Does this make any sense? Does homecoming really even mean sh!t other than banners on sorority houses? Someone educate me on this.

No - went to uga. Don't recall anything ever happening during homecoming that was different than a normal game.

Aggie ring tradition predates high school rings.

Rest for your starters
Game experience for your backups
Confidence boost before resuming a tough schedule
Recruits getting a good experience
Pretty Girls wearing nice dresses
Chance for families to attend a game (ticket availability and affordability)

Other than that,

Get alumni on campus. Throw special functions for 'em and kiss their arse, putting 'em in a good mood. They get to watch their football team kick arse, putting 'em in a better mood. Then hopefully they donate some money. Rinse. Repeat...at least that seems to be the plan...

Gives you an opportunity to play all of your seniors that may not see PT while not having to do it during the last game of the season (which for most is in-state rivalry/decently important games).

UK has a bunch of non-Greek, alumni events that go along with the homecoming game.

Ok, here we go.

Homecoming is just what it says. Homecoming. It is for alums, not students. Students are there to make sure alums coming back to school have a good time.
With that, who the hell would feel like partying, having a good time with old friends and going to alumni functions after a loss?

It's amazing how ignorant some of the posters on this board are.
