23. OSU kids like to drink. But most take the game seriously.

The entire campus takes football seriously.
I did my PhD at OSU and didn't know much about football when I first arrived.
I was shocked how serious everyone was about football and the team.

Every Monday the school newspaper came out with the entire content
about the Saturday game. Every play was torn apart and critiqued.
Even when the Bucks won people were happy but mad about them not doing as well
as they could, etc.
