1968ƒ‚‚begins in the mens’ room of an exclusive Columbus restaurant and ends two years later in The Rose Bowl, an unwitting but flawless metaphor for Ohio State University’s rise to the pinnacle of college football. Against a backdrop of national turmoil and international crises, Coach Wayne Woodrow Hayes uncharacteristically brings into his lagging program new young coaches and an impressive bunch of extraordinary kids, including the first significant number of African-Americans. And just as Woody predicted, by the season’s end the Buckeyes found themselves a large, inextricably bound family, tied forever by the commonalities of blood‚”‚€‚”literally theirs‚”‚€‚”sweat, tears, laughter, and, of course, their near-miraculous season.
