Big stage. Big life. Big meals.

It's Thanksgiving, in case you don't have access to a calendar. And so the Big Ten reporting crew will be taking a rare day off, barring any breaking news. (Note to the 14 league teams: please don't break any news. It can only be bad news, anyway.)

We are continually grateful that we get to write about football for a living and that you take the time to read it. Have a great holiday, stuff yourself full of delicious food and then come back here on Friday as we resume the final weekend of the regular season, starting with Nebraska-Iowa.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
