Homecoming Weekend

This weekend marks the annual HWS Homecoming tradition, but it'll be a different one this year. The NCAA and effectively all of D3 shutting down fall sports makes this Homecoming one without any teams returning from the road and playing in front of their fans, friends and families.

Still, HWS is moving on and still hosting a number of events, in person and virtual, this week and into the weekend to celebrate Statesmen, Herons and HWS school spirit. I can't believe it's been a decade since I last attended Homecoming weekend - reuniting with some old friends to play music before the football game (and crashing a make shift easy chair on wheels in the Fall Nationals race).

I had moved from Geneva in the spring of 1998 to take a job with a firm out in Chicago. After being a kid from a rural area and attending a college in a similar setting, this would be my first big city experience. Given that move and then a subsequent one to Los Angeles, it took me over 12 years to make it back to Upstate NY.

The Homecoming (and rock band reunion) weekend made it the perfect excuse to do so and I really enjoyed it (in spite of the 34-14 loss to then #21 Saint John Fisher and the scrapes and contusions from the rally car crash).

In other news, today is the 12-year anniversary / birthday of In the (D3FB) Huddle. We released our Season 13 premiere last Monday. ICYMI you can see it here.

Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy Homecoming weekend. I'll be appearing on WHWS 105.7 FM Friday, 9/25 at 3:25 PM ET to talk a little football with the "Broadstreet Boyz". Tune in if you can. A replay of the interview can be viewed / heard here. 

As always, thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
