At OSU, we take Game Day very seriously. I mean we have to, we are the national champions after all! Since every game day is basically considered a campus wide holiday, there are certain things that game day would just be completely lost without.

1. The Outfit: If you are not completely decked out in scarlet and grey, are you even an OSU fan? The jersey, the face tattoos, the red bandana, the knee high socks, the red converse, the fanny pack, and the buckeye necklace are all must haves.

2. The Booze: One of fame day's key components is the dangerous amount of alcohol that is consumed. Every college kid has to drink their fair share of Natty Light and Kamchatka to be able to classify themselves as the infamous "broke college student." And frankly, if you can remember the entire day without any blurry moments, you're doing something wrong.

3. The Blocks: Game day would be missing something extremely special if it didn't have the homey feeling of dancing on top of an elevated surface to your favorite songs at a fraternity house that smells like warm beer and pee.

4. The Naps: You deserve a gold medal if you can make it the entire day without taking at least one nap. Whether it's before, during or after the game, a nap is gravely essential on game days.

5. The Drunk Food: Since game days usually start early in the morning and can go until pretty late at night, food is a necessity. You are probably drinking this entire time, so you're gonna want something greasy and delicious to stuff your face with. Cane's in particular is a classic game day (and any other day) go to. Pizza By The Slice, Catfish Biff's, and Jimmy John's are other obvious options.

6. The Friends: What's a game day without your best friends to cheer on your favorite team with? And the best part about game day is that every single person at the stadium is your friend because everyone is a die-hard Buckeye fan just like you.

7. The Spirit: This one is pretty obvious, but nevertheless it needs to be said. Carmen Ohio, The Best Damn Band In The Land, singing Hang On Sloopy and screaming O-H! with no doubt that someone will respond with I-O! are just a few of the many ways Buckeye pride is evident on game day.

8. The Actual Game: Whether you get to the game before it starts and stay until the very end, or only make it for half a quarter, making an appearance at the actual game is crucial to having game day be considered a success.

GO BUCKS!
