Bob Hunter has been a sportswriter at the Columbus Dispatch for the last thirty-four years and covered Woody Hayes’s final two years of coaching (1977–1978) as a football beat writer. In 2009 he was voted best sports columnist in Ohio by the Associated Press. The coauthor of The Buckeyes: A Story of Ohio State Football (1982) and author of Chic: The Extraordinary Rise of Ohio State Football and the Tragic Schoolboy Athlete Who Made It Happen (2008) and Buckeye Basketball (1981), he lives in Westerville, Ohio.

“Woody Hayes was bigger than life and remains so to many Ohio State fans. Bob Hunter, a perceptive and objective observer of the Buckeyes for more than three decades, also reveals the iconic coach, still revered a quarter century after his death, as so much more.”-Rusty Miller, retired Ohio sports editor, Associated Press “A big part of college football is the lore, and few schools are richer in it than Ohio State. In Saint Woody, veteran Columbus sports columnist Bob Hunter details the sung and unsung men, games, and controversies that make Buckeyes football a magnificent obsession for millions. If you ever wondered if Woody really went for two against Michigan ‘because they wouldn't let me go for three’ or how snowy was the Snow Bowl, this is the book for you.”-Bill Livingston, sports columnist, Cleveland Plain Dealer “Even the most expert of Buckeye fans will learn more about Ohio State football, Woody Hayes, and others connected to the great tradition than they knew before opening Bob’s book!”-Paul Keels, play-by-play announcer, Ohio State–IMG Radio Network
