Homecoming 2008!!!

If one had passed through the town of Belton, Texas two weeks ago... they would of noticed something different about the city. The air of homecoming 2008 was around... Monday started off with the freshman class painting the town, that is, going around the shops and businesses around main street and the major roads and painting their shop windows... FYC mainly participated in doing this... The hype then climaxed at the pep rally friday night:


We had the burning of the letters and had about a twenty minute fireworks show... with the cheerleaders and football team having parts in gettin the crowd pumped for the game the next day... Afterwards we had a dance party in the parking lot for another 30 minutes and took a bunch of people to chilis. : ) The next day we had campus run at noon and then hit the field at 2 pm against another one of our big rivals Howard Payne University.

The top is a bunch of us from the couch cru, me and pancho painted our faces, his purple with yellow eye strips and me yellow with purple eye strips. The bottom is Eric Henry our All-American linebacker before the game. We ended up winning the game... by a lot...

It was a pretty lame game. It was 40-0 at the half. The highlight of the game was halftime, where they announced the homecoming king and queen, Tatenda Tavazeva and Martha Sicking : )
This is the pair at the semi-formal later that night. It was a ton of fun and me and a few others did a jonas brothers routine on the stage for the crowd... (I broke some hearts...) ; )

For my first homecoming at UMHB... it was a blast. There were so many traditions and things going on that weekend we didnt know what we were suppossed to do! I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but it was mom's 20th year reunion! : ) The alumni were ALL over the campus friday and saturday and took all of the good parking... : ) This was UMHB's 99th homecoming celebration so next year celebrates 100 YEARS of homecoming at UMHB!!!
