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

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.

I am pretty sure at our school Alumni even came to the dance.

Ah, I see. We didn't have much in the way of alumni involvement and what reunions I've heard of seem to happen in the summertime.

Yeah, I never knew Homecoming was supposed to involve alumni. Then again, I'm not 100% sure my school even did Homecoming. I guess we probably did -- football was a pretty big deal at my school -- but I can't remember ever hearing about it, let alone thinking about going. So not my thing.

Graduating from a Big Ten school meant Homecoming was always also reunion weekend. Even for the film majors.

I think at the university level it still is often alumni centerered, but for most high schools it's morphed into a more generic football game + dance thing.

Oh, duh, high school! I was at an all-girls high school - no football team, so no homecoming.

Band Candy review is up, and he's appropriately appreciative of how awesome it is. [link]

Holy asscaps, Batman. I think I'll just continue to enjoy Mark as filtered through Buffistas. I cannot handle that much screaming.
