Thanksgiving and Black Friday are two holidays deeply
intertwined in American culture, each reflecting a unique blend of
history, gratitude, and modern tradition. While one honors the past and
celebrates family unity, the other ushers in the holiday season with
excitement and anticipation.
The History of Thanksgiving: A Journey of Gratitude
Thanksgiving’s roots stretch back to 1621 when Pilgrims and the
Wampanoag tribe shared a feast to celebrate a successful harvest. This
moment of unity and mutual respect has grown into a national holiday,
celebrated every fourth Thursday of November in the United States.
President Abraham Lincoln officially proclaimed Thanksgiving a national
holiday in 1863 during the Civil War, emphasizing its role as a day of
gratitude and reflection.
Over the years, Thanksgiving has evolved beyond its historical
origins, becoming a time to gather with family and friends. The holiday
often begins with a prayer or expression of thanks, followed by a hearty
meal. Traditional dishes like roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed
potatoes, and pumpkin pie grace dining tables across the country,
symbolizing abundance and shared blessings.
Thanksgiving Traditions and Activities
The traditions of Thanksgiving are as diverse as the people who
celebrate it. Here are some of the most cherished activities that bring
communities together:
Parades: Iconic events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New
York City feature colossal balloons, marching bands, and festive
performances. These parades are broadcast nationwide, offering a shared
spectacle of joy and creativity.
Football Games: Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without football.
Families and friends gather to watch the day’s games, a tradition that
has become synonymous with the holiday.
Volunteerism: Many communities emphasize the spirit of giving back
during Thanksgiving. Soup kitchens, food drives, and charitable events
are common, as people extend their gratitude by helping those in need.
Turkey Trots: These family-friendly races are held in cities and
towns nationwide, offering a fun way to start the day with exercise and
camaraderie.
Gathering Around the Table: The highlight of Thanksgiving remains the
meal, a time to reconnect with loved ones, share stories, and reflect
on life’s blessings.
Black Friday: The Start of the Holiday Shopping Season
Following Thanksgiving, Black Friday has emerged as a modern
tradition, marking the official start of the holiday shopping season.
The term "Black Friday" originated in the 1960s, referring to the day
when retailers would turn a profit, moving from “red” to “black” in
their accounting ledgers.
Black Friday is famous for its early-morning store openings,
doorbuster deals, and bustling crowds. Over time, the event has expanded
into a weekend-long shopping extravaganza, including Cyber Monday for
online deals. It’s a time of excitement as people hunt for bargains and
shop for holiday gifts. For example, you can buy 30% off products on
isopia’s official website.
Holiday Spirit: Blending the Old and the New
What makes Thanksgiving and Black Friday so special is how they
reflect both traditional and contemporary values. Thanksgiving honors
gratitude, family, and community, while Black Friday embodies the
excitement of the holiday season and the joy of giving. Together, these
holidays kick off the festive period in a uniquely American way, uniting
people across the country in celebration.
So whether you’re sharing a meal with loved ones, enjoying a parade,
or scouting out the best deals, these holidays offer something for
everyone. Happy Thanksgiving, and may your holiday season be filled with
joy and warmth!

Elevating Your Team: Strategies from Coach Matt Ruhle
By Keith Grabowski
Unlocking the potential of your players is crucial to the success of your team.
Nebraska Head Coach Matt Ruhle shared his experience, strategies, and three essential rules for building a strong coaching staff and team at the Lauren’s First and Goal Clinic.
He
points out that he and his coaches focus on the top 10% of your team
and recognizing them publicly. By doing this, you can elevate the entire
team's standards.
In looking how a team is built, Coach
Rhule sees it as three parts: Roster, Locker Room, and Football. He
explains that in this video:
Coaching the Top 10%
Coach Rhule shared a
Gallup study that revealed three groups of workers: engaged, not
engaged, and actively disengaged. He stressed the importance of coaching
the top 10% of your team, as recognizing and talking about them
publicly will help the middle 80% shift towards them. This will raise
the standards of the team as a whole, and by continuing to focus on the
top performers, you can create a culture of excellence and high
performance.
Building a Successful Coaching Staff
Coach
Rhule shared his three rules for staff: do what you're asked, protect
the staff, and put the players first. To create a team of staff members
that are engaged, productive, and successful, Coach Rhule explains
weekly one-on-one player interactions, weekly player position group
training table meals, a semester position bonding trip, weekly academic
follow-ups, and weekly goal-setting sessions.
He also emphasizes the importance of introducing
yourself to the parents and having a position manual. By following these
rules and guidelines, you can build a coaching staff that is dedicated
to the success of the team and the individual growth of each player.
By
focusing on the top 10% of your team and building a strong coaching
staff, you can elevate your team's performance and create a culture of
excellence. It’s energizing to you and your coaching staff as well.
Instead of putting the focus on incorrect behavior, it highlights what
the best on your team do and thus raises the bar for everyone.

3 SPO’s to Protect the Passing Game and create opportunities in space
By Keith Grabowski
The RPO
revolution certainly has not ended. The run game will continue to be
protected by the RPO. The next tool that offenses will focus on is the
SPO or Screen Pass Option. Some coaches also call this the Pass Screen
Option or PSO.
Either way, it’s a good way to throw the ball downfield to an open receiver OR get the ball to a player who has blockers with the screen.
Why screens in general? Kevin Morris, offensive coordinator at Penn, explains how the screen game is beneficial to the offense in this video (click image for video):
In its simplest form, you don’t even have to pull
a lineman. The QB can be taught to understand safety rotation and
numbers and either take the downfield throw or reset and throw to a
perimeter screen as explained in this video with slot-fade one side and a
smoke screen on the other:
Adding the linemen into the screen game certainty
takes the timing for the linemen, but provides explosive play
opportunity. The premise is relatively simple. The quarterback will
drop looking at his read and be thinking “Pass Unless.” Here is an
example from Coach Morris with the screen to the field:
When the linebacker moves to take away the
downfield running lane, most certainly the numbers are good for the
running back screen. Here’s an example from Bobby Acosta, new head
coach at Del Valle HS in Texas:
This may take some thought on how you can fit
this into your offense and certainly will take some practice drilling
the timing of the screen, but the PSO/SPO gives your offense the ability to get the ball to a player in space and gain big yards.
