Throughout this Halloween week, each day there have been more and more costume sightings around campus. Whether it is dressing up with friends or wearing a costume to a club meeting, there are many opportunities to show off creativity and personality.
With a football game the day before Halloween, it was no surprise to see costumes sprinkled in among the fan attire at the stadium today. Joseph Matthews, the hotdog sitting in the row behind me, gave me the rundown of his costume experience.
Joseph decided to show off his costume at the game today because he wanted a chance to be on tv.
“I felt like it was going to get me on ABC, and I heard about Fan of the Game,” he explained. “I’m going for that…get those air pods, that’s what I heard.”
While he did not get fan of the game, his school spirit was evident.
You may be wondering what inspired Joseph to dress up in a hotdog suit. It was a matter of fate.
“I won the costume at church and had no other option.”
Last-minute Halloween costumes can still be the best, however. Joseph claims he has not seen any costumes on campus that tops his hotdog suit. He has even worn it to Chick-fil-A and Braums. However, he does admit that it is not the best costume he has ever worn.
“I was dressed up as Phantom of the Opera when I was in third grade with my sister,” he told me.
I have to agree that would make a better costume than a hotdog.
Who knows what other free costumes Joseph might have been willing to wear. He does, however, draw the line for one thing: he would never dress up as an OSU fan. Seeing that the OU football game is where he chose to wear his costume, this is probably for the best.
