None are more revered in Ohio State lore than legendary head coach Wayne Woodrow Hayes.
Woody led the Buckeyes from 1951-1978, winning 276 games including five national championships. Coach Hayes was known for his fiery personality and for helping bring the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry to new levels.
Woody passed away in 1987, but his legacy lives on. Someone decided long ago to do something unique to help keep that legacy alive by keeping the coach’s home phone number active. You can actually give the old 614 number a call and hear a message from Hayes himself.
Go ahead and give it a try. Call 614-488-1910 to hear from Woody himself. We did give the number a call and can confirm this is real, however, be warned some have said they get an “all circuits are busy” message due to a high call volume. But keep trying and you’ll eventually hear the legendary voice.
Ryan Vesler, founder of Homage, tracked down Woody’s old number and it now plays a pump up speech from Woody before a Michigan game. He’s a legend for this. (614) 488-1910 @MrOH1O @Bucknuts247 @305Buckeye @BuckeyeFett @priestas pic.twitter.com/OKjfu3NIw0
