School Traditions
The most popular game during the Jackrabbits season is their Homecoming game popularly titled "Hobo Day". This day is one of the oldest homecoming traditions in the NCAA starting all the way back to 1912.
The Jacks also have a yearly cattle rally at a football game during the season. Farmers are escorted out to center field and are asked to bid on cattle that are brought out into the stadium. This game has been coined by the student body as the "Beef Bowl".
