With October quickly coming to a close and Halloween approaching faster than that midterm you have tomorrow, this week's installment of the top ten offers some costume ideas for the sports-minded college student. Whether you're going for sexy, funny or just plain ridiculous, athletes make great models for Halloween costumes. And the top ten are...
10) Bill Belicheck: Don't shower or shave for three days, find your oldest, rattiest sweatshirt and basically just look like a homeless person. If you really want to go all out, sleep on the quad the night before.
9) Ben Wallace: One word: Afro. And no, the jew-fro doesn't count.
8) Anna Kournikova: Reuse your golf pros and tennis hos costume from Sig Ep last week.
7) The New NBA Player: Dressed to the nines with a three piece suit, plenty of bling and a whole new attitude.
6) Token hockey player: Have your best friend punch out your four front teeth, don't get your hair cut for three months, carry around a six-pack of Labatt Blue all night, and start throwing around phrases like "what's this all aboot?" Being out of work for the past year is optional, but would add a nice touch.
5) The team mascot of your choice. Nobody can tell how good or bad looking you are until you bring them back to your room and take off your enormous foam head.
4) Kevin Millar: grow a mustache and some other silly facial hair, wear a cowboy hat and carry a bottle of Jack around all night. If you're still having trouble, consult the Queer Eye quintet.
3) Misty May: Show off your rock hard abs and patriotism with a red white and blue bikini. Make sure to wear your alcohol blanket, and top your beer goggles with a cool pair of Oakleys. Optional: wear a gold medal around your neck.
2) Dennis Rodman: This one's a gimme. Wear your favorite wedding dress, dye your hair the color of your choice, and buy a bunch a clip-on earrings to attach to any and all conceivable body parts. Feather boas are also a nice touch.
1) The Jamaican Bobsled Team: This one requires four people, but is worth the effort. The black, green, yellow, and red unitards are key, along with dreadlock wigs (or actual dreadlocks) and shaved heads. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, because its Jamaican Bobsled time. Go around selling kisses for a dollar for good measure.
