A look at games that might pique your interest

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

Thanksgiving day is, of course, known as an NFL football day, but the Egg Bowl will also be played tonight, so tune into that one if/when your’e sick of the NFL and too gobble-wobble to get up off the couch.

The other great thing about Thanksgiving week is that you get a full slate of Friday games to watch while you’re killing off leftover turkey and nursing a typically decent hangover. There are two big games Friday to watch: the ACC Coastal Division championship game between VT and UVa and a big AAC game between Cincinnati and Memphis. A Memphis win in that game means a rematch next week in the AAC Championship Game.

Saturday’s got some great games to watch, too, kicking off with a big rivalry game between undefeated Ohio State and a better-than-you-think Michigan squad that’s been playing great of late. Also in that noon slot is a bunch of ACC-SEC rivalry games.

The mid-day games features the Iron Bowl and a big game between Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Of course we have our match-up with the worst school and fan base in the country at 7:00pm. Also in the night-time round of games, Texas A&M plays their 9th #1 team of the year (okay, it’s their 3rd... but still), and you get a few nice intra-state rivalry games in Florida-FSU and Oklahoma-OK State.

Happy food devouring and football watching, folks! And, as always: GO TO HELL, CAROLINA!
