While most of you know Brutus Buckeye, a lot of you don't know the men (and sometimes women) behind the mascot.It turns out one of my fraternity brothers whom I've only met on occassion IS Brutus Buckeye...and he was up for Homecoming King. Although Andew Aten fell short of the crown, he still served Phi Gam well.
Phi Gam has actually had a member on the Homecoming Court ever since it was brought back to campus in 2003. Josh Harraman is the only Phi Gam brother to be named Homecoming King (2003).
Three FIJIs were named to the court this year.
Aten, though, is the only Brutus to ever make the Homecoming Court as far as I know.
Two other FIJIs have "dotted the i" in Script Ohio as well the past two years with Dan Wanders taking the honors for the 2006 Michigan game.
It's pretty interesting to see the two-time, defending William H. Hall Chapter of the Year rolling campus.
On a side note: I think I'm in love with Zanesville's Kelly Mirgon. I'm disappointed she didn't win Homecoming Queen this year. The Ohio State Alumni Association passed up on a great ambassador this year.
Well, guess I'll just have to dedicate a song to her as a consolation prize.
