SUMMARY: Gamers and college football fans are thrilled as the first college football video game in over a decade launches worldwide tomorrow. The game is making waves on campuses, with MSU fans eagerly anticipating its release. The reintroduction of name, image, and likeness deals allowed for the game’s return, much to the delight of fans who have waited over half their lives. Maroon and white legends like Emanuel Forbes and JT Gray participated in the launch event, which included a 32-person tournament. Tickets cost $10,000 each, with proceeds benefiting the Bulldog Initiative. EA Sports College Football 25 will be available globally tomorrow.

College football video games were canceled over a decade ago, because players could not be compensated for being in the game. But, NIL deals opened the door for the popular game’s return.

SUMMARY: In the city of Mon, a Halloween curfew starting at 8:00 PM aims to enhance safety for trick-or-treaters and candy distributors. The police chief emphasizes the importance of having children off the streets by that time due to increasing darkness and distracted driving. Parents and kids must return home, while those handing out candy must stop distribution as well. This curfew has been in place for several years, with additional patrols planned for Halloween night to ensure safety for all participants. The police department wants to protect both pedestrians and drivers in the community.
