47 years ago today, Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes punched Clemson defensive tackle Charlie Bauman in the throat after Bauman had intercepted an Ohio State pass during the 1978 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. His own players had to drag him away. The legendary coach was fired the next day. And yes, I was watching the game in horror. | Terry Cowgill

OHIO STATE'S 2ND GREATEST MOMENT! THE WOODY HAYES PUNCH FROM THE 1978 GATOR BOWL, WHICH TURNED INTO THE PUNCH BOWL! PUNCH AWAY WOODY! Even back then, THE MEDIA DID NOT SEE THE EVIL OF THEE OHIO STATE! But everybody else did, including Clemson's Charlie Bauman, who got so much negative hate from WARPED BUCKEYE FANS, that Bauman had to change his name and move! Ohio State's GREATEST MOMENT is coming sometime, in 2024, when EVERYTHING COMES OUT ABOUT THIS COUP! | IT'S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERI
