That shit wasn't even cold last night compared to other years. Seriously, anyone who hasn't been down to see this is missing out on a tradition that in my eyes, is more awesome than just about all other buckeye traditions. There. I said it. It's crazy as fuck. Our team is now ready. It's game time in 27 hours and...
Michigan Still SUCKS!!!

:oh:

:io: It was definitely the warmest I've jumped in Mirror Lake. Probably a good thing for me but whatever. Even if it was freezing still would have done it. For sure one of my favorite traditions here at the greatest school in the world.

There were tons of people there. I'd put it around 10,000. I was a little disappointed with the lack of topless coeds but I did see a couple of nice sets. Never the less, last night felt like a Mel Gibson battle scene. Running to Mirror lake, screaming and shit, then running back after someone steals your clothes. Classic. One more step, lets get it done Bucks!

The simplest of signs make me laugh the most..

Example from tonight: "Michigan is Not Good at Football"

I lol'd. It's just one of those signs that you had to see in person to get the full effect!

It's the authenticity of a moment that every one of us who passed through that lake understand. Of course, the hangover is gonna be really bad, but he's always got Mirror Lake.:osu:

I went. I jumped. I enjoyed the HELL out of it. It was definitely one of the most hardcore and distinguished traditions I've known.
I'm a 5th year senior and to think that I have missed out on this great tradition till now (this year being the first time I jumped), I am f*cking ashamed. On a side note, before we went, I heard 2 different advises: 1) Jump the Lake DRUNK, 2) Duct taped the shoes. Well, alcohol definitely was not part of the equation last night, even though I would def. enjoy a drink or two before I go. But I still F*CKING had an awesome time. Besides, the love I have for my University and the support for my beloved Buckeye football team is intoxicating enough that I don't need alcohol to substitute those elements. Couple fights broke out last night while I was there, but both were immediately pulled away by bystanders (kudo to the crowd! Instead of adding fuel to fire, they were conscious enough to do the right thing). Don't mind drunk people as long as they don't bother me. But, really, if you need alcohol to support your Buckeyes and to follow through an one-and-only college football tradition, then you may want to examine your fan-hood.
I can't tell you from a personal experience about how the duct taped shoes work, because I was wearing my water sport shoes, ones with valcros to tightened up. But, from my observation, 80% of them worked. The remaining 20% are either the taping job was not good enough that water eventually penetrated and loosen the stickiness, or people were too drunk and started to take off their own shoes and throwing them around. :biggrin:
All in all, this is as good as it gets. I hope it will be coooooold next year, so that I can claim that I have done it in sub 0 degree weather!!! :wink2: (Next year will be my LAST Fall quarter.)

It's less than 24 hrs till THE Game. Let me hear it!
O-H

If you want cold... try jumping in Lake Minnetonka on Jan 1 in Minnesota. That was a body shock. Too bad I haven't seen Prince and Charlie Murphy out there, too.

However, as fun as those jumps are they don't compare to my memories of the Mirror Lake jumps. I sound so old saying this but it's the truth: you have cherish all your OSU student memories.
