GatOrlando No. 1 Share Posted November 23, 2023 For this being the last year of the four team playoff. The debate of Texas or Alabama. Best one loss squad. What are all of you thankful for? *Of course I have personal thanks, but this is a football board. I hope you and your's have a safe, happy holiday today. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! All of the above! And I'm thankful for family gatherings, flight delays, ER visits after the morning "touch" football game and bickering over when to take the turkey out. Overcooked turkey, three cousins that brought cranberry sauce and none a decent salad, nephews and nieces that will only eat drumstick and weird 2nd cousin Hubert insisting that everyone try his Rocky Mountain Oyster stuffing. Far left uncle Fred and far right uncle Louie that just can't keep political opinions to themselves. Hearing about Aunt Tillie's colon operation at the table, for the fifth year in a row. Discovering that grandma Ethyl's teeth have gone missing in the mashed potatoes. And having to hide the Chianti from your half-in-the-bag step brother before he gets unruly again. And I'm particularly thankful that this holiday comes only once a year, that the next day they have all gone back home, and that it is time to watch the Ducks kick some river rat butt! Happy Thanksgiving to all! 1 5 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterPoloDuck No. 6 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'm thankful that my wife is in labor with our third baby! I'm going to have to order Ducks gear for my kids to wear and post a pic on the forum. I'm also thankful for getting to take life lessons from how Dan Lanning leads the Ducks and the knowledge from this forum. P.S. Contractions are still super far apart... so I'm not being a bad husband by being on the forum haha. 1 2 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you are. The last thing your wife probably wants right now is her husband hovering over her while this important process begins. But stay close! Oh, yeah. Stay close! Congratulations and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Bring in the New Year with a New Duck fan. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Best advice, bring bagpipes to any family gathering. If anyone brings up a controversial topic, begins to pour that one too many, or just about anything you don't want, threaten to play the bagpipe.

Drake Moderator No. 10 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Thankful for a healthy family, friends that overlook my shortcomings, and one damn tough football team that makes me proud to be a Duck. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Featherbutt No. 11 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I like Thanksgiving. I hate Thanksgiving I like it because of gathering family and giving thanks for abundant blessings. Yay Thanksgiving. I hate Thanksgiving because of the yearly stoppage of relevant message board activity for 3 days. No news. No opinions. No love. No hate. Just a desert of inactivity with a few holiday greetings sprinkled in. Boo Thanksgiving. We are in the middle of the juiciest time of year: meaningful games, playoff fights, COACHES MOVING, hating the SEC, and peeing in stadium concourses. We need a constant flow mainlined straight to the biggest vein, not Nurse Ratchett monitoring our morphine. This year’s Thanksgiving menu: Sides: cranberry sauce (aka what is going on with Chip) green beans with mushroom soup goo (sure glad we went to Tempe and not Tucson) stuffing (Civil War - really good or really bad) Bird Course: turkey leg (JS to MSU. A lock? Super funny and happening at the perfect time) Main Course: Prime Rib (KDB will announce he is headed to A&M right after their loss to the Ducks) - extra yummy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 13 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I am thankful for this community of reasonable people, because most people online do not want civility. I am grateful for people being a good sport with our rules and protocols. It just makes it all more fun when you have a group of nice people, which is what makes it a very special place here. Thank you everyone. 1 1 6 2 3 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
