Q&A with Cale O'Bryan

Cale O’Bryan was crowned Homecoming King in 2009. O’Bryan talked to the IDS about his experiences as IU royalty for a week.

IDS What did the title of Homecoming King mean to you?
O’BRYAN In my opinion, Homecoming King represents the student body and embodies the spirit of a Hoosier. You are present at a football game, and you embrace the whole culture of IU.

IDS What were the perks of being Homecoming King?
O’BRYAN I got to participate in the parade and ride in a convertible. We were presented as Homecoming Court in front of tailgate and at the Sample Gates during the pep rally. For the most part, it was the icing on the cake. We all bonded really well together.

IDS Why do you think you all got along so well?
O’BRYAN Many of the Homecoming Court members worked in the community and in student body organizations. I was honored that I was on the same level as those guys.

IDS Since you are now a Maurer School of Law student, are you still going to be participating in the Homecoming festivities?
O’BRYAN At this year’s Homecoming, I am going to be more of an observer. I had my fair share during my undergraduate experience.
