学生 run on to the football field before the first home game

一年级学生的跑步!

Just before kickoff at the first home football game of the year Gunrock leads any first-year student who is up for it out onto the football field! While it isn't required to officially become an Aggie, it sure makes you feel like one. Our football games and other sporting events are full of other traditions as well, 筒袜疯狂, free pizzas for the loudest fans and even Pint the dog that retrieves the tee after every kickoff!

小狗互相赛跑

Doxie德比!

One of the many traditions attached to the annual 野餐的一天 event is the Doxie Derby! Dachshunds from around the Sacramento area gather to test their speed against their oddly shaped peers. The event is a fan favorite and is among several other traditions that keep the huge crowds returning year after year to the largest student-run event in the country.

 

Gunrock celebrates in front of the crowd at the homecoming Pajamarino

Pajamarino

Pajamarino is part of the homecoming celebration that has been around nearly 100 years! 这一传统始于20世纪30年代, when students snuck out of their dorms in their pajamas to welcome alumni riding the train to Davis for 同学会 Weekend. The students — wearing pajamas — and the bb电子糖果派对棋牌网址 Marching Band join with the alumni to march through downtown Davis to the annual homecoming bonfire on campus. 同学会 week is full of several other campus events that culminate with the homecoming football game.

 

An egghead with its face buried in a book outside of shields library

亲吻书呆子

According to this rather quirky tradition, kissing the Bookhead Egghead in front of Peter J. Shields 图书馆 will increase your chances of acing your finals. 知识分子 themselves are a must see for any student. The sculptures were created by the late professor and artist Robert Arneson in the early 1990's and have been making students and visitors smile ever since. There are a total of 6 eggheads in 5 locations, it is considered bad form for an Aggie not to visit each spot at least once!

Another one of 野餐的一天's fan favorites is the cow milking station. Student volunteers and professors from the Animal Science department set up the event every year to help our students and other 野餐的一天 visitors learn the art of milking a cow! Picnic day has many other animal related attractions including the Doxie Derby, 犬类飞盘比赛, equine shows and a police K-9 demonstration.
