AEPi Roadtrip to Ohio State

Another road trip - this time to Ohio State University. We had an interesting drive down there to say the least - including getting stopped at the border. Not only does Salzman not have his passport, but his drivers license has a hole in it! When we get there we go and grab some food, and get back to the house in time for the party.
While waiting for everyone else to wake up the next morning, I walked around the mansion and took a look at some of the cool stuff they had lying around. Started up in the 1920s I believe, the OSU chapter was the 5th chapter of AEPi. We found some books, plaques and awards that dated back to the 1930s which was pretty cool. While looking outside through the window, we saw a few police cars followed by SWAT vans barelling around the corner. I was informed they were probably going to a different fraternity house. I was somewhat puzzled because my watch said it was 9AM. Once everyone woke up, we went to the mall. Nothing interesting happened there - Salzman bought an iphone - but besides Lee Rosen, who really cares???
We got back to house, and got ready to go to the football game. Undefeated OSU (ranked number 1 in the country) was playing University of Illinois. The stadium held 105,000 people, and the atmosphere was electrifying. The game got off to a great start with 2 touchdowns in the first minute, and it looked like the highscoring play would continue. Somehow, Ohio State ended up losing their first game of the season, and it put a damper on the evening. The game was a lot of fun, and to see first hand the rediculousness of college football was pretty awesome.
