Woody v. Bo: The Ten Year War 

As an Ohio St fan, this is the best rivalry ever of all sports. No one realizes how intense these matchups between Bo and Woody were. Love seeing these historical videos like these.

Those 10 years provided us with some great football. Every year, I couldn't wait to see these games on TV. Great memories of some great football.

Great history. The greatest football rivalry ever, Go Blue!

Alabama fan here but also a college football fan and I loved this video outstanding

Classic. This is why college football is much more fun than NFL.

Two great coaches

This video should be released in DVD, BluRay format!

Thank you Ethan. I miss those times, but my gosh, here we are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!! CONGRATULATIONS TO COACH HARBAUGH, SHRONE, MINTER, JAY, AND ALL THE REST OF THE COACHES, STAFF, PLAYERS, FAMILIES, ALUMNI AND FANS.

"There's an old saying that I learned from the coach at Ohio State, and that was 'when people say a lot of nice things about you, look out.'" These words really ring true this year in Michigan. I liked being the underdog, and all that hype about blowing through TCU didn't sit right with me. Hype never wins games, heart does.

I had the privilege to see them coach when I was a student at Michigan. Great gentleman and coaches both!

What a great video to find the night before the 2023 game. Go Blue!!!! RIP Bo & RIP Woody

Battle of the college football coaches titans woody hayes vs bo schembechler, love both of them

I love Bo. He did so much for Michigan and help create the Bo Schembechler Heart of a Champion Research Fund.

Seeing Woody's face as he looks at that Michigan State sign just priceless

Long live Woody Hayes!

Terrific film spawning some wonderful memories. The respectful banter between these two giant powerhouses was extremely enjoyable. Thank you so much.

As a MSU fan i really appreciate this and these two coaches

I was 10 years old in 1969 and that Michigan Ohio State game was the first college football I saw on television. 27:50: Incredible. 30-2-1 over 3 years and no bowl games. Loved the sit-down between the two coaches at the end.

Whats really remarkable is that Bo and Woody were lifelong friends. Woody was so upset with Bo when he left and went to TTUN. It didn't end the friendship however the rivalry did get even more intense.

Love this video! Makes you realize why this rivalry is one if not the best in all of sports

I remember my 1st Michigan Ohio state game. One of the band members was dressed as Woody and imitated him breaking up the side line markers which made the Michigan stadium go wild.

I’m not kidding when I say I watched this VHS from the age of 4 more than any movie until probably age 10. Always made me kinda like Woody even as a diehard Michigan fan.

I remember my uncle had this. That man absolutely HATED Michigan and was obsessed with OSU and Woody Hayes

What a great ending...Bo and Woody sitting together talking like the friends that they were!

My dad was at the 69 game, he said the whole student section was drunk on schnapps and high on 'grass', as they called it then.

Greatest opening I've ever seen

Woody said the '69 team had no weakness...well clearly they did. Special teams!! They couldn't even convert on their first 2 PATs?? Lol

Great video. Brings back fond memories.

_Get 'er done Maize & Blue!_ Looking for *THREE IN A ROW!*

Love you Bo.

My first rivalry game was Ricky Leach's freshman year whe the Buckeyes scored two late tds to beat UM. Heartbreaking!!

So wholesome

Always thought woody was a jerk but he did make the rivalry fun! Go blue!

First play of the game in '69 Kern runs for 25 yards, easily and without limping. Give it a rest, Woody; your guy wasn't hurt. ("He could hardly walk when he woke up Saturday morning.") You got rolled.

Two coachs with a great rivalry

august 16 2022 ........ ethan ...thanks .......terrific story ........remember paul at waren harding hs .....

Florida State would feel Bo’s pain in 2023. At least the ACC had FSU’s back.

Anyone have any info about this documentary, how old is it?

Archie looks like the first modern running back

While I still think it's the best rivalry in sports, I think the "respect" for the rivalry has, in my opinion, exited. While "hating" the rival used to be said a bit "tongue in cheek", it's now real. I'm a Buckeye who used to go to some games in Ann Arbor. I would never go anymore. The behaviors have become coarse, vulgar, and physically threatening. I'm sure some Wolverines feel the same about Columbus. I think the respect ended that night in 2006 when I saw most of Ohio Stadium in tears during the tribute to Bo, who died the day before.

Dang Coach Duffy is 3-5 against both of them during the war (1969-1972) Michigan: 1969 Ohio State: 1971 1972

The game had passed hayes up by 1970. He had more talent but was outcoached. I was glad to see him go.

This is the only proper way to start the College football season. Go Blue!

They really were true friends.

HEY; I know Coach Schembechler's record against Woody was 5 - 4 - 1. But does anyone know what Bo Schembechler's Overall record against Ohio States was the 20 Years he Coached there ? Any info would be much appreciated. Thank You.

As good as these two teams were, neither one of them could have beaten the 1969 Texas team. The right school was the consensus #1.

Back then, Michigan and Ohio State would battle it out to see who would play in the Rose Bowl only to get stomped by USC.

"Officials that can make mistakes like that will NEVER WORK FOR ME AGAIN." Well doesn't that just say it all. Woody was too full of pride. He was a good coach in a talent rich state that would scare everybody...except Bo. Maybe a teaspoon of humility would've been a helpful remedy for the old coach but his pride kept him from seeing that losing his temper in public could cost him. Acting like tearing up the sideline markers was somehow justified is beyond comprehension. Eventually this all led up to his ultimate demise culminated by the punching of the Clemson player. Too bad he was a condescending, prideful figure whose memory will always be tainted because of it. He had great teams but his disrespect and disdain for Michigan will always be the calling card for which he is remembered along with that long shadow of entitlement which resides deeply within the psyche of all buckeye fans to this day. Other than that, I loved growing up in that era and learning to live and die during The Game.

Man, I'm a buckeye fan,but in 1974 lantry made that last field goal.This film clearly showed the ball go through the goal posts and then drifted left.

Go for 3 Woody

I wonder how much money Art Schlicter bet on the big game.....And which school he bet on.

2022

17:08 wasn’t PI. Dude just made a play on the ball lol.

25:50 A team getting screwed by a committee because of an injured QB, sounds familiar.

17:40 says it all about ohio game plan against Michigan.

56:08

Jim B looks like a thinner version of Chris Christie. After Crispy loses 200 lbs.

Wasn't Michigan State a terror in the 60's?

42-27 Meeeeeeeechigan!

Is Bo the best thing to come out of Ohio?

If Woody Hayes hadn't been cheating, he would not have won a single game against Bo.

At 23:08 a Masonic Lodge handshake.

Go bucks brah

It's no longer a "Rivalry" it's just child abuse now. OSU last 8 wins.

Sometimes having the ability too watch football is just like having freedom for a Army veteran having access too healthcare at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Spokane, Washington for my younger brother with the first name of Juan. Let's hope the individuals watching this game aren't black like my sibling Juan who was almost body slammed by security officials while a member of the United States Congress watched with a smile on his face.

😑

WOODY! Who won the war? HAYES did. Keep this in mind at all times!

😂many great rivalries in college football 🏈 not the greatest at all !

Bo beats Ohio state year one. 6 years later we still waiting for Harbaugh to win against them. What a joke.

Bo won the ten year war Soddy got banned from coaching for throwing a temper tantrum like a 3 year old haha GO BLUE !!

Well, Well, Well, All these years they made Woody out to be the bad guy. I'm not a fan of either team but Woody was passionate but Bo turns out was a POS.

Gator fan but Bo looked better in scarlet and grey lol

1971,1972,1973 I was a teenager. The Ten Year War. Was 3 runs and a punt. Straight runs up the middle. Very little passing. It was The Ten Year Bore ! I don't know where these colleges got the idea to call that ten years anything special. BOOOOORING !

Too much joking and reminiscing. Get to the old man fight, Bo, Woody. Either that or take your clothes off. Then you know what to do with that baby oil. I came here for a show, and I will get my show...damnit I've been watching too much Eric Andre again. I'm sorry people.

Considering Bo protected a pervert forever. Woody wins by default..

Been a Michigan fan since 2009, love looking back and learning about what’s made the rivalry so intense in the past. Hopefully both teams are undefeated again going into The Game this season too. Go Blue! 🟡🔵
