Now that you’ve had a full day to recover from the heartbreaking 21-17 loss to Michigan State, it’s time to relive the other, more successful parts of Homecoming weekend.

Another exciting moment during the parade is the longstanding tradition of announcing the upcoming year’s THON theme. THON 2019 will be (drum roll, please) “Shape The Moment.”
