Happy Thanksgiving to all!
No better day to gorge yourself, and for you men out there (you know what I'm talking about), get to that favorite spot on your couch, loosen up those pants to let your belly breathe, and then feast on college hoops (or that other sport) as the tryptophan kicks in.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
This Turkey Day is a big one for the Big Ten, as it tries to chase down the Big XII for the top spot among the Power 5 conferences. The B1G has 5 matchups vs. the Power 5/Gonzaga group, highlighted by the undefeated Men of Sparta taking on the unbeaten Heels in Fort Myers (FL). Blue Collar Green vs. Collars Up Powder Blue; should be a good one.
