I noticed on the schedule for this fall, Homecoming is the first Saturday in October. Most recent Homecoming games have been the last Saturday in October, at least late Oct. I can't see any obvious football reason for the move. Anybody have any insight on this change? Frankly this doesn't mean much/anything to me, but I'm just curious.

Weather has sucked so late in the year and attendance has been awful. Positive move here.

True for this year! It rained a cold nasty rain all day and I'm sure it hurt attendance
12723 for Homecoming this year, 2 weeks earlier 16408
HOWEVER in 2016 the attendance for Homecoming was 15082 vs 2 weeks earlier 13375
October is October. Some Saturdays great, some not so much. I don't seen attendance or weather being an influence. Wonder of school calendar works better earlier? Whatever. Something to waste a few minutes on when nothing else is going on.
Men home tomorrow. Women on 4 game road trip, (that's going to be tough. Hope Nickki can play!)
