What You Know 'Bout Dat: HU Homecoming

This weekend's gonna be crazy. You see, I am a college student. A college student that goes to "The Mecca," "The Capstone," "The Hilltop."

I am a black guy that goes to Howard University. Stereotypical, isn't it?

Our school's "Homecoming" for 2007 happens to be this weekend. If you don't know anything about black college homecomings, gather up some dinero, put it in a plastic bag, and make it rain with me after the jump:


Here's the skinny on the Howard University Homecoming:
1. Lots of food, games, and free stuff.
2. Scantily-clad women frolicking about.
3. New artists (attempt to) gain fans and prove their worth by performing at Yardfest.
4. Random sightings of stunt-doubles, 2nd tier actors (think: Morris Chestnut), Lil' Bow Wow, washed-up NFL players, Antoine Bethea, Tyson Beckford (who?), and other assorted thespians who's careers are gasping for air.

Basically, Homecoming is a mega-palooza that swallows up all of D.C. in its wake. This includes all artists, writers, columnists, perverts, frat boys, students, Congressmen (probably coming for the scantily-clad women)...and bloggers. If I get a post in at any time this weekend, feel free to pat me on the back.

Next Week: My formal introduction to the blogosphere and an ode to Joe Torre's career.

  2. Yes, this IS a sports blog, one 'alexandria m,' (nice use of the full first name (didn't shorten it to 'Alex), but only the initial of the last name) but what you fail to realize is that this blog transcends mere sports.

    Look, I'm not trying to say that PointsOffTurnovers is revolutionary, taking the blogosphere by storm and should be bookmarked as the home page of every 'Net surfer...I'm just saying that PointsOffTurnovers is revolutionary, taking the blogosphere by storm and should be bookmarked as the home page of every 'Net surfer.
