Here we have Bob Ufer chatting with legendary WJR morning voice J.P. McCarthy on what I assume is the Monday (11/26/73) after the infamous vote by the Big Ten athletic directors following Michigan and Ohio State’s epic 10-10 tie.
The 6-4 vote sent Woody and the Buckeyes to Pasadena and Ufer wants names:
Turncoats!
Here’s the breakdown:
MICHIGAN (4)
* Don Canham (Michigan)
* Bump Elliott (Iowa)
* Bill Orwig (Indiana – former Michigan hoops and football player and assistant coach).
* Paul Giel (Minnesota – said he voted for Michigan).
OHIO STATE (6)
* Ed Weaver (Ohio)
* Cecil Coleman (Illinois)
* Tippy Dye (Northwestern)
* George King (Purdue)
* Elroy Hirsch (Wisconsin – played for Michigan via the V12 program from 1943-44)
* Bert Smith (Michigan State – U-M graduate)
Thanks to Dr. Sap for pulling this out of the archives.

Another Burt Smith faux pas was building Munn Arena too small. Not remembered as a great AD.
