Spanning the Collegiate World: Interesting updates along with B1G Weekly Honors

Happy Thanksgiving, Rutgers fans. Are you ready to stuff the bird...and yourself? Are you ready for some football? Are you looking for some light reading that will stir your sports juices? Look no farther.

They play college football on Thanksgiving. Really.

About ten years or so ago (2004 to be exact), Rutgers played Connecticut on Thanksgiving at Rutgers Stadium. Why, you ask? I don't know either. Bad idea. Around 20,000 people watched an ugly 41-35 RU loss. Tonight there are two games in the college ranks. Texas hosts Texas Tech and UCF hosts USF. Regarding the second one.
