Wanna know what devotion is? Devotion — in this case exemplified by longtime reader Doug Mooney — is attending your crummy team’s annual Thanksgiving loss, noting that several people in the stands are wearing “0-16” tees, taking the photo shown above, and e-mailing it to your friendly uniform columnist while the game is still being played. Thanks, Doug.
Thanksgiving was a serious feast, thanks in large part to the perfectly bronzed bird cooked and carved by my friend Scout. There were lots of other good dishes, including several made by Collateral Gammage and myself, but I was too busy eating, drinking, and yakking to take any more photos. Which is probably just as well, since I for one can’t even bear to think about food today, much less look at it. And that’s the sign of a successful Thanksgiving, am I right? — Paul

Looks like an apple/walnut salad (there’s another name for it, but can’t recall). My wife makes something similar. Usually has some cheese and a peppercorn dressing. Very good stuff, and filling, as much as a salad can be.

Waldorf salad, perhaps?
Close up it looks like field greens with either apples or pears with some sort of candied nuts (most likely peacans). Might be some leeks or other type of onion as well. Dressing looks like a light oil based one.
From a distance it looked like Japanese seaweed salad. You need to close up on the pic.

About five miles. They bus kids from the campus in the Oakland section of town (where Pitt is) to Heinz Field on the North Side (or Shore if you prefer)
It was a big controversial thing in the burgh when it first happened. A lot of alumni hated the idea of not only tearing down Pitt Stadium but moving the field off campus. However, the rebirth of the baseketball program and the beautiful Petersen Events Center being built on the site where the stadium used to stand, combined with the football program’s ability to share not only a pro stadium but workout facilities as well with the Steelers has outweighed the negatives.
There are still those that poo poo them playing off campus at Heinz Field but I think more accept it now. My brother for one, was a hardcore anti-Heinz Field move but now he’s cool with it.
I don’t think Heinz Field itself is a very good stadium, but it’s the fact that they share the practice complex with the Steelers that makes it such a draw for college kids. That is a world class facility.
I’m apathetic to being on campus or off. The years I went to games at Pitt Stadium, the program sucked. Therefore, my memories are bad. My brother, on the other hand, was at Pitt during a good era and at the height of the end of the series with Penn State (not counting that mini-series in the late 90s). I’m sure that’s why his feelings were different.
As an alum and season ticket holder, I’m much more passionate about the school going back to the old PITT script and colors.

Baylor has its own football stadium, but it’s located south and west of the actual campus in Waco. It might be the only BCS school with a dedicated stadium NOT on campus, since the Rose Bowl, Heinz, etc are multi-use facilities.
It’s apparently a good thing for today’s fractured society that people eat at different times.
My cousin’s girlfriend said yesterday that our dinner (which was a 2:30) was the first of FOUR she had to go to yesterday. His father and mother, her father and mother.
I guess that means lots of grazing and no real eating, so you have room for something at every place.

At the risk of starting a back-and-forth worthy of the walk-off HR conversation….I’ll add my two cents on the thanksgiving time discussion.
Growing up, my maternal grandmother always hosted Thanksgiving and we ate at a traditional lunch time. I guess anywhere between noon and two.
Once my grandmother became to old to host, we hosted those grandparents at my parents house and kept the same timeframe even after my grandparents had both passed on.
I was lucky when I met my wife because her family did Thanksgiving at more of a traditional dinner time, say between five and seven. So, as we dated through last year, we always had lunch time at my mom’s and dinner time at her mom’s or sister’s. Although it seems crazy to eat two thanksgiving dinners, it actually was nice because we didn’t fill up at either place, just ate sparingly in the afternoon so we had room in the evening.
Yesterday, we combined the families for the first time and ate around 5:30. I’m happy to say that 14 people (including four kids) and a four month old puppy all had a great day and our humble abode survived!
The moral of the story: there is no “right” time to eat Thanksgiving dinner, so long as your with loved ones and can count your blessings!!!!

Ricko, just go and look for anything you find interesting.
They’ll probably have geographically-specific Nike gear: T-Wolves, Twins, UM, etc.
I think Minnesota still has a non-amateur Hockey team, right?
Now is the time to look for their great cold weather running gear.
The Sphere and Therma Fit lines are outstanding, and the Nike Plus gear that goes along with the IPOD is always innovative!
Other than that, be careful…with 200,000 people, your walker may het bumped a few times.
I had to get one in!
We ate at just after noon, mainly because my kids had to be with my me (and my girlfriend and her kids) for part of the day, then with their mother the second part of the day. their mother had dinner at 5ish, so they got two for one.
on top of that, it was my son’s 13th birthday…pumpkin pie and birthday cake.

of course, for some teams, including auburn and oklahoma, the school name (or abbreviation) IS the logo.

I was curious and I found out three other types of helmets of note.
Boise State has the full text under the Bronco. South Carolina has the C and the Gamecock (no S that I noticed).
Washington State’s text becomes the cougar.

Paul,
I have to ask, what are the items below the turkey in the roasting pan that Scout used? Are those beets? They look too big to be shallots. I cook for a large group and would love to know, they look divine being roasted below the turkey in its juices.

Quincy-North Quincy HS Thanksgiving game. That Quincy Q looks suspiciously like an Oregon O modified to be a Q.

I was at the game….the hit by the Quincy kid was awesome! Regarding the uni’s…the Quincy Q is lame. Is it a Q or an O?

Sorry, new here….the hit by the Quincy kid was awesome! Kind of like the one Wes Welker took in the Pats game. Like Wes, the kid got right up and was back in the game. Those NQ kids are tough!
One advantage of having dinner before the Cowboys play is that your cousin’s husband’s drug addict sister and her drug dealer boyfriend will be at the game, therefore you can eat without having them around.

So what’s the trick? On my browsers, it reads:
“(Click button you use twice and place text you want formatted in between tags)”
above the comment box. But there’s NO fucking button! There used to be, but not for 6-8 months. Usually I paste the html on it’s own line, and it comes out green, but how do you get green text with a html link? I used to be able to do it, but since Paul changed servers, there hasn’t been any damn buttons. I know I’m not the only person who gets pissed when trying to make decent looking links. What is it that someone thinks I ought to know?
Google is your friend…

Did I see oysters? Wow!
I’m from NY, but spent 8 years in Seattle for grad school and had school mates from all over the US. We had the discussion of ‘sauce’ vs. ‘gravy’ all the time and one of my buddies’ grandpa, from Minnesota, settled it for us…
– If it has meat in it, or is made from the fat or grease from meat, it is gravy.
– If there is no meat, then it’s sauce.
– It doesn’t matter what it goes ON, it’s what goes IN that’s important.
I know many have seen this but many haven’t…

Wisconsin men’s hockey is wearing a new third sweater tonight. It’s streaming online, so I can’t get a screen grab – I’ll post picture links after the game.
It’s all red with a large Bucky head in the middle and large Badgers written in white block letters. There’s a graphic repeated along the bottom seam – I thought it was Motion W’s, but now it’s looking like Bucky head outlines.
Turns out they are badger paw prints repeated around the hem. The Motion W is on each shoulder, above the TV numbers.

Hey Mark, It’s about 12 miles from the main entrance of USF to RJS. From what I’ve seen they do a decent job of getting students to the games by bus. I was amazed how much USF has changed in the 8 years I was in the Army. When I left USF was still probably 90/10 commuter to resident student. I enlisted in USF’s second Football season. That is the only major change to the school… I think.

Phoenix Coyotes wore their new black alts today. Surprising to see the pants are still red though.

Nav-Marine Corp Stadium (Home of the Midshipmen) is about a mile off of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. They close off street for the Midshipmen March.
Boston Latin-Boston English. It’s bad enough Latin’s colors are purple and white, but they had to introduce a link? Which is worse, all purple, or black trimmed in purple when black isn’t even one of your colors?
And the Celtics need to ditch the alts.
Not uni but field related. watching the ASU-UCLA game and noticed that instead of little arrows pointing towards the endzone at the yardage numbers, ASU has little pitchforks.

Baylor has its own football stadium, but it’s located south and west of the actual campus in Waco. It might be the only BCS school with a dedicated stadium NOT on campus, since the Rose Bowl, Heinz, etc are multi-use facilities.[/quote]
Autzen Stadium is off campus as well, you’re not the only one there. That and the Moshovsky Center.

Thank god, the last thing the NHL needs is more black unitards.
I was at the Badger Hockey game tonight. The repeating item around the bottom is the badger claw footprint logo. I thought it was a pretty sharp jersey, but it could have used some sleeve striping or something. It felt a little plain to me. The numbers looked good, even with the subtle black drop shadow.

About five miles. They bus kids from the campus in the Oakland section of town (where Pitt is) to Heinz Field on the North Side (or Shore if you prefer)
It was a big controversial thing in the burgh when it first happened. A lot of alumni hated the idea of not only tearing down Pitt Stadium but moving the field off campus. However, the rebirth of the baseketball program and the beautiful Petersen Events Center being built on the site where the stadium used to stand, combined with the football program’s ability to share not only a pro stadium but workout facilities as well with the Steelers has outweighed the negatives.
There are still those that poo poo them playing off campus at Heinz Field but I think more accept it now. My brother for one, was a hardcore anti-Heinz Field move but now he’s cool with it.
I don’t think Heinz Field itself is a very good stadium, but it’s the fact that they share the practice complex with the Steelers that makes it such a draw for college kids. That is a world class facility.
I’m apathetic to being on campus or off. The years I went to games at Pitt Stadium, the program sucked. Therefore, my memories are bad. My brother, on the other hand, was at Pitt during a good era and at the height of the end of the series with Penn State (not counting that mini-series in the late 90s). I’m sure that’s why his feelings were different.
As an alum and season ticket holder, I’m much more passionate about the school going back to the old PITT script and colors.[/quote]
It would have been a lot cheaper to put a dome over Pitt Stadium, put actual seats in everywhere and keep the football team on campus. But that would just make too much sense.

Switch the paws out for a thin- thick -thin white stripe at the hem and you have a winner.
I’m sorry, but that’s not a pattern that you can use for a hemline. You need something geometric and repeating to pull that off.

Is the Adidas logo on the first guy’s knee a part of his own sock choice, or something that everyone conflictingly wears?
[quote comment=”302486″]on another “regional” note…what’s the red stuff you put on top of spaghetti/pasta? gravy or sauce?[/quote]
Gravy. That’s what my mother, who was Italian, always called it. She’d also go nuts if anyone said “ri-COT-tuh” or “mott-suh-REL-lah.” She’d retort forcefully, “ree-GOHT!” or “moot-sah-DELL!”
My non-Italian friends don’t get it when I say “gravy” instead of “sauce.”

Any Brooklyn Dodger fans out there? I was digging through my stuff this week and found an old 45rpm record of that chart-busting single, “Johnny Podres Has a Halo ‘Round His Head.”
“…he knocked those great big Yankees stone-cold dead.

Johnny Boy went all the way.

I don’t think they do this anymore, but Michigan State used to have the block “S” on one side of the helmet and Sparty on the other side.
Which kind of makes me wonder…how did MSU get away with the monopoly on the simple block “S” and letting everyone refer to them as “State”?
I mean, they go by simply “State” on their b-ball jerseys, no “Michigan” modifier needed…and when they did have both “Michigan” and “State” on the jersey in 2000, the national championship year, the “Michigan” print was really tiny.
And all the other big D-I “State” schools always, ALWAYS use another modifier when abbreviating: K-State, OKState, NC State, Penn State, etc. MSU is the only one, it seems, that people just call “State” on a national level (ie, on Sportscenter highlights and such).
I’m a pretty big MSU fan but for some reason I’ve always wondered why they were the first ones to think of using the block “S” and why whenever anyone sees a block “S” they think of MSU (and vice versa)…
