Homecoming Weekend



It was homecoming weekend at the University of Denver this past Saturday and Sunday.  As an alumni, I am sure I got an e-mail inviting me to attend, but forgot all about it until I cam home Friday evening and saw some sort of outdoor party, including a blue grass band, going on across the street in from of DU's Ritchie Center.  It was evidently a warm up for the hockey game that was taking place that night (DU does not have a football team).  It was the same on Saturday night, too, except that night featured a big bank sound.  For all of you keeping score out there, DU and Lake Superior State (from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan,  no less) tied 3-3 Friday night, while Saturday night DU beat them  5-1.  Go Pioneers!  I guess).  And by the way, the above sign was built in preparation for the presidential debate held at the University of Denver in 2012.  DU spent millions to host the debate, in hopes of bringing prestige to the school.  Ironically, the following Saturday, Saturday Night Live put on a skit that satirized the debate, which they said took place at the University of Colorado.  Oops...
