Woody Hayes is the patron saint of Ohio State football. However, according to a picture tweeted by Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh on Thursday afternoon, there may have been a skeleton in Hayes' closet.

It's unclear where this picture was taken. That might not even be a Michigan hat. Cincinnati Moeller—a prominent high school football power—also utilizes the Block ’M’ and a yellow and blue color scheme.

11W member, Bucktater, claims to know the origin of the photo:

I actually know the story. Woody was at a charity event and a fan of TSUN offered to make a large donation if Coach Hayes would put the hat on. Woody was glad to help raise money for a good cause and a quick picture was snapped. The man was a saint. Funny to see that picture here on Eleven Warriors. The owner has not had much opportunity to show it off in the last decade plus...

Thanks to reader Niall for sending in the Columbus Dispatch piece on the event:

At least we can rest easy knowing Harbaugh is 0-2 against the Buckeyes in his last two swings.
