THE BUCKEYES ARE HEADED TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! THE OHIO STATE FOOTBALL TEAM DEFEATED THE ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE AT THE SUGAR BOWL IN NEW ORLEANS, EARNING A SPOT IN THE NATIONAL TITLE GAME AGAINST THE OREGON DUCKS.
HEAD COACH URBAN MEYER AND COMPANY WERE HONORED IN COLUMBUS OVER THE WEEKEND. THEY'LL HEAD TO ARLINGTON, TEXAS ON FRIDAY FOR THE BIG GAME .
WE TOLD YOU THE BUCKEYES WILL FACE OFF AGAINST OREGON... WELL DID YOU KNOW THERE'S ALSO A TOWN IN OHIO CALLED OREGON? RESIDENTS OF THE TOLEDO SUBURB STARTED A FACEBOOK PETITION REQUESTING THE MAYOR CHANGE THE TOWN'S NAME IN SUPPORT OF THE BUCKEYES.
AND THE PETITION WORKED.. WELL KIND OF. OREGON MAYOR MIKE SEFERIAN TEMPORARILY CHANGED THE TOWN'S NAME TO 'OREGON, OHIO BUCKEYES ON THE BAY, CITY OF DUCK HUNTERS'. THE MAYOR ALSO PROCLAIMED THIS WEEK AS OHIO STATE BUCKEYES WEEK.
A WAR HERO FROM UPPER SANDUSKY IS AWARDED THE HIGHEST MILITARY HONOR BY THE GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE. CLYDE SHULL,96, WAS PRESENTED FRANCE'S LEGION OF HONOR DURING A CEREMONY ON MONDAY FOR HIS HEROIC ACTIONS DURING WORLD WAR II.
SHULL WAS AN ARTILLERY GUNNER DURING THE D-DAY INVASION OF FRANCE. HE SPENT MORE THAN TWO YEARS IN COMBAT, EARNING SIX BATTLE STARS.
FRANCE STARTED HANDING OUT MORE OF THE MEDALS TO AMERICANS AFTER THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ALLIED INVASION OF NORMANDY. THE TRIBUTE IS A WAY TO EXPRESS FRANCE'S GRATITUDE TO THOSE WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES, AND IN MANY CASES GAVE THEIR LIVES, DEFENDING LIBERTY.
