I got the (possibly erroneous) impression that the baffled commenters are non-US.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't think having seen this one episode of television years ago means you fully understand homecoming dances and what the hell they're all about. It's a different culture.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't get homecoming, fuck, and I went to a North American university. That shit is opaque.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I worked concessions under the grandstand during homecoming.
I don't remember who won. Ever.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The one thing about Homecming they never seem to put on tv is the people coming home for the weekend, which makes things make a lot more sense.

Me too. We always lost. Because we sucked. I was the only one at our tiny school who didn't give a damn.

What people coming home? I am not familiar with that part. I thought it was just a particularly designated home game after being away for a stretch and an excuse for a dance. Though we were generally much more about the dances than the games (which we always lost, I think we won 3 games in my four years) at my high school.

I thought alumni were supposed to come back and visit for Homecoming zweekend. Like, have reunions and stuff.

Because books.
Sometimes homecoming is scheduled around Thanksgiving, because people will be coming back. But otherwise, that's what it's supposed to be -- an alumni event with a football game and usually a dance.
