This has been everywhere today–just like Pauly’s mom–but as an Ohio State alum, I feel compelled to weigh in. First of all, I never swam in Mirror Lake, because they hadn’t renovated that area of campus before I graduated. They hadn’t drained the lake, paved the bottom of it and rebuilt the walls around it until after I had blown that pop stand, so it’s not so much of a “tradition” as it is an indulgence. Secondly, who exactly was dying to enjoy an outdoor bathhouse on campus? What, the Short North wasn’t within walking distance? And finally, is it that hard to just hold it for another half-hour? But hey, school spirit! Just find your own ride home.
