Sept 21 – Welcome to Myles Traveled

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Steve Davis

Welcome to the Myles Traveled Website Blog. As the book gets legs, in the coming weeks and months we will be using this space to share with our readers updates on Coach Bill Myles story and the book – Myles Traveled: Stories of My American Journey. Look for event announcements, links to Myles Traveled “In The News”, photos, background, and general all around book tidbits. Since there has already been a lot of water under the bridge, the first few posts will get you up to date on several things that have already happened. I hope you will enjoy learning about Bill’s fantastic story as much as I have enjoyed helping him tell it. Stay tuned, check back often, and as always, Go Bucks! … Steve Davis.

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.
