Thanksgiving: a time of gluttony, uncles that get too amped up for touch football, and Christmas decorations in malls. Oh yeah, and giving thanks. It's so easy to get caught up with everything else that we usually forget the latter. Stanford fans: let's take some time to appreciate what we have (beyond the Axe, of course).
1. Utah is not on the schedule
Thank heavens Stanford didn't have to fly out to Salt Lake City, drive to Levi's Stadium, or even walk over to Stanford Stadium to play Utah this year. Rice-Eccles Stadium, the Coors Field of college football, is a weird place, and Stanford should never play them there, or anywhere, ever again.
