It was that time of year again...time to visit with family and friends to catch up on old times and to get some great deals on Christmas presents; if you were brave enough to face the crowds.A day when most normal families are sleeping in late and thinking fondly of a big Thanksgiving Day lunch or dinner or both. But not the Haring Family and Friends. We headed to the field!
Not the corn or bean fields surrounding Sweet Aunt D2's and Uncle Glenn's estate...the field being referenced is the south 40... or the Turkey Bowl field.
Some call it the Field of Dreams (mostly the Blackaneers) while others don't have such fond memories. This was the fifth year of that the Haring Turkey Bowl has been played and to date it's Blackaneers 4-1 and Greenskins 1-4.
Andrea did some pretty heavy recruiting this year for the Greenskins picking up four key players. A special thanks to Jason, Jerrod, Jesse and Toby! While the four new additions to the Greenskin roster were key players and came up BIG when called upon the Blackaneers still outplayed the Greenskins; but not by much.
With the game out of the way there was nothing left to do but eat and enjoy one anothers company...so that's what we did. We ate and laughed and ate some more. Then we watched the real games. The Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, and Indianapolis Colts all won there Thanksgiving Day games...and next year the Greenskins will enjoy a Turkey Day VICTORY as well!
The Greenskins are currently recruiting for next year's game...should you find yourself available on Thanksgiving morning in 2008 around 9:00am please contact us soon! (8:30am if you want to tailgate)
