I'm jealous. You are in for a treat. It is literally the most fun tradition we have. It's things like the lake jump that make Ohio State better than any other school in the country.

Hot young co-eds and cold water. What's not to love? I'd wear safety goggles though. Wouldn't want to lose an eye...

It's a crazy experience. If you live in the area I suggest you drive down to at least come down and watch.

The dudes in man thongs


But in all seriousness, will never forget the first time I made it down to the Lake, it was an unbelievable sea of people.. definitely worth going down even if you don't jump in

Sean Mcdonough in last years Michigan game reported that the temperature of Mirror Lake, after the jump, had gone up 3 to 5 degrees and the ammonia content was really high also.

Some thoughts to keep in mind for you first time jumpers.

1. Do not jump sober. In fact, don't even attend sober.
2. If you're wearing something tight like a speedo, stuff that shit.
3. Do not count the number of titties you see, out loud, in front of said set of titties. Trust me.
4. Most importantly, have a good time. Drunk enough to feel loose, but still have a memory and capability to run back to a shower and beer.


This may be my last year graduating for I may be graduating early. I will be going hard tomorrow.

Officials: Don't jump Thursday

Every year around midnight on the Thursday before the Michigan game, police and Ohio State officials ease up on the law when more than 12,000 OSU students jump into Mirror Lake, an act that officials say is technically criminal trespassing. The fourth-degree misdemeanor is tradition, but this year, tradition has changed.
The Michigan game is the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year, putting the Mirror Lake jump on the Thanksgiving holiday. Because the jump is not a university-sponsored event, students took things into their own hands, broke tradition and moved the jump to Tuesday.
"I just decided that it should be Tuesday and everyone else just join in," said Brittany McDonald, a second-year in math who created the Facebook group "Mirror Lake Jump 2010," an impromptu forum to organize the event.
McDonald said she chose Tuesday because she knew most people would be home for Thanksgiving on Thursday, herself included.
Thousands of other students apparently thought the same thing. According to the Facebook group, almost 13,500 people are attending the Mirror Lake jump on Tuesday.
"The date doesn't really matter so much as the entire student body of OSU getting together and giving Michigan a giant middle finger," said Andrew MacMillan, a 2010 graduate who made the jump three times while at OSU.
However, many students plan to jump both nights to keep tradition alive. The Facebook group, along with university officials and police, advise students not to jump Thursday.
"People who go in the water Thursday night are at greater risk of being charged for criminal trespassing," said Capt. Eric Whiteside of OSU Police. "We don't want people in the water at all on Thursday."
Signs posted around Mirror Lake say no trespassing or swimming in the lake. Normally, violators could be arrested and charged with criminal trespassing.
The maximum penalty for a fourth-degree misdemeanor includes 200 hours of community service, a $250 fine and 30 days in jail.

Absolutely amazing.

Probably one of the best experiences of my life. Did the Buckeye bounce in the lake, sang "We don't give a damn" in it, and just the overall brotherhood and camraderie of it all was overall amazing in general. Thank god I didn't jump sober though.
