Pucilowski's Big Challenge
Gentleman,
Here is an anonymous post sent to me. I fully support free speech and so here it is....
Andrew Pucilowski had the biggest game of his career in last year’s Turkey Bowl. Those closest to him always knew about his ability, but he still did not have the respect of opposing defenses. A lot has changed in a year. That sets up the stage for this year’s game and the big question surrounding “Pooch”. Can he have the same type of performance being the focus of the opposing defense? The answer is simply: no. Don’t get me wrong, Pooch has perhaps the best hands and great size to go along with good athleticism. But there is a difference when the defense designs there attack to shut you down. Pooch will not have the type of game he did last year, but the beauty of this game is that he does not need to in order for his team to win.
2 years ago Dan DeGeorge earned Offensive MVP honors. That year the opposing defense, (which included the likes of Selfy, Scott and Pooch) did not have an answer for DeGeorge. Last year was a different story. DeGeorge came in as the 3rd ranked player and was a practical no show on offense. Ferramosca was able to shut him down with the help of Tom over the top. DeGeorge’s team won the game. That’s the point when it comes to Pooch. He does not need to have another huge game, he will simply need to have a couple of big plays when the opportunities presents themselves.
Last year Scott was the number 1 overall draft pick. Scott has had much success over the years as a receiver. As expected, he drew the game’s best corner in DLo for the entire game. Scott did not have spectacular numbers. However, he was able to beat Dan once over the top for a receiving TD, helping his team overcome a 4 TD deficit late in the game. This will need to be Pooch’s role considering he will be drawing DLo for most, if not the entire game this year. No one will have a huge game against DLo, but a couple of big plays could be the difference between a win or a loss.
Pooch will still be a difference maker in this game, especially if the game comes down to the wire like it did last year. Pooch will not have the numbers he did last year, but that doesn’t mean his team won’t have the same result as they did last year, a win.

The Official 2009 Turkey Bowl Preview
Boys and girls, here we go. No dramatic build up and no superfluous adjectives. Here is the preview of the biggest game ever...
Team Pooch
QB- Kris Self
Analysis: The # 1 overall pick in the draft, Self has proven time and again that he is a dominant and versatile player. He has tremendous arm strength and quick feet. Self can take over a game and he must be respected by the defense. Defensively, he provides quick reactions and a strong football IQ. The opposing quarterback must effectively look Self off in order to complete deep passes.
Statistical Predictions: Passing: 45/65, 10 TD Passes, Rushing: 15 Attempts for 120 yds. 3 Rushing TDs
TE- Andrew Pucilowski
Analysis: For the first time in his long career, Pooch finds himself as the focal point of an offense. He has been a tremendous 2nd option receiver for the past 4 years but this year the hopes of Pucilowski Nation are squarely on the shoulders of this man. His soft hands and suprising versatility makes him a perennial All-Turkey Bowl possibility. Defensively, there are a few holes in his game. His man coverage is spotty but a zone coverage may provide the best solution to that problem.
WR-Matt Divirgilio
Analysis: Last year was a big year for Divirgilio and this year it has been reflected in him being drafted remarkably high. The previous years, Divirgilio has fallen under the titles of "stone hands" or a "paper player". Last year, he demonstrated dominance as a wide receiver. He exhibited big play potential last year, though some critics believe that was a product of defensive breakdowns. But he will look to put all those skeptics to shame with a big performance this year. Defensively, it seems that he will help play safety with Self. This is a big year for Divirgilio, if plays big then he will solidify his position, if not he will be doomed back to the late rounds.
WR/QB- John Farrell
Analysis: Making one's Turkey Bowl debut is stressful enough but doing it in the matchup of Scott v. Pooch is certainly a baptism by fire. Farell an all-around solid athlete and dominant softball player, looks to translate his softball success onto the gridiron. He will be called upon to do two things. First, he will be asked to make big catches when Pooch and Divirgilio are being smothered. And second, he will be asked to play quarterback when Kris Self wants to play WR. Defensively he is a complete unknown and this year will certainly prove to be a big stepping stone for Farrell.
WR- Paul Butler
Analysis: Making a massive jump in his draft position based on some good preseason workouts, Butler will enter this game looking to prove it was no fluke. A deceptively quick receiver, Butler is going to have to shoulder a significant amount of the offensive focus. Butler has to be effective in getting into the open spots in coverage. Without Butler as a solid option, Self may be forced to make throws he does not want to make. Defensively, he played a solid line and will probably look to do the same this year.
WR- Colin Self
Analysis: Coming straight out high school, Colin looks to become the LeBron James of the Turkey Bowl. He is quick and youthful but only time will tell whether or not he has staying power over the years in the Turkey Bowl. A choice of his brother, Colin will have to try to make his own name this year. He could be a very smart choice if he can effectively use his speed and good first step.
WR-Jack Mayer
Analysis: This year could be a big year for Mayer. Last year he proved to be an extremely effective short-mid range receiver. This year, with the 20 yd first down requirements, he could do even better. Mayer may prove to be a huge weapon for Team Pooch and could be the X-Factor for this game. It will be up to Self to spread the ball all over the field and into the hands of Mayer. Defensively, he will prove to be a strong force on the line.
Team Scott
QB- Tom Pistolas
Analysis: This is a big year for Pistolas. It is truly make or break. He will admit that he did not have the best outing last year. This year, he has been given the expectations of Team Scott. He was drafted third overall and he will look to make this choice a smart one. Pistolas has a strong arm and is a very good precision passer. He is very good at exploiting any holes the defense gives him and has an unusually high football IQ. Defensively, Pistolas can read the defense well and will look to make plays against the formidable Team Pooch offense.
Statistical Predictions: Passing: 41/55, 11 TDs. Rushing: 10 Attempts for 52 yds.
WR- Dan Delorenzo
Analysis: The Defensive MVP of last year's contest, Delorenzo is perhaps the greatest player in Turkey Bowl history. His speed and versatility as a wide receiver makes him an extremely difficult person to cover. Despite the smothering coverage, Delorenzo still somehow manages to make a large amount of catches. He has big play potential and has a knack for coming through in the clutch. Defensively, there is no better player in the game. He reads the defenses well and always seems to find himself stepping in front of passes and intercepting them.
WR- Scott Intravaia
Analysis: Making his coaching debut, Intravaia has drafted well by most accounts. But now that the draft has been sorted through, he will look to make his presence felt during the game. Intravaia provides a very effective deep threat and has among the best hands in the Turkey Bowl. His speed and hands make him a formidable and perfect compliment for Delorenzo. Intravaia has performed extremely well in previous Turkey Bowls. Defensively, he has the ability to make every pass a potential interception. He runs all over the field and creates a disastrous time for opposing offenses.
WR- Chris Desimone
Analysis: Speed and finess are the name of the game for this Turkey Bowl rookie. He is perhaps the biggest unknown in this year's game. Based on other sports, Desimone has speed and quick moves that could translate into him being a very effective receiver for this team. He has the ability to get behind the defenses and sure up other options for Pistolas. Defensively, he gives his team a potential lock down cornerback.
WR-Andy Delaney
Anaylsis: Delaney made a big impact in last year's Turkey Bowl. He displayed amazing heart and determination while making big catches for his team. His rare combination of speed and size makes him a great target for Pistolas. Delaney has proven to be a tough matchup for the opposing defense with his ability start quickly off the line. Defensively, he is very versatile and can matchup anywhere on the field.
WR- John McManus
Analysis: An unbelievable athlete with off the chart speed and athleticism. JD has become a big presence in the Turkey Bowl over the last couple of the years. He is a difficult matchup for opposing defenses. His hands have become better over the years and with that, so has his numbers. His deep play ability is arguably the best in the game. Defensively, he provides a strong presence in any position on the field.
Team Pooch
QB- Kris Self
Analysis: The # 1 overall pick in the draft, Self has proven time and again that he is a dominant and versatile player. He has tremendous arm strength and quick feet. Self can take over a game and he must be respected by the defense. Defensively, he provides quick reactions and a strong football IQ. The opposing quarterback must effectively look Self off in order to complete deep passes.
Statistical Predictions: Passing: 45/65, 10 TD Passes, Rushing: 15 Attempts for 120 yds. 3 Rushing TDs

Rumor Mill: 11/9/09
Self getting traded?- Rumors have been flying as to what kind of deal might get done before the Turkey Bowl. This certainly would be the biggest trade in Turkey Bowl history.
Pistolas' Bum Wheel- Tom Pistolas has recently suffered a set back while rehabbing his injured ankle. Pistolas was participating in a preseason workout when he apparently injured his ankle. Coach Scott Intravaia has informed part-time QB Mike D'Urso as well as himself to stay ready and prepared.

2009 Turkey Bowl Mock Draft
Boys and girls, so as the combine approaches us on Saturday and the Draft on Sunday, I am going to list what I believe will happen during the 2009 Turkey Bowl Draft. Please note, I am writing what I believe will happen during the Draft, not what I think should happen. Here we go:
Team Pooch
(1) Kris Self-QB-Vanderbilt- Pretty obvious choice here. Speed, experience, and football IQ are just some of the most powerful traits for this Quarterback. Kris would also like to play some WR and it will be interesting to see who Team Pooch picks to fill that 2nd Quarterback spot.
Team Intravaia
(2) Dan Delorenzo-WR- Notre Dame University
Analysis: Another obvious choice here. Delorenzo is the biggest impact defensive player in Turkey Bowl history. He also provides clutch catch ability.
(3) Tom Pistolas- QB- Colgate University
Analysis: This year it's make or break for Pistolas. Last year was a supremely dissapointing showing and if this year is a repeat of that, Pistolas will face a massive drop off in Turkey Bowl Drafts to come. However, if he can provide the type of precision passing that he has had in previous years then he will solidify himself as the # 2 overall pick. This pick is based on his play 2-3 years ago. Pistolas seems like a good fit for a game where both teams are going to play zone coverage and the weather is surely to play a factor. His short-mid range passing game will have to be on for him to be successful.
Team Pooch
(4) Matt Divirgilio-WR-Loyola
Analysis: This is the ultimate question mark pick. It's a question mark not because of talent but because his stock has skyrocketed based on one big game last year. Last year could have very well been a mere glimpse of this WR's talent or it could have simply been a fluke. The truth is that only time will tell. He certainly has all the physical tools that made him a star last year.
Team Intravaia
(5) John McManus-WR-Brown University
Analysis: A very consistent player. McManus has become a solid player on both sides of the ball. He is extremely physically gifted and would be a dominate force on the defensive line. His speed and athleticism makes him a perfect fit to contain Kris Self at quarterback. That is why this pick makes sense.
Team Pooch
(6) Dan Degeorge- WR-Princeton University
Analysis: Here is where it gets very very difficult to figure out who is going to get picked next. Self will undoubtedly have the attention of owner Andrew Pucilowski, and that is why Degeorge gets picked here. Degeorge is the type of player that will not go crazy for the score sheet but he is the type of player that is gritty and tough and will work hard every play.
Team Intravaia
(7) Mike D'Urso-WR- Hobart College
Analysis: After Ferromosca dropped out, D'Urso seems to be the next pick. D'Urso will come into the game with two things on his mind, winning and being a dominant force. After a good showing as a Quarterback, D'Urso will focus solely on the idea of catching passes. A fast wideout with good hands, D'Urso will be fueled and motivated by leading his team to a victory.
Team Pooch
(8) John Farrell-QB/WR- Georgetown University
Analysis: A logical pick here, Farrell will provide Team Pooch with a solid backup quarterback. He is a bit of an unknown, but that may work in his advantage. It will interesting to see what the game will hold for Farrell. Defensively he is also a bit of an unknown.
Team Intravaia
(9) Brendan Leanos-WR- Middlebury College
Analysis: A veteran of previous Turkey Bowls, he will look to shake off the rust and see what he can do. This pick makes sense because of his previous experience and athletiticism. Though this may be the highest he will get drafted. Little is know about what condition he is in and what he will bring. Previous showings were good and consistent but not spectacular. He is a good complimentary player.
Team Pooch
(10) Chris Desimone-WR-University of Notre Dame
Analysis: Weeks earlier Desimone was considered to be the last pick in the draft. But after the owners thought about it, his stock has risen. Speed and some versatility make him a promising and exciting late round pick.
Team Intravaia
(11) Andy Delaney-WR-Syracuse University
Analysis: Tall and quick, Delaney provided some sparks in last year's contest. Andy is a good option to have in the mid range area and can go deep. Defensively he is rather solid and will be able to effectively fit into zone coverage. He is a good compliment for a precision passing team like Intravaia's.
Team Pooch
(12) Kolin Self (I know it's with a C)- WR- High School
Analysis: Coming straight out of high school, he will look to the LeBron James of the Turkey Bowl. His speed is consistent and it seems that he will respond well playing with his brother. It makes it a logical pick here. Though he is certainly not locked into this position.
# 13 and 14 -Paul Butler and Jack Mayer- Too close to call. Both were extremely good last year. Mayer's line work is second to none and he provides a viable short pass option. Furthermore, his work as a defensive lineman provided a stable pressure upon the quarterback. Butler provides a good wide receiving option and was able to get into the open areas to make some very nice catches.
Team Pooch
(1) Kris Self-QB-Vanderbilt- Pretty obvious choice here. Speed, experience, and football IQ are just some of the most powerful traits for this Quarterback. Kris would also like to play some WR and it will be interesting to see who Team Pooch picks to fill that 2nd Quarterback spot.
