But the rules and Crimson Tide spirit the Homecoming Court. Today, mum corsages are no longer seen remain the same. As executive director of Homecoming, Ashley Hays, a senior majoring in public relations, described speckling the coveted court. the rules of homecoming: “If it’s not broke, don’t fi x it.” “Mums were not worn while I was in school, except by Homecoming Court; however, I think it is a tradition we should bring back,” Ashley Clayton, alumni events coordinator, said. “All the Homecoming photos from years past look so elegant with the ladies sporting their corsages.

The reigning Homecoming Queen would sit atop the elephant before the Homecoming game began. POMPING Pomping, or crinkling bits of colored tissue paper and gluing them to create large murals, is a large part of the Homecoming competition on campus. In the early 1930s, pomping made its way onto each fl oat for the annual parade. Now, lawn decorations filled with thousands of colorful pomps are judged and become an event all their own. “We put so much time doing it throughout the week, and it sucks. But when it’s done, it looks so cool, and there’s something beautiful about it,” Morgan Ballard, a sophomore majoring in special education, said. Ballard is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi and this is her second year pomping.

By Charlie Potter | Assistant Sports Editor

Alabama is known for its dominant running game and defense, but the Crimson Tide’s special teams has been the most consistent unit on the field this season. Senior punter Cody Mandell, senior kicker Cade Foster and soph- omore safety Landon Collins have made significant impacts thus far for Alabama, and fellow players and head coach Nick Saban have had nothing but praise for the their contributions. Mandell is averaging 47 yards per punt this year, more than 5 yards better than the Crimson Tide’s opponents. Saban said Mandell worked hard in the offseason to improve on plac- ing the ball almost exactly where the coach asks him to on the field. “I think every year that Cody’s punted … he has gotten more and more consistent, more and more confident in his preparation and approach to how he goes about what he does,” Saban said. “I think that his hard work and that approach has CW | Austin Bigoney benefited to his improvement.

By Danielle Walker | Staff Reporter This weekend, Alabama could very well cover its spread. The This is a team that’s now been favored in more than 45 games now, question is: Will Nick Saban really run the scoreboard up that which is unbelievable,” Kramer said. While it may come as no shock to fans that Alabama was picked much on Georgia State?
