Bad News For Those of You With the "Stanzi Ninja Army Gun" Costumes and Season Tickets

by Oops Pow Surprise on Oct 29, 2009 7:15 AM CDT in Football Comment 43 comments

In case you haven't noticed, our game this weekend against Indiana is on Halloween. Which means, of course, that those of you with season tickets can avoid the typical walk of shame and go straight to the game from your latest shameful hookup without anybody being the wiser. Hooray hooray for that, though you may want to check your face for flagrantly profane Sharpie graffiti first. Kind of hard to be a convincing zombie with "BALLS FART" written on your forehead.

But per the Press-Citizen, the security staff has a few requests about Halloween costumes for this Saturday morning, and they're about what you would expect:

The University of Iowa would like to remind fans of the following rules concerning costumes at Hawkeye games.

• No weapons, simulated weapons or other props.

• No authentic looking law enforcement uniforms.

• No player or game official uniforms that, in the sole discretion of authorized law enforcement personnel are so authentic in appearance that they might be mistaken for an actual player or game official.

• No item which, in the sole discretion of authorized law enforcement personnel, poses an apparent security threat to those attending the game.

Also, no Zombie Nile Kinnick costumes. It's at once three-decades-played-out and too soon.

"No authentic looking law enforcement uniforms."

Is Sexy Cop’s uniform authentic? Or just awesome?

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

I can still show up as Zombie Michael Jackson, right?

I was going to go as Zombie Beano Cook...

which is easy, since it’s the same as regular Beano Cook.

If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

Anybody can be an asshole now and then.

So I’ll be going as Rich Rod.

I was gonna go as a Harris Poll voter

(There were some truly tasteless options that I’ve refrained from using.)

Nothing?

Google has failed us! I didn’t know that was possible.

It never gets to be easy

Hey now, let's not generalize

There was one awesome Harris Poll voter who voted us #1. They should ban everyone but that guy, and then make him supreme emperor of college football. And then invent bionic joints so A-Rob and Jewel can play. And let Brad Banks come back because it’s not like he’s busy anyway. And maybe Eric Steinbach too because no one should have to play for the Browns. I have ideas, man.

Iowa's #1 Vote in the Harris Poll.

I thought about that, so I looked at the roster of Harris Poll Voters. Interestingly, George Wine is a Harris Poll voter. I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin.
