I'll be honest: I'm on my second year here at Ohio State and I've become quite disillusioned with the football culture. I love the games - football, basketball, and hockey - but at the end of the day, the prevailing attitudes and behaviors are just way too out of control for my tastes. It's offensive to say this, but I feel like too many people let this hysteria define their lives because if everyone's doing it, nobody can think they're shallow people. I'll take my sports with the crowd in the Yankees bleachers over the crowd in the Horseshoe any day. Maybe when I'm older and my friends are older, when I'm not obliged to crappy OSU parties and drunken fist fights between tough guys from Dayton and Youngstown, I'll find the scene more approachable.
