Its that time of year again, folks! Stephen F. Austin's Homecoming! Super exciting! This is definitely an exciting time for everyone on campus, and off. As if SFA didn't already have enough school spirit. Get ready, because this week, it'll be through the roof. Along with Homecoming, there are plenty of things to get excited for.
Here are the big ones to look out for:
1. Surfin' Steve goes Purple
Every year, the surfin' Steve fountain water gets dyed purple. Nothing screams school spirit like dyeing the water your school's color. Right?
2. Burning Shirts
If you happen to MISTAKENLY bring another college's shirt to school with you, and God forbid it's orange, SAA will trade your shirt for a proud brand new SFA one. And in the meantime, well burn the other one. Here's this year's shirt!
3. Homecoming Bonfire
So if you've driven by the intramural fields in the past few weeks, you've probably seen massive amounts of pallets being stacked on top of each other. Well, you guessed it; yes, they are for the bonfire on Friday. A long time SFA tradition as well!
4. Bonfire Concert!
Heck yeah! Each year, SAA brings out a special guest to perform at the bonfire the night before the game. This year's guest is Frankie Ballard!
5. The Homecoming Parade
This is a fun one! Right before the game on Saturday, there is a parade put on for all of the Nacogdoches community. Tons of the organizations on campus build floats and get to participate in the parade!
6. The Homecoming Game!
This is an obvious one, but make sure you go out and support the Lumberjacks as they play once again at Homer Bryce on Saturday! Come for 4, stay for 4!
