Update!! 1st Annual Area 51 Turkey Bowl

What: 1st Annual Area 51 Turkey Bowl

When: 7am – 8am Next Thursday November, 27th 2014

Where: Old Providence Elementary School (same AO as Hydra)

Why: Why Not?

Somehow Brown and myself have ended up as co-Turkey Q’s this year. After much debate, we decided to do something a little different this year for a Turkey Day Convergence. We are planning on having a competitive two hand touch (sure to be a few tackles) football game and award a Turkey Bowl Champion. Why are we doing this at 6:30am? Well some of you have expressed interest in doubling down and doing the Turkey Bowl Convergence in addition to the Turkey Trot in South Park. We aim to please all. Some typical Q and A will be provided below but if you have a question then ask and it might be answered.

**IMPORTANT**

IF YOU PLAN ON ATTENDING THE TURKEY BOWL WE ABSOLUTELY NEED YOU TO HARD COMMIT BELOW IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BY TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH . SERIOUSLY, IT WILL HELP US TO MAKE THIS RUN MORE SMOOTHLY

Q AND A

Q: Is it just a football game or will there be a workout as well?

A: Depends on how many folks sign up. We have a plan to do both or just the game. However, there will be penalties during the game that will involve hashtag downPAINment.

Q: Is this going to be a 2.0 friendly convergence?

A. Yes, but this is meant to be a competitive Turkey Bowl. None of this let me hand it off to my 2.0 and let him score a TD to make him feel good. However, we will have smaller footballs for 2.0’s and we can plan a game for them off to the side somewhere.

Q: Will it be two hand touch, flag or tackle?

A: We don’t need anyone getting hurt. It will be two hand touch with a few accidental tackles. If anyone has flags then let me know. We would need at least 24.

Q: Will there be a referee?

A: That is the plan

Q: Is there a trophy?

A: TBD

Q: Could this be an epic disaster?

A: Without a doubt

To make it official and start it off…I’m IN! Reminder to you soccer weirdos this is FOOTBALL, not Futbol. Based on the great F3 handles we have all contributed to, I expect to see Pretty Boy Quarter Back, Tackling Dummy, Run Stopper, just to name a few. Sign up, bring all your old gear, prove to yourself you still got it, and remember, at our ages, bragging rights is all we got!!

Absolutely hate l’ll miss this as we’ll be DR.

Someone should video the highlights. I’d also hate to miss a #SCTop10Nominee or perhaps #NotTop10. Could be a great opportunity for “NFL presents” footage as well.

Might I suggest everyone bring a light and dark shirts. Maybe some pickup ultimate frisbee? I’ll come prepared:)

With or without ruck?

Reply to Geraldo

Wear your ruck and you will be tackled.

In there like swimwear

I’ll have to learn how to count to 4 downs but I’ll try and figure it out. In. It would be more fair for me if we played on ice with skates though. Judging from the weather its not entirely impossible.

Looking forward to it. Lex Luthor

Good idea on time change. Football in the dark just isn’t the same. Good idea on bringing white shirt and dark shirt. I’ve got a set of 8 flags and will bring them.
