Thank you MC Escher for panel 3. It is unfortunate that the VT player’s upper and lower torso have become detached. Never like to see that, especially at the high school level.
This was a poor story-Gil Thorp doesn’t need 100# TE’s-a kicker ok-but a female TE-has Milford been a school of about 70 students? A reader from the VERY beginning.
In all reality , And Milford can run out the clock but will they ? But wait there’s more ,Gil tells the team It’s not over until we say it’s over and Kaz adds Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ? Pelwickie get in at QB we’re dropping the A Bomb on them !
And somehow Milford got the extra point so when Moose, given his only chance at QB to take a knee says “Hell no!” and throws a bomb to Heather but it’s intercepted and run back to the Milford 20. VT’s field goal is good as time runs out and we go to OT. To be continued Monday.
More likely, this story is over right now and we’ll never see or hear of Heather again as basketball practice starts Monday.Congratulations to Former State Champion Coach Gil on once again finishing 2nd in the Valley.
Screen Pass? I think not. More like a telegraphed swing pass, slow to develop and Moose with his improved footwork, rumbled in to save the day. Bitsy, how could you omit high vaulting smart aleck cheerleaders soaring over the line for touchdowns? Somewhere, Koy Nash is locked up in jail for assault as Shimura is pursuing his doctorate.
P-1: Why does the QB have a mourning band around his forearm? P-2: The entire VT team appears to be suffering from dysentery from the way the receiver is running and the shadowing on his and the QB’s pants . P-3: Isn’t that one of those Japanese sculptures? I thought they were supposed to be cute animals like monkeys, cats, or tree sloths.
So how does this play out? Either a coach asks Moose how he sensed that play, or he gets interviewed by Marjie or Moon about it, and he gives credit to Heather. Thus launching her coaching career. That’s my bet on next week’s strips. And speaking of bets, if you were betting against today’s Mopped Up Thorp being published, you lose!
If only Heather played both sides of the ball (heh, heh) she could have thrown a block and sprung what’s his name for a meaningless score in a game they’re already winning. As time runs out so does Kevin’s chances with Heather. Although, she might keep him around. He does do what she tells him to and actually pays attention to her opinions.
Mop, season over, let’s hit the showers and get ready for basketball, hopefully already in progress….the Sulphur Holiday Tournament starts in two weeks, I’m sure Gil and Kazhole have been scouting incessantly, thus their reliance on a senior female with no football experience whatsoever . Hope there is a student, probably with some sort of savant-like affectation, that will help guide Gil through the cagers season. Or, R & W re-tool Hoosiers and bring back Shooter from detox to inspire the squad.

It’s not even a screen, it’s a backwards pass. It would have been a live ball even if it hit the ground.

Yet Heather still can’t explain the offsides rule in soccer.

Well at least Moose got to touch the ball.
And somehow Milford got the extra point so when Moose, given his only chance at QB to take a knee says “Hell no!” and throws a bomb to Heather but it’s intercepted and run back to the Milford 20. VT’s field goal is good as time runs out and we go to OT. To be continued Monday.

Pelwicki should have been able to take the interception from the 5 yard line in for the score. C’mon…

Is this flag football? The two VT players appear to have them sticking out below their jerseys.

Actually the one on the left in panel three appears to have an upside down surf board sticking out the back of his.

@cuttersjock: I’m betting on the 7’ Nigerian transfer student who has never heard of Basketball.
