Buckeyes spend uneventful New Year’s Eve
Ohio State players spent New Year’s Eve watching the cactus grow, or thereabouts.
Beanie Wells, Terry Robiskie and his roommate, Lawrence Wilson, went out for a quiet dinner before returning to the team hotel to chill in the room.
“We had a prayer, actually,” Wells said of the way he welcomed in the new year.
“We prayed that God would bring us good health in the future.”
Robiskie said he was up until midnight … Columbus time.
“I didn’t see the ball drop. This year is a little bit different,” he said.
Tight end Rory Nicol and some teammates went to Benihana’s, but said the place did not compare to Gengi’s in Columbus. They also retreated to the team hotel, the Fairmont Princess.
“There was a party at the Fairmont, and I heard the countdown but I was watching a movie,” Nicol said.
“I didn’t watch any celebrations or anything. I’m a pretty pathetic person.”
New Year’s resolutions were made.
Robiskie said he resolved “to be a better person. To be a better brother.” He has two younger brothers, one a redshirt freshman at SMU and the other a senior at Cardinal Gibbons High in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
“I’m going to try to quit swearing,” Nicol said.
“It’s so stupid. Sometimes I do, and I say ‘why do I do that?’ But I’m going to be realistic and say I get five per practice.”
