The original Turkey Bowl was played on Friday, November 25th 2005 at Slauson Middle School in Ann Arbor Michigan. Memories of this game are mostly lost to time; however, there is one artifact that has been uncovered that gives a glimpse into the result of this game. In a brief email correspondence dated back to December of 2005 we see that the winning team was quarterbacked by Paul Zeichman and featured Adam Suliman at wide receiver. The Turkey Bowl would expand significantly the following year and therein the tradition was born.
