Homecoming - Mandato...

Green spent much of his childhood in Fresno, California, just three hours south of Sacramento. Houston's games Wednesday and Friday night at the Golden 1 Center won't exactly be a homecoming for Green, though it will suffice by NBA standards as he plans to have family in attendance. Green said Tuesday he recently spoke with his mother, who does not know if she will attend Wednesday's game or Friday's contest due to flooding in Northern California.

Homecoming - Mandato...

Hurts played his first career game at NRG Stadium. Hurts, who was born in Houston and grew up about 25 miles from the stadium, continued his solid play in his homecoming to win his 11th straight regular-season game, which is the longest active streak in the NFL.

It has been an incredible week of homecoming activities on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and in Acadiana in general. We've painted the town red or vermilion if we're being on point. We've yelled like hell. We've worn red and gotten fed. But there is still a lot of "homecoming" left.

Because of television obligations, the homecoming football game is going to kick off at 11 am. That has meant a bit of change in normal gameday operations. Well, not for the crew the organizes the games for the University but for us fans who like to bitch and moan about every little thing that isn't exactly the way we want it to be.

While today's homecoming schedule includes things like a golf tournament and tennis tournament and a big Greek Expo most of us are already turning our attention to Saturday. There are more than a few events leading up to and after the actual game that you'll want to be aware of.

Don't be stupid. We are doing double tailgating for homecoming. There will be fan tailgating before the game. We certainly hope you will leave your tailgate spot to line the parade route, the Cajun Walk, and the Rally at Russo. After the game, there will be live music all over the place. Student tailgating will take place for two hours after the game on the Practice Fields near the stadium.
