P2, This is so much better in the color version. “Sorry” Charlie Roh still doesn’t have a very good grip on the ball and he’s dressed in a black jersey with red numbers and stripes while the Tilden tackler is in an all blue uniform. The third player in the picture with what appears to be a stump for an arm (Steve Boone maybe?) is wearing a red jersey with black stripes. If Gil is short on linemen and trying to sneak Steve in the game to help out, shouldn’t he at least give him the right uniform?
P3, Sorry, Chet, Charlie won’t be calling you “Dad” again this week.
Milford Livestream on Roku? Milford Ain’t Rocky? Sign Man is an enigma.
How ‘bout throwing the ball downfield for the first down State Champion Gil, instead of to Chump Charlie. I’ve got ink invested in this season, and Chet and I will put this loss on Gil at the next school board meeting.
I’m stocked up in the valuable lesson department. Teen angst? My cubs are out of the den. The football state championship was too good to be True. Is it asking too much to stay in contention for a Valley Conference 2nd place trophy through October? What did GilPa do? Watch Kaz yell at the officials and Rick Scott declare Chance Macy on the PUP list. GT’s mind wandered, thinking about that little girl on the teebox at MCC.
Poor coaching lives! Instead of dumping it to a kid who barely plays behind the first down marker, how ’bout making sure he knows where the first down marker is and to go beyond that? Army made the same mistake against ND several years ago and blew a chance at a huge upset.
Hey, I like Sign Man as much as anyone, but he is rather rude. He is always blocking other fans’ views during crucial points of the game. And speaking of crucial, it’s crucial that you read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
Since Gil seems to have disappeared, how come Kaz isn’t workin’ the ref? …“..hey zebra!….what kind of a horses**t spot is that?…c’mon man…would ya’ just gimme a break for a change?….”
Marty will not let this one go—Chance would have easily picked up that first down! Is it time for Marty and Chet to mix it up? Beard v. beard? Or will Chet learn Chance’s missing-year secret and try to force him off of Milford’s team (though he is oh for one in that category so far)? Stay tuned as we won’t know for a month or two!
I’m looking forward to see how Chet blames Thorp for Charlie’s failed efforts in this game. Will it be not giving Charlie more reps in practice? That he should have benched Chance earlier in the season because he didn’t go to parties? Inept play calling? (That one is legit.)

Gilpa will use his challenge to challenge the spot of the ball. What, they don’t have that in high school? Sorry Charlie

In all reality , give Charlie credit he didn’t fumble . Was that a Thorp at quarterback , inquiring minds want to know .

Coach Thorp never saw the Rams- Titans Super Bowl.

I wonder how much extra you have to pay for one of those seats that are right on a yard line like the ones in panel one
Fourth down, game deciding play and all those folks are sitting on their hands like that? The expectation must be ‘Gil will mess this up too.’

P-1: QB Shuring isn’t really into this game. He wants to be a Catcher and flashes the sign for a slider.
P-2: cue New Blue Cheer’s version of “You keep me holding on”
P-3: Cousin IT moonlights as a HS Referee

P1 – How do the Milford fans always score primo seats in the opponent’s stadium?
P2 – I feel sorry for that tackler if Charlie partook in the pregame sloppy joe feast.
P3 – Yay Charlie, we knew you didn’t have it in you.

P2- Tilden needs to work on their shower techniques, those hands should be up on the shoulders!

Time to work on the pass game as we are stuck with Roh, as Chance breaks parole with assault, goes back to Juvie.

I say tomorrow Gil tells Kaz to go for it on 5th down.

P3- Tilden will run out the clock? Did they have sloppy joes also?
