My Thanksgiving weekend consisted of a LOT of sleep, lying around, and basically not doing anything productive. I did however, on Black Friday, make the 2 hour trip from Rock City to Chicago without traffic at all. I don't know how that happened but it did and I was THANKFUL. While Rachel was visiting her little sister (big brother big sister program) I was able to enjoy a nice cup of coffee at Peet's Coffee & Tea on North Ave. & Clybourn. I got a lot of studying done and came away smelling like dark roast coffee beans. It was so good and I was THANKFUL.
Then Saturday night rolled around and the highly overrated Jayhawks of the University of Kansas (never really understood why they go by KU when they are the University of Kansas) ran into the hungry, more aggressive, and more talented Missouri Tigers. Before the game started I made the comment of not really being too confident in the KU defense. And well, they showed that they didn't know how to tackle anybody. Since when do you try to tackle people without using your arms. That is what the defense of Kansas attempted to do and Mizzou ran and threw all over them. Not only was it a bad showing from the Jayhawks but what really ticked me off was the commentary by Brent Musberger. I can't listen to that guy. He's just as bad as Tim McGarver. I can't even count how many times he referenced in an overly excited voice the Kansas football team as "the Manginos". What is that. Since when do you completely throw away the University's name, much less their mascot, and reference them by their coaches name. It must take a 400 pound head coach for that to happen.
I sure hope that "the Tressel's", "the Miles", "the Carroll's", "the Urban Meyer's", or " the Weiss's" (oh wait, they definitely won't) have Musberger calling their bowl games.
It's sure going to be interesting as the BCBS (for you Christian) comes out next Sunday and reveals who will be playing for the National Championship of college football. Whoever it is, I'm sure many other teams will have a case for being the Champion. All I have to say is: GO WARRIORS.

I've always found that my disdain for Musberger (and pretty much any other announcers) rises at the same rate at which the Badgers start losing the televised game.
Crazy that OSU could still end up in the title game. Now that the J-hawks have dropped, I'm pulling for Hawaii, which I will always see as the Rainbow Warriors that they were known as when I was in high school.
Nice tid bit about KU and Univ of Kansas. I figured it was because of Kentucky. The real mystery is how does a university decided whether to be the Univ of your state or your state University. And why is Wisconsin the only state without a Wisconsin State University? (You get what I mean)
Wish you could be here this year on the bench. This team is worlds apart from last year. (Basketball wise, personality wise its pretty similar) We go back to Deer Creek this weekend! Memories!
