It was pretty mellow on the University of Denver campus yesterday afternoon, with only a few students wandering beneath the colorful trees on their way to classes, the library, or the student center. That will soon change when homecoming weekend takes place from Thursday, October 30th through Saturday, November 1st. Since DU does not have a football team, the big event will be the hockey game between DU and Alaska Anchorage on Saturday, November 1st. And before that game, the Homecoming Tailgate will take place for alumni, their families, and friends. I actually attended that tailgate party last year, although I did not actually attend the hockey game (that costs serious money). Amazingly enough, after working almost 30 years at the DU Bookstore and getting an MBA there at the same time, I did not recognize a single person. I did discover Melvin IPA, since I bought a ticket in advance that was good for two beers, and drank them while wandering around the tailgate grounds. And was it the festive Crimson and Gold atmosphere promised by the university? Only after those two Melvin IPAs.
