A hachett job on Coach Woody
The disdain that Vare had for Woody Hayes is apparent in almost every chapter. The book is interesting for the historical perspective and context as it was written in the 1970s but do not expect much more than that. Unlike a fine wine, this book has not aged very well.

The best book ever written on Ohio State Football!
This book illustrates truly how bad Coach Hayes wanted to win. In-depth coverage of the preparation for the "Big Game" show how hard Coach Hayes wanted to win it. "Buckeye" takes you through all the blowouts of the 1973 season and the heartbreak of the 10-10 tie with "the team up north". I think that Robert Vare did a great job in proving that Columbus is a Buckeye Football city. Every Buckeye fan should read this book to really appreciate who Woody Hayes was and how he took Ohio State Football from the bottom of the Big 10 in 1951 to the top of the nation in the 1970's.

All the Stuff you've ever wanted to know about Coach Hayes.
I found myself unable to put this book down the second I started reading it. The detail in which it desrcibes the Ohio State Football program under Coach Woody Hayes is remarkable. This book is a must for any and all Ohio State Buckeye fans.
