LINE JUDGE
Thanksgiving Day 2005 the temperature was in the teens and
a westerly wind blew at a steady 28 miles per hour with gusts to 35 miles per hour. Frozen snow covered the field which had fallen two days before the game. This by far was going to be the coldest Turkey Bowl ever! The game was close in the first half with each team taking turns taking the lead. In the second half the Blue Jell-O's lost the ability to score and the Oneida Red Gobblers broke out and went ahead and in the end they overwhelmed the Hobart Blue Jell-O's with a score of 49 to 21. The Turkey Bowl MVP was Jason Schmunkey with a whopping 3 interceptions and a fumble recovery which was certainly a contributing factor in the Red Gobblers domination of the second half of TB VI.
