Though I'm sure to draw the ire of Dr. Kolson (sorry Dr. K, I had to do it), this post will be about football (sort of). As this semester here in our nation's capitol happened to be the final semester of my senior year, it also happened to be fall semester at The Ohio State University and everyone knows what that means: Football. I unfortunately missed out on the in-person version of the majority of Urban Meyer's second undefeated regular season (one home game against Wisconsin withholding), however, this does not mean I missed out on watching the perfection surrounded by my fellow Buckeyes.
For any future Buckeye who may happen to find themselves in the predicament of waking up on Saturday morning, throwing on their scarlet and grey, and turning on the TV dripping with the anticipation of witnessing their team lay waste to some unknowing foe only to find ESPN or ABC showing the Boston College/ Maryland game - fear not. There is a place you can go where you'll swear you just stepped off High St.
Rhino Bar & Pumphouse (please don't inquire as to what exactly a "pumphouse" is because I'm pretty sure this is the only one in existence) can fill your Ohio State football void. Every Saturday Rhino is packed with fellow Ohioans, tOSU grads and fans of the Buckeyes in general (so much so that I would strongly advise getting there at least a half hour prior to the kick). It is in essence the perfect place for anyone who is feeling a little homesick for Columbus - unless of course home to you doesn't include 25 cent chicken wings (in which case I have no desire to know what your rendition of home would be).
The experience is so authentic that following games Rhino is even complete with the familiar swaying sounds of Carmen Ohio. Feel free to sway as you would back in Columbus future WAIPers.
