Maybe I missed it in an earlier post, but 30 posts in and not a mention of homecoming proposals.
The social media landscape with today’s teenagers has changed dramatically, compared to what was ‘in’ 5-10 years ago. Early 2010’s, everything was on Facebook. Kids would post anything under the sun and the audience (the “friends-sphere”) would engage. Excitement over who gets asked/how they get asked, and promoting the “homecoming proposals” was a cultural staple then.Maybe I missed it in an earlier post, but 30 posts in and not a mention of homecoming proposals.
I read that east coast HBCU homecomings were the place to be in the 90’s and 2000’s. @DragonflyJonez and his followers would talk about OutKast, ATCQ, Wyclef and the Fugees performing at A&T, Spellman etcI went to Howard University’s homecoming years ago. Man, lemme tell ya, that was one of the best events I’ve been to. Shaq was randomly there, it was way off the chain.
Not really. That’s more popular in collegeDo alumni "come home" for the high school homecoming game like they might for college? That part, or at least the attempt, seems borrowed from college but not followed through.
For the students, there's a popularity contest and a dance. Let the kids have their fun.
It was insane. Apparently, a football game was played in all that madness. I remember puking in the metro subway and ending up at some diner that had some bomb fried chicken. I don’t know how the heck I made it back across the patomac to my hotel.I read that east coast HBCU homecomings were the place to be in the 90’s and 2000’s. @DragonflyJonez and his followers would talk about OutKast, ATCQ, Wyclef and the Fugees performing at A&T, Spellman etc
I agree Howard University Homecoming is the best of them all!! (I may be a little biased )I went to Howard University’s homecoming years ago. Man, lemme tell ya, that was one of the best events I’ve been to. Shaq was randomly there, it was way off the chain.

Throw in youth football night and middle school band night and you have a full season for those of us with only 5 home games...My school generally uses different games for Homecoming and Alumni Night which are usually different than Senior Night.
That's the idea. Give people reasons to come to as many different games as possible instead of doing a lot of it at the same game. I forgot about thinks like elementary school or junior high night. When I went to a game at Strongsville, I recall it was a night for 1 of their elementary schools.Throw in youth football night and middle school band night and you have a full season for those of us with only 5 home games...
