Thanksgiving

What I am thankful for (in terms of Penn State football of course):

-A 10-2 record....not bad
-The possibility of playing in a BCS bowl game
-Joe Paterno
-Joe Paterno's press conferences
-One of the best recruiting classes in Penn State history
-Notre Dame/Michigan/USC/Florida State having subpar/terrible seasons
-Tim Tebow will no longer be playing college football next year and we can have analysts talk about something other than His holiness
-Assistant coaches who have been a huge asset to the team. Thanks to Larry Johnson, Tom Bradley, Ron Vanderlinden, Jay Paterno, Galen Hall and Mike McQueary
-Temple. Who thought they would be a quality win!?
-Air/Food. I'm surprised mankind has survived this long. It could be any day now that Charlie Weis and Mark Mangino completely consume the world's supply of both.
-Rose Bowl. The Big Ten might finally win one...USC isn't in it
-Recession. Without it, Iowa would surely be going to the Fiesta or Orange.
-Michigan State. Beating them the past two years has smoothed over my ire from tough losses to Iowa and Ohio State.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I actually should be studying right now, but the tryptophan has kicked in and the couch is calling my name. Keep an eye out for the games this weekend since many could have an impact on Penn State's bowl fate. After the weekend, I will breakdown some scenarios and where I think Penn State will be playing in January.

Pass the butter
