HOMECOMING 2017

Rhythm of the Boar For 106 years, Mizzou's Homecoming traditions have been favorites of alumni and students alike. The Mizzou Alumni Association's 36-student Homecoming Steering Committee (Steerco, for short) spends months planning the week's events, scheduled for Oct. 15-22. Meet the three dedicated Tigers who lead the group.

Pre- and post-game revelry is a college football tradition dating back to the sport's sepia-toned origins. Over the years, however, tailgating has evolved into a culinary, technological and recreational extravaganza.
