The Dead Presidents

Posted on October 9, 2014October 9, 2014 by Steve Davis

Well the WBNS 10 TV Interview didn’t make the Urban Meyer Game Day Show last Saturday. Of course with the bye week, there is no show this weekend, so look for the segment maybe Saturday morning of the Rutgers game.

You can still see Coach on TV though. I am a little tardy getting it posted this week, but Mark Kunz, Asst. Sports Director, WTLW-TV 44.1/WOSN 44.2, is continuing his series of interviews with Coach Myles on his Sunday Evening Buckeye Insider Show. Check out Mark’s clip on “Conference Realignment” filmed last Saturday in Maryland’s Byrd Stadium, right before Mark and Mike Miller made the long drive back to Ohio. Click on the link below:

About the Authors

Bill Myles has lived a fascinating life in athletics, from segregated Kansas City and Negro Leagues Baseball, to an up and coming high school coach, and then an insider in the country’s most powerful College Football programs. Bill coached under the giants at Nebraska and Ohio State—Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Woody Hayes, and Earle Bruce. With a career record of 170 wins, 67 losses, 7 ties, and 8 Big Eight/Big Ten Championships, Bill coached in 14 college bowl games including the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta and Gator Bowls. Bill then served 22 years as Associate AD at Ohio State, in the biggest college athletic department in the country.

Steve Davis is a lifelong Buckeye Fan and a 1973 graduate of The Ohio State University. His first Ohio Stadium experience was the 1969 OSU win over Purdue, which propelled the Buckeyes to a National Championship. Davis was too small (and too slow!) to play for the Buckeyes, instead graduating from the OSU College of Agriculture Honors Program.
