University of Central Arkansas celebrates 100 years of learning with their homecoming festivities including the football game against the Nicholls State Colonels, from Thibodaux, LA. The theme this year was BEAR FEVER and some took this very seriously! With the multitude of "bugs" that may be caught on any college campus, BEAR FEVER looks to be, well....you judge for yourself.
The parade was held downtown Conway for the first time in 30 years.
What is homecoming without cheerleaders?
As we moved to the game at beautiful Estes Stadium on the UCA campus, we were graced with a fly by, by the 188th Airborne out of Fort Smith, AR. 
The game proved to be very intense! The scoring stayed tight until the second half.
With every touchdown, we CELEBRATED BEAR STYLE!
I've decided that I want Nathan on my Fantasy Football Team...He is more consistent than many we have had!
At the half, the score was 21-21.
The band added to the excitement by making their rounds into the stands.
The Colonels took the lead with 2 touchdowns, a missed extra point and then a 2 point conversion. The BEARS were not to be outdone. They came back to tie the game and regulation time ended with the score 42-42. BEARS win the toss to attempt to score first, and do...this is the touchdown and the the kick for the extra point was good!
Then the Colonels get the ball...but fate was with the BEARS this homecoming game. The Colonels fumble, the BEARS recover and the game ends.
The Outstanding Player Award went to Nathan Brown of Russellville, AR!
Final score 49-42 BEARS!!!
CONGRATULATIONS BEARS ON YOUR HOMECOMING VICTORY!!!
