What’s on Your Mind? – Homecoming

As I sat around, thinking about what to discuss that pertains to Homecoming, I found myself wondering what you, the students, really care about. So I took to the streets with my trusty pen and paper and asked you what you think of the WTAMU Homecoming festivities.

I asked 50 people what they thought, and this is what you said:

Question 1: What is your favorite activity leading up to Homecoming?

As you can see, people really enjoy the bonfire, even those who have never been.

“A lot of people talk about it. I’m excited,” said Rolando, a freshman at WT.

The “others” enjoyed the feeling that comes with homecoming. “I like the aknowledgement of past players and alumni,” said Barrett Allen, a graduate assistant.

Question 2: Will you be attending the homecoming game?

It looks like we should have a pretty good turnout for the last wagon wheel game. Those who said they would not be in attendance had pretty legit excuses; work, other school functions and going out of town. But others said they simply have better things to do or hate crowds. Brittany Sarrett, a senior, stated, “I just hate college football.”

Question 3: Will you come back for homecoming as an alumn?

The majority of students plan on returning. The main issue people had when answering this question, which caused for the percentage of “maybe,” was illustrated in a statement made by Ashley, a junior, “It depends on how far away I am.” It seems future plans are the biggest worry of those hoping to come back one day.

Show some pride in your school, guys; support the buffs this year and for years to come.
