Homecoming is always a great time to show school pride, and we have two fantastic basketball teams to get out there and support this weekend. In fact, you should probably wear your UALR hoodie every day this week just to show your school spirit. The most spirited fan will be judged during the men’s game and go home $300 richer. Go Trojans!

Of course, no Homecoming is complete without the royalty. You can vote for Homecoming Queen in the DSC 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 22 and 23.

Read more about the candidates and the organizations that nominated them in The Forum.

But wait, there’s more! Last year, Campus Recreation started a brand new event — the Homecoming Cardboard Boat Regatta. There are prizes for most creative design, best dressed team, most team spirit, and the best prize of all– the Titanic Award for most spectacular sinking.

If you missed last year’s, watch the video for a little sampling of what’s in store.

Come out to the DSC at noon on Friday, Feb. 24, and cheer on your favorite regatta team.

Then on Saturday, support the Trojans against our in-state rival ASU. Let’s show them our school spirit, and Pack the Jack!
