OPBFโs mom is vegetarian and as mentioned elsewhere OPBFโs brotherโs girlfriend (we really gotta come up with a shorter way to say this - sister in common-law? Weโve both been around a while) has a citrus sensitivity and is also allergic to a few other fruits that are less relevant on Thanksgiving

Thank you for the reminder that I need to clearly label the cider this year because we have an Orange Allergy in the House Now (OPBFโs brotherโs girlfriend; Iโd make a version without it or with substitutes for her but I canโt think of anything that will taste even close to right)

My dad was supposed to be at that game, but had a work thing come up and couldn't go. Rather than selling his ticket, my grandmother had it framed for him. We believe it to be the only un-torn ticket from that game outside the CFB Hall of Fame.

this is my grandmotherโs mulled cider recipe and I make it every year, with a couple small modifications: no sugar, add ginger and pie spices, simmer way longer, and booze on the side because not everyone drinks; I recommend bourbon rather than brandy

Georgia Tech could be hosting No. 4 Georgia this week. But it sold the game for $10 million.
And appears to have no regrets:

I met my first Mormon at Pitt! He was a friend of a friend and was originally from Idaho. Super nice guy and easily one of the smartest kids I knew. He had several majors and was a VERY talented pianist. IIRC he has a PhD (from The Ohio State) and is an ex-Mormon now

After last night's loss to Quinnipiac, KenPom favors Pitt to win three of its remaining 24 games -- vs. Hofstra (12/7), vs. Binghamton (12/17) and vs. Notre Dame (2/21).
