That ‘splains it. 

Ohio State University athletics communication human Jerry Emig has sent out notice that Urban Meyer’s story about a turtle biting Buckeyes coaching legend Woody Hayes’ penis never happened. It was all a funny.

This note is in response to the headlines that are running on the internet that don’t seem to take into consideration that Coach Meyer told a JOKE to a crowd of high school coaches last week. He was telling a story about toughness and he exaggerated a story about toughness. It is the same story he has told numerous times before, including last year at this same convention; only the coach he talked about last year wasn’t Coach Hayes, but Coach Bruce.

So please know: the story about toughness that Coach Meyer shared with a crowd last week and the year before and numerous times before was a joke and only a joke.

Thank you in advance for your clarifications.

Jerry Emig

We here at BroBible regret the error and apologize for assuming that laugh-a-minute Meyer would ever be serious.
