We shoved the celebrity photo after the jump … Further proof the world is falling apart: the terrifying terrorist attacks in India … if executives can give back bonuses in Switzerland, why not here? … really sad that the jury couldn’t find this Myspace Mom guilty on the felony charge …
Yes, UNC looked quite awesome – particularly Ty Lawson – in beating up on Notre Dame to win the Maui Classic last night. Hansbrough had 34 points, and Lawson was a blur with 22 points and 11 assists. We’d love to see Kyle McAlarney (39 points) in a 3-point shootout with Steph Curry in, say, the Sweet 16 or something. (Yahoo Sports)
How did Crowder get the same penalty as Light? A joke, indeed. (Phins Insider)
Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin had his streak of 20-20 games snapped, but he did register 32-15 and the Sooners rode the hot hand of reserve Cade Davis to pull away late and defeat UAB. (Oklahoman)

Is Lane Kiffin a done deal to the Vols? UT AD tells Knoxville TV station there’s no offer yet, but he’s the favorite. (Sparty and Friends, WVLT-TV)
It’s pretty cool that in the middle of the hot stove, the two biggest names in baseball are the Indian kids that were signed by the Pirates. (NY Times)
Celtics ride huge second half, rally to defeat the Warriors. (Celtic Blog)

TBL, working on a holiday.

Just as well, If Elizabeth Dushku came to Thanksgiving dinner, Grandma’d have a hissy and Gramps might have to come live with us.
November 27th, 2008 at 9:42 am
My goodness Ms. Dushku looks good

I’ll have to bookmark The Landry Hat. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I spent last night hanging out with my dad, uncle, and their bartender, hearing funny stories and talking sports over a few drinks. Saw the finale of that UAB-OU game, and it was close for a while.

LK will be a great hire for Tennessee… Actually he would be a great hire for ANY college team that’s serious about building a winning program JMO

@ Lance, You have tickets to the UT-A&M game tonight?
November 27th, 2008 at 9:56 am
@ Hakeem: Yes sir I do, I’m going to print them out soon. Why?
November 27th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I really should have called in sick today.
But here’s something I’m thankful for… the early game that I’m going to miss while I’m stuck at work is going to suck ass.

doesnt want a pardon he wants a commutation
November 27th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Just curious, I’m a little disappointed that they switched it to Thursday night though.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Besides, what do you think a pardon is for? To get famous people off
November 27th, 2008 at 10:04 am
And another reason why I’d rather live in the states (or at least be able to get their tv feeds)… the Texas – Texas A&M game that I was looking forward tonight isn’t on any of our channels.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:06 am
@ Billy, I hope its a good game tonight but I have a feeling UT is going to put 60 on them to make up for the last two years
November 27th, 2008 at 10:07 am
billy ….. did you see the game last night? im so sorry
November 27th, 2008 at 10:09 am
@Hakeem: true, which is one reason I’d like to watch. that and the fact that I love watching rivalry games like this… even the Nebraska – Colorado game is going to be entertaining.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:10 am
@ Hakeem: They have to run up the score for the sake of the BCS….the student section is going to hold up signs that say 45-35, or at least my dad and I will.
And I swear that if that drunk obnoxious dude-bro comes over to my section tonight, I’m pushing that waste-of-daddy’s money down a few rows and telling that no good piece of fuck that he fell.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:13 am
@moleman: nope, I don’t have the Centre Ice package anymore, so being able to see Islanders games is a rare thing. Last night was the Montreal-Detroit game and I didn’t watch much of that.
I’ve been impressed with how Joey MacDonald has played. But it’s hard to keep Malkin and Crosby under wraps like that for the entire game. Being outshot like that in the last period really doesn’t help.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Who is more annoying? drunk UT dude-bro or drunk A&M hick is thinks being an Aggie has some special meaning?
November 27th, 2008 at 10:15 am
i honestly wouldnt even blame him for the goals in the third period. the defending was just nonexistant.
the little ive seen of him he has looked good. obviously not the puck handler dipietro is, but who is right?
November 27th, 2008 at 10:28 am
you know whats awesome, explosive diarrhea on a holiday.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:29 am
chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven?
November 27th, 2008 at 10:30 am
finding a $20 in your jeans when you’re sorting your laundry?
November 27th, 2008 at 10:31 am
finding a chocolate chip cookie in your pocket
November 27th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I just tried as best I could, but nothing else I thought of would top explosive diarrhea. So that would be third on my list, right after chocolate chip cookies and that mystery $20 bill.

Striking up a conversation with that cute persian girl you see in the library every Monday, getting her phone number, and texting her throughout the week.
November 27th, 2008 at 10:34 am
also whats awesome, a dinner consisting of rotisserie chicken and rum. though im fairly certain its the cause of said explosions. good thing theres noone else here.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:14 am
TBL whats up on some Madden
November 27th, 2008 at 11:14 am
i can’t believe there are 26 comments here.
i am purposely not eating a large breakfast just so i can have room for a massive afternoon.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:21 am
that’s because the one token Canadian who doesn’t have this day off has chipped in and made 7 of those comments.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:26 am
im spending the holiday alone with a bottle of rum and a cornish game hen. so im doing my part.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:28 am
I can’t believe it’s not butter. (had to be done)
November 27th, 2008 at 11:29 am
i cant believe i took the whole thing
November 27th, 2008 at 11:32 am
MY KITCHEN IS ON FIRE!! Just kidding, I don’t have a home.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:39 am
i’d really question your priorities if you decided to post updates about your burning kitchen instead of putting out the fire.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Well I had to save my laptop. How else could I update search for things on The Google.
November 27th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Yawn
November 27th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I’m hungry, and it’s still 3 hours till i eat. I’m purposely finding stuff to do to avoid going to meet up with the family. Already cleaned the shower, think I’ll go wash my ride.

FRANK: Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The
rooster goes with the chicken. So, who’s having sex with the hen?
GEORGE: Why don’t we talk about it another time.
FRANK: But you see my point here? You only hear of a hen, a rooster and a
chicken. Something’s missing!
MRS. ROSS: Something’s missing all right.
MR. ROSS: They’re all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them.
FRANK: That’s perverse.
