Welcome to homecoming week
The origin of the American Homecoming tradition is often disputed depending on which school administration you ask. The consensus is that it started at the University of Missouri in 1911 when fans were encouraged to attend an alum football event. Ten thousand fans returned to Columbia, MO, that weekend; the rest is history. Ask the Sic’ Em faithful, and they claim Baylor’s homecoming history dates back even earlier to November 1909 and included a parade, reunion parties, and an afternoon football game, the final game of the 1909 season. The University of Illinois also lays claim to its founding. Regardless, it’s a ubiquitous celebration we all enjoy in late October across college campuses all over America.
Happy Homecoming, UCF.
