Mary’s most memorable moment as a Buckeye fan happened her Senior year at Ohio State. She started out on Michigan game day by standing in line at Papa Joe's at 6am for Kegs 'n Eggs.  Got into the bar by 8am, had a beer poured over her head promptly thereafter (which was tradition), left the bar around 10am, showered with her clothes on, climbed into bed, slept through the first quarter of the game!!  Mary believes the Buckeyes went on to tie that year.
