Happy Turkey Day!
If the store was out of rolls, or if your family suddenly requested rolls, I can recommend this recipe.
Can go in the oven after the turkey comes out, comes together super-quick, tasty.

It’s almost cookie season and I’m starting to plan my to-bake list.
So. What’s your favorite Christmas cookie? 🎄🍪
Sorry it didn’t work out for you, #bbn, but thanks for a lovely evening and letting me be a fan for a day.
And there’s your stop.
(A made field goal is also a stop in Big 12 math scenarios)
In retrospect, I might have picked the wrong shoes for this game …
I wore my WVU hat on the way to the stadium - and managed to exchange a hearty Horns Down with someone.
No one accosted me about hoops.
But successfully switched out once in-stadium.
Howdy from Kroger Field at The University of Kentucky.
Settling in for tonight’s game versus rival Tennessee.
This will be stop 23 of 130* in my quest to see a game at every FBS school.
* - Well. Might be more like 133 now.
More photos from a fun weekend down at Clifty Falls State Park (Indiana).
Pluses:
Ticket procured for the next leg of The Quest (barring something else working out before then):
Tennessee at Kentucky, November 6.
Winding my way out of East Lansing and to my bed for the night.
Congrats, Sparty.
Thanks for an energetic evening and a pleasant diversion from my team’s crushing loss.
Tie game here in the fourth quarter and I’ve also nearly drained my phone battery checking the WVU score …
I don’t mind, it’s a great song after all, but a late third quarter stadium sing-along to “Stacey’s Mom” is kinda weird there, Sparty.
Some light booing for Nebraska captains, an OK stadium intro bit and boisterous cheering for the home team.
Plus our first “Go Green, Go White” earnest appearance.
For the curious, those teams:
I can probably tolerate everybody else.
Putting this out here before kickoff.
On these trips, I root for the home team - unless it’s a select set of teams, or they’re playing WVU.
So I’m here to root for Sparty.
But I have a sinking suspicion that Nebraska is going to end up winning this game.
Hope I’m wrong!
How do I know I’m in Big Ten country?
Striped overalls everywhere.
I would joke about it being a pandemic, but … cries
Settled into my seat nice and early for the second game of the day, and with a sweet hat too!
Greetings from Spartan Stadium and Stop 22 of 130 for The Quest.
Now to see if I can catch a nap with this giant speaker right behind my head …
Thanks to the fine folks at SpartanTailgate.com for letting me crash their tailgate.
Also, here’s a magic photo of me next to a statue of Morgan Freeman?
Central Michigan, you’ve been lovely, but I need to head on down the road.
I’ll be following along to your incredible comeback on the radio, though.
Lovely afternoon for a football game.
One oddity: One of the few (only?) times I’ve seen the band play exclusively away from the press box/home sideline.
The marching band intro before Florida International at Central Michigan.
After this snippet came the alma mater - which included a fair amount of fans swaying.
Also! A surprise cannon firing at the end of the National Anthem.
Howdy!
Way up in Pure Michigan for the first of today’s doubleheader.
Settled into my seat (I think) for Florida International at Central Michigan.
This is visit 21 out of 130 for The Quest.
Back south for Nebraska at Michigan State tonight.
No idea where this will go, but I wanted to try and bring along little bits of the experience I get going to these games in an audio format - typically while I’m there.
I’ll probably mix in a few retorspective things from time to time, but right now, I like the idea of whipping out my phone, hitting record and uploading some thoughts or audio from these trips.
This particular “episode” is just a dashed off intro to the idea.
Next up for The Quest.
September 25, 2021:
12pm FIU at Central Michigan 7pm Nebraska at Michigan State
Best combo out of five (!) home games in the state of Michigan that day.
