A Grown Man Went Tailgating For The First Time And Fell In Love
The poet and essayist Saeed Jones went tailgating for the first time over the weekend at an Ohio State football game and live-Tweeted about it, and, truly, this is the most delightful thing you will read about college football this week.
It's an epic journey that begins in skepticism:
I'm awake at 6:42am. On a Saturday. Because of college football. In Ohio. Truly, who could've foreseen this turn of events?

But it soon moves toward acceptance:
OMG. Someone just mistook me for a marketing student. I love Columbus so much.

And happiness:
And finally awe:
Tailgating in Columbus is wilder than NYE in New York City. I have SEEN things.

Everybody, raise up your arms for a big "O-H-I-O"!
