I’m ready for Marjie to do her seasonal flirtation with Gilpa, Marty to conduct his season of pessimism capsule and a bonfire that would make Texas A&M jealous. Pass me that pitcher of Countrytime Lemonade and let’s take on Coach Tod Andrews and Oakwood before the end of the week.
P1, Okay you two, save that shower talk for the showers.
P2, Somebody dropped the soap.
P3, Gil usually has trouble trying to find a QB but this year he’s got two bad ones. It’s about time for Tru(e) to show up and straighten out the situation.
When I first read this, I took “as practice rolls on” meaning it’s still the same practice as yesterday, when Kaz told them to end it with calisthenics. I guess it’s a different day, but I like to think the two captains are so competitive they just keep driving the team to do more and more drills, long after Kaz and Gil went home. Or at least after Kaz went home, I assume Gil hasn’t shown up for anything yet. And speaking of showing up, if you go here
Yeah, we’re making this as confusing as possible with our lazy naming and drawing. Rapson is named Charlie, just like Chance’s caddy Charlie Roh. Rapson’s antagonist is named after one of the team’s opponents. We’re just fresh out of name ideas. Rapson’s lineman friend looks a little bit like Chance (who seemed like maybe he might bring Mr. Blowtop out during the jumping jack fiasco). Maybe Will’s lineman ally will look just like Charlie Roh and be named Goshen. We can then recycle more old panels than usual.

Cue True Spiral Man to web swing in. Too bad CK is no MJ.

Looks left, throws to right. Hmm. NFL QBs might try this . .

The “repetition” is the fact that this exact same conversation is repeated in the showers later

I thought for sure we would see CK on the volleyball team today. As a friend of Mimi she doesn’t have to try out.

P3: Thankfully RubHam has pointed out what a football looks like. And who points with their pinky?!?

Looks like he’s using the force in the last panel…maybe firing up a bit of force lightening or just messing with the receiver

Also, don’t talk when you are trying to throw a football.
