FSU PowWow
FSU's Homecoming PowWow is the signature event during homecoming week. PowWow is held in the Donald L. Tucker Center before the homecoming game, usually on a Friday night. PowWow features performances by the FSU cheerleaders, the FSU Golden Girls, FSU Flying High Circus, as well as various other student organizations.
The main function of PowWow is to function as a pep rally for the winter sport teams as well as the football team. The voice of the Seminoles Mr. Gene Deckerhoff hosts the event and includes appearances by head football coach Bobby Bowden and the Seminole football team, Leonard Hamilton and the men's basketball team, Sue Semrau and the women's basketball team and Bob Braman and the track and field teams.
PowWow culminates with a headlining comedian. Headliners in the past include (in order of most recent appearances); Sarah Silverman, Stephen Colbert, Larry the Cable Guy, Carlos Mencia, Cedric the Entertainer. Dave Attell, Dane Cook, Dave Chapelle and many more have made appearances in the past.
The 2008 homecoming theme was "Homecoming 2008: Unconquered Legacy" and comedian host was Jimmy Fallon.
