NO. 50 WILLIAM "TIPPY" DYE
Few athletes in Ohio State history have ever accomplished more within the realm of athletics, both on and off the field, than William "Tippy" Dye.
A three-year starting quarterback for the Ohio State football team, Dye led the Buckeyes to 7-1 seasons in 1934 and 1935 and a 5-3 record in 1936. He was the only quarterback to lead the Buckeyes to three consecutive wins over Michigan until Troy Smith duplicated the feat from 2004 through 2006. In 1942 Dye was an assistant coach for both the football and basketball teams. After that season, however, Dye left to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and upon his return in 1946, Dye focused exclusively on basketball, head coaching the Buckeyes in that sport for four seasons.
