The Battle for the Governor's Cup is just three days from turning 22, which means it's time for a little bit of reflection ... and a lot of drinking ... and some turkey, but that's this whole other thing that's only tangentially related.

Local fast food restaurants sold giant "Game One" cups, everyone you knew was planning watch parties; to a 9-year-old, it seemed like the biggest deal in the world.
