LSU’s volleyball team celebrating Thanksgiving

This Thursday, the Louisiana State University tigers took a short break from the intensity of the 2023 season to celebrate the national holiday as a family. A recent NCAA Women’s volleyball tweet was captioned as, “𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓: 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒔𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 .” While many celebrate Thanksgiving, sharing their feelings amid turkey and pumpkin pie with their family, team LSU shares quality time on the court.

As per the same tweet, it was a “would you rather” game. Every player was asked to answer, “Would you rather give a turkey a bath or take a bath in cranberry sauce?” While most of the players on the team chose to give a turkey a bath, two among them opted for taking a bath in cranberry sauce.
