Who doesn't love reminiscing about dominant victories over That Team Up North?
Many Buckeyes fans' fondest memories of Ohio State football come from wins over That Team Up North. It doesn't matter whether it's a narrow victory or a dominant one. Beating that team is a joy regardless.
That said, the dominant victories are particularly fun, and the 1961 Buckeyes certainly gave Buckeyes fans a memorable win over That Team Up North.
Woody Hayes had set the stage for the Buckeyes' run in 1961 two years earlier, when he guaranteed a championship in two years during a boosters' luncheon.
