P-F25 NCAA Week 10 Bonus: Imagine a Pick'em Halloween Party. What’s your costume game plan?

The Pick'em plane mysteriously lands near a deserted town. The scoreboard flickers in the window like a haunted sportsbook, and wandering around are a few kids dressed as a 6-6 season. The house has a sign reading "Trick or Treat… Mostly Treat!" and a bowl full of bonus points poorly disguised as tampered wrapped candy. 

There’s a knock at the door… 

Knock 1 - Club Random: First up we’ve got a cluster of grapes, Run-DMC (presumably Rev Run... despite it being a very committed white guy in Adidas), and Tails (editor’s choice: from Sonic). Not far behind is someone and two minions dressed together as 7, 3, and 6. If you don't get the costume, that's the number of days Oklahoma hasn't scored a touchdown against The University of Texas. Full-size Snickers and Twix for everyone. (CC,CG+3; CN,AN+4)

 

Knock 2 - This is SportsCenter: The Vanderbilt Commander, Oregon Donald Duck, and Dan Wetzel carrying a case of Busch with a fat bear in tow walk into a bar. “No animals,” says the sign. Bear points at Duck. “That's a service bird.” “No o
utside drinks,” says another sign. Wetzel hugs the case. “That's my emotional support Busch.” The fat bear eats both signs. The Commander says, “Anchor down.” Bartender hands him a double and everyone's tab. They leave with loose Charleston Chews, candy corn, and maybe a police report waiting to happen. (KH,RD+3; RK+4)

Knock 3 - Alumni Afterparty: The door swings open and Michael Irvin barrels in, nostrils “dusted” from an unfortunate run-in with the powdered-sugar funnel cakes. Right behind him, a true-crime reenactment: A #9 McNair jersey floating like a ghost with a stern “don’t make this weird” sign around its neck. In the yard, a mysterious lurker (the one who never answered) who is either the suspect or future victim. We'll never know. Pixy Stix are handed out with a candle for #9. (MN+2, KW+3)

Knock 4 - The Clipboard Cartel: The door opens to a convention of fallen coaches. Two Brian Kellys, Tom Herman’s pee chart, and Ed Orgeron -- all in a shrimp boat. The Kellys argue about accents, Herman looks thirsty, and Orgeron keeps yelling “Yah Yah Geaux Yah Shrimp Yah.” In the rear sits a coach on the hot seat, a recliner with seat warmers set to broil and a blinking “year three” light. Everyone gets Smarties and a handful of Swedish Fish. Orgeron’s boat also gets the baby and must host the next party. (BR+2; DR+3; DW,MK+4; RH+5). 

Knock 5 - The Birthday Riddle: Three walk in, each distinctly wearing birthdays. Two share the candles, but not their names. Each dons the other’s crown, signs the other’s fame. A third arrives costumed as one birthday twin, borrows his swagger, clips on his pin. So tell me, crowd, before the song’s begun:

Who’s the real birthday boy when everyone’s one? (editor's note: I obvs didn't write that. I prompted it.) (GN,ON+3; KS+4)
