Game notes

  1. Pittsburgh started the season without a coach. Hoskins became the coach in mid-November.
  2. Thanksgiving Day game
gollark: You could use, for all its problems, krist.
gollark: Technically, krist isn't much of a blockchain, it just happens to use a block-type thing for adding new currency.
gollark: It's not a websocket "sender".
gollark: You would just need one file which either just checks if it's on CC or the server and acts accordingly, or do some wizardry to make it valid code in multiple languages.
gollark: True, true.
