It might not be quite the same thing as the debauchery of the Mirror Lake Jump, but it's comforting to know that the kids at Ohio State are in fact all right, bullying their way into Ohio Stadium to celebrate a Buckeye national championship for the first time since 2014.
As reported by Cole Behrens at the Columbus Dispatch:
Within minutes of the clock ticking down on the Buckeyes' 34-23 victory over the Irish, students were flooding out across the Columbus campus, quickly making their way to the gates of Ohio Stadium.
Chants of "O-H," "I-O!" rang out as the crowd converged on a shuttered Ohio Stadium. By midnight, students had successfully forced their way into the stadium.
Behrens and the Dispatch has some great video, as do several of the students who were there:
