Homecoming At A Glance
October 9, 1986
|
|
|
A brief note about this one. From what I remember, Jimmy Buffett
was slated to perform at Gator Growl that year and he cancelled out at the
last minute. Also at this time, the Pet Shop Boys had released only
one album and George Bush still was only the vice president. I think
this was also before Emmitt Smith.
I think the reason I'm so fond of this one today is that I actually own a
copy of the Pet Shop Boys Greatest Hits (called Discography).

TODAY
Gator Expo '86
Hundreds of pamphlets and leaflets about organizations with fewer than twenty
active members, but more than two hundred real members will be strewn all
over the Union Lawn by nightfall.
Kick-off Party
Two no-name hic bands with cute names will perform the Pet Shop Boys Greatest
Hits for your enjoyment.
FRIDAY
Gator Gallop
A cross-country "fun-run" in search of Jimmy Buffett (dead or alive).
Prizes will be given if found before tonight's growl.
Parade
This year's Parade theme is "Death". Our scouts report that groups
have chosen "Jimmy Buffett", "The 1986 Gators", and the "George Bush - Blue
Key Banquet" as their float topics.
Florida Blue Key Smoker
With its expected turn-out of three people, this will be the emptiest Homecoming
event of all, since no one smokes anymore and those that do are definitely
not in Blue Key.
Florida Blue Key Banquet
With its expected turn-out of four people and one hundred gorillas, this
will be the second emptiest Homecoming event of all, since people prefer
to tall asleep in bed and not in a chair listening to George Bush, who will
be surrounded by one hundred gorillas.
Gator Growl
Featuring Billy Crystal, the UF Marching Band, Coach Hall (whose appearance
is sponsered by Golddome Savings), the Sweetheart Crowning, no Jimmy Buffett,
and a parachute team (within one mile of Florida Field).
SATURDAY
Barbeque
I hope you know what a barbeque is (for people from surrounding areas, this
is a BAR-B-Q).
Gators vs Kent State
Be an athletic supporter and come out and see the game... it should be a
fairly even match-up.
Starship Concert
Two no-name hic bands with cute names will perform the Pet Shop Boys Greatest
Hits for your enjoyment.
SUNDAY
Orange And Blue Open Golf Tournament
Destined to be the most EXCITING event this Homecoming Weekend (unless the
fireworks set the Growl crowd on fire again).
