HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I hope all you fellow bloggers out there have a Happy Thanksgiving and I would also like to wish everybody else who stops by to visit my blog a HAPPY THANKSGIVING also. Well the Virginia Cavalier basketball team got off to pretty good start yesterday but in the end the Wichita State Shockers pulled out a 70-58 win over the Cavaliers. The VCU Rams suffered a similar fate yesterday playing Tennessee in Madison Square Garden, the Rams hung close most of the game falling to the Volunteers 77-72. It looks like we are going to have dry Thanksgiving before some rain sets in Friday, we are about inches behind on the rainfall for the year so I guess we need it. Scott I still need your picks and if you see Biff I need his well. MICKEY
