Homecoming Weekend

Homecoming week is a tradition that we can all probably remember since freshman year of high school and coming to college isn’t much different except for the fact that we no longer have a dance to look forward to. This year Colorado State University kicked off Homecoming week with a parade on Friday following by a 5k run, and then the actual football game, which was played by your CSU Rams and the San Jose State Spartans.

Gysela Blanco a Spanish major here at CSU says her favorite part of homecoming week is the parade. “I love how all the Greeks come together and put to together the floats and get to meet other Greek organizations” said Blanco.

James Hopcroft said the best part of homecoming week is the game its self. “You get to see everyone’s excitement and tailgate with everyone” said Hopcroft.

Most students just show up at the game and don’t actually know all the hard work and dedication from a lot of people to actually make the game happen. There are tons of things that need to happen before the game actually takes place.

Doug Patmore the annul fund director for the Rams said homecoming week is probably one of the most stressful weeks during the football season. Patmore said “we can’t wait to see all of our hard work pay off” “It something that we all put a lot of hard work and dedication and finally get to see it all happen”

The Rams couldn’t come out with the win for the game and lost 38-31, I heard some leaving the game “the Rams didn’t lose, they just ran out of time” which I believe it’s true and the best way of putting it.

However it is a tradition that has been going on for years and hopefully be happing for years to come. And like we say in football there is always next week and next year.

Homecoming Upset

The homecoming parade was fun, so were the fireworks, and the bone fire! but then their was the homecoming game! Yeah I know not what we expected and the outcome we were looking for. I can say that this was not the game we should have lost but we did and now we are left with loosing to a team that was only 1-3 which if you ask me is pretty pateric! Which makes me very upset!!

Well that was the Rams, and then you come across that same evening the Florida Gators and Alabama take the stage at the swamp. Florida hadn't lost up until Saturday night, they didn't just lose they got killed!! right before playing the number one team in the nation, the LSU Tigers!! Hey who knows maybe they will pull an upset and win!!

As for the Rams they have a week off!!

But another hot game to keep in mind is #3 Oklahoma at #11 Texas! Oh and lets not forget #5 Boise State is at Nevada this Thursday, which is the Rams next opponent.
