Thanksgiving Day Filler Post Slash Open Thread

Each year, we celebrate Thanksgiving in the only way we know how. FILLER POST!!!!!!!!!! And this year is no different. Since the dawn of America itself, people have been thankful for Thanksgiving, because it meant they didn't have to do work on that day. And we're no different. So, no in depth analyses of football games. No complicated essays on what it means to boo Tiger Woods. Just classic, old fashioned time wasting filler. The way The Pilgrims, our Founding Fathers, and an amalgam of a variety of religious figures I like to call MohJesesanesh would want it.
So, let's see, what am I thankful about slash ready to fill time with?
Well, the first thing I am thankful about is Chicken. I love Chicken. Chicken is, by far, my favorite bird-related meat. Which is why Thanksgiving is slightly frustrating to me, because I feel that turkey overshadows Chicken this day. And I don't want ANYTHING to overshadow my beloved Chicken. People say "Twist, it's OK, it's just one day, the other 364 days out of the year, everybody knows that Chicken is the better bird." I don't care, I don't care. I'm such a hardcore Chicken enthusiast that I want Chicken to be he most beloved bird on ALL 365 days of the year.
The second thing I am thankful for is my strong sense of smugness regarding certain decisions made by Coach Tedford. Even though he's guided this team through some toads redick difficulties to a stunning 8-3 record including one of the greatest Big Game victories of all time, I know that if *I* were coaching, we'd be undefeated. And nobody would have scored a point against us. Ever.
Finally, I am thankful for the community of the CaliforniaGoldenBlogs. You guys make it all worth it. There is so much intelligence here, so much hilarity, so much organic creation. Organic creation is the most important thing to me. The bottom line. Whether its something that makes you think or something that makes you laugh, the community just provides so much and I know I (and the rest of the CGB Cru) are so incredibly thankful. This is our 3rd year anniversary of writing this site and we look forward to another 3 great years! And then a few mediocre ones after that. And like 1 really crappy year. Then, a rebirth! Then, we just coast for like 4 more years after that on our laurels. IT'LL BE FUN!
So, list the things you are thankful for. You guys don't even have to list the strong sense of smugness regarding certain decisions made by Coach Tedford one. I know after reading all of the comments here on this site, that that one is just assumed. GO BEARS! And happy Thanksgiving!
After the jump, in case you get bored with your family, Avi has a list of things on TV to peruse, including Aaron Rodgers making his Turkey Day debut!
9:30 AM PST/12:30 PM EST: Packers at Lions, FOX
"Don’t even think like that. Teddy will get those boys ready."
– Text Thursday afternoon from Aaron Rodgers, assuaging my fears of a potential Big Game defeat
Two things:
1) Why on Earth haven't we started calling him Teddy before this?
2) Quotes like these make me a Packers fan the rest of the season. As you should be too.
BONUS: Hopefully we see Follett in action too! Here's a Pain Train interview with MLive.
"Q: Any nicknames?
A: I had Zack Attack and Pain Train in high school. Then, Pain Train and Z-Man in college. I get called Crazy Zack here. Special teams coach (Stan Kwan) gave me that one."
1:15 PM PST/4:15 PM EST: Raiders at Cowboys, CBS
Rated-R Superstar probably believes Oakland can win this one. He's such a cute kid. Hopefully Romo will at least throw a few picks to Asomugha and we'll all be happy.
5 PM PST/8 PM EST
Texas at Texas A&M, ESPN--The Aggies have ruined the Longhorns BCS dreams before. Especially in that alternate universe that is College Station.
Magic at Hawks, TNT--Can Ryan Anderson lead the Magic shoot some 3s to help Orlando to first place in the Southeast Division?
7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST
UCLA vs Portland in Anaheim, ESPN2--Portland's already beaten one Pac-10 team. Can they get another upset bid brewing in the 76 Classic?
Miscellaneous events
- Lots of college basketball on ESPN2, including the Old Spice Classic from Orlando.
- Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade--Someone pop that damned Sponge Bob balloon already.
- Westminster Dog Show, NBC--BEST IN SHOW BITCHES! And I mean that literally.
- Mythbusters marathon, Discovery Channel--I'll probably end up spending most of my day here. Blowing shit up>>Everything else.
- G4 Movie Marathon--The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon, Big Trouble in Little China, Darkman, Daylight, The Lost Boys, Way of the Dragon. Oh damn, tough decisions here...
- James Bond marathon, SciFi Channel--Probably watch From Russia With Love, although I'll probably end up flicking when something shitty like The Living Daylights gets on here.
- A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, ABC--I think this is the one where Charlie Brown served popcorn and candy for Thanksgiving dinner. This is the part where you laugh!

The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year… for plumbers.
I’m thankful that Twist has a calling profession job paycheck providing thingy that allows him to post comments every hour of every day. Thank you, Twist, for amusing me throughout the year. But please don’t ask for a letter of rec to any future employer, unless that employer is InanitiesRus.

Harbaugh's playcalling
I’m thankful there’s a fifth-grader (as mis-guided as she is to wear that sweatshirt) who will call out the coach for his bad plays (although I suspect she’s just the mouthpiece for a frustrated alum behind the camera).
I’m also thankful I astill get to revel in this Big Game victory while ’Furd fans at dinner tonight are probably drawing up the play they would LIKE to have seen in the 4th quarter (Gearhardt over the cranberries with the tackle pulling through the mashed potatoes….)
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.

rags, any thoughts on the Furd nearly knocking off Kentucky?
Email: bearsnecessities@gmail.com
by Avinash on Nov 26, 2009 9:12 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Well, just looking at the box score, it wasn’t all the Landry Fields show — someone named Jeremy Green was 5/8 from three. Still, they were mostly in it because they somehow managed to hold Kentucky to just 63 points in regulation. Looks like they got UK’s big man (Patterson) in foul trouble early, and that probably helped.
Still, if we can get someone like Theo to clamp down on Fields, I don’t think Stanfurd has enough besides him to beat us (or many other Pac-10 teams).

It is lower 40’s in Columbus, Ohio, with some rain and snow (!) later tonight. I’m hiding from my in-laws by staying in my bedroom watching A-Rod play (hopefully against Pain Train) and amusing myself with CGB.
My lewzer brother in law, who has a Cal undergraduate degree, hadn’t watched the Big Game and didn’t know who won. So I showed it to him. It was fun to see him moaning and dying as stanfurd had the ball on the 13 yard line with 2 mins to go. Then I got to point out “that man’s name is The Prophet.” We drank Scotch in The Prophet’s honor.

Beetdub, I had another Cal football dream last night. We were at Memorial, but it was different. There were big HD video boards and new scoreboards at the north and south ends. There were new seats and railings and bathrooms! Real honest to goodness bathrooms. It seemed a little more intimate, but louder. We were playing Oregon and kicking their asses thoroughly. Everyone there was happy. THANK YOU COACH TEDFORD (aka Teddy)!

Hi
I made it.
Rated-R Superstar probably believes Oakland can win this one. He’s such a cute kid. Hopefully Romo will at least throw a few picks to Asomugha and we’ll all be happy.
Well, I’m picking Dallas by a 24-16 score. Still, I think we have a better chance than what people give us credit for. I mean, we just beat the team that was second in the AFC.

1) Why on Earth haven’t we started calling him Teddy before this?
When I was in the dorms there was a backup defensive lineman on the team, and my friend and I constantly asked him how ‘Teddy’ was doing, and tried to dare him into calling coach ‘Teddy.’ He indicated that Coach wouldn’t appreciate that.

What's the best in-state rivalry?
The LA Times says nothing compares to the Iron Bowl.
Main reason? In a state that has no professional sports and where football is religion, Alabama-Auburn is the argument that keeps on giving. Former Alabama Coach Gene Stallings once said: “It’s the only game I’ve ever heard of where people talk about it 365 days a year. And if you don’t live here, you couldn’t possibly understand.” A dispute in 1908 over the use of illegal players—on both sides!—led to discontinuation of the series until 1948 on the insistence of the state legislature. Alabama got so mad over losing its fourth straight to Auburn in 1957 that Tuscaloosa sent a delegation to bone dry Texas to hire, by whatever means necessary, Paul “Bear” Bryant, who won six national titles and beat Auburn 19 times in the next 25 years. Take THAT!

OK, it’s me vs. Yellow Fever in the finals. My lineup is mostly set, but I’m wavering on who to start for a couple key spots.
Defense : I’ve been riding Alabama all year, but I like Cincinnati’s matchup vs. Illinois better than the Tide’s Iron Bowl matchup @ Auburn. Do I dare switch?
Running back : Noel Devine vs. Pitt in the backyard brawl, or Anthony Dixon vs. Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl.
And yes, I’m going to start Toby Gerhart, and yes, I will enjoy every touchdown he scores on Charlie Weis’ “never at a schematic disadvantage” defense.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

a)
Alabama #2 defense vs Auburn #25 offense
Cincinnati #35 defense vs Illinois #81 offense
So probably Cincinnati? Also what Avinash said.
b) Noel Devine. Pitt’s defense is much morse

Well well well, talk about a terrible Thanksgiving treat for Buffaloes fans
“While Colorado is 3 – 8 this year, three of the losses were by seven points or less.”
Are you kidding me? Was this really written? Was this what they prepared to win the fan base over with? This was the masterful comment that was going to rally the masses and make us go, “yes, I agree with the decision and support the University.” Really, that is the best we can do? Will all the academic prowess in Boulder, this is it?
Yes, Colorado “officials”, the Buffs football team lost three games this year by less than seven points. One heck of an accomplishment if you ask me, something we should be proud of and aspire to do more of in the future. Should we hang a banner for that accomplishment? Since you want to rationalize losing, let’s do that, let’s dissect it and see how great an accomplishment it really is.
One of those losses was to Colorado State, a Mountain West team, at home in the season opener as the great University of Colorado yanked Colorado State around to make them play in Folsom in not Denver. Your senior captain said “we overlooked them.” “10 wins, no excuses” and we overlooked a rival at home and lost? The first game of the year we “competitively” overlooked the Rams? Colorado State is winless in the Mountain West Conference and just lost to New Mexico, a team that was winless overall going into the game. Yes, New Mexico is 1 – 10 and Colorado State is 3 – 8.
Another one of those losses by only seven little points was to an Iowa State team who is headed up by Paul Rhoads, a first year coach who already has as many wins on the road as Dan Hawkins has in four years – two. Iowa State also beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers in year one, something Dan Hawkins has not done in two tries. Get this, Dan Hawkins hasn’t beat a Big 12 North team on the road in his career – not one – not Iowa State, not Kansas State – nobody.
And the final, “less than seven point loss”, was against Oklahoma State who is an 8 point underdog to a 6 – 5 Oklahoma team. Oklahoma State was playing without their All-American wide receiver in Dez Bryant, All-Conference quarterback in Zach Robinson and without the complete services of All American RB Kendall Hunter. Oh yes, and I forgot, Oklahoma State beat us with their third string quarterback. But, heck, “competitive” me up with that third string QB.
Thanks for trying to spin that into a positive.
I am surprised the release didn’t say the Colorado Buffaloes were competitive against Toledo when they won third quarter 21 – 14.
I’m a little worried now about the game—Hawkins might be super motivated next season with nothing to lose and their teams do have good recruits…they could definitely give Cal a fight.

The Pac-10 was, what, 5-0 in bowl games last year?
It was a fine league.
B-ball is looking as bad as it’s been in my lifetime. 03-04 was a terrible conference but it had one elite team. There isn’t even an elite team this year. Honestly there are only 2 teams which look more likely than not to make the Tourney field at this point (Washington and Cal). And the terrible league is going to kill their seeding, too.
I hate to say it but @ Kansas is looking more and more like a must-win if Cal wants any part of a decent seed.

eh, Memphis has proven time and again that you can run through a crappy league and still get a high seed. of course, Cal will certainly drop their share of Pac-10 games even if they manage to win the league.
overall, though, the early returns suggest that this is easily the worst Pac-10 in quite some time.

That said, they’ll take a big hit if Colin Kapernick leaves early. Either way, though, Nevada always has a lot of those guys who didn’t get too much Pac-10 recruiting attention for various reasons… they’ll have chips on their shoulders. We’ll have a talent advantage, but they’re dangerous.
