Welcome to episode 22 of Ohio 88 where I, your host, Heather Wright, will discuss one of the most notorious individuals from Fayette County, Ohio.  For this episode, we will be discussing Art Schlichter.  Schlichter, who is a Bloomingburg native and former Ohio State and NFL quarterback, is perhaps best known for throwing the decisive interception in the 1978 Gator Bowl.   In the aftermath of that interception, Coach Woody Hayes was fired for punching Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman in the.  But that’s not what we’re here for.  Art Schlichter’s gambling addiction was ever present throughout his life and led to multiple stints in prison. _____________________________________________________________________
