Homecoming and Family Weekend Set for 2012
Arkansas defeated South Carolina in the 2011 Homecoming game.
Arkansas will host the University of Tulsa on Nov. 3 as part of Homecoming festivities on the Fayetteville campus. Additional details, including kickoff time and the network televising the game will be announced when it is determined approximately 12 days before the game.
The contest against the Golden Hurricane will be the 71st meeting between the two programs and the 91st Homecoming game in school history. The Razorbacks are 54-32-4 in the previous 90 Homecoming games. Arkansas has won its last six Homecoming games, including a 44-28 victory over South Carolina last year.
In addition, the University of Arkansas Family Weekend has been set for the Sept. 22, when the Razorbacks will host Rutgers University at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The game will mark the first time Arkansas and Rutgers have met on the football field.
For more than a decade the University of Arkansas Family Weekend has united thousands of Razorback parents, students, alumni and guests on campus for a weekend of university traditions and Razorback pride.
