RE: What are you Thankful for?
Sometimes I get very very upset over Basketball and football losses. Bad.
It's when we have some consistent marginal teams that perspective comes back to me as a sports fan. It's just a damn game. It's amazing that as a person overcoming and dealing with some health issues that I still get very frustrated with losses.
I'm thankful that I have a great group of friends that enjoy UT sports like I do and share season tickets. Winning or losing it's still great to get out, talk about life, and enjoy our beautiful campus.
So many blessings. i never knew what I had and HAVE until recently.
I'm still happy to reside in Toledo. This forum gives me great pleasure to interact with very intelligent fellow UT posters. I love the insightful posts and razor sharp insights on this board. thankful to be alive.
Go Rockets!

Yep and if you go back as far as 1990s, the total decline is even more (-8000 students)

I'm thankful ice cold beer is still being brewed and can be purchased at many establishments, including on Sundays, and is rarely ever sold out. Having one in your hand makes watching UT football games at the end of the season easier on the blood pressure...

RE: What are you Thankful for?
I am thankful for my family, my employment, to work with great people, to be able to get together over the holidays, and thankful for my favorite past-time, the Rockets. I am thankful the Rockets are competitive in both FBall and BBall. I am thankful the Rockets get a shot at the championship in Football. We haven’t bought our tickets yet, not sure who all’s going. We definitely plan to go.
