In my closet at home, I have a dark green football jersey hanging that hasn’t been worn since January 2008. That was the last time the Green Bay Packers went to the NFC Championship game. That was also the last postseason game for the franchise. That was also the last time Brett Favre played for the Packers. My jersey has a number four on the back of it.

Many of us envy the fame and appeal of celebrities; the star treatment, the notoriety, and the fans. If we don’t envy, many of us are intrigued by the attention and support they receive. Then, one night every year most of us dress up as these “stars” for fun and for show. While many argue that Halloween is a get out of jail free card for girls to dress slutty, it offers us an opportunity to get the same attention as those who we dress up as. For one night, we are in their shoes.

SOCCER: No. 19 ranked UCI falls to No. 4 UCSB in double overtime on Halloween night.
