HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

by Stranko on Nov 24, 2005 9:59 AM EST

After you are done giving thanks for all the important stuff, remember to also give thanks for the joy and pain of college football. If you are at a loss for what to be most thankful for, here is our list of some suggestions, in no certain order:

1) Joe Paterno's resurgence.

2) Getting to watch two dynamic college players, Reggie Bush and Vince Young, putting on a spectacle to win the Heisman.

3) Steve Spurrier is back on a college sideline (even if it isn't Florida's)

4) We can remember Prothro for that catch and not just the horrific leg break.

5) Love them or hate them, Notre Dame is relevant again.

6) Great finishes .... ND v USC, UM v. PSU (or OSU), Alabama v. LSU....

7) Katrina dampened but didn't destroy the college football traditions of the Gulf coast.

8) Tailgating at your alma mater.

9) A season full of surprises like Oklahoma, Tennessee, Oregon, TCU ect.

10) The season isn't over yet!

Tell us what you are most thankful for.

i know this sounds strange, but i’m thankful for the gators’ season. i know 7-3 is not what everyone wanted, but i think that for a first year coach, meyer is doing damn well, and if he beats FSU saturday, we’ll have wins over our three biggest rivals. not too shabby.

and i’m thankful that we got meyer instead of spurrier. meyer for one, is 20 years younger. i don’t think anyone expects spurrier to coach into the bowden/paterno geriatric ward, he’s got too much golf to play. it might’ve been cool to get steve back, but overall, i don’t think he would’ve been right. meyer of course has yet to be seen, but when i take a step back and try to look at the big picture, i think that we made the right choice.

I’m thankful that FSU has gone through down years at the exact same time as us.

The internet and Armed Forces Network—otherwise my phone bill would be way too high, calling to the States for updates at 4 AM—thanks from a loyal fan in Japan.

I’m thankful that the Gamecocks are going to a bowl, regardless of what happened last Saturday.

I’m thankful that the ACC has proven to be an incredibly deep and fun league to watch, and that GT wracked up two of the most memorable wins in recent memory in the same season. If we beat UGA today, this will easily be our best season since Little Joe and the 1998 team.
