Homecoming ate up my life last week, taking away all time for running, work and breathing, but it was so worth it. The pep rally and bonfire went off perfectly on Friday night.
The pep rally featured Eli Gold as MC and Cornelius Bennett as guest speaker. Nick Saban gave his “I-want-all-fans-to-make-it-hard-for-our-opponent-to-play-tomorrow” speech, and introduced all nine seniors on the football team. Rashad Johnson and Antwoine Caldwell said a few words, as well. Caroline Gwaltney was announced homecoming queen, and the bonfire was lit. I helped seat trustees and other VIPs, and keep other fans out of the reserved area. Beforehand, however, I got to hang out with the legend Eli Gold himself.
On the competitive side of Homecoming, the Crimson Tide rolled over Arkansas State 35-0 and took the number one spot in both the USA Today and BCS polls. Roll Tide!
Chi Omega took third place with our lawn decoration:
And the Chi Omega dance team took second in the choreography competition after only a week of practice:
Roll Tide and Go Chi O!
