Woody Hayes Had Turtle Bite His Penis to Demonstrate Toughness, According to Urban Meyer | The Big Lead
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>RT @<a href="https://twitter.com/tyduffy">tyduffy</a>: Woody Hayes Had Turtle Bite His Penis to Demonstrate Toughness, According to Urban Meyer <a href="http://t.co/zoVTcWEy" title="http://is.gd/IN0zmy">is.gd/IN0zmy</a></p>— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) <a href="https://twitter.com/BFeldmanCBS/status/301355864470724608">February 12, 2013</a></blockquote>

Urban Meyer spoke at the Ohio coaches convention. In part of his speech, which lasted more than an hour, he recounted this story about famed Ohio State coach Woody Hayes. Then head coach Earl Bruce brought Hayes in to speak to the coaching staff about toughness. He brought a live prop.

“He reaches down and grabs this box, slides the top and there was something in the box moving around. He reaches in and he pulls out this turtle. He reaches down, this turtle’s snapping and he says, ‘I’m going to show you toughness.’ He unzips his pants and takes out whatever he takes out. The turtle reaches up and snaps at him. You see the veins and the sweat (on Hayes). He screams at the coaches, ‘That’s toughness! That’s f’n toughness!’ He reaches down, pokes the turtle right in the eye and it falls off. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and says, ‘That’s the problem. We don’t have anybody in this room tough enough to do that right there.

“(One assistant) raises his hand and says, ‘Coach, I’d do this. Just promise not to poke me in the eye.’”

Michigan men may not be that tough. North of the border, whipping out your equipment around animals is frowned upon.

It's a joke, either that or UFM's memory is going bad because he told the same story last year to the same group except he said that it was Earl Bruce who had the turtle bite his manhood. Last year he claimed it was our buddy Tim Hinton who was the assistant coach that volunteered.

It's a funny joke, but when he speaks to the same group next year, he might want to get some new material, or at least tell the same story using the same characters to make it at least a little more believable.

I'm surprised he didn't say it was Percy Harvin that did it. F*cking Meyer.

Wait, so Percy Harvin was the turtle? And Urban Meyer was Woody Hayes? Or was it the other way around? If this happened during recruiting, that is a definite violation.

I would have never ever believed this story for one second if it weren't for Woody punching that Clemson kid in the throat.

Real toughness is Jimmy Stewart getting on an airplane and flying over 25 times over Germany when 75% didn't return.
Woody Hayse was a woose compared to him.

Woody punched Clemson LB Charlie Bauman in the throat at the '78 Gator Bowl after Bauman interecepted a Buckeye pass. (Woody was never a fan of passing.)

Woody's class is documented at the 12 second mark.

Hayes was appropriately fired the next day.

I remember SNL did a skit or two on the ordeal...Can't find any on youtube...but Belushi was Woody...so it was ok.

Woody punched someone else...it seems...think it was a press guy before he did the one that got him canned. Just gonna assume the press guy deserved it...hehehe.

I can't figure how you punch a kid like he did, and then NEVER apologize...go figure.

Woody had a long standing anger management issue demonstrated by events noted over a 22 year span in his Wiki file.

Woody Hayes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'56 Threw a punch at a sportswriter but missed and hit a sports editor instead.

'65 Tried to start a fist fight with Iowa's AD at a Big 10 Coaches/AD Meeting.

'71 Charged out on the field after an official to dispute a "no call" P.I. Tore up yard markers and had to be restrained by OSU officials. Ejected from game, fined, and suspended.

'73 Shoved cameraman in face. Fined $2k, suspended 3 games.

'77 Charged a cameraman. Ejected from game, fined, Probation from Big 10.

'78 Punched Clemson player. Got fired as football coach but remained OSU employee as ROTC faculty.

WoW...he was kinda out of control. Don't suppose we'll ever see another one with a "docier" like that...he'd be cooked after pretty much any one of those today.

Bet the Ohio state admin would have welcomed BK and "purple face" jokes...hehehe.

He was a sh1t stain of the first order. There was nothing good about that "man"....and I use that term loosely.

I don't say there was nothing good about him. He wasn't Satan. But I was never a fan of his and the Woody-worship here is pretty insane.

...I realize that is a dangerous deal if they get all offended...but that would have been an epic lifetime memory to lean on when you needed a laugh...Hell I'm laughing thinking about their faces...

Specials...Talapia, smoked salmon...red snapping turtle...or I mean red snapper.


I'm guessing they'd have laughed...
