ORUParentLurker Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Is this the Southwestern College in Kansas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansforever Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) I don't know. I just know "Southwestern College." Kansas sounds like a logical guess. The date, by the way, is November 9 (Friday).

ORUParentLurker Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I suspect it's hard to get legit competition to open their season in our house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a tough time to get anyone to agree to come play us. I’m not a huge fan of the Fall Semester Homcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansforever Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We moved Homecoming to the fall because alumni said February was too cold and weather was too iffy to travel. It's hard to find a date that isn't close to a holiday (Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year's) or in the dead of winter. If the season started earlier (October) or lasted longer, we would have other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yea I remember the debate. I was on board at the time, but how has it worked out? Has our Homecoming attendance grown? The only homecoming event I’ve ever attended is the Homecoming Game, and since they’ve made the switch, the numbers have appeared far worse. I wonder if there’s discussion of switching back, or if fall Homecoming is in fact working out better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I too attended several of the Homecomings when they were in January/February. Since they moved to November I have not attended any and do not plan on attending any in the future. I hate the "Homecoming Game" since it was moved to November and I think a lot of fellow alums feel the same way. Sorry, but it is hard to get excited to attend Homecoming and get to see the Golden Eagles play some NAIA or D-II opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The Alumni Association doesn't seem to care about the basketball game. I spoke with several people when this decision was made and they were indifferent about the game. In fact, they neglected to tell the Athletic Department and then could not understand why there was not a game scheduled when they got around to telling them in September. The first Fall homecoming did not have a basketball game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that a low-major basketball game is probably not the exciting draw that an FBS football game is, but I would still argue that the Homecoming Game should be one of the major attractions for a homecoming, if not THE major attraction. School pride is definitely not a priority for the current administration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
