Homecoming

One thing that i think is pretty cool at Coe is our traditional Homecoming week. Sure, it may sound corny and juvenile to get excited about Homecoming when I'm a senior in college, but I don't care, I'm guilty.
Yes, we have a dance and a football game, but my favorite traditions at Coe are neither of these. I absolutely love the men's volleyball and women's powder puff football games. After watching sand volleyball in the Olympics all summer, I was pumped for our first game this fall. I showed up rocking my beach wear (tank top and visor) and some of my friends busted out some old spandex. Our preliminary game was against the freshman class. Needless to say, we may have taken them a little lightly and lost the first game, but got it together and won the next two to move on to the championship (to be played tonight).
While I do love playing volleyball, its not nearly as fun as watching girls play football. My class played last night (against the freshmen, of course). They had been practicing all week and handled them very easily. Even though it is flag football, every year the senior class is notorious for making a few tackles and pulling some hair, which brings me back to the game every year.
Tonight brings the championship games in both volleyball and football, tomorrow is "follies," where different groups will perform various skits and Friday is our bonfire, where we find out who is king.
I'm going to try to take some pictures this week (I hate taking pictures) and post them for you later.
