COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) - It's Rivalry Week, with Ohio State preparing to face Michigan, and fans can dial a number for a game-day speech from a former OSU football coach. Fans can call the old Upper Arlington home phone number of Woody Hayes and hear an amped-up speech from the person who coached the Buckeyes from 1951 to '78 ahead of the second-ranked Buckeyes playing the Wolverines on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The number is 614-488-1910, and the speech appears to be a pregame talk from Hayes, who died in 1987. Ohio State quarterback Rex Kern and coach Woody Hayes confer during the game with Michigan in Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 23, 1968. Others are unidentified.

Vesler got the rights to the number and made it happen to where you can call and listen to the speech. When listening to the message, Hayes mentions the team that will win the ballgame will boil down to three things, ending the speech with, "Let's go out and do it!" Hayes went 16-11-1 against Michigan, a period that included the Ten Year War after the Wolverines hired a former Hayes assistant, Bo Schembechler, as their coach. Hayes went 4-5-1 in those games.
