Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 17, 2016

Easy for that kid to say, he’s got his poncho on and isn’t even in the game.

Well, as long as you’re covering the essentials….

What is this “we” you speak of, grasshopper?

Judging from his Exploding Body Syndrome I’d say that kid in P3 got DeWindt knocked out of him. In’t that Steve Boone rallying the O line in P1? Shouldn’t he be using his good hand to hold an umbrella?

Why would you need to dress special to retrieve a sad piece of paper?

P1, Squeal like a pig!

The runner in P2 is about to fumble the ball. So much for the comeback.

Pete ( Gone With) Dewindt breaks the Jefferson lineman’s neck with a vicious block in P3. The game is called because of the dangerous conditions. The 6 people in the stands riot.

In all reality , P 1 Dennis Leary or Richard Speck rallies Milford , P 2 blatant holding by Milford ,P 3 personal foul hit to the head and ejection for Pete " Gone With " De Windt .

Paper? What paper?

P1- GilPa & Jon Dowd look like they prefer to be elsewhere. Perhaps St. Elsewhere. That new 1985 Astroturf with the 1" padding is holding up well in these adverse conditions.

“Slug it out in the slop.” R & W might have to up their game a little bit if they want to follow in Bob Dylan’s foot steps by winning that Nobel prize for literature.

ah – but you’re missing The Granddaughter in the house screaming, "NO, Gramma, NO!!!

P1…guy in the background left looks like Quake of 1960’s cereal fame…where is Quisp?

P-1: The PC Police force Gil to fire one of his coaches for derogatory comments about overweight children. P-2: Oh the drama, please note the 14-6 score. Ibet nobody sees Milford missing the 2 point conversion because Hakeem gets sacked and has his (pick one: shoulder separated, colar bone broken, ACL torn so bad the Doctor says his knee has dyslexia). P-3: Pete is so fascinated by the crippling neck injury he inflicts, he dedicates the rest of his life to Chiropractic Science. Thus, early in the story line Gil’s need for a life lesson is resolved ruining half our fun.

Theme song for Milford’s Homecoming (I can’t believe we missed this with a whole weekend to think of it.) “Don’t Rain on My Parade/Bonfire”.

Is that Pete De Windt or Jack Tatum out there? Boom!

On further review of p3, where is Pete DeWindt’s head? Can he pull it inside, like a turtle?

It’s better in the summertime when they can mistake the boxers for summer shorts.

Oh man, we were talking about Quisp a couple of months ago. My friend then went and bought a case of Quisp off eBay. (Which for some reason consisted of a whopping 4 boxes.) Don’t know if he’ll let me sample any. And speaking of sampling, how about sampling some Mopped Up Thorp? An essential part of your daily breakfast.

Milford’s hogs won’t back down from anyone, including Archbishop Thomas Murphy (ATM) HS in Washington State.

@seniorscrub: Nobody wants a case of Ayds

How is there no mud on the uniforms if they’re playing in the “slop”?

@Serial Cereal Posters: Let’s travel further back. When Hugh O’Brien was Wyatt Earp, Cheerios had cut outs of famous six-shooters of the old west. Once you cut them out, they made pretty weak rubber band guns. In Niagara Shredded Wheat, the cardboard dividers were covered in Rin Tin Tin collectables offers.

If Milford can just turn on this powerful running game at will, why are they chucking the ball all over in the first place? In bad weather or good?

When your a Plugger, the neighbors are just grateful your’e covered up.

@Ellisburkes: You sound like one who has pondered the Osa, or are you just Hossing around?
