "Woody - why did we call that play?"

From my die-hard OSU fan
From my die-hard OSU fan mother:
"The weird thing is, having lived in Columbus when Woody was in full flower, I can imagine
that scene really happening!"
Back in the day, when I lived
Back in the day, when I lived about 3 blocks from Woody's house, I was surrounded by people who, like me, could see something like that really happening.
That was a simpler time, when my nightly haunt, Ledo's, had a patron who'd come in off the street on Fridays and do Woody impersonations. Good ones. And they were good even before he got Woody glasses, a Woody haircut, and started dressing like Woody. Compared to "Steve, the Woody impersonator", your mom could probably be classified as a disinterested observer.
