Oklahoma State Hosts Homecoming & Hoops

Oklahoma State will kick off the 2008-09 basketball season and celebrate Homecoming at the same time on Friday, Oct. 17, as OSU will host the second annual Homecoming & Hoops. The event will start at 9 p.m. with doors opening at 8 p.m.

As part of Homecoming, the weekend's events will begin with the WalkAround, an annual stroll through fraternity and sorority row for tens of thousands of Oklahoma State fans and alumni to view the homecoming decorations.

At 9 p.m., the OSU Athletics Department and OSU Homecoming Committee will host a pep rally inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. Head coach Mike Gundy and members of the Cowboy football team will be in attendance to get the rally started.

The event will include a preview of the Cowboy and Cowgirl Basketball squads as they perform a midnight-madness type practice session, including intrasquad scrimmages for both teams. OSU will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pistol Pete and will have a visit from the Denver Nuggets' mascot Rocky, a high-flying mountain lion.

Doors to Gallagher-Iba Arena open at 8 p.m. Admission to Homecoming & Hoops is free.
