i don't see the point to homecoming

I didn't even know it was homecoming weekend... yeah, I fail on my school spirit. BUT I did know this weekend my baby Ben Roethlisberger did a good job and led my baby Steelers to victory :) And Hines Ward did a great job in that touchdown pass. Oh I'm so proud! But I digress, I haven't paid attention to homecoming since 10th grade of high school. I did notice how many people, other than myself, were putting up tweets and facebook statuses about their respective homecoming activities, both high school and collegiate. YAY homecoming. I my mind, homecoming and other traditions have been turned into media fuel.
