I came across a pretty interesting interview with former Buckeye assistant coach and associate athletic director Bill Myles. The highlight, of course, was this Woody story:
He had sugar diabetes. When they would pass around the desert tray, he would say he didn’t want a desert. But he would pick out deserts for everyone at the table. He would say, “The key lime pie is very good. Their raisin pie is very good. This kind of cake is very good.†And he would get all these people to get all these different things. And then he would take a bite off of them. And then he would tell us the next day, when you would try to refuse it, he had discipline about himself. He didn’t take a desert. But he ordered everybody’s so he could get a piece.

Woody was one of a kind.... G-d rest his soul!
[ ] interesting story
There is a good article in the USA Today where they interviewed Rex Kern (Hall of Fame Class of 2008). He reflects on some memories he had with Woody, nothing we haven't heard before, but it was a good read.
You missed out on the obvious title for the article: "The Sweet Side of Woody".
