ESU Traditions HOMECOMING – Tailgating is a tradition that Emporians take seriously. Wear your black & gold and cheer on the Hornets. Make it a full weekend with tickets to the Homecoming musical. WOOSTER LAKE – Legend has it that if you kiss your partner at midnight on Wooster Bridge, you will marry that person. SILENT JOE BELL TOWER – The 1400 pound bell is rung to announce a Hornet football victory. The bell tower became known as “Silent Joe” in 1939 after a losing streak.
