Tailgating with the Ohio State Buckeyes
There’s one thing that Ohio State University Football knows how to do well – win football games. And, with one of the most impressive records in college football, the buckeyes have collected a band of faithful followers who gather before football games to enjoy the festivities of the day.
About the Team
This Big 10 team boasts 7 National Championships and 32 conference titles. Throughout history, the team has managed to complete 9 seasons undefeated and reached their 800th win in September of 2008. Seven players have been awarded the coveted Heisman trophy which is a record for the most players from one school. Only 2 other schools can claim that record.
But, it’s not only the players that are setting records and winning awards. The coaches of Ohio State have also gained recognition for outstanding performance as well. Coaches Woody Hayes, Earle Bruce and Jim Tressel have all been awarded the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award.
Ohio State Tailgating
With a brief summary of the Ohio State Football team’s achievements, you can see why Saturday tailgating would be a big event for this NCAA team. Football fans show up early with their grub, grills and generators. Tailgate parties are laid back and include your usual game day fare of hot dogs, hamburgers and brauts. Not only are the grills a site for food, but they are also a source of heat for those cold games late in the season. However, the weather hardly deters tailgaters from showing up on game day.
Since there are so many people on campus, one of your main concerns on game day at Ohio State is going to be parking. Usually every parking lot is filled with Ohio State fans and tailgaters. Check out Ohio State’s parking information website for more details about where parking is allowed and how much it’s going to cost you.
