We were having try-outs for kicker in highschool football. About a dozen or so, including myself, gave it a shot. This one kid no one expected kicked barefoot soccer style. He could hit from over 30 yards out consistently. No one knew he had been practicing on is own. He became the first real good field goal man in our school’s history.
Okay, so he kicks the ball into the post. It rebounds back into his head, caroms up and over the backstop, then somehow curls in to hit the dirt near the back of the backstop. Howdedodat?

Snug Harbor Fats himself couldn’t have done better, Spud.

What is that in the 2nd panel underneath the ball?

That’s some hard head you have there, Spud.

Well, that’s one way to do it. Not the approved solution, mind you, but it does work.

Good ol’ Wallace, always cheering on his friend no matter how ridiculous. That’s a friend to have… if you can survive him.

I don’t think we’ll see Spuddy in the Varsity lineup. Water boy? Maybe.

Except, i wouldn’t have made it over. :D

Pretty impressive, even for Spud. Standing 5 feet in front of an oversized goal – and with no goalie – and you score!
