Photo by Jeremy Scholz Homecoming is defined as a return to one s home or an annual event held by a university for visiting alumni. Throughout the 2003 Homecoming week various events were held to commemorate this exciting event for avid Beaver fans. People traveled from near and far to support their favorite team. Some were alumni and others were strong supporters. No matter the shape, si e or color Beaver fans joined together to fill Rescr Stadium to welcome back a victorious team. The week was kicked olT with a bang as living groups on campus decorated their liv ing quarters orange and black. There were football fields everywhere as the dorms and the greek houses competed for the coveted Homecoming trophy. Along with the spirit points that were awarded for the most decorated house, there was also a tug-of-war. The final round was held at halftime of the football game. There was also the yell like hell. which brought students together the night before the big game. Students walked or ran together to the parking lot of Rescr Stadium where a huge bonfire took place. The captains and coaches of the football team spent time speaking about their plans for the triumph over the Arizona Wildcats. They ended the bonfire by burning a stuffed wildcat to show what they were going to do to the team. The Beavers came out victorious with a score of 52-23. Once again, a wonderful and exciting Homecoming game for Beaver players and Beaver fans. Along with football, the Men s Soccer team also had a victorious Homecoming weekend. They played California at the Beaver Nation and brought home a victory of 3-1. All in all. it was a very proud weekend for the Beaver fans, one which will Ik remembered for years to come.
