Time To Be Thankful

The Gryphon boys basketball team is off to a 3-0 start to the 2008-09 season which to me is quite surprising considering four or five football players are missing.

The Thursday lineup of Thanksgiving football looks as if they are all duds.

The Tennessee Titans I would suspect will take out some punishment on Detroit after losing for the first time this past Sunday.

Dallas plays the Seattle Seahawks and I think even if they have a bad game, the Cowboys win.

Texas plays Texas A&M. Texas needs an impressive win over A&M for the poll voters to stay ahead of Oklahoma in the BCS standings. Look for Texas to lay 50 on A&M.

Finally, the NFL Network which stands for "Not Found Locally: has the Cardinals at the Eagles.
Looks like the Eagles have given up on Donavon McNabb, but who else do they have.

I hope everyone has a very wonderful Thanksgiving because we are have plenty to be thankful for:

The Gryphons have won 21 straight home games. They have a home game Friday night in the third round. Since you haven't been to the first two playoff games, here is your chance.

According to the latest weather forecast sunshine Friday.

We should all be thankful this year for the baseball championship.

We should all be thankful that a man named B.W. Holt found Rocky Mount six years ago and has given us the best six years in Rocky Mount history. (win-wise) 70-12.

Hopefully, the baseball team has just opened the flood gates for others to follow.

Football practice is at 9 o'clock Thursday morning. For those of you who can never get by to see them practice at 3 p.m., here is your chance. Show your thanks to them and your support for their efforts. I doubt it will last more than an hour.

This senior class, the ones who played two years of JVs and two years of Varsity football, are 46-1 in their four years. Show them your thanks.

This is the fifth Thanksgiving football practice for the Gryphons in a row. Be thankful that is not as easy to do as you think.

Have a most thankful day!
