Thanksgiving Week CFB Open Thread and Beat $C Watch Parties

via cdn3.sbnation.com

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And to add a little cheer to our day I thought it would be fun to relive some of the schadenfreude from last year's game at the Rose Bowl. While we won't get to enjoy watching that smirk on Matt's face being smacked to the ground, they are still the Trojans (or is it Trogans) and it is always a joy to watch them beaten down. So as we get ready for this game, let's enjoy some moments from last year's 1st quarter put together by puntingiswinning.  I can't remember ever feeling so much joy.   My title for the highlights would be : Singin in the Rain (because I was):
