A/N: I know that the Ohio State/Michigan game is in Ann Arbor this year. But for the purposes of this story let’s pretend it’s in Columbus, Ohio.
Go Bucks
Friday Afternoon
Tony pounded on McGee’s door. “Hey, you in there Probie? We’ve got a plane to catch.”
McGee flung open the door. “Calm down Tony, we have plenty of time.”
Tony was vibrating with excitement as he pushed his way into Tim’s apartment. “Be more excited McGee. I’m going to teach you how to have fun.”
“Tony, I’m not so sure about this trip. I don’t understand why we have to go all the way to Ohio to watch a football game.”
Tony turned to glare at his friend. His hand twitched with the desire to ‘Gibbs smack’ Tim. “It is not just a football game. It is THE football game. Ohio Sate-Michigan. The pinnacle of college football rivalries.”
“So you've told me, but I’m really not a fan of football. And while I appreciate you inviting me along…”
Tony held up a hand to stop Tim’s protestations. “Enough Probie. Going to that two-bit geek school totally ruined your college experience and I am here to put it right.”
“MIT is not a two-bit university.”
“I’m sure the Saturday afternoon chess tournaments were outrageous,” Tony smirked. “But this is Ohio State. You will experience the finest in college traditions. My fraternity brothers are hosting the tailgate. Beer, Brats and Co-eds.”
“I don’t think binge drinking counts as a formative college experience.”
“And that is exactly what’s wrong with MIT.”

Friday Evening
Tim opened the door to the hotel room and looked around. “Well, at least there are two beds,” he groused. He was not thrilled at all about sharing a room with Tony.
“Do you know how hard it is to get a hotel room this close to campus? Besides we won’t be spending much time here,” Tony chuckled.
“You are not abandoning me to chase co-eds.”
Tony rolled his eyes. “We have too many events scheduled to spend time hanging around the room. Let’s go. We’ve got things to do.”
“Tony, it’s late and I’m tired.”
“McGee,” Tony snapped. “Get with the program. When I said you could come along, you agreed to follow my lead.”
“Uh… no. You talked me into coming, remember.”
Tony waved a hand dismissively in McGee’s direction, “Whatever, we’ve got a party to go to and you need proper attire for tomorrow. Let’s move.”

Saturday Morning
Tony woke to the sounds of tapping keys. He looked over to see McGee hunched over his laptop. Bolting out of bed he crossed the room to loom over the mad typist. “Oh no, McGee! Shut it down.”
“No, I have work I can get done.” This time Tony did smack the back of McGee’s head. “Hey,” Tim said angrily “Knock it off, Tony.”
“No work. This is a fun weekend. Don’t deny it; I know you had fun last night. That was just the beginning.”
“You were right there were some interesting people at the party. But I don’t see why I can’t get some work done now. The game doesn’t start for 3 hours.”
“What!” Tony scrambled to find his watch. “Crap, we’ve gotta go.” Tony rooted around to find his Ohio State gear.
“Why? There’s plenty of time?”
“Tailgate, Probie.”
“You want to go drinking at 9 am.”
“No better time.” Tony pulled on his jeans and then walked over to snatch the laptop away.
“Give that back. I don’t need to go to the tailgate. I have my ticket. I’ll just meet you there.”
“No way. The tailgate is a necessary part of the whole game day experience.”
Tim eyed his laptop anxiously and tried to grab it back from Tony. “Can I at least finish what I was doing?”
“If I give it back, you have five minutes. But then you have to promise to have a good time.”
Tony was really trying hard to make the weekend fun. The least Tim could do was attempt to have a good time. Smiling, he nodded, “Okay Tony. I’ll try.”
“Excellent. Beer, Brats and Co-eds await.”

Sunday Morning
Tony was in a very good mood as he approached his hotel room. OSU had won the game handily and was headed to the National Championship game. He’d found a very excited co-ed to share the victory with who also had a very private apartment. He’d lost track of Tim in the drunken haze that filled the evening's celebrations. Not that he minded. He was sure McGee could find his own way back to the hotel room. Braniac had probably spent the rest of the night catching up on reports.
What a waste Tony thought as he keyed open the door.
“Holy hell,” Tony yelped as he walked into the room. There was a sight he hoped to go his whole life without seeing.
McGee was sprawled naked on his back across the bed. His snores were echoing off the walls.
Tony reached for the blanket that had been flung to the floor and pitched it over the most offensive part of the view. He moved close to Tim’s ear. “McGee!” he bellowed and laughed madly as Tim sprang up right and began looking around wildly.
“What…who…,” Tim sputtered. Panting heavily, he finally calmed down and then let out a horrific groan. “Tony, this is your fault.” Clutching his head Tim fell back onto his pillow.
Tony was still enjoying himself at Tim’s expense. “I told you tailgating was fun.”
Tim groaned again and pulled the second pillow over his head. “If you’re going to taunt me and can you at least do it more quietly?”
“Only if you put some clothes on, McGee. Seriously I don’t think my eyes can take another view of your …” Tony gestured at McGee’s crotch “…stuff.”
Tim leaned over the bed looking for his clothes. What he found was a pair of pink lace panties.
“Something you want to tell me, Probie?”
Tim looked at the feminine underwear in his hand. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. He looked up at Tony for an explanation.
Tony shrugged. "Don’t look at me I’m not the one wearing women’s underwear.”
“I do not wear women’s underwear!” McGee snapped and then groaned as the volume of his own voice sent his head throbbing again. He tossed the panties at Tony and rolled back onto the bed.
Tony caught the mystery garment and was just about to retort when there was a knock at the door.
Tony picked his way back across the room and opened the door to reveal a hot, blond co-ed. “Oh you’re not Tim,” she pouted. “I thought this was the right room.”
“It's the right room. I’m Tony.” He flirted.
“Oh! I believe those are mine,” she giggled as she plucked the panties from Tony’s hand. “Is Timmy here? He promised me breakfast after I drove my friend home.”
“There were two of you here last night?” Tony was stunned as she nodded. McGee and two girls. He stood there silently trying to get his head around the concept.
A now fully dressed McGee walked up behind Tony. “Lisa, you’re back.” He smiled and pushing past Tony enveloped the woman in a welcoming hug.
Tony frowned at McGee's warm greeting of the blond. Obviously her return had cured his headache.
“Timmy, are you ready for breakfast?”
“Absolutely.”
They were halfway out the door when Tony finally found his voice, “Two girls, McGee?”
Tim turned to smirk at his friend, “You were right Tony, binge drinking and football are definitely fundamental college experiences.”
