    Re: What is Homecoming? (Re: Somebody help.) —Mike Stanley
   (...) Hrmmm... not sure about the coming home part but in my experience the games scheduled for homecoming are normally sure-things. You'll never see UTK playing Florida on homecoming. (...) Hrmmm... tuxes? We never wore tuxes to homecoming. Prom (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)

     (...) (!) Okay, this is going to sound dumb, so I'll let you reply after you've picked youself up from the ground, still convulsing from crippling bouts of laughter... So Homecoming, then, is also a college thing? (...) I hear you. :-, Cheers, - (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)
    
         Re: What is Homecoming? (Re: Somebody help.) —Mike Stanley
      (...) Well, there is a homecoming GAME. And usually some sort of parade? I honestly can't confirm this, since I won't be caught dead near campus on a game day, but I know there are all these stupid float things all up and down frat row the next week (...)

       (...) Sure is, but I don'think it is as big as it is in High School Speaking of a sure win situation, this was funny on friday. The team that we were playing on their first punt, punted it for a NEGATIVE 3 yards, Don't tell me that's not funny! (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)

     (...) Yep. The odd thing I think is that my high school didn't do anything for homecoming, other than the homecoming game. There was a game every year, and we actually had a pep rally 1 year... but the profound lack of school spirit made it (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)

     Homecoming is, I think, supposedly for the Alumni! It's supposedly the alumni who come back (come home) to their alma mater and watch the team trounce some hapless opponent and reminisce about good times. At Da Tech homecoming was a Big Deal. It was (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)

     (...) Did Tech ever win a homecoming game? Note to onlookers: Michigan Technological University is (well, was) not well-endowed when it came to football. At the time I was there (mid-80's) we didn't have a football stadium, just a gridiron with a (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)

   UTK playing Florida on homecoming. (...) Is that supposed to be U.K.? I've never heard of UTK (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)
   
        Re: What is Homecoming? (Re: Somebody help.) —Mike Stanley
   (...) Maybe that isn't the common abbreviation when it comes to college football. University of Tennessee (at Knoxville). Home of the defending national football champions. Yay. (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.people)
