Cal Poly Homecoming 2005: Forever Green and Gold

Spirit Week in Photos

Cal Poly's annual Homecoming Week Spirit Activities took place under sunny skies this year. The Laugh Olympics once again brought the Cheetoh Toss, Mustard Slide, and 'Mount Your Mackerel' contest -- sort of like polo, only with seafood as the primary weapon. Scroll down for photos of Spirit Week 2005.

Spirit Week activities started with the hanging of banners by participating student clubs. Later in the afternoon, Musty, Cal Poly's mascot, helped get everyone in the spirit during UU hour by hanging out with adoring fans, the Mustang Band, and the cheer squad. (Below)

The Cheetoh toss is always a messy competition...but so is the sponge toss (below)

It wasn't all fun and games during Spirit Week, even though these teammates participating in the fishfight seem like they are having a good time (left).

Students also lined up for a Homecoming Blood Drive (below).

Cal Poly is one of the top donors when it comes to supporting the Tri-Counties Blood Bank.
