Happy Thanksgiving Beaver Fans! It's that wonderful time of the year that kicks off the holiday season, when we get to give thanks for our many blessings, not the least of which is the wonderful opportunity to enjoy watching college athletics.

Thanksgiving traditionally features football, followed by more football, and rivalry games and league championships. And then more football, during the bowl season. It also used to signal the impending start to the college basketball season, but impatient types (Connor, we know your true passion!) have moved that up even ahead of Veterans' Day now.

In any event (or is it at any event?), today's the day to enjoy and be thankful for family, food, and then football. Even when one's team is having a losing year, one is still a winner for having the opportunity to enjoy! (And maybe even argue with your brother-in-law over a piece of pumpkin pie about the impending Civil War!)
