Turkey Day

Happy Turkey Day to everyone! Brief/small Crespi baseball reunion last night at (where else?) Pickwick's. OTL Hall of Famers Jordt and Clark were in the house, and prospect Wilson is back home. Per the tradition, the tourney (the best thing about the Thanksgiving weekend) is tomorrow. Subsequent to it will be the standard drunken gong show like every other year.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday, and if you happen to be in or from this state, sorry. But at least you're used to this. At least you're done watching this guy for a while.

Great college football matchups this weekend. Go Trojans, of course. But also...

go Noles, go Cowboys, go Bulldogs

I could go on, but I'm getting ahead of myself. After all, it is only Thursday...
