Three weeks ’til Baylor’s 100th anniversary Homecoming!

Three weeks from today, Baylor will celebrate the University’s 100th anniversary Homecoming! Make your plans now; you won’t want to miss Pigskin, Bonfire, the parade, and of course Baylor football vs. 14th-ranked Oklahoma State!

Over the years, there’s been a lot of discussion about which university had the first homecoming. I think you’ll find this study from the University of Illinois — one of those which claims to have been the first — very interesting, especially the section on Baylor where they point out that ours actually began a year before their own. (The University began Homecoming in 1909 as a way to bring alumni back to campus, enlisting those same alumni to help bring their friends along, too.)

Sic ’em, Baylor Homecomers!
