Football, Family, Food... Bring On Thanksgiving

It feels like March. Not only the weather, but the Duke vs Kansas game. That. Was. Awesome. Duke won Maui again...

I saw great basketball, and didn't have to see bad basketball. Iowa lost at home to Campbell. The Campbell Camels. I'm not making that up. And the Hawks lost by 16. This on the heels of being embarrassed by Creighton Sunday in Des Moines. Clearly, basketball relevance at Iowa is not a quick fix for Fran McCaffery...
Not joking.
Iowa's lopsided loss to Campbell---did I mention it was Campbell?---makes Hawkeye fans appreciate the football season a little more. Or it should...

The buzz is missing from the Iowa-Nebraska football game. There are many reasons, including you can't manufacture a rivalry, the players have never faced each other, and "Heroes Game" is forced, but the biggest reason is simple: neither team can win the division title, and neither can wreck the other's chance of winning it...

The trophy was unveiled. It's as straightforward as it gets. A pewter football. Then again, after the Pewter Family atop the Cy-Hawk trophy was lampooned and rejected, it seems a simple approach is a smart approach...

Role reversal. Iowa State has Oklahoma's full attention, and the Cyclones have to put the weekend's biggest win behind them...

The NFL tripleheader on Thanksgiving is fantastic. The entire day rules. The football. The family. Especially the food. I'm thankful...

I think I want to see the new Muppet movie more than my kids...
Must-see.

The Stache for Cash cool donor of the day is Josiah Neiderbach. The fight against cancer thanks you Josiah. Only a few days left. Thank goodness... http://teamacs.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=42808&pg=entry
My wife, Jenny, even rocks a stache in November
