[Jim Bendat]

Here's the program cover from our last Halloween victory - exactly 50 years ago, in 1959.

>You left out part of the statistic.  The Cats are said to be 6-1 at HOME on Halloween.  Our road record on Halloween isn't so good.
>
>Our only other game in the modern era (1995-present by my definition) on Halloween was in 1998 when we lost badly to Michigan State on the road in the midst of an 0-8 Big Ten campaign.
>
>Our last victory (home or away) on Halloween was at home over Indiana in 1959.  50 years ago.  Under Ara Parseghian.  And the Cats were ranked number 2 in the nation at that time.  Our first victory ever on Halloween was at home in 1895 over Lake Forest-Rush Medical.
>
>We've only won one road game ever on Halloween:  A 12-11 victory over Illinois in 1903, our only Big Ten win that year, but good enough to win a share of the Big Ten Championship with a 1-0-2 record (we tied Chicago and Wisconsin).
>
>So how will we fair against Penn State?  No predictions here, but let's hope that as the sun sets over Ryan Field tomorrow, the ghouls and goblins are wearing purple.
