At the tailgate everyone was very well behaved and appeared to have a great time. With some alumni coming from as far as California and Florida, many were interested in catching up with old classmates and seeing what current students are up to. Class reunions are another reason many people come back to Loras. All the classes dating back to 1950 that end with a zero or five were back to celebrate Homecoming at their Alma matter. There were tents set up for these groups and they were walking around interacting with many of the other students and alumni.
Alumni also love the opportunity to meet students and see what they are interested in.
Current students enjoy having alumni come back to tell them how it used to be back in their day. Whether the tailgaters were old professionals or up and coming rookies there was a feeling of excitement in the air. With the tailgate ending at halftime of the football game many made their way to the game and cheered on Loras' winning team. With all the excitement and a good game, Homecoming should leave an impression with the entire Loras community. All rights reserved.
