Turkeybowl 2008

Thanksgiving morning we had our annual Turkeybowl game with the Koralewski's. Like every other game, we all had a chance to live in glory of yesteryear. This Thanksgiving I was extra cautious due to my back; however, that was no reason to miss out. Brian and Pat were the captains and some how, we had the young guys (I was the oldest) vs. the Not-as-Young Guys. It turned out to be one of our more evenly matched games in many years. The NaYGs tied the game at 42 with 30 seconds to play. They attempted to delay the game but, we snapped the ball right before the time ran out. Brian through a Hail Mary into a group of 4, Ethan tipped the ball up and Sam came up with it and scurried into the end zone for a 49-42 Victory. The NAYG's protested, stating we had some players off-sides. I guess "history" will have to decide. Since the YG's should be around longer, I'm sure history will decide correctly. Ethan was awarded the Turkeybowl MVP for 2008 with 4 amazing catches while fighting through coverage on each grab.
