According to “The Mulerider School’s Centennial History,” the first homecoming football game in 1915 saw a “hard-won, 7-0 victory” for SAU, then called the Third District Agriculture School (TDAS). The “Magnolia Aggies,” which became Muleriders in the early 1920s, defeated the Boll Weevils on a rainy Thanksgiving Day.
The week leading up to game day held daily homecoming-related activities, including a Monday evening pep-rally in the Greek Theatre, a Tuesday night drive-in movie at the Reynolds Center parking lot, and the popular Great SAU Campout and Bonfire Friday night.
Other weekday events included the Rankin College of Business’ third annual “Light for the Fight” ceremony Monday evening. SAU’s new Tuesday night Team Study initiative hosted a centralized celebration and study session in the Reynolds Center Grand Hall. Also, the 32nd annual Murphy Lecture which featured CNN’s Christine Romans Thursday morning in Harton Theatre.

The game at Saturday was against the Oklahoma Baptist Univ. Bison. Prior to start, the homecoming results announced Mia Hyman as homecoming queen, as well as recogniing several individuals for the Mulerider Hall of Fame. The first half of the game saw a lot of build up in tension, with little scoring until the second quarter, when many scores were taken aback by a referee's flag, mostly on the muleriders. The second half even things out, though it wasn't a “great” game, it wasn't a bad game at all. Overall, the Muleriders came out on top with a score of 38 over OBU's 20.
