Weekend Includes Parade, Bo’s Battle Que, Hall of Fame Gala and Worship at the Webb

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Vlog is honored to have the U.S. Army Golden Knights perform at 1 p.m. before the Homecoming Game. The team will bring down the game ball in their parachute jump in time for kickoff at 1:30, when the Runnin’ Bulldogs take on Lindenwood.

We hope alumni, families, and friends of the University will create Homecoming ‘24 memories by making plans to be a part of the activities offered Oct. 18-20.”
