Much frivolity is in the air as we head to Thanksgiving weekend. First though, we talk football (#sticktosports) and protests, as Chris was in attendance at last week's big Yale-Harvard football game. Michigan Tech is the Team of the Week after sweeping rival Northern Michigan. ... Our guest is Andrew Merrick, who played four years at Michigan and won a national championship in 1998 as a sophomore, and whose father, Wayne, was a member of four Stanley Cup champions with the Islanders. We touch on all of that and more, plus the current Michigan squad. ... And then our listener questions, where we debate the most overrated Thanksgiving food, and whether turkeys can fly.
