Texas State's 2009 Homecoming has a lot of firsts in store for students. Claudia Mickle has more with this Bobcat Update.
Homecoming will be celebrated this weekend.
Campus windows in the L-B-J Student center show the students' spirit with paintings of bobcats and sayings such as "Let's go Cats, beat the Jacks."
Homecoming Queen nominee Jenni Kraft says the event will be exciting.
SB: (12 secs) "This year it's actually going to be on Halloween so it's really exciting because first of all we're going to win first place, but now we're gonna scare them with our Bobcat fierce face, and the Lumberjacks will go down."
The Bobcats will take on Stephen F. Austin at 2 p-m Saturday.
The first-ever Homecoming Kick-off Rally was held in the L-B-J Amphitheater Tuesday and the first Spirit Stick was introduced as well.
Student Coordinator Roman Arispe (Air-is-pee) says the rally is a good way to boost school spirit.
SB: (10 secs) "I feel Texas State's on a way to becoming something bigger and better and I know that a lot of faculty and staff on campus are trying to increase the pride and tradition here."
The rally featured Hip Hop Congress, the Texas State Band Drum Line and, of course, cheerleaders.
The King and Queen, along with best Halloween costume, will be announced at Saturday's tailgate.
