| Newcomers �Wild� Bill Burns and Dean �The Dream� Mozien took on leading roles for both their squads, scoring key touchdowns and making game-changing plays. �Wild� Bill Burns lead his squad to victory by pulling in key scores and bringing an overwhelming presence to the defense.
�He�s an intimidating presence son,� Indiana Pacer Ron Artest said. �If he threw beer at me from the stands, I�d ignore him, he�d romp my behind son.� |

| �Wild� Bill�s squad featured some gritty veterans including Joe �Iron Man� Lee, The Hawe Brothers and Turkey Bowl I participant Danny �Lee Roth� Appleman. The squad meshed to create an offensive powerhouse lead by �Iron Man� Lee�s arm and the reliable hands of Richie �Van Halen� and �Big Daddy� Hawe.
THE CONTEST Although Dean �The Dream� Mozien�s squad came up two scores short, they jumped out to an early two score. Lead by veterans Travis �Favre� Demers and Chris �The Warrior� Ghirardi, they scored two quick touchdowns and looked to runaway with the game. "I was about to flee the country to Cuba after the first quarter," said former baseball superstar Pete Rose. "I had thousands riding on The Hawe Brothers and their squad. Things weren't looking so great." |

| Down by two scores, Joe "Iron Man" Lee took the reigns at quarterback and began to march his team up the field. Completing passes left and right, the "Iron Man' brought stability to his squad and grabbed a two score lead by halftime.
As the contest moved on, it wasn't just offense for "Iron Man's" squad, the defense stepped it up and began to runaway with the game. Danny "Lee Roth" pressured the always dangerous Rich "Diesel" Siebert, coming up with a key third quarter interception. |

| �They must have been watching Tom Emanski�s defensive drills video before the game,� said Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight. �I didn�t have to throw a single chair on the field this year.� MOUNTING A LATE COMEBACK Down by four scores at the start of the fourth quarter, Dean �The Dream� Mozien�s squad narrowed the lead to one score. Travis �Favre� Demers began marching his team up and down the field, scoring on two consecutive drives. |

| ��Favre� looked like he might just might pull it out,� said former Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt. �I�m going to sign this kid when I take my next job in the CFL.�
Although the comeback failed in the end, it brought an element of excitement to this year�s historic edition of the Turkey Bowl. The outstanding play and gritty performances sets a high standard for next year�s Turkey Bowl VII. |
