10 Things We Are Thankful For Today

There are many things in life way more important than football, but since this is a sports blog we thought we'd list some things that we are thankful for relating to JSU football:

1. We are thankful that this team has an opportunity for redemption after the Tennessee Tech game, not only that the opportunity comes in the first ever home (edited) FCS playoff game for the Gamecocks;

2. We are thankful to LeAnn Crowe and Patty Hobbs who did an incredible amount of ground work to help organize and create a student section for the Gamecocks.

3. We are thankful for the students for making Burgess Snow Stadium a tough place to play.

4. We are thankful for the Southerners and Band Director Ken Bodiford. Number one in the country, no questions asked.

5. We are thankful that Coty Blanchard stayed home, turning down 40-50 scholarship offers in the process.

6. We are thankful every time Marques Ivory steps out on the field when we need a touchdown with two minutes to go.

7. We are thankful for Calvin Middleton, a workhorse running back that does not get near the publicity he deserves;

8. We are thankful to be fans of a team that has won 25 of its last 33 games and the hard work our coaches put in to get us there.

9. We are thankful that Big Texas Garrott plays every game like its his last.

10. We are thankful we beat Ole Miss.
