Homecoming Weekend!

IT'S FRIDAY! It also happens to be Homecoming Week...which means that there's a bonfire and pep rally tonight! Starting at 7:00pm on the Quad, several things will be happening tonight:

• The band will play on the steps of Gorgas.
• Several speakers will also be present on the steps of Gorgas (Eli Gold and hopefully Coach Saban).
• Homecoming Queen will be announced.
• A huge bonfire will be blazing next to Denny Chimes.

No, Denny Chimes is not on fire.

It should be a great event to get you excited for kickoff against the Ole Miss Rebels Black Bears. Obviously, our football team has some room for improvement, and hopefully they'll come out fired up this week (it would help if our crowd could be fired up as well). Kickoff is set for 8:10pm tomorrow evening.

The game won't be the only thing going on tomorrow, though. The annual Homecoming Parade will start at 12:00pm tomorrow at the intersection of University Boulevard and 22nd Avenue. The parade will continue down University and will end at 5th Avenue (click here for Google Maps). Tyrone Prothro will be the grand marshal.

Your Grand Marshal

Of course, all of the Homecoming lawn decorations will be out tomorrow, and "Paint the Town Red" will be at its peak. We've got a couple of days full of events, and I'd encourage you to check them all out. Should be a good time for everyone involved.

Enjoy Homecoming and Roll Tide!
