Dean Charles Bullock, of the College of Applied Sciences and Arts, got a chance to spend some time with San José State University’s Homecoming King Daniel Harris-Lucas, right, and Homecoming Queen Diana Busaka, center, at the game against the Wyoming Cowboys. Harris-Lucas and Busaka are reported to be the first African-American couple voted in as homecoming King and Queen in SJSU history. Harris-Lucas is a public relations major in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications while Busaka is a student in Occupational Therapy. For many fans, Saturday’s game started out with tailgating in the parking lots outside the stadium before they took seats in the stands. While the Spartans started off behind in the first half of the game, they picked up steam in the second half when they rallied to pull off a win in the last seven seconds of the game. They ended the game with a score of 51-44.
