And by way of recap who can forget the 2010 Turkey Bowl for its great action and great cause as it was a huge success as South upends North 11-10

The 2010 edition of the epic tradition of football and food, otherwise known as the Nike Tuna Turkey Bowl, proved to be a game of the ages. A well played game amongst Denver’s finest celebrities, in front of a standing room only crowd at the University of Denver’s Barton Lacrosse Stadium, on a Crisp pristine Colorado Thanksgiving day that raised money for a great cause and charity.  Over $1,400 was raised by the sincere generosity of sponsors and fans for the Children’s Tumor Foundation, with more donations to come through Jammin’ 5280’s help with their internet broadcast and promotions. With concerns about the weather, the day turned out to be perfect for this gridiron battle.

All of the sponsors were set up along the side of the field serving up breakfast (homemade cookies provided by Simple Sugar Bakery, bagels and coffee provided by Citrus clothing), massages and stretching (provided by Omni Chiropractic’s Nelson Vetanze and Allied Healthcare Services and Josh Vickers), sports drink were also aplenty thanks to H.A.R.D. Nutrition, and of course the keg of Hibernation Ale was in full use donated by the Great Divide Brewing Co.

At 10 a.m. sharp the smell of Ben Gay and beer was in the air as the squads gathered together to begin the process of stretching aged and decrypted bones and muscles and to be motivated by lengthy pregame speeches. The South squad (left) was motivated by South Team captain, Jake Sensenbaugh. While the North Team just smoked Marlboro Reds and downed shots of Jaegermeister.

After the pregame speeches, the traditional tossing of Mike Matthews ensued to determine which team he would play for and then of course was the traditional ceremonial throwing out of the first drunk and the North lost the toss and first drunk, Matthews was thrown out and wound up playing  for the North.

1st Half

The standing room only crowd in the Denver University’s Barton Lacrosse Stadium when kickoff took place witnessed a resurgent North offense in the first half. The North took offense first led by former CU quarterback (CU’s all time passing leader) Joel Klatt.  Klatt led them to an easy first score (right) where it then seemed like the South defense was going to have a long day. Throughout the first half, Klatt was finding huge holes in the porous South defense, completing multiple passes to Vic and Mario Lombardi, Matt Ogden and rookie, Dave Bratten. The North defense, led by former Broncos stalwart, Reggie Rivers and Trainer to the Stars Lauren Landau, thwarted nearly every South drive.

With the North leading the South 6-4 at halftime, it looked as though the North was heading for an easy win and revenge from the thorough demolishing they suffered in 2009. But as Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast my friend.”

Halftime

 

At halftime, all players and fans gathered round the end zone to watch the real competition and the dramatic conclusion of the annual Kids Turkey Bowl. There were a number of great performances led by veteran Turkey Bowler, Arum Brown, as well as from George Badaris, Zach Zatt, 2009 MVP, Bianca Urness, Dante Lombardi – Offensive MVP, Gavin Schaffer – Defensive MVP, and of course the talented and inspirational, Jake Sensenbaugh – Kids Turkey Bowl MVP.

Pictured left, Gavin “Hakeem Nicks” Schaffer and Dante Lombardi draw up a key 3rd and long play for the winning touchdown.

Two keys departures occurred at halftime: Joel Klatt of the North flaked out because his wife heard he was out playing ball and feared he would get another concussion. And Matt Russell of CU fame, left early because although he stated pregame that he was “coming and bringing hell with him,” he in fact brought hell and a stench of last night’s beer and left to work off his hangover.

2nd Half

The South team started with the ball in the 2nd half and quickly scored a touchdown on the weak North defense making it 6-5. The North then took the field, without their stud QB Klatt, and quickly became flustered by the punishing South D. Save for two desperation bombs from the wounded arm of last year’s goat QB, Mario Lombardi, for touchdowns, the North’s offense was anemic in the 2nd half.

The game soon resembled last year’s drubbing with the South proved to be heading to victory, led in the 2nd half by their confounding 4 quarterback rotational system consisting of veteran Roger Wilson(1 td), high school prodigy Brock Berglund (pictured right trying to patiently wait for KU and Chicago Bulls basketball legend, Mark Randall (19) to at least pass the line of scrimmage)(2 td’s), CU intramural MVP 8 times over – Mario Vetanze (5 td’s), and lowly intern and former Texas A&M QB Kevin Westerman (the author of this report and 3 td’s).

The South defense was anchored by the LACROSSE rush consisting of lacrosse legends Trevor Tierney, General Manager of the Mammoth, Steve Govett, and former Pro laxer, Bill Edell. The most famous threesome since Super Bowl 1 and legendary max McGhee and the Double mint twins[1]), pressuring, harassing and forcing the North into constant pressure situations and causing multiple turnovers were what these guys were all about yesterday. “I was scared for my life,” said North QB Mario Lombardi. (Maybe that’s why he left with a “groin” injury?), these guys never stopped! It was almost like they thought I was one of the Double mint twins and was wearing a bikini!!”

For the South, Defensive Back Geoff Bieging was holding down the secondary, while Ex CU Great and multiple time NFL Pro Bowl Linebacker, Chad Brown was swarming the ball all over the field. For the North, former Bronco Reggie Rivers was causing havoc in the South’s backfield all day. Rivers was the Chuck Bednarik of the Turkey Bowl, relentlessly playing on both sides of the ball until he suffered a bruised female part and was slowed to a turtle like crawl.

Chad Brown was “Mr. Do it All” in the game and in the South’s victory. Brown, the 2009 game MVP, tried in vain for the back to back award and played every snap of the ball whether it was as a safety, rusher, O-Lineman, receiver he was out there beasting everyone (even Reggie Rivers).

Throughout the 2nd half, passes were flying from all 4 quarterbacks, with most of them making their landing in the hands of 9’3” Mark Randall. A huge target for the South, it took both Lombardi brothers, each of whom are shorter than 5’0”, to climb on each other shoulders to even have a shot at defending Randall. His lumbering stride was only secondary to his massive hands and even large appetite for the keg.

A surprising display of athleticism was displayed by Offensive MVP, Peter “SportsCenter” Schaffer (pictured right #25). Catching 3 TDs along with 492 receiving yards, the North clearly did not game plan against Schaffer at all. (for the Record, even though this e mail comes from his e mail address he did not draft the same or have any part in the any of the post game award voting, even though it should be noted that the authors intern grade is solely in his hands and he did arrange for the free kegs of beer for the game.)

Also, everyone was talking about the weird relationship between South QB Mario Vetanze and South WR Chris Blackmon. Vetanze wouldn’t even look at other receivers when Blackmon was in the game, solely focusing on his crisp route running abilities and fantastic running form. The pair did combine for many hooks up on the field and were seen spooning each other after the game in the corner of the end zone. A very uncomfortable picture for sure. The final conclusion is that they are clearly gay.

Overall, the South finished the game with an 11-10 victory over the North, even though the South let the North have 9 downs on their last drive to try and tie the score.

Blake Anderson (pictured left #5) – stellar performance in first half, and actually almost made it to halftime before shredding his hamstring.

Awards

Offensive MVP – Peter “All I do is score first downs and touchdowns” Schaffer – With 3 receiving TDs and one slow-motion 60 yard reception, Schaffer played out of his mind on both offense and defense

Defensive MVP – Reggie Rivers – dominating force on the North defense. Actually, he was the only thing dominating on the North side all day.

Defensive ROY – Trevor Tierney – lacrosse legend and sack monster

Offensive ROY – KU and Chicago Bulls legend Mark Randall – unstoppable force in the red zone. Word is that Matt Russell raced back to tell Coach McDaniel about his find.

Weakest muscles – Vic Lombardi – pulled every muscle in his body

Failed to answer the bell – Derek West – was planning on playing all the way up until the time where he got arrested last night for stealing the chair at the bar with his name on it

Lady Byng Award Greatest Sportsmanship – Jake Sensenbaugh (pictured right) – what an attitude on life, what a kid, thanks for coming and all of our best!!!

Intern of the Year – Kevin Westerman – from getting kegs, food, throwing passes, all of the above!!!

Best Throwback jersey – Mike Kenevan for his Shojn Podein Flyers jersey

Weakest Throwback Jersey (left) – Vic Lombardi wearing some type of men’s rec league basketball jersey.

Thanks again to all of our sponsors this year; we couldn’t have made this as much of a success as it was without all of you.

Thank you to the Children’s Tumor Foundation for what you do for these kids and families in their time of need.

See you next year for the 2011 edition of the Turkey Bowl’s infamous North vs. South rivalry!

There is always room for more Tunas if you are still interested.

Hello SNOW LOVER!  How about that first snowfall last night?  Here are some shots of the back yard taken by me from the warmth of the house!

The patio umbrella makes a nice Christmas tree, don’t you think? 

The heavy snow is bending the tree branch, but nothing snapped YET.  The grill shows a few inches as of 7:00 am. 

Otis is NOT a fan of the snow when he is looking for a place to go…

…I’m a HORRIBLE mother for taking and posting this picture of the pug.

:)

:)

Enjoy!

Ella and her parents live in Portland, so I have to just keep up with them via Facebook this fall, so here are the shots I snagged to share with you. 

Lish and Beanie in the patch!

You can see the family resemblance, can’t you?
