The countdown to Thanksgiving is here. I love the beautiful golden turkey but for me, it’s all about the sides. The more sides the better.

I heard there are over 3,000 calories in one Thanksgiving dinner meal. So basically, we will have to work out 24/7 to burn off those calories. (just kidding) Not to mention the 2nd plates and leftovers we all consume. Is it worth it? Thanksgiving to me is more of the spirit of being thankful, being around people you love, and of course football.

The Thanksgiving holiday also means football action on television and trash talk at the dinner table. I find that sometimes the conversation turns to the coaches of the SEC.  Here are my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes as SEC Coaches.
