Reminder: 89 is using it correctly, kiddos. There is Hobo Day and Hobo Week. There is no such thing as "Hobo Days". [/end_rant]

From what I can remember it was more of a "daze" anyway.

Earlier when I read this I was trying to remember who has OCD over the name of this week. Now I know!

Correct or not, Hobo Days is generally accepted by the masses...

Frankly, imo, it sounds better to me, it sounds like a big party, like multiple days of just fun. Hobo week just sounds to administrative.

Then the masses aren't very bright. This year is the 99th Hobo Day, I can't see changing almost 100 years of tradition because the recent additions to the Jackrabbit family are either too lazy or not smart enough to understand their own history.

Re: Happy Hobo Week

It is Hobo Day. A couple of schools to the south need Days because they can't get it done right in one day. Although I too have vague memory of Hobo Daze.

And google is actually based off of the # "a googol" but I digress... It was simply an observation

Re: Happy Hobo Week

Its always been Hobo Day in my mind, but I am old school and dont count. If you are in a daze, then you have problems. Long term ones which may include rehab.

Re: Happy Hobo Week

It's Hobo Day but I must admit I didn't really care if people called it Hobo Days until I started spending time here. Looking forward to the weekend. Yankton Jackrabbit Club gathering at Skinners Friday night and then tailgating and the FB game Saturday. Unsure if the kids will want to go to the parade or not, depends on the weather and that looks shaky at best right now.

I'm ready to witness a butt kicking by the Jackrabbits. I hope that happens.

Re: Happy Hobo Week

They used to bill Hobo Day as the "biggest one-day event in the Dakotas." So Hobo Week was the rest of the week. As a journalism professor, I think words and brands matter. Everything communicates. Hobo Day is different than Dakota Days. Why would we want to diminish our successful brand by altering a 99-year tradition?

Re: Happy Hobo Week

Has anyone else 'buried' the razor for the weekend? I really wish some of the old traditions from the last 99 years would make a rebound.

Re: Happy Hobo Week

I remember the little skit they did, acting out the burial of the razor early in the football season way back when. That was a fun tradition.
