Gobbling up some football tomorrow?

Get your cheer on! Thanksgiving is well known for not only stuffing the turkey, and ourselves, but for enjoying football at all levels.

Everyone is talking about the Patriots vs Lions. Some speculate that the Pats will be too cocky from the win, albeit it a nerve wracking one at the end, against the Colts last weekend. Others think Tom Brady and company will come out and stomp the Lions, sending them back to their Detroit den like cowering kittens.

Locally, high school football will rule.

The "no parking" barrels are out in Putnam, and the field is ready to go for the big game tomorrow morning. With the leaves off the trees now, I can see the bleachers across the river looking out my porch windows.
This is the first year for the Quinnebaug Valley Pride as a cooperative team made up of athletes from Putnam, Tourtellotte Memorial (Thompson) and Ellis Tech (Danielson). The new entity, new name, and new uniform, which incorporates all three schools’ colors, bind the schools together. The rival will be the neighboring town's Killingly Redmen. It’s the first time since the Putnam (now Quinebaug Valley) vs Killingly Thanksgiving rivalry was re-established in 2000 that the game could bring more than bragging rights.

The way I see it, all the kids and local towns are winners in this game!

It will be broadcast on winyradio.com if anyone wants to listen!

I am a Putnamaniac because I love Thanksgiving football, local and big time!
