Somewhere a pot of gold. Under a dark and ominous sky at the Winona State stadium, the Warriors take to the field. Ahh, the creative and beautiful wonders of artistic liberty in this university-provided rendering. And for the rest of the story: The rain never fell, as it never does, and the Warriors won, as they always do.
Homecoming football pits Warriors, Augustana
WINONA, Minn. – Perhaps the homecoming planners at Winona State consulted the Farmer’s Almanac in choosing a theme for the 2023 alumni get-together. Perhaps not. The theme is “Chanel the Flannel,” which has a nice fall ring to it. But what if the weekend of October 14 turns out to be Indian Summer? Well, everybody can chuck the flannels and have a good laugh. The heart of the weekend is a Northern Sun league football game with fourth-ranked Augustana of South Dakota. The pre-season conference coaches’ poll has Winona State at sixth. The alumni weekend starts Monday, October 16, with the crowning of homecoming royalty. The parade down Huff Street is Saturday at 10 a.m. Movie night on Wednesday will feature the 2002 fantasy adventure “Scooby Doo.” Many alums will remember. ‘Twas big back then.
