We’re Having a Party
By Melissa Hoppert
The Quad is doing something a little bit different this Saturday. Instead of the usual morning links, we’re starting the day off with a tailgate party. The Times’ own Melissa Hoppert is a veteran of many Ohio State tailgates and she gives us the inside scoop on the granddaddy of them all, Hineygate. Do you have a favorite tailgate? Feel free to tell us about it in the comments section.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — It is hours before the noon kickoff, and beers and bras are flying.
It is an Ohio State football Saturday at the Holiday Inn on Lane Avenue, where Hineygate, billed as the world’s largest tailgating party, was born 25 years ago.
How big is it? Hineygate has its own house band. It attracts major sponsors such as Budweiser. It has food stands, including one from the German Village mainstay, Schmidt’s Sausage Haus.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND GO BUCKS

NFL BUCKEYES

A Little bit late on this. While watching football Sunday, I caught some NFL Buckeyes make some highlight worthy plays. Matt Wilhelm of the Sandiego Chargers recovered a forced punt against my beloved-but kinda shiteous right now Bears. Santonio Holmes of the Pitt(shitt)sburg Steelers had received 2 passes for 55yds and scored a touchdown. The NFL Buckeye with the best game day has to be Drew Carter of the Carolina Panthers who had 3 catches but scored 2 touchdowns. Congratulation and good luck for the rest of the season. STAY HEALTHY!!

PS: Orlando Pace of the Saint Louis Rams injured his shoulder in the same game against the panthers.
