Cue up Elvis’ version of “Follow That Dream.”

UCLA was your dream Dad, mine is Rodney, er, Boo, yeah that’s it.

Let’s see is the dude with the backpack a suicide bomber from Texas, sent to take out the competition or is this a TV crew catching Rodney and Sedrick on their “anonymous” visit, making them ineligible to play Division One sports.

Sedrick is a great wide receiver? He sure isn’t built like one. A tight end, maybe.

Joy…Roy….whatever

Sedrick is looking mighty portly in P3 especially for a 5 star recruit at receiver. Do they measure his 40 time with an hourglass. And speaking of 40’s, Sedrick should lay off of those so he can lose that beer gut before 2 a days start.

Looks like theres gonna be a dance off!!!!

Urgh. We’re supposed to care for a sideplot with characters who probably aren’t even from Milford’s STATE?

P1- True is setting Art Fart up for the payola scandal involving State. P2- Summer session going strong at TCU. Coach Gary Patterson’s glasses must be fogging up from all the excitement knowing Sed and Rod are unofficially on campus.

In all reality ,P 2 worst dialogue ever ,does anyone except in today’s strip still use DUDE and what a dimwitted reply Shedrick " Uh Huh ". True should hook Shedrick up with Boo so she could teach him some snappy comebacks . Boo might have said " Out of my face Froggy, I know you re a Horny Toad but why don t roundup your pet cow and have some fun Tex."

Uh oh, it seems the folks at TCU are a little upset someone’s been horning in on their “unofficial barbeque.”

Sedrick lives in Fort Worth, yet thought he could just sneak on to the TCU campus? Because I’m sure nobody from his high school, or that he ever played against, or went to camp with, or reads the newspapers in Fort Worth, could possibly attend TCU. I mean what are the odds he’d be recognized?

Coach Leatherfsce serves up some great ‘unofficial barbecue’ at Texas Chainsaw University

If he’s such a famous, elite local athlete, why don’t they know his name? And speaking of elite, you have the privilege of reading an elite publication, today’s Mopped Up Thorp. And let’s fire up the grill and get that barbecue going!

I miss Boo

The snag: someone recognized (kind of) Sedrick but not Rodney. Write this choice off. Cue theme music Love me with all your heart.

Wait a minute. Is this some sort of incomprehensible scheme to subvert the college football recruiting system, as incited by Coach Thorp a couple of weeks ago?

Or he could be a character out of an old surrealist novel Ubu Roy (King Ubu). Ellisburkes missed twice, today. His last name is Joy. He won’t be good enough for the NFL so the headline will be: Joy to the World (apologies to 3 Dog Night)
