Not every woman gets to ride with a PrinceGloria Dickie

NEWS FEATURES EDiTOR

Lingering at the southern end othe eld, eyes locked on the action,Princeas hes known by his barnnamestands at ull attention.

Its a Saturday evening at TD Wa-

terhouse Stadiumthe Mustangsclash against the Waterloo War-riors and the Western cheerlead-ers cartwheel their support romthe sidelines. But this mustang isbenchedcalmly waiting or one wild, celebratory canter aroundthe track.

With purple glitter on his tawnyhind quarters, violet hoo-bandsaround his ankles and a plum sad-dle blanket, hes not quite J.W.

Prince and his owner, cowgirlJulie Forrest, have been xtures at Western Mustangs games or sixyears, known to most ans simply asthe girl who rides the horse aroundthe track ater a touchdown.

A horse trainer, Texas LonghornCattle rancher, alternative animal

healer and animal communicator,Forrest already had an extensiveresum beore adding MustangAthletics to her list in 2005.

When the Athletics depart-ment was playing with the idea ointroducing a real Western actto the games, a sta member whohad trained her horse with Forrestmentioned her name, and romthere it took o.

For the rst year, Forrest used

another horse because the sandy-coated Prince was busy with rodeocompetitions.

I never had an opportunity tobring him because he was eithertoo tired or he was heading to an-other show, she explains with atouch o a country accent, i such

thing exists in southern Ontario.But now hes my ootball horse.Prince and Forrest have proven

to be an attraction at the gamesthat can rival the players them-selves at times. When parents drag[their kids] to a boring ol ootballgame the kids make sure to visitForrest and Prince.

The regulars always comearound and bring [Prince] anapple or a carrot. Even people rom

the opposing teamthey say theyonly come to see the horse girl,Forrest laughs, adding the peopleshe meets are what make the jobtruly enjoyable.

As only one o Forrests 15 horsesliving in Crediton, Ontario, the oot-ball eld is Princes claim to ame.

I decorate him beore hecomeshes all dolled up. Home-coming I usually doll him up a lotmore, put more sparkles on himand more purple stu.

And ater six years o experience,Prince is truly a ootball horse.

[He] never takes his eyes o theootball game, he stands there likea statue or the ull our hours anddoesnt move until its time to go,Forrest notes, with a touch o pride.

So many people come to take pic-tures o him, and theyre hugginghim, and doing everything to him,and hes so good. He just standsthere and takes it all in.

And naturally, as an avid oot-ball an, Prince shares one main weakness in common with the

crowdcheerleaders.The only thing he dont like ischeerleaders. It spooks him whentheyre up in the air because hesthinking you shouldnt be up thathigh, she laughs.

But its been un. I get to knowsome o the regular ootball ansrom all teams, not just Westernand people come back year ateryear and they say Were glad to seeyou! Thats why we came.

Homecoming is a time when stu-dents and alumni alike come to Western and cheer or the purpleand white. A big part o Homecom-ing is the ootball game and, beingstudents, the athletes on the West-ern Mustangs ootball team em-brace Homecoming like everyoneelse.

For Mustangs quarterback Don-nie Marshall, its about the spiritand pride that Western shows onthis one day.

Homecoming to me is all aboutthe student atmosphere and the ex-

perience. The ootball game is justas exciting as walking around cam-pus and seeing all the school spiritaround school, Marshall said.

I think the student experi-ence is all about that one day, headded.

His sentiments are shared byMustangs deensive back BeauLandry.

Homecoming is a un time oreveryone to get together, cheer onthe ootball team, represent ouralumni and our current students,Landry said. I think its a goodtime to celebrate what weve gotgoing on here at Western and cheeron our school.

As ar as the Mustangs are con-cerned, the Homecoming game ismore than just a normal regularseason game.

Its bigger. It brings the alumnirom all across the country. It bringsin all the student body. We have agreat tradition here at Western so itdoes put more pressure on us, butall the guys get amped up or it thatmuch more and everyones thatmuch more excited or it, ZachBull, Mustangs receiver, said.

Because o the atmosphereand the amount o people that willbe out, I think its denitely morethan a regular game, Nathan Riva,Mustangs running back. added.

Besides the students, Home-

coming serves as the time o the year when Western alumni makethe trip up to London and remi-nisce about the school they loveand the team they continue to sup-port. Among the alumni is noneother than Western Mustangs headcoach, Greg Marshall.

Homecoming is always a spe-

cial time around here. Players thatIve coached will be coming back,so there is always a bit o extrapressure, coach Marshall said.

You want to do well. You wantto show them that the program isin good shape. Were going to havea big crowd and a great atmo-sphereits an exciting time, headded.

In the Homecoming game,the high-powered Western Mus-tangs will take on a young YorkLions team with something toprove. Though the Lions have onlytwo points, they played very wellagainst Laurier in their rst game. And ater beating Waterloo 20-18

on September 17 or their rst wino the season, theyll be cominginto TD Waterhouse Stadium withsome condence.

They played Wilred Laurier re-ally tough in the rst game o theseason. They are getting some con-dence and theyre getting better,coach Marshall said.

They dont have the same ex-perience that we have, but werenot going to take it lightly. Anythingcan happen, he added. ThoughHomecoming sets the stage or thegreatest and most important gameo the regular season, the Mustangswill be sticking to their usual gamepreparations, as they seem to beworking thus ar.

We just take it one game ata time. Its Homecoming, so you want to win or everyone, but itsstill another game. We are watch-ing lm, same as we would withany other team, Pawel Kruba,Mustangs linebacker, said.

Krubas thoughts are shared byBull.

Just take it one game at a time.We have practices and watch lm. We practice two-and-a-hal hoursa night and watch two hours o lma night, so we will prepare or York just as we would prepare or Macor Ottawa. Its the same thing, Bullsaid.

Since the ootball game is one o

the cornerstones in the Homecom-ing celebration, theres a lot o hypesurrounding the game and a lot osupport or the team. The Home-coming game brings out the prideo everyone that bleeds purple andwhite and its because o this that itis more than a merely a game. Itsan institution.

its nally here.Mustangs battle Lons forstudents, alumn and prde

Its about 5 p.m. on a Thursday inSeptember, a relatively hot eve-ning or the time o year. The lastew players are trickling out o thelocker room as they try to get in

a ew warm up drills beore their5:15 p.m. sharp start time.Perhaps a couple o the strag-

glers were liting a ew more repeti-tions, or maybe some were tryingto squeeze in a ew more pages oreading beore having to put awaytheir books and report or duty attheir other joba Mustangs oot-ball player.

I we dont do it beore prac-tice then by the time you get home youre tired enough, and all you want to do is go to sleep, LirimHajrullahu, the Mustangs kicker,said.

The players cant be blamed or wanting to catch some shut-eyeater spending their entire night

most players arrive home around10:30 p.m.at TD WaterhouseStadium. And this is not a weeklyresponsibility, but rather a dailyone. Whether its rain or shine,rom Tuesday to Friday, the West-ern ootball teamincluding play-ers, coaches, trainers and medicalstaspend their evenings on theeld.

Its denitely like a ull time job, you have to keep on top o your schooling, but you know be-sides the academic side o thingsthe next most time consumingthing is the ootball, Daryl Waud,Mustangs rookie said. Its longdays but its all worth it to be part

o the team.Every teammate would agree

wholeheartedly with that state-ment, including Mustangs punterDarryl Wheeler.

You do it cause you love it andit doesnt seem like work becauseo the guys and [the] camarade-rie, he said. You know ootball isthe reward or going to schoolinterms o motivation one comple-ments the other.

By now its ater 7 p.m. and thesun is setting over the empty standsthat usually house the amiliarpurple clad crowd. In the ootballworld, the night is still young, andthe guys are in or a night o watch-ing lmsgame lm that is.

But you wont hear any o theguys complaining, because romthe end o August until the end oNovember, ootball is a huge parto their lives. All the weekly hoursaccumulated at practice, will beworth it when Saturday arrives.

One o the reasons I love beinghere so much is because coachesdemand a lot out o you [] they seethe potential in all o us, Wheelersaid. Guys would go through the wall or coach Marshall. He wantsto win as bad as everyone else andwe want to do him proud.

At 6:30 a.m. on Saturday morn-ing Greg Marshall will wake upater a less than ideal sleep.

I dont sleep that good thenight beore the game, he admit-ted. I usually dont eat a lot [either]because Im nervous. Then I grab acoee and I usually have to leaveand come here.

Here, o course, is TD Water-house Stadium. On Saturday thestadium will transormthe metalstands will be lled with studentsand alumni decked out in purple.

While coach Marshall arrives atthe stadium to begin his pregamepreparations, another Marshall wakes up or the big day. Around9 a.m. Mustangs starting quarter-

back Donnie Marshall will rise outo bed. He wakes up roommateJerimy Hipperson so they can start

the morning with their own uniquepregame ritual.

We watch the Kenny Chesneyvideo The Boys o Fall where they[have] Sean Peyton and John Mad-den talking about ootball, Mar-shall revealed.

And while Marshall and Hip-person preer to get amped up with country music and ootballmontages, teammate Hajrullahutakes a more stoic approach to hispregame routine.

[I] get up, take a shower andthen usually I just lay in my bed or10-15 minutes and just go throughthe game and the possibilities wehave to do or kicking, he said.

Individual players have a dier-ent approach to their morning rou-tine. Some, like Nathan Riva andMarshall, dont like eating much ongame day because o their nerves. While Wheeler admits to arrivingat least two and a hal hours beorethe game, others like Riva arrive alittle later, enjoying every little bito sleep he can get beore enteringthe stadium.

No matter what way each playeror coach approaches their pre-game routine, the one thing pres-ent in all their minds is their com-mon goalwinning. And althoughrepresenting a school with such ahistory o ootball success mightbe daunting to some, Riva revealshe enjoys the intensity.

Theres a lot o eyes on you soits nice to eel that pressure and itsnice to be kind o in the spotlight.

Rookie deensive tackle Waud isstill adjusting to that spotlight thatshines brightly on the Mustangsevery Saturday.

Its an honour, i you will, whenyou come out here and you see allthe ans and all the students outhere screaming or their home-town Mustangs. Its a great eelingto really be a part o the team.

Whether the game is won orlost, they all remain Mustangsproud to carry on the tradition thatis so embedded in the history o

this university. And or Hajrullahu,he insists hes ound his place.

I love the atmosphere here,I love the school and everythingabout it. I think I t perectly in thisand I think thats what makes me aMustang.

Yet, its dicult to dene whatexactly being a Mustang meansto every playerperhaps its their work ethic, or their absolute de-votion to their sportbut what-ever the reason, the ootball squaddon the purple proudly, and comeHomecoming, the boys hope tomake everyone at Western proud.

its an honour, f youwll, when you comeout here and you see

all the fans and allthe students out herescreamng for therhometown Mustangs.its a great feelng toreally be a part of theteam.

An interview with

J.W. MustangNot only is J.W. one o the bestlooking mascots in Ontario Uni-versity Athletics, he is also oneo the most entertaining. At pastHomecoming celebrations, weveseen him launched into the air bythe Western cheerleaders, support-ing the ootball team at TD Water-house and chatting up alumni.

Since, o course, he is a horse, Western Athletics hired a horse whisperer to translate J.W.sthoughts.

Whats your favourite thing to doat Homecoming?

Nneeiighh! At Homecoming, Ilove speaking to Westerns manyalumni who are kind enough tocome back to London to root or

our incredible ootball team.

What are some other Homecom-ing activities that you would wantto take part in?

There are so many things toenjoy at Homecoming. Westernstailgating band is always a rodeoo a time. Richmond Row is a gal-loping good place to be ater thegame. Westerns ne grass is an-other bucking-good perk!

How can you tell when the alumnihave had too much to drink?

They all start talking about their

hay days as Mustangs.

Are you jealous of the Mustangthat gets to gallop around the TD

Waterhouse track when Westernscores a touch down?

I dont mind saddling respon-sibility to a ellow horsey, and nei-ther do our cheerleaders! Theyknow how to harness the crowdor a studding game!

Are you old enough to get into TheCeeps? If so, whats your opinionof The Ceeps beer?

[Snifes.] Only two-legged Mus-tangs are allowed at the Ceeps. Icant stang it !

What have been your most mem-

orable Homecomings?The best Homecomings hap-

pen when the crowd is dressed inspurple. Really gives the awayteam a rein or their money!

Any suggestions to students whowant to have the best Homecom-ing experience possible?

Be responsible. Drink yourtrough water in moderation, andtake the reins on having the saestnight possible. Call a buggy at theend o the night, and plan to have astable to sleep in.

Homecoming is a time o celebrat-

ing and showing your purple pride.Here are some tips to make themost out o the day and not end upin the drunk tank.

1. Dont skip the football

game

Its the whole point o Homecom-ing! Even i you dont know the rstthing about ootball, it would be atravesty or you to not go to the big-gest game o the year at least oncein your university career. Take a ewhours o rom that pancake keggerand head down to the stadium.

2. Dont forget the pancake

kegger

Another unshakeable Homecom-

ing tradition. Whether its in some-ones dorm room, apartment,house or parking lot, theres noth-ing quite like waking up to a batcho sloppily prepared pancakes anda can o beer. Remember though,its not a real Western pancake keg-ger unless the pancakes are purple.I you are hosting the party remem-ber to keep it indoors or in yourbackyard, not on the streets.

3. Dont drink in public

Despite what you may think, thecops do not hold this law to a lowerstandard on Westerns party days.They can and will bust you or that warm hal a beer you elt too im-

portant to leave at home.

4. You dont want to drink too

much, too early

Theres the old adage about beerbeore liquor. Its pretty stupid.Homecoming is one o Westerns

traditional all day drink-a-thons.The key to those events is to pace yoursel. Sure it may seem like agood idea to wake up with a shoto vodka, but your stomach willget angry enough to actually growarms and start punching you romthe inside. Go slowly and start o with beer or another sot alcohollike wine, or coolers. Hard liquorin the morning may seem like un,but you end up looking and eelinglike a zombie on tranquilizers.

5. Take a nap

Beer in the morning may not make you vomit up your pancakes, butits still alcohol and still a depres-sant. That means ater several

hours o drinking you will starteeling tired. Dont try and ght it.I dont care how much Red Bull youtry to poison your body withyou will not be able to power throughor the entire day and night. Youwill, however, experience that per-ect storm o drinking called theDrunk Hangover. So schedule anhour or two around 3:30 p.m. totake a nice, rejuvenating nap. Butdont sleep too late.

6. Youre not going to get into

a bar after 9 p.m.

I you think a Monday night atJacks is crowded, consider your-sel innocently oblivious. Home-

coming is one o, i not the biggestparty nights o the year in London.

Whereas on a weekend some stu-dents might only go out one night,thereby diluting the crowd, onHomecoming everybody is tryingto get into the bars and clubs, which

are not designed to accommodateall o Londons party population atonce. And o course, many Alumniare coming home to Western thisweekend, which means that i youplan on going out, do so early. That way, youll have plenty o time tocomplain about how packed thebars are while you wait an hour oryour drink.

7. Dont draw attention to

yourself.

Theres no need to be the centre oattention while drunkenly stum-bling to your Homecoming des-tination o choice. Keeping it lowkey will keep you out o the drunktank.

8. Dont argue with the police.

I you run into problems with thepolice, youre ar more likely toget o with a warming i you co-operate with them. That semestero law you took in rst year doesnot make you a lawyer. Keep yourmouth shut.

Well, there you have it, Westernstudents. Follow this guide, andyoull have the perect day. Get outthere and make Western proud.

Homecoming mistakesHow to make the most out of the day

Kegger dos and dontsKeg parties are a staple o Home-coming weekend. Theyre a great way to celebrate, but theyre alsothe most dicult to pull o othe weekends estivities. Here aresome ool proo tips to pull o yourkegger this weekend.

Do: Turn down the tunes. Your kegparty is technically illegal with-out your liquor license, but i yourneighbours cant hear your party,theres no reason to call the cops.Better yet, invite your neighbours.

Do: Watch the guest list. Just be-cause you have 450 Facebookriends, it does not mean you haveto invite them all. No one wants topay or a cup ull o oam, so en-sure everyone at least gets a coupleglasses o the real thing.

Do: Discourage the keg stands. Yes,they are un, but you know thatsnife going around campus the week ater Homecoming? Thatsbecause your buddys cousin had acold which was given to everyoneat the party ater his lips were onthe nozzle.

Do: Make sure whoever is countingthe cash is sober. The last thing you want is all that hard earned cash

being used to make it rain. Makesure you know whos paid and whohasnt.

Do: I youre serving pancakes,make sure that persons sober too.Alcohol and heat dont mix, unless you want to spend the day in theemergency room.

Dont: Make the non-drinker pay. Whatever their reason, its prob-ably a good one. Picking on them isjust plain mean.

Avoiding your parentsHomecoming is here and you knowwhat that meansthings are liableto get a little bit wacky. Its a week-end meant or partying with yourriends, drinking and maybe evenattending a ootball game. Whatcould possibly go wrong?

For some o us, the most un-athomable notion could becomerealityyour parents at yourHomecoming.

Westerns been around or a while. Chances are some o yourparents are ormer Mustangs. And,in the true nature o Homecom-ing, maybe theyre coming homethis year. Heres how to avoid thosepesky parents.

Censorship is key. I your par-ents have your cell phone num-berwhich they domake sure you have call display. I you donthave it, youre better o not takingany calls. I you dont answer, youcant talk to them.

Most importantly, or those oyou stupid enough to actually addyour parents to Facebook, Twitter,or any other orm o social media,dont post your plans online.

Western has a huge campus, butinevitably i youre trying to avoidsomeone, youll run into them.Luckily, the girls here at Westernhave perected a ull-proo way to

disguise your entire acehugesunglasses. Just throw on a pair othem, and your own mother wontrecognize you.

When alcohol is involved, crazythings happen. I youre takingthings back to your place be sureto lock the doors. I your parentshave a spare key to your place andtheres the slightest chance o themshowing up during sexy-time, putthe chain on.
