Dear Editor, A decade ago I could be found traipsing around the Ball State campus just as many of you are doing right now.

Ball State football playing on ESPN2 the day after Halloween means one thing: college students in full costume, hoping to get on national television for five seconds of post-commercial glory. Ahead of the game against No. 17 Western Michigan, here are some suggestions to deal with the costume policy released by Ball State Athletics for the game.
Musicians used to look at a song as a message, or an expression of innermost feelings. Many still do believe this, but that population is starting to shrink.

I cried three times after the game. Twice Saturday night when I witnessed a 71-year-old World Series drought come to an end, and once more after I woke up the next morning realizing that it wasn’t a dream. Sitting by myself, I re-watched the final play of the National League Championship Series — a play that I, like so many other Chicago Cubs fans, will not soon forget. Six words from long-time Fox Sportscaster Joe Buck will resonate with fans after the Chicago Cubs knocked off the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in Game Six of the NLCS. "The Cubs have won the pennant."
What will happen to the Cubs fans if they do win? My theory is that Cubs fans are either going to be the absolute worst-behaved fans or to be so happy that all they can do is smile. Now, before the entirety of the Midwest loses their mind, give me one second. Deep breaths, Chicago, deep breaths.
To take home the win for this year's Homecoming, you can add several things to your outfit.
Scheumann Stadium holds 22,500 people. The team it houses is 4-3 this year, already more wins than last year, and looks like it will become bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. And the stadium is rarely even half full.
Words cannot even describe how much Scott Mescudi’s music has meant to me over the years. I am sure I'm not the only one. It has been in my headphones, my car, my room and my laptop.
In this wild and crazy election year, the standards for elections and candidate decorum has basically been thrown out the window.
