Homecoming 2022 SHOULD be in 52 days at high noon with the sun in no one's eyes. You can have more than one homecoming in a season right? Louisiana vs Texas State.
Even though UL abandoned the tradition over 70 years ago, there have STILL been more Louisiana Homecomings on that day, than any other date in UL history.
Thursday November 24th twelve o'clock high. Enjoy the victory the rest of the day with family.
Homecoming
"Catch the Locals Attention"
Not this again....

Are you saying that UL used to do homecoming on Thanksgiving Day?
Yes it was once the standard.Quote:

Home and on the road.
All the home games on TG Day were Homecoming.
You know what else was the standard with that? Playing Northwestern State on Thanksgiving Day prior to WWII. Let's reignite that rivalry in front of a generous 3,500 fans.Quote:
