Hi Jim,

Zel sent this to me. Maybe you have seen it before? It sounded like something you would enjoy reading.

Phyllis

This was written to Dennis Dood of ESPN! I am not sure why he went public with the story when he was specifically asked not to, but it is pretty incredible.


This is an amazing story from Bill who grew up in Columbus, Ohio as Woody Hayes' paper boy. It is apropos of my Monday story on future Big Ten divisional alignment.

From: Bill

Dennis, I like your thinking on this. This has been one of my big worries about a Big Ten Championship Game. I have always worried it will make the OSU-Michigan game lose its luster. I know Michigan is down but they will come back in time. This seems to be a great way to make sure it doesn't. I also wanted to share a story about "The Game" and what it has meant to me over the years.

Growing up in Upper Arlington two streets over from where Woody lived was very special. I was also his paper boy for four years. Back then Columbus had two newspapers -- the Columbus Citizen Journal and the Columbus Dispatch. The CJ was the early morning paper and this was the one I delivered. Coach would be waiting for the paper every morning as I delivered it at 6. If the paper was late coach was not in a very good mood. It didn't matter if it was my fault or the paper's fault. His quote was always the same, "Damn it Billy, where is my paper?" I always got a chuckle out of coach bitching about the paper being late.

All through high school I still kept in touch with coach. I would stop by and say hello and ask about the team. Even after he was fired and I had left for college I would stop in and see him when I was home at break. Coach was a very big fan of military history. When I left for the Marine Corps he gave me an hour-long history lecture of the history of the USMC. One of his best friends was General Lewis Walt who at one time was commandant of the Marine Corps. Coach told me about his visits to Vietnam in the late 60s and 70s.

When coached passed away in March of 1987 I was stationed in Central America. My parents were still in Florida for the winter and Mrs. Hayes got a hold of my mom. Mrs. Hayes wanted to make sure I made it back for the funeral. My mom explained that I was overseas and she really didn't know how to get a hold of me fast.

At the time I was doing drug interdiction missions all over Central and South America. I would be out for 30 days at a time and in for two weeks. Mrs. Hayes told my mom she would take care of that problem.

Another one of coach's best friends was Richard Nixon. In fact he gave the eulogy at coach's funeral. Mrs. Hayes called Richard Nixon, who called President Regan's office, who called the commandant of the Marine Corps Office, who called US Central Command in Tampa. I was in the field at the time and I received a radio message that my team was to be extracted. When my helicopter landed I was met by my commanding officer who told me there was a death in my family and I needed to be sent home. He did not know the details but in an hour they put me on a Navy jet to McDill AFB in Tampa. When I got off the jet a Marine full bird colonel was waiting on me.

Now, in the Marine Corps a full bird colonel is god. I could not imagine why a full bird was waiting on me. He came up to me and asked me how I knew Richard Nixon. I told him I didn't and that he must have me mixed up with someone else. I told him I was going home for a death in family. I still had no information on who had passed away. The colonel explained to me that coach had passed way and Richard Nixon had made some calls to get me home for the funeral. They put me on another jet and I flew back to Columbus landing at OSU Airport.

When I landed there was a car waiting for me. The door opens and it's Bo Schembechler. The pilots of the Navy Jet get out of the plane and have him sign autographs. I am in shock. We get back to the Hayes house on Cardiff Rd. My parents aren't back from Florida yet and Mrs. Hayes wanted me to stop by. I am sitting at the kitchen table with Bo, Richard Nixon, and Mrs. Hayes. I am in uniform and Mrs. Hayes says, "Billy would you would like a glass of milk." Bo looks at me, then at President Nixon and says to Mrs. Hayes, "Ann, I think Billy needs something stronger than a glass of milk." I thought Richard Nixon was going to have a heart attack right there on the spot.

That is my connection to "The Game". I have not shared this story with one soul. Can't tell you why, I guess I wanted to keep it for myself. I know you're a reporter but I would appreciate if you kept it to yourself. I wanted to share it with you because covering the Big Ten you know the history and meaning of the OSU-Michigan game.

Another note from Jack Plymale with my reply

Believe it, Mr. Plymale. I enjoy your barbs. You cannot grow up in Mound Park in Portsmouth Ohio and have thin skin.

I would venture to say the same about you Mabert Road people. Our God has taken Don Lundy, my brother-in-law and great friend from us, but Don was a Wayne Hills-nurtured guy who established and maintained his respect as a human being and a distinguished Portsmouth Times Sports Editor.

If God made anything better than people like you, Doc and Jim, Ray, Lemon (Bugs), and Gib, he must have kept it in Heaven. Thankfully He sent Jesus to earth for sinners like us even.

I quit freshman football and played freshman basketball until the very last week. Dan Dailey, our freshman manager, told me that Pat Mitchell told him he was ready to use me. He put me in one game, I made one bucket, a long two-feet-from-the-basket one, and the game ended with our wide-margin victory over a county league reserve team. I never missed a shot in a game. I spent most practices shooting lay-ups from the left side. I just couldn't coordinate taking off from the right foot tto use the left hand so well. We didn't have to do that in the Highland School yard games I terrorized- please forgive that awful analogy.

By the bye, Mr. Plymale, You must know some people from the class of 1950. We are having our sixtieth reunion at Shawnee Lodge next weekend, 27th and 28th. Give me some words to salute these wonderful survivors who are now the young 76-78 crowd. We always thought that our classmate Ron Plymale was a relative of yours, but you told me that isn't so.

This also will be added into my blog- www.skegley.blogspot.com .

Your urchin friend and admirer of all of the tremendous Trojan warriors. While you guys practiced, I was out, very bashfully, chasing the beautiful girls of the P'Town area.

Thought you might like to read this letter to the editor of a British national newspaper. Ever notice how some people just seem to know how to write a letter?.
Written by a housewife, to her daily newspaper. This is one ticked off lady.


'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York Sept 11/2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?


Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London, and in downtown Manhattan , and in a field in Pennsylvania ?


Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?


And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.


I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.


I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan


I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.


I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.


I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.



I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.


In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:


I don't care.


When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:


I don't care.


When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:


I don't care.


And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! you guessed it ......


I don't care!!


If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour!


If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add:


'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. Our soldiers don't have that problem.'


I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this.


Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:


1. Jesus Christ


2. The British Soldier.


3. The Canadian Soldier.


4. The US Soldier, and


5. The Australian Soldier


One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.




YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ABOUT ALL OF THEM.


AMEN!

Subject: What happens in Heaven?




WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?



This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:





I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."



I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.



Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.



The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.



Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.



"How is it that there is no work going on here? " I asked.



"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."



"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked.



"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."



"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.



"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."



"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."



"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."



"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world."



"If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world."





"If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare."



"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair......."



Ok, what now? How can I start?



If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.



Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.



ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.



"Thank you, Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it."



If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been blessed with, how can you not send it on??? I thank God for everything, especially all my family and friends.

I have not seen this one before; it’s very touching. Perhaps you have seen it. You may do with it what you wish.





You are in your car driving home. Thoughts wander to the game you want to see or meal you want to eat, when suddenly a sound unlike any you've ever heard fills the air. The sound is high above you. A trumpet? A choir? A choir of trumpets? You don't know, but you want to know.... So you pull over, get out of your car, and look up.. As you do, you see you aren't the only curious one. The roadside has become a parking lot. Car doors are open, and people are staring at the sky.. Shoppers are racing out of the grocery store. The Little League baseball game across the street has come to a halt. Players and parents are searching the clouds And what they see, and what you see, has never before been seen.

As if the sky were a curtain, the drapes of the atmosphere part.... A brilliant light spills onto the earth... There are no shadows... None.



From every hue ever seen and a million more never seen.. Riding on the flow is an endless fleet of angels. They pass through the curtains one myriad at a time, until they occupy every square inch of the sky.

North.. South. East... West.



Thousands of silvery wings rise and fall in unison, and over the sound of the trumpets, you can hear the cherubim and seraphim chanting, "Holy, Holy, Holy..." The final flank of angels is followed by twenty-four silver-bearded elders and a multitude of souls who join the angels in worship.

Suddenly, the heavens are quiet. All is quiet. The angels turn, you turn, the entire world turns and there He is.... Jesus.



Through waves of light you see the silhouetted figure of Christ the King. He is atop a great stallion, and the stallion is atop a billowing cloud. He opens his mouth, and you are surrounded by his declaration:

"I am the Alpha and the Omega."



The angels bow their heads... The elders remove their crowns...

And before you is a Figure so consuming that you know, instantly you know: Nothing else matters... Forget stock markets and school reports: Sales meetings and football games.. Nothing is newsworthy.. . All that mattered, matters no more.. For Christ has come.

Please let me know the exact time you read this. It is mystical--honest.

This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven, he saw me, and he asked: "My child, what is your greatest wish for today?"



I responded: 'Lord please; take care of my family, my friends, the person who is reading this message, their family and their special friends. They deserve it and I love them very much.'



The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end.

This message works on the day you receive it.



To some it may sound dumb, but the person who sent this to me was impressed with its timing. Let us see if it is true.



ANGELS EXIST, but sometimes, since they don't all have wings we call them FRIENDS, SUCH AS YOU.



Pass it on to 20 of your true friends and family. SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY. SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR.



THIS IS NOT A JOKE; SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU BY PHONE OR WILL SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE WAITING TO HEAR. DO NOT BREAK THIS EMAIL . SEND IT TO A MINIMUM OF 20 PEOPLE.



Put the Date and Time in the 'Subject' area when you read it.

JWR_ Sometime everyone is a dolt- Thanks Judi!

Obama reminds us it's all about the motive



By Dave Weinbaum





http://www.JewishWorldReview.com
Sometime or another, everyone is a dolt—even presidents.





Go through the list—all 44-- and you'll have a handful of what you consider to be morons and malcontents. But with the exception of a few, Barack Hussein Obama is the top-ranked of POTUS who intentionally try to destroy their country in order to make the USA the Socialist Capital of the world.





Other anti-Constitutional Socialist presidents were League of Nations lover and ironically, white supremacist, Woodrow Wilson and new dealer, Supreme Court manipulator and dictator wannabe, FDR.





Here are some recent examples of presidential error:









Richard Nixon had price controls, his inexplicably stupid Watergate cover-up, followed by his enemy lists.



Jimmy Carter mishandled EVERYTHING, from energy to Ayatollahs to the economy. He was one lost boy in that office. Even today, most Democrats shun him.



Even Ronnie, my personal fav, withdrew from common sense when he failed to respond to the murder of 241 US Marines bombed to death by Hezbollah in 1983. He did nothing to retaliate, thus sending all sorts of messages to the radical Muslim murderers, unlike the one that he used to bring down the USSR .



Senior Bush brought to a halt the unopposed toppling of Saddam within hours of Baghdad . He bowed to UN phonies. His quitting sealed the fate of thousands of Iraqis killed for helping us, leaving Junior to deal with his mess 10 years later.



Clinton consistently mishandled Islamic fanatic attacks, starting with the first murderous strike on the WTC, to the Khobar Towers assault, to the bombed out Kenyan Embassy, to the Cole ambush, to the declaration of war against America , Israel , all Christians and Jews including men women and children. The latter was in the form of a Fatwah by Osama bin Laden. What MORE does a president need to know that we're at war? Instead, Clinton pandered to polls when Osama was offered up on a silver platter no less than 10 times, indicting him instead.



Dubya tried to buy off the libs with his excessive spending and Teddy Kennedy movie nights at the WH. Gee, how did THAT work out? Bush also called the coming sub-prime crisis early on, criticizing the Dems that originated this scam and were perpetuating it. Despite Bush's control of the bully pulpit, Repub control of Congress and special prosecutor appointment powers of the DOJ, he did little to rock the boat that came to sink the economy in late 2008, bringing in the empty suit we have as our current president.



Even President Lincoln chose his Civil War Generals poorly, changing them often before settling on Ulysses S. Grant. But nobody doubted HIS patriotism or loyalty to the United States .





Nixon and Clinton come closest to an aberration of motive. I view their abuses of power to be self-serving to cover their own arses and not an intentional overturning of the American system. Clinton does come pretty close however, with his and Hillary's failed HC ploy.





Obama's multitude of campaign lies, hidden background and his reverting back to his associations like America haters and race baiters, Wright and Farrakhan indicate his deep-seated hatred for most of America 's history. The longest affiliation of his adult life was to ACORN and unions, hardly supporters of capitalism. Need I remind Obama shoved through all of the below:









Un-stimulating stimulus's throwing us into unsustainable debt.



The largest tax increase ever in 3.5 months in a horrible economy.



Immigration and Obamacare battles with the states



Apologies to the enemies of America -a reach-out to Muslims that actually has made the Islamic world hate the USA more than it did under Bush.



Dissing long-time friends Britain, Israel, Poland and Czechoslovakia .



The appointment of self-admitted Communists and Socialists to powerful czar positions, many w/o the scrutiny of Congress or the recognition of the press.



Encouraging joblessness with inane economic policies similar to FDR's dragging the country through a 12 year depression and a large increase in his power.



Finally, Obama's dictate that the Ground Zero middle finger of a Mosque be built because of "freedom of religion," at a Ramadan dinner, illuminates his un-American beliefs and his tone-deafness to common sense. This taking place a mere 83 days before fall elections shows he cares not for his fellow citizens, unless they are fanatics, union leaders or sycophants.





If Obama's motives are bad, then what means will he use to accomplish what he and his dwindling hard-core backers want?





I think he's already planning to stalemate with a majority of Repubs in Congress.





But the 2012 elections could see some ostentatious shenanigans.
