Sorry for the lateness of the post today. I had some things to take care of in preparation of tomorrow. Funny quick story about that.
My parents are away in Hawaii enjoying Thanksgiving with my brother and some family members. My mom ordered me a turkey dinner for myself from Shaw’s. Now I thought I was getting a turkey breast and the side dishes that all I had to do was heat up.
Well I did get the food to heat up but I actually got a 10 lb turkey that was precooked. Not a breast but a whole dang turkey. Guess I’ll be learning how to carve one tomorrow.
Anyways, it’s game day for the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team as they are at Madison Square Garden to take on the LSU Tigers in the semifinals of the NIT Preseason Tip-Off. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN2. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can listen to the game on the WTIC/UConn Radio Network.
