The rookies showing up today <| sep |> Im late , but better late than pregnant . Akron Turkey , usually looks really good and maybe even smells good , but most of the time just comes out kind of rubbery Ball State Cranberry sauce , every mostly forgets about it and it just sits on the table . Grandma homemade it a couple times and was awesome , but after she died you just bought the Ocean Spray and every ignores it again . Bowling Green Green bean casserole , more times than not its tasty , but every once and a while there not enough fried onions on top or too much cream of mushroom and it ' s real runny and a real mess . Buffalo Spaghetti , you wonder why the hell its there , but then you remember it ' s for your super picky cousin and you realize it kind of serves a purpose , but overall you ' d prefer it not be there . Central Michigan Dinner rolls , always just solid , and produces good results , but never overly spectacular . Eastern Michigan creamed corn , its usually awful , but this year you got daring and added some hot sauce and decided this ain ' t so bad after all . Kent State store bought gravy , I personally loathe gravy , but you realize there are people who like it and you coexist with the food dish , but you refuse to try it . Miami OH Pumpkin pie , you forget about it 97 % of the time but every now and then you remember it and it ' s amazing . But the other times you think about it and it just seems awfulNorthern Illinois Stuffing , it ' s usually one of the best dishes out there especially combined with enough salt or hot sauce and it ' s a world class meal . Mom must have been hungover cooking it this year though , as it ' s just not quite right . Ohio Alcohol , the party starter . May not be the first thing you think of Thanksgiving but and isn ' t always the best , but you get drunk and that ' s what matters here . Toledo gizzards . Feed them to your neighbors mangy mutts and hope they crap it out their kitchen floor in the middle of the neighbors dinner . Western Michigan Mac cheese , the absolute number 1 dish , the highlight of the meal . It was made by your brothers girlfriend though , who you feel is on the verge of leaving and you may not have it again . UMass homemade gravy , you thought it may be a good idea at the time but after a couple tastes you end up tossing it the trash .
