The MGoPumpkin Carving Contest
If you're looking for the MSU preview, scroll down or click here.
Huh? We are bringing back the MGoPumpkin carving contest, this time with a DO-WANT prize for the victor. You, you, know, carve a pumpkin.
How do I enter? When you carve your masterpiece, take a photo and put it either in this thread, or on Twitter with a #MGoPumpkin hashtag. I'll judge the winner based on originality, concept, execution, and Michiganness. I'll see if I can rustle up some more prizes—I want to see ALL the pumpkins.
A prize you say? Winner gets $200 toward a stay at the brand spankin' new Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown. That's the hotel they just built on West Huron, next door to the Ann Arbor News building.
Why would this fabulous new hotel who seems like a sponsor…wait is this an ad? Kinda? The hotel is owned by the Martin family and friend of the blog Mike Martin. No not THAT Mike Martin, though this Mike's ties to the Michigan community are just a biiiit closer. Anyway this Mike Martin (NTMM) just got the go-ahead-and-open notice a few hours ago, so he's letting our readers be among the first to know. He's also running ads here for it.
Okay tell me of this hotel. Other than being brand spankin' new, it is a block from Main Street, which is pretty meaningful if you're the type who prefers dinner and a pub crawl to sitting in State Street traffic after a game. It's priced competitively, and has a free hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchens in every suite, and an indoor pool.

How do we feel about pumpkins that may or may not have been carved years ago?

Prefer they're either
a) This year or,
b) I haven't seen them before (e.g. the above).
Also I'll judge AFTER Halloween.

You used to be able to see the Big House from the condos on top of that brown building next door. The brick building on Main and William mostly got rid of that. You can still hear the cheering on game day though.

Edit: OK. Not sure why the image won't transfer.
Does not matter, from last year.

Excellent job. I like how simple it is, terrifying and badass all in one.
