Notes

  • For this purpose, 'Thanksgiving Week' runs from the Monday before to the Sunday after Thanksgiving./li>
  • During his research for The Oklahoma Football Encyclopedia, Ray Dozier said he found many game dates in the media guides from the early 1900s that were assumed to be on Saturdays, but weren't.
  • Thanksgiving days as determined by timeanddate.com.
