The holiday season is almost upon us.
Thanksgiving is a time for reflection
Malls will be filled with families, little kids will be sitting on Santa's lap and sorority girls will be wearing those crazy Christmas sweaters.
In six days, students will evacuate this campus, hopefully headed for homes filled with loving families, dinner plates topped with stuffing and turkey (the ones you eat, not the ones you bowl) and televisions flooded with more football games than you can count.
In the good ol' days, my dysfunctional family would gather around the dinner table and, before we began to feast, give thanks that Barry Switzer had crushed Tom Osborne and that the Detroit Lions' rotund defensive ticker Jerry Ball had been awarded John Madden's freakish six-legged turkey.
Man, those were the days.
My Oklahoma Sooners haven't beaten Nebraska in seven years, and the jolly Jerry Ball is out of the NFL. Not much to give thanks for this year, it seems.
But because I know that I'll have to say grace and that it could be embarrassing if I draw a blank, I'm relying on a list of thanks that I have made.
Harley Rattiff sports @kansan.com
Unfortunately, time moves on and things change.
First, thanks to my devoted family and wonderful friends. Sometimes it's those who are most important that never get enough credit.
But enough with the sentimental stuff — it's time for the real thanks.
Thank you Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Your recent professional basketball dominance means that the Kansas student body has to put up with the endless stream of crap spewing from the mouths of students from the greater Chicago area attending school here
I think that my ears might start bleeding if I hear one more kid from Naperville, Ill., yappin' about the Bulls. It doesn't seem to matter that the Bulls are just 64 this season.
On a similar note, thank you Dave Wannstedt and the Chicago Bears. The laughingstock organization of the NFL will keep our good friends from the Windy City quiet at least until June. Two words for all you Bears fans: Rick Mirer.
Thanks to my little cousin Andy.
Every family needs a whipping boy when it comes to those Thanksgiving backyard football games. He never fails to end up at the bottom
of the dog pile. Again. And again.
And again. Sorry Andy, but there will be no six-legged Madden turkey in your future.
My final pigskin thanks goes to the scientists who created the mechanically-engineered, robotic knees of my all-time favorite quarterback, Dan Marino. His new knees have extended his career, and, if you listen closely, you can hear this really cool "Robocop" like noise when he drops back into the pocket.
May all your teams win, and may all your turkeys have six legs. Happy Thanksgiving.
I could go on, but I imagine that this list will be enough to get me through our pre-dinner ritual. My family might not approve, but to quote a cliched sports phrase, "I did my best, Coach."

Volleyball team hopes to down Texas giants
By Matt Gardner
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team will finish its road tour of the Big 12 Conference this weekend when it two-steps into Texas for matches against the Aggies and Longhorns.
The Jayhawks hope to win two games against No. 17 Texas A&M and No. 10 Texas.
With the Big 12 title still up for grabs, the two Texas teams might be looking toward the last weekend of the season, when they face No. 22 Colorado and No. 11 Nebraska.
NOW IS THE TIME!
Schonewise said that she thought her team was turning things around, though its record did not tell the story.
Big 12 this year.
"We're playing a lot better now," Schonewise said. "We're playing with a lot more energy, and our team defense is much stronger. We haven't blocked as well, but we are controlling the ball better and making better decisions."
This change for the Jayhawks comes after a midseason slump where off-court conflicts and differences between the players and coaches created problems.
"We need to just take a step forward and beyond," Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewise said. "They're both top 20 programs and finish the next weekend with Nebraska and Colorado. We're looking to stay focused, and we may can catch one of them off guard."
"We're working more together now," said Kendra Kahler, senior right-side hitter. "We were both wanting to do things the same way before, but we were just seeing things in different ways and now we've kind of compromised."
Kansas (8-12) has lost eight matches in a row and has a 1-7 record on the road in the

The Jayhawks will need to be on top of their game against both Texas schools, as both have wins against Kansas this year. The Aggies defeated Kansas in four games Oct. 25. Kansas

finished with a .094 hitting percentage. The Jayhawks committed 14 service errors, and Texas A&M had 55 kills.

Another disappointing loss for Kansas was Oct. 24 to Texas. The Jayhawks hit a season-low .059 hitting percentage, and Longhorn hitter Demetria Sance had 14 kills.

Schonewise said that she hoped her team's growth throughout the season would show this weekend.
