Your Obligatory Thanksgiving Post

Wait, where the hell is TNIAAM in the Thanksgiving feast of sports blogs? Does this mean I'm the slices of celery on the Wheel O'Veggies that your mom puts out when guests start arriving? Or am I just that film that forms on top of the gravy if you let it sit for too long?

To be fair, there's no reason you should be here tomorrow anyway. I'm not updating and you should have better things to do as well. I'll probably check in on Friday with an update or two. On Saturday, the Cincy game is a regional telecast so I'll be at the local bar at 9am like a good wino to watch it. After that I'll be back to post and discuss.

SU fans have plenty to be thankful for at the moment. The football team removed some of the bad taste left by this season with last week's win and seem to be feeling pretty loose and excited about this weekend's game...dangerous news for Cincy:

SU football coach prepares for final game

SU basketball can be thankful that they just had their best November since 1998's Maui Invitational winning team.

All apologies to the most recent graduating Syracuse class, things are looking up for SU sports for the first time in about four years. The Men's Lacrosse team is the defending National Champion, the Women's Lacrosse and Field Hockey teams went to the Final Four, the Women's Basketball team is good, the Men's Basketball team is on the verge of reclaiming it's rightful place in the elite and the Football team is basking in good vibes and hope for the future. Now if only the Swimming and Diving team would get it together...oh...right...

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Except Georgetown fans.

Yeah it figures they’d start to do well right after I graduated. They won right before I got there in 2003 (yes, I spent the past 5 years at ‘cuse thanks to our fabulous redshirt senior architecture program). The most I got to see was the 2004 sweet 16 and the 2004 Chumps Sports Bowl (but will never forget losing my shit during that 2006 BE Tourney). My dad told me the other day that it’s like I was being punished (Cuse, Cubs, Bears, Bulls). So hopefully now my old man can shut his face for a few years, on Cuse that is, those other three teams are still pathetic.

Hard work I see?

Or had you already exscaped the office when you replied? But hey, we got two lax titles. So there’s something.

I like how we both have uber original SN’s. Great minds think alike.

How could I forget the 2 bookend lax titles? I should be shot for that, and no I didn’t exscape the office, I’m still here but definitely leaving early.
