It was an exciting fall weekend to be in Bloomington as the campus community celebrated Homecoming 2022 on Oct. 7 and 8. Hoosiers kicked off the weekend decked out head-to-toe in cream and crimson for "Gear up Friday." The day continued that afternoon with the 100th Homecoming parade followed by the annual basketball season tip-off event, Hoosier Hysteria, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. On Saturday, Hoosiers were up bright and early for the Fox Big Noon Kickoff show before the Hoosiers hosted the Michigan Wolverines at Memorial Stadium.
