Another Thanksgiving tradition is the annual Turkey Bowl. Usually it is the Cougars vs. the Utes but we all know how one-sided that would be so this year we picked teams with Matt and Jake as Captains.
In order to avoid injury, we use flags instead of playing full-on tackle football. In the above scene JJ drops back to pass (with his Hannah Montana Jersey on). Jake is pretty open on the right side, but do you think he would throw that way?
Emotions can run high in this hard fought battle and sometimes we have to remind certain people to just pull out the flags and stop the body slamming. Oh, and by the way, if you have the ball and come anywhere near Raini, you can take it to the bank that she got your flag. She has perfected the two-handed flag grab.
The game ends when it is too dark to play anymore and we go in and eat pie. This year's game featured a fumbled kid, several pick-sixes, and even a hook and ladder for a TD. I'm sure Jake and Matt are already going over the films and scheming for next year.

Great post. You are so clever.
How in the world did you get the Ute football team to show up for Thanksgiving!!!???!!! Quite the trick to get them all out on parole on the same day.
