Myles Traveled Book Signing at OSU Marching Band Concert in Lakeside

Posted on November 2, 2014November 2, 2014 by Steve Davis

Yours truly will be signing copies of Myles Traveled at the OSU Marching Band Concert in Lakeside on Friday evening, Nov 7th. The Best Damn Band In The Land usually performs a concert on it’s way to one of “Those Games Up North”. This year the concert will be sponsored by the Ottawa County Alumni Association and held in the Hoover Auditorium Pavillion in beautiful Lakeside, Marblehead Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie. Having been to these events in the past, I can assure you they are a good time. Perhaps 1000 Buckeye Fans, fired up and rocking to the unique sound of the all brass Buckeye Band, the night before the big showdown at Spartan Stadium, is sure to be a great time. You can get your copy of Myles Traveled there, and get your concert tickets at the link below:

About the Authors

Bill Myles has lived a fascinating life in athletics, from segregated Kansas City and Negro Leagues Baseball, to an up and coming high school coach, and then an insider in the country’s most powerful College Football programs. Bill coached under the giants at Nebraska and Ohio State—Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Woody Hayes, and Earle Bruce. With a career record of 170 wins, 67 losses, 7 ties, and 8 Big Eight/Big Ten Championships, Bill coached in 14 college bowl games including the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta and Gator Bowls. Bill then served 22 years as Associate AD at Ohio State, in the biggest college athletic department in the country.

Steve Davis is a lifelong Buckeye Fan and a 1973 graduate of The Ohio State University. His first Ohio Stadium experience was the 1969 OSU win over Purdue, which propelled the Buckeyes to a National Championship. Davis was too small (and too slow!) to play for the Buckeyes, instead graduating from the OSU College of Agriculture Honors Program.
