Chris "shows" you Mirror Lake, and tells you about the OSU tradition

Mirror Lake is a reservoir located in the south oval. Students jump into the lake each year before the OSU Michigan game as an annual tradition that was started in 1969. Approximately 12,000 people jumped into the lake, or were at least near it, before the 2009 football game.

To be honest, I don't really know why they quiet exists like it's right next to the oval. How's my third favorite place on campus? Which is mere like, so right here is mirrored. What? What happened to me? Really? Merely what? What happened to mere lake? All right, in all seriousness, Meer Lake is under construction right now for like a reclamation project or something like that. So the big thing about near Lake is that every year right before the Michigan game, we jump in mere lake because Michigan I got to be honest. I don't really understand it, but it's a tradition.
