"That's when football coach and athletic director Chester Brewer called for alumni to 'come home' to see the Tigers play Kansas in Columbia, starting a homecoming tradition on campus that over a century later remains, without question, one of the largest, most cherished celebrations of its kind."
"As late as the 1930s, after homecoming had become a common occurrence across the country, Brewer would perpetuate the notion Missouri started it all, and for decades the urban legend grew."
