Looks like we'll need to wait for LSU/TX A & M and ND/USC to finish before #4 gets sorted out. But I'll be laughing like a crazy man if Bama and Satan get shut out. TCU pummels Iowa State.

Michigan cranks it in second half, smokes Ohio State, 45-23 South Carolina beats Clemson, 31-30

A lovely pub about 15 minutes North of me, owned by a family of ex Brit's, announced on their FB page all their seats have been filled for USA v England, and no walk-ins will be allowed. I've been in there for big Premier League and FA cup game crowds. Place is gonna be a zoo!

Thanksgiving booze kicked in-some local a-hole is setting off fireworks-LOUD ones.

Cornish game hen just went in oven. Settlng down with the last of my Bulliet bourbon on the rocks.

Too many stupid plays, not enough smart ones...Lions snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.

Bjore Salming, Hall of Fame defenseman with Toronto and Detroit, passes away at 71 from ALS, which he announced he was suffering from in August. RIP, Bjore. https://www.nhl.com/news/borje-salming-hall-of-fame-defenseman-dies-at-71/c-338007692

Toyota has also made inroads in NHRA, particularly in Top Fuel and Funny Car. But surprisingly not in Pro Stock, which is odd, as being strong in that class would better play into the old saying "win on Sunday, sell on Monday". Otoh, they could be making a play in other disciplines (F1, IMSA, etc.).

Show Me The Way-Styx. After watching a YouTube of Dennis DeYoung' singing it in concert with his band which does Styx songs.

Bwahaha, I'm blessed that I can switch that moron off and watch matches on Telemundo, with the incomporable Andres Cantor:

Meanwhile, North of the border, Congratulations to the Toronto Argonauts in winning the Grey Cup. Caught the last half of that game with the late NFL contests, and that one was wild!

God, Spencer Rattler, 30/37, 438 yards, 6 TD's 0 picks. Eff you, boomer sooner.

One by one, they fall by the wayside. Tennessee loses the game to South Carolina, and QB Hendon Hooker to a torn ACL . UM's Blake Corum spent Sunday distributing Thanksgiving dinner supplies to less fortunate families in Ypsilanti, MI, East of Ann Arbor. Says "My knee is good. My knee is fine. I'll be back". .

Michigan kicks FG, 19-17 over Illinois. BUT, Blake Corum leaves game with knee injury. If he can't go against Ohio State, Wolverines are toast.

TCU kicks GW FG, wins 29-28.

I get that-Karen's family was from Houghton and Keewenaw Counties of Upper Michigan, "the rabbit's ear", surrounded by Lake Superior on 3 sides, and home of the Keewenaw Snow Thermometer (link below). It can get hairy up there, too. I shudder to think what would happen if that mess were to backtrack and become a Noreaster- jeez. Again, stay safe, and if your a Bills fan, enjoy the sights of Ford Field. https://www.pasty.com/snow/

Watching this chit on TWC. Stay safe!

Pissed off Iggles ink Ndomakong Suh to 1 year deal. Totally unrelated, but do the Packers suck or what?

After all the shite a lot of us went through trying and failing to procure tickets for R40, I can't help but laugh at all the crybabies getting shut out of ducats for Taylor NotSoSwift.

Robert Clary, Corporal LeBeau of Hogan's Heroes, passes away at 96. RIP. https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/robert-clary-corporal-lebeau-on-e2-80-98hogan-e2-80-99s-heroes-e2-80-99-dies-at-96/ar-AA14bHNr

Verlander notches his 3rd Cy Young. Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins for the NL. No contest for either, who both get all 30 1st place votes. Congratulations!

ESPN had an interesting game last night, Central Michigan vs Western Michigan. Which started in a snowstorm, with most of the field covered in white. Stayed that way throughout, except for alternating zones 10 yards wide that had been mostly, but not entirely, cleared off. Football as it should be. Beautiful!
