The primal barks of eighty thousand fanatical fans will echo between the hedges at Sanford Stadium. It’s Homecoming Week!

Across the turf is Gunner Stockton. A name that sounds less like a modern quarterback and more like a rugged, turn-of-the-century mountaineer who wrestled black bears in the blue mists of Union County. . . . and they say you can’t go home again…
