Is Halloween messing up anyone else's timeframe tomorrow or can most get it out of the way today?
October 30th, 2015 at 5:10 PM ^
I'd bet the Anoka Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitor's Bureau is behind that ludicrous load of crap.
"It was not until mass Irish and Scottish immigration in the 19th century that Halloween became a major holiday in America. Confined to the immigrant communities during the mid-19th century, it was gradually assimilated into mainstream society and by the first decade of the 20th century it was being celebrated coast to coast by people of all social, racial and religious backgrounds. "In Cajun areas, a nocturnal Mass was said in cemeteries on Halloween night. Candles that had been blessed were placed on graves, and families sometimes spent the entire night at the graveside."

Luckily my kids are young... 2 and 4, and it's supposed to rain. So we will be done well before kickoff. (and they trick or treated on Main St. today)
October 30th, 2015 at 4:54 PM ^
Can the Jug be flown back on the Delta charter as a carry-on?
Also, I'm currently at work haplessly trying to accomplish ANYTHING. Football seems like a distant memory. Can't wait for kickoff tomorrow.
This is me tomorrow evening:
GET OFF MY PORCH, KIDS! I'M WATCHING THE GAME!
October 30th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
F*#% Halloween. I'm watching Michigan football tomorrow (plus my kids are past the trick-or-treating stage).

A night out with my hot fiancee dressed up in something that is a little too scandalous for normal wear i'll be doing both!
October 30th, 2015 at 4:58 PM ^
Wait Halloween is tomorrow? Michigan plays tomorrow and that's all that matters. Go Blue!

on front porch, lights out. Take one you little jerks. Go Blue!
October 30th, 2015 at 5:19 PM ^
I tried this last year and the bowl was empty in five minutes. Bastards.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:36 PM ^
Put Bit O' Honey or Necco wafers in the bowl. They will last a long time! Anything good is gone like the wind.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:50 PM ^
Some bit'o honey!!
I'd probably take 2 or 3 of those!
October 30th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
I can't understand who eats those shitty Necco wafers. The company is still in business, which boggles my mind. www.necco.com
October 30th, 2015 at 9:18 PM ^
The good ol' New England Confectionery Company. Fine purveyors of NECCO wafers, and also conversation hearts. I read somewhere that both candies are the exact same ingredients, just formed into different shapes. That's some Yankee ingenuity.
October 30th, 2015 at 6:28 PM ^
Harbausian philosophy in the candy collection. Those kids will grow up winners for sure.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:05 PM ^
Take one and only one...
October 30th, 2015 at 5:06 PM ^
lets go paint the town maize and blue
whoooooo

Halloween plans in this neck of the woods are in a state of flux because of the weather forecast at the moment, which actually does bode well for me catching the entire game as opposed to missing part of the first quarter potentially. It really isn't my kids I worry about though because they aren't nearly as intrepid as the other kids on the street, so it is interruptions that concern me more now. I might have to put the "Game In Progress - Please Try Next Halloween" out.
October 30th, 2015 at 10:54 PM ^
I'm supposed to go to a Halloween party in town, unfortunately it conflicts with gametime, I'll either be late to the ball, or skip it until next year.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:19 PM ^
There are like 15 houses in my neighborhood and we are out in the middle of nowhere, not to mention no street lights and no sidewalks so we don't have trick or treaters thank gawd.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:52 PM ^
Yous one of dem reclusive mountain people, boy?
October 30th, 2015 at 5:23 PM ^
Mall of America tomorrow then gametime
October 30th, 2015 at 5:29 PM ^
Beggars Night is tonight, so I am good to go tomorrow night.

They didn't trick or treat on Halloween either. Didn't know it was a moveable feast.
October 30th, 2015 at 9:23 PM ^
Currently a Granite Stater. The day for trick-or-treating seems to vary around here. We go on Halloween itself, but some other towns do it on different night, and it seems to vary from year to year (I think they try to avoid Friday or Saturday?. I don't need that kind of confusion.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:40 PM ^
So, no problem there. The weather forecast has been fluid and it now looks like rain will end late afternoon, so the timing is perfect for masses of kids when the game starts. We also have lots of decorations and a smoke machine, so that brings them in, too. Wife will be handling the candy bowl while I watch the game. She's a keeper. Go Blue! Reclaim the jug!
October 30th, 2015 at 5:42 PM ^
Strangely seeing a few people celebrating Halloween down here in S Africa. But there's also Christmas decorations out while it's turning to summer so this is a strange place.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:48 PM ^
is a serious obstacle to my viewing the game live tomorrow night. DVR delay just isn't the same. Do I trick or treat with my nine year old or watch the game with my old man? I'm leaning toward the later as he's alive only so long and there's always therapy for the kid.
October 30th, 2015 at 5:51 PM ^
There are only so many Michigan games per year. Come on.

Buy him a second costume and give him instructions to run from house to house.

So ready to get that taste out of my mouth.
Wife trick or treating with the kids and I'm sitting in the garage passing out candy. TV in the garage on ESPN watching Michigan dominate. Can't wait to see this defense play again.
GO Blue.
October 30th, 2015 at 6:32 PM ^
Landed in Minny this morning and spent the day at the Mall of America. I've seen lots of Mich fans here!
October 30th, 2015 at 6:39 PM ^
I missed Braylonfest trick or treating. Had tickets to the game, sent dad and brother. Didn't even watch on TV. Tracked score on state of the art 2004 flip phone.

This has been the longest bye week in history.
October 30th, 2015 at 8:09 PM ^
Small Halloween/watch party tomorrow night. About ten people. Gf will handle all trick or treaters.
October 30th, 2015 at 10:35 PM ^
Been waiting one full year since the unpunished dirty hit. I bet we are going to be physical tomorrow.
October 30th, 2015 at 11:46 PM ^
Happy Halloween! Go Blue! Let's take that damn jug back.

It's my sister in law. Thanks to the fact she has decided to grace her family with her presence tomorrow, a normally low key fun holiday has turned into a big to-do. How dare I try to break away from a rare sighting of her highness to watch a mere football game?
I will do more than try, I will succeed.
October 31st, 2015 at 5:56 AM ^
Cut those people out of your life. Follow your passion and youll be connected with other goal orientated, passionate people unconcerned with burdensome, petty obligations like dealing with a tyrannical SIL.
Or just call her a cunt, and the situation should take care of itself.

I'll miss the game until 8:00, trick or treating with kids. I'm pissed that they moved the start time to 7:00. At 8:00 I would have been good. I'll be checking scores at every house with my head down staring at my phone like one of "those" parents.
