The divisiveness of this past political campaign is tearing this country apart, to the point where some families have decided to not be together on this holiday because of the animosity. My wife's brother has even unfriended her and their younger brother on Facebook because of the election. But although this Bobcat family has its spats, we remain united in wanting the best of everything for Ohio University. We are Bobcats forever. Have a great and safe Thanksgiving.

We will get by.
We will get by.
We will get by.
We will survive.

Thankfully I don't have the political problem in my Family. But indeed, Happy Thanksgiving Bobcats! We all want our University elevated to another level and success. How we go about expressing that loyalty can be comical and opinionated. Hey....anyone can have an opinion :)

We have the political division in my family as well, with people supporting pretty much everyone who ran, from Johnson to Sanders to Cruz to Trump to Hillary. It really isn't different or more divisive this year than any other year. Politics is banned from Thanksgiving discussion... as it should be.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes

A Thanksgiving 'toast": May this day be giving you ample reason to smile and feel grateful, and above all to be savoring each moment with loved ones.

Why Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the midst of our greatest national discord:

Proclamation 118—Thanksgiving Day, 1864
October 20, 1864

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation

It has pleased Almighty God to prolong our national life another year, defending us with His guardian care against unfriendly designs from abroad and vouchsafing to us in His mercy many and signal victories over the enemy, who is of our own household. It has also pleased our Heavenly Father to favor as well our citizens in their homes as our soldiers in their camps and our sailors on the rivers and seas with unusual health. He has largely augmented our free population by emancipation and by immigration, while He has opened to us new sources of wealth and has crowned the labor of our workingmen in every department of industry with abundant rewards. Moreover, He has been pleased to animate and inspire our minds and hearts with fortitude, courage, and resolution sufficient for the great trial of civil war into which we have been brought by our adherence as a nation to the cause of freedom and humanity, and to afford to us reasonable hopes of an ultimate and happy deliverance from all our dangers and afflictions:

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart the last Thursday in November next as a day which I desire to be observed by all my fellow-citizens, wherever they may then be, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God, the beneficent Creator and Ruler of the Universe. And I do further recommend to my fellow-citizens aforesaid that on that occasion they do reverently humble themselves in the dust and from thence offer up penitent and fervent prayers and supplications to the Great Disposer of Events for a return of the inestimable blessings of peace, union, and harmony throughout the land which it has pleased Him to assign as a dwelling place for ourselves and for our posterity throughout all generations.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this 20th day of October, A.D. 1864, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-ninth.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

By the President:

WILLIAM H. SEWARD,

Secretary of State .
