So what if it's cold? We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, we're from O-hi-o.
Is it a little more regulated than it was back in the day? Sure. Is it snowing? No, but it's still plenty cold outside. Is Ohio State gently trying to discourage students from doing it? Sure seems that way.
But none of that matters. Once again, Ohio State students participated in one of the great Buckeye traditions, jumping in stupid-cold Mirror Lake in a community-wide display of just how much they hate Michigan.
Cell phones and shoes were lost. Basically everybody is going to get the flu. Mistakes of all kinds were made. But the experience of jumping in that throng of humanity will last a lifetime, and many will count what happened tonight as one of their favorite memories from their time at Ohio State. Here are some of the best pictures from the night.
After a slow start, the crowd started to gather:

And then the jumps started.
Here's one, shot by the next Blair Witch director, no doubt:

Before a real "auteur" stole the show:
GO BUCKS. MUCK FICHIGAN. HAPPY THANKSGIVING I LOVE THIS SCHOOL. MIRROR LAKE JUMP 2k15. O-H!
Our low key MVP of the night? This guy:
Dab on dem folk. Mirror Lake jump night 2015.
The reviews were unanimous:
I don't know if any other tradition unites more Buckeyes than the Mirror Lake Jump. Go Buckeyes, forever. #TheFinalJump
