Things I'm Thankful for this Thanksgiving Season

• Stuffing. Some chef came up with an idea to stuff a turkey with bread and delicious seasonings, Genius!
  
  
• Chips and Salsa. OK St lost to OK so Iowa has a great shot at the Tostito's Fiesta bowl.
  
  
• Polish people. TE prospect CJ Fiedorowicz decommitted from Illinois and verbally committed to Iowa this week, adding to what is shaping up to be a great class next year
  
  
• Stanford. Beat both USC and Notre Dame. Maybe all the analysts will finally realize that teams don't win just because of the name on their jerseys.
  
  
• Cheap basketball tickets. Hawkeye basketball is 2-4 with their two wins over Bowling Green and North Carolina Central. Only 25 games left including a stacked Big Ten conference this year! Poor Matt Gatens...
  
  
• Syracuse basketball. Current Syracuse forward and former IA State player Wesley Johnson is going supernova for his new team. The guy is making every dunk, 3-point shot, steal, or block look effortless. I'm inviting all dissatisfied hawkeye basketball fans to pull for Syracuse this year, just until things get straightened out. You don't have to tell anyone, it's just between us.
  
  
• Everything else I've been given from a loving God. Especially my wife and daughter.
