Homecoming Weekend: It's Time

T-minus one day until the mother of all pep rallies kicks off. This year promises to be even bigger than last in honor of the stellar graduating seniors from the team. If you haven't run to Lowe's and stocked up on your buckets of orange and blue paints, get there fast.

You won't make it through the weekend bleeding enough O&B to keep up with the rest of the fervent Gator fans otherwise. With Gator Gallop starting at 11:15am, followed by the three-hour Homecoming Parade at noon and Gator Growl at 7pm, tomorrow promises to be a day full of Gator spirit. The festivities don't end there.

Saturday we continue to get warmed up for the Arkansas game with the Homecoming Carnival (starting two hours before kick off) and an alumni barbecue at noon. The game is set for 3:30pm kickoff, after which we expect plenty of partying and downtown rowdiness - sorry GPD.

In the meantime check out what's in store this weekend with our photo recap of last year's festivities.
