I Will Sing to You of Greater Things

A photo essay of my recent trip to the self-proclaimed "Greatest Homecoming on Earth".

Enjoy:

This is what the ACU Homecoming Parade consists of in large part. The Subbers ride in a van with industrial strength shocks that is also comically painted as a shark. Comedy ensues.

The baby in the foreground of the photo was taken by one of the Subbers who claimed to have acted in a rash manner due to "scurvy". Since there's not a large body of water for hundreds of miles around Abilene, it seems that the ACU Geography Department needs to establish a remedial program on how one goes about contracting scurvy.

The man, the myth, the legend: Jacob "Jig" Wardell taking in the festivities. In case you're wondering, he asked me to take this shot.

Brandon, Amber, Garrett, Nate, Jake, and Lance complete the Abbey Road tribute shot near Taylor Elementary.

  The floats were supposed to center around a "circus" theme, so I'm not sure how the Kojie float applies. Well, unless we're going with the clown car stereotype.
  The GSP float. As you can tell, the "lion cage" was not made of the most durable materials and was destroyed by a rogue tree along the parade route.
  The Frats float was simply a tractor. I don't even need a joke here.
