  4. My friends and I used to play a flag football game each Thanksgiving morning. Followed by beers at a local bar. Sadly, that longstanding tradition (20 ish years) died off 4-5 years ago.

    To Rob's point about Gonzaga, they're really really good. I turned off the UCLA game at halftime.

  20. I can see a 42-38 Egg Bowl with Leach and Kiffin catching each other's eyes across the field after an especially imaginative play call and giving a nod and a point.
