It’s that time of year again, when we all dress up in costumes and stumble around begging strangers for free candy. The older we get, the more of a burden wearing a good Halloween costume becomes. When you’re a kid, who cares? Throw on a rubber mask and you’re a werewolf! But with adulthood comes a certain responsibility, a fidelity to the true spooky ethos of the holiday. Half-stepping is no longer allowed; you have to go all-in, which I plan to do this year.
But if you haven’t thought about your Halloween costume this year, let me offer a suggestion: Dress as a college football coach.
