Mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffed turkey, maybe definitely some pumpkin pie (whipped cream optional) – oh, and seeing family; that’s what we’re thankful for most on Thanksgiving, right? This annual get together might be a little awkward this year for any number of reasons, but we’ll do our best to help get you through it!

They’re 5-2 in the Big 12 after losing to Oklahoma, but still have a lot to fight for. With remaining games at Iowa State and home versus Baylor, the Mountaineers (8-2) can still reach double-digit win totals for the season. Without looking too far ahead, let’ s look at what the team – and Mountaineer Nation – should be thankful for.
