2. Because Stoops is part of the Youngstown Mafia?

That is all that I can come up with.

3. Sorry. Forgot about him...

and of course the Hood family with a native from our hometown...



Adding:

Hood’s illustrious career grew out of his early playing experiences at his high school in Mentor, Ohio, followed by a successful performance as an Ohio Wesleyan offensive lineman.

“I felt that I needed to play before I could coach later on,” recalls Hood. That experience and his strong academic preparation, including a physical education major and teaching certification, enabled him to teach and coach successfully at Ashland High School, Olmstead Falls High School, Defiance High School, and Cuyahoga Falls High School over a ten-year span of time.

“Then, Lee Tressel, head coach at Baldwin-Wallace College, invited me to be his assistant football coach, and I made the move,” says Hood, who spent six years with that program. “And that was when I got the itch to be a head coach!”

Hood moved on to Colgate University, then a Division I school, but his stay there was interrupted by Tressel’s phone call about a coaching position that had opened up at Ohio Northern University. Tressel had recommended his protégé for the job. And once Hood interviewed at the Ohio liberal arts college and accepted the offer, he stayed at Ohio Northern for the next 10 years.

4. There have been more than 19,000 votes cast in Ohio.

Far more than any other state.

Who is stuffing this poll?

5. ... and people whine about Ohio not letting people vote.

6. A La lives in West Virginia. So it ain't her.

Is there an Okie player from Ohio with a really big family?

7. Well, you have always wondered about the Ace Reporter and his sidekick.
