    Not that it took a lot of smarts, or I couldn’t have done it, but I did predict True would show up as a pitcher. Now we’re left to wonder if it’s in a bit part; if he’ll fall for Boo, and be Boo’s boo; if John Pascoe’s scholarship offer will be part of the plot or was just a two-day wonder; and finally, was there some significance to saying it was Wednesday morning on the first day of the new story?

    Notice that as soon as practice started, all of the adults suddenly disappeared.What is it exactly that these “coaches” get paid for?

    Next thing you know Tru will specialize in Geography so he can protect himself from trying to drive to Hawaii.

    I’m kind of hoping Lumpy ends up being the catcher for the team. Frog crotches should be available for all seasons not just basketball.

    Panel 1-Protect his chin? Is he going to pitch so badly he’ll hit himself in the face? Hey, Gil is here in spirit…notice Omari’s silhouette. Kinda looks like Gil…

    Sigh…it’s not “these kids today”…it’s “kids these days”. Then you’re supposed to scream something about them getting off your lawn.

    In all reality , right on Bitsy and when the shot put lands on your lawn you’re supposed to run out and snatch it and take it inside telling the putter I’m keeping it . The tosser of the put usually says Boo Hoo.

    Two new plot possibilities. 1) Tru throws out his arm and can’t play football next year 2) Tru is the second coming of Sandy Kofax and has to decide between football at Miami of Ohio or baseball at Chicago Circle, Illinios. Oh, the suspense.

    In all reeality , Gil didnn t let True play basketball bcause he wanted True to rest his arm but he s Ok with True pitching ? Meanwhile the quest to determine the orgin of Boo’s nickname continues .

    Been having internet trouble. Catawba college that was mentioned the other day is a real school here in NC. It’s in Salisbury about 60 miles north of where I live.

    Dan Snyder must have bribed the tribe to keep the name.
