We once again started our Thanksgiving off right by giving thanks for the wonderful game of "Football!" Every year we hold the annual "Turkey Bowl" which mind you is no rag tag back yard event, thanks to Steve McDermott we have real flag belts and 3 sets of jerseys. I'm convinced that had Fox Football known about the game they would have covered it. Maybe some of us could have even got NFL contracts out of it, but we chose to keep the press out of this event and enjoy the guy bonding time. This year we had around 24 guys which made it perfect for 3 teams of 8. The first team to score stayed on the field which was nice because everyone got winded since most of us are hasbeens. The little black #4 in front is only one year old and looks to have a promising future in the NFL! We're counting on you Barratt!
Every so often during the game when guys got a burst of energy the game turned into "flackle rugby" since most of the guys playing were former rugby players for the U. All in all it was a fun day and made everyone appreciate football that much more!
A huge thanks to our loyal fans Rosie and Julie! Thanks for the fun game guys and I look forward to next year!
